Chapter 26: 'Morning numb-nuts (A.K.A Bree and Carter)'

Amelia's P.O.V

"Harry!" I call out, "Wait slow down". I fast walk out the living room, behind him aware that Carter and Bree are still looking at the computer.

Harry abruptly turns on his heel making me slam into him. He maneuvers around me and shuts the door. "We need to leave" he announces

"Leave?" I ask slowly

"We need to get out of here Melia" he says, taking my hand.

"You want me to run away? Harry you can't do this to me" I cry out

I don't even understand what to feel, let alone think. I mean how many times has this situation come up?

"Amelia please" he begs, his gorgeous blue eyes staring into mine. He cups my head and leans in closer- I swear I see tears brimming...or maybe I'm imagining it. "You have to understand. I know this is selfish but I love you and I swear to God if I lose you again..." he trails off, looking down.

"What?" I whisper, turning his head slightly so I can see those eyes again.

"I just need to know that you're safe. Away from here" he answers instead.

"Harry this is insane" I say, shaking my head. "You can't just drop a bomb on me like this. I mean come on Harry, be reasonable"

"This is the most reasonable I can get Amelia" he says, with pleading eyes.

"Where would we even go anyway?" I ask, in desperation

"Italy" he confirms

I take a step back, "Italy?"

"Yes"

I furrow my eyebrows at him. He's not serious. I wait a few seconds and observe him hoping he'll crack and tell me it's not really Italy. Unfortunatley this idiot is serious.

I clench my jaw, "Do you think I'm stupid Harry?" I speak in a warning tone.

He gulps and looks wearily into my eyes. Well at least he has guts to look at me. "I am" he nods

"You're telling me that you want me to be safe, so you'll take me to a country that is full of Italian Mafias that we both know about, running the streets?"

"Erm...yes?" he hopes

I look at him in despair, "I swear on Lila's life Harry, if I didn't love you I would have kicked your ass by now"

He looks at me in confusion, "Erm...Lila?"

I give a weak smile, "I wanna name my first daughter that"

"And who's gonna be the father?" he teases, flashing me a grin

"Erm...you?"

He laughs and embraces me, "I didn't think you actually-"

"Think about these things?" I cut off, "Yeah I know"

"Are you starting to become girly?" he says, knowing he's already gonna snicker without even looking at him

"Maturing" I correct

He gives a small giggle and pulls apart, "Are you with me on this one?" he says, being all serious again

I bite my lip in hesitation. If this were any other day I would have jumped for joy to have ran away with him but...all I could think about was Austin, Carter, Bree and Gabs. I just can't leave them like this. I look over Harry and see his face falling and honestly I want to do everything I can to see him smile again.
