~Genevieve Arellano

My eyes widen and I look at Harry, his eyes are wide too, "Upstairs." I whisper and he's up there in a flash. This cannot be happening.

I turn to look at the door and my brother is making his way inside, he's dressed in his training outfit and his eyes meet mine. I stand up to go and hug him and he hugs me back. I pull away and smile at him.

"Hi." I say.

"Hi Gen, you ok? You seem a little startled." He chuckles.

"Oh I'm fine! I just wasn't expecting you back this early." I smile.

"I finished early so father said I could leave, I'm glad to be home though. What have you been up to?" He asks.

"Oh nothing." I say and his eyes roam to the table with the bowls of soup. Shit.

"You made soup?" His eyebrow raises.

"Yes, I wasn't feeling well so I thought it would make me feel better." I say and he keeps his eyes on the bowls.

"I was really hungry so I had to have seconds." I smile and he nods.

"Is there any left?" He asks.

"No, sorry!" I apologise and he shrugs his shoulders.

"It's fine, you weren't expecting me." He brushes it off and walks up the stairs. I run after him and pass him.

"Is this a race or something? Because you had a head start." He chuckles and I join in.

"No, it's not a race because I already won." I smile proudly as I stand at the top of the stairs.

"You won't win next time you cheat." He laughs and heads to his room.

"We will see about that." I say and open my room, Harry is laying down on my bed, staring up at the ceiling. I smile at the sight. His legs are so long that they hang at the edge of the bed, one arm is above his head and the other is on his stomach. He looks so relaxed and content, he looks like he doesn't have a care in the world. I love seeing Harry so care free.

"Hey." I whisper and he turns to look at me.

"Hey." He smiles and pats the space next to him. I lock my door and head over to my bed to lay down next to Harry. He wraps his arm around my waist and nuzzles his head into my neck. I lean my head against his and sigh.

"I would stay here with you forever if I could." I admit.

"I would too."

"I don't know how long it will be until my brother comes back to talk to me." I say and I get no reply.

"Harry?" I whisper. No reply. I lift my head and see that he has in fact fallen asleep. He looks so sweet when he is sleeping. I smile and close my eyes. Eventually drifting off to sleep.

"Gen!" I am awaken by my brother shouting my name behind my door. My eyes widen because Harry is still here. I shake him until his eyes slowly open.

"Gen!" My brother shouts again and Harry's eyes widen, he scrambles to his feet and goes over to my window.

I walk over to the window and open it for him, "Are you sure you want to do this?" I whisper.

"You have." He smiles and I nod.

"True." I smile and he leans over and gives me a kiss.

"See you soon Gen." He smiles and climbs out onto my balcony and jumps, I gasp when he drops but I see him run off seconds later. I sigh in relief and make my way over to my door. I take a deep breath, there is no way Cam could know Harry was here, right? I unlock the door and Cam barges in.

"Why didn't you answer?" He asks.

"Because I was asleep." I yawn.

"Oh, sorry. Dinner is ready." He says and walks back out of my room. I didn't lie, I was asleep but I left out the part where Harry was asleep next to me. I make my way out of the room and down the stairs to the kitchen. As I enter the room, they both look at me with a confused expression.

"Nice of you to finally join us." My father says and I chuckle nervously. 

"Yeah, sorry about that." I apologise and they both nod, I take a seat and start eating.

"Genevieve, your brother and I are going on a mission for the week and I wanted to ask whether or not you wanted to come. It's not a big one so you don't have to come. You can stay home or stay at a friends house or something. And if you don't go this time, you can come next week when we go again." He explains.

Hmm do I want to go on a mission with my family and learn how to be in that sort of environment because I will have to be sooner or later. Or do I stay here for the week and hang out with Harry 24/7 and go on a mission next week? Such a tough decision. I'm going to have to go with stay here and hang out with Harry. Obviously.

"I would like to stay here this week, I'm not feeling too good anyway so I don't think I will be able to fight to my full potential." I explains and my father nods.

"Ok, that's fine. Just try to train a bit too." He says and I nod.

After dinner, I head upstairs. It's been a really good day, any day that I get so see Harry is a good day. I need to plan some places for the two of us to go this week. I can't wait.
