When I Lost You, I Lost Myself

Chapter 9

When the movie was over it was around 10:30, and Selena wanted to have drinks. She was trying to convince us.
"Guys come on, drinking is fun"
"What do you have?" Abel asked.
"We can go take a look. You two goody goody's coming or what?"
"I don't drink Selena you know that" I complained.
"I'm staying sober tonight, I only drink at parties" He just wanted to be with me, and it made me smile on the inside, but on the outside I acted 'normal'.

When the two left, Harry started with the questions. We were sitting now, facing each other,

"Why don't you drink?"
"Last year I went to a party, and I got drunk and these boys  tried having sex with me, and many other reasons."

"Like?" He's pushing it.
"It's fine, you don't have to say, maybe some other time" He gently smiled and twirled my hair.
"Thanks for understanding. It's just my mom was killed from a drunk driver, and my sister is a rebel, and she drinks and I just don't wanna end up like that"
I felt emotions start rising, and Harry pulled me in for a hug.

"I'm sorry for asking. I didn't know"
"It's fine" I sniffled. "You can make it up by getting my stuff, coming back and locking the door" I smirked at him.

He jumped to his feet and rushed out of the room. He came back quietly, and shut the door. He locked it, and seemed nervous.

"What're you planning on doing now?"
"Come cuddle, we can talk, and we can go to sleep"
He smiled, almost relieved. He laid down and wrapped me in his arms and it felt like a safe place to be.

Soon I started to drift away into sleeping into his arms. He was drifting too with his arms wrapped around me.

A perfect way to end a night, don't you think? I know I think it's a perfect way.
