My breath hitches and I swear my heart skips a beat- but no where close to the good way.

"Hi."  He says dryly, pushing past Lou and walking towards me, only taking about 5 strides to get in front of my face due to his long legs.  He puts his abnormally large hand on my cheek- only to get wacked away by my small one.

"Don't touch me.  I wouldn't want you killing me like you killed my mum."  I spit.  His face changes from his normal, relaxed face to a face that looked like he has seen a ghost.

"I didn't kill anyone.  Do I look like someone who would kill somebody?!"  He booms, shaking the walls of the flat.  I study his features and his body.  His hair is pinned back in what looks like some sort of quiff, his clothing is completely black; except for his brown boots.  His tattoos fitting perfectly together in all the right places.  His bright green eyes piercing into my blue ones.

"Yes, I think you do."  I say, glaring at the man in front of me.  His expression hardens and he looks to Lux, who is probably bewildered by how Harry was acting.

"It's alright love, nothing happened."  He coos, picking the small child up.  She smiles at her, dimples popping out in his cheeks.  I smile lightly at how he is with children, but it soon disappears- remembering that he is the person who killed my mum.  That is unforgivable, I wouldn't be able to forgive him even if I tried.

I laugh, grabbing the small kitten and pulling him into my lap.

"But mum, pwease!  I want the icesweam!"  Lux cries, running around in small circles in the kitchen.

"Lux."  Lou scolds her child, making her hush.  I play the the ears on my hat that Lou let me borrow, considering my hair would not stay down no matter what kind of hair product she put in it.  I grab the iPhone Lou gave me after running to the store for 'groceries'.  She says she considers me as her own daughter right now, and that I'm staying with her until we find any type of contact from my family.  I go to the camera, taking pictures of Lou and Lux.  "Comon' take a selfie!  Every girl needs a selfie on her cell."

"A selfie with this adorable kitty."  I smile, switching the camera so it is pointing towards me.  I put one hand behind my head and make the duck face.  The kitten is looking right at the camera, her tail kinda flared, but she looks happy, I look happy.

Laughing, I show the picture to Lou.  "You and that cat are adorable!"  She says, taking the phone out of my hand.  Her thumbs tap the screen a couple times and she pushes the home button.  "Look."  She says, holding my phone out to me.  I take it and see myself and the kitten on my home screen.

"Thanks"  I say with a smile erupting over my features.  Lou nods, a grin on her face too.

"Lets go shopping!  You need new clothes!  God, I feel like a bad second mum now."  She says propping her hand over her forehead for a dramatic effect.  I smile and shake my head 'no'.

   We walk into Lou's car.  She turns up the music to some pop and I stare out the window of the passenger side, my head leaning on the cold window.  

We get out, walking into the mall.  Lou drags me into some store I didn't even get to see the name of and picks out shorts, jeans, shoes, shirts, hoodies, necklaces, bracelets, and pretty much anything you could think of.  

I laugh at how full her arms are of clothes and jewelry and walk up to help her.  My smile is cut short when I see some curly headed, tall guy looking at Lou, Lux and I from outside the store.

A/N; So I got 2 reads and 5 votes, which makes absolutely no since, but I made the chapter and I hope you like it.  Once again, if you are wondering why the chapters are so short, they will get longer as the books progresses.  So I'm changing it from reads to comments, because I really want feedback on my first book (and I'm thinking about making another one).  So 3 votes and 2 comments for next chapter!  Oh, and the two comments have to be from DIFFERENT people!  So remember if you want another chapter, vote and comment!  Ily guys!
