Protect Me

Weirdo

I walk into the kitchen and my mom is putting corn in a crockpot.

"Where did Harry go?"

"Visit his mom."

"Oh yea, he was telling me about her stroke."

"I pushed him out the door."

Silence...

"He really loves you."

"Mom, he cheated twice." I admit.

"He what?"

"He made out with a girl in the dorm hallways, and had sex back here with another girl." I sigh.

"But he's fine now right? a Those were just mistakes?"

"Yeah, yeah. We're good. We're great."

"Why is my plate chipped?" She picks up the plate I dropped on the floor from earlier.

"I dropped it"

"Oh. Okay.."

"Ya know, I don't feel too good, you just put my plate in the fridge, in gonna go to bed..." I say

"Are you sure? I have to leave early tomorrow morning."

"Yeah, night love you."

"Love you too" she kisses my forehead.

I make my way upstairs and get into my striped pajamas and slip into bed.

The next morning I wake up to warmth. What?

I look over and I see Harry, he has his jeans on and no shirt, his arms around my shoulders.

I get up and get dressed, tripping over my tank once or twice.

"Hey you" he says

"Hi"

"You're awake early"

"I like getting up early."

"Weirdo"
