The next morning, I woke up with Harry's sweater still around me. Thank god Evie was still sleeping. I quickly took it off and put it back in the bag. The noise of my shoving the bad under my bed, caused her to wake up. "You're up early."  She said. I laughed and nodded. "Ya, on the Isle time table still." I told her. She smiled. "Give it a couple of days." She said getting out of bed. "Ya i guess." She came to give me a hug but right away pulled away, her face showing pure disgust  "You smell like salt, and garbage." She said grabbing her perfume. I stopped her. "Don't worry, I'm going to shower." I said to her. I didn't want her to ruin his scent. She nodded with a gross face. 

I went into the shower and looked at myself in the mirror. On my right hip laid a really bad tattooed H. I smiled as I touched it. Hook has a M in the same spot. 

Flash Back

There I was trying to sleep in my little bed in my apartment. Did Harry really think I couldn't beat him? I got up and put on my most intimidating  outfit. Black leather pants with my leather purple jacket on top of a old tank top I quickly ran down the stairs. He lived on the other side on the Isle. Its never safe to walk the streets of the Isle alone. Especially not the side that he lived on. But I know these streets like the back of my hand. 

As I walked up the stairs,ii heard the Tv on. I stomped up the stairs so he knew I was here.  He looked at me and started laughing. "Mal, go to bed, it's late" He said. I shook my head. "Fight me. You think I lost my skills but you're wrong." I stated to him. He sighed and got up, he didnt look impressed.  "Mal, I was joking. You are so scary." He said sarcastically. I went up to him and kicked his back. "Come at me."  I shouted to him. He turned around. "Mal, go home." He said, pissed off at this point, but I didn't care. He challenged me.  I shook my head. "No." I shouted to him.

I went to throw a punch but he grabbed my hand tightly. "Mal, you've been gone for too long." He laughed. I tried getting my hand back, but he crushed it harder. I winced. "How did they deal with you over there?" He asked as I tried to kick him. He blocked, of course. He's been fighting his whole life. I should of known better then to come here.  "You are so bad." He laughed letting my hand go. I rubbed it with my other hand. I wasn't done yet. 

I went and I kicked him in the head this time. He turn to me again. "Seriously?" He asked me. I nodded. "Fight me." I screamed. It was at this moment I realized that I felt like I had something to prove.  I didn't realize tears were running down my face. "I'm still a fighter. I'm tough. I swear."  I screamed. He looked at me with sad eyes. I think he realized what was going on.  He grabbed both of my shoulders and placed a hand on my cheek. "What did they do to you over there?" he asked me as he brought me into a hug and let me cry. 

"No, I'm tough." I cried out. He rubbed my back. "Yes you are." He whispered into my ear.  
"You are the toughest girl here." He said. I cried harder. "I think they broke me. I think, I think they changed me."  I whispered to him, letting myself be completely and utterly vulnerable. He looked at me and shook his head. "Oh Mal, I will fix you." 

Reality

After my shower I got changed. I was ready to put on my leather but I saw Evie laid out a dress for me. I sighed as I picked it  up. "I hate you." I stated to the dress as I put it on. I put on little white heels and earrings to match. Ben knocked on the open door. Turned to him. "Wow, you look amazing." He said. I smiled a little. "Thanks, its weird being back in dresses." I said, honestly to him.  He kissed my cheek. "You love dresses. You'll be okay." He said. I laughed on the inside, but I just smile and nodded. 

Ben was amazing, but he was no Harry.
