Amelia's P.O.V

Julia finally decided to call to tell me she'd be home late, even though it already was, but she claimed she and Peter got caught up at some business party. This whole day went by so quickly and when I finally got back in to my room, I looked at the clock which showed that it was only ten fourteen. Fifteen now.

"Do they love each other?" Harry asks, laying on his back on my bed still staring at the ceiling as I come in.

"Do who love each other?" I ask confused.

"Julia and Peter." He answers.

I go over and sit beside him against the bed frame. "I don't know, they really like each other a lot, but I guess I haven't been around them long enough to claim that they're in love." I shrug. "It would be nice for Julia if he loved her. He's a really great guy and she deserves it." I say smiling and knowing about her past complications that are now over and she's moved on.

Harry just slightly nods and then looks to me. "Have you ever been in love?"

The question takes me aback, but I'm pretty sure I never have been. The last time I've ever felt strongly about someone was just with Ashton. Even though we had many ups and downs, we were always so infatuated with one another. We met way before I met Veronica or even started hanging with the people from the east side. He was always there for me, even when I made friends with the ones he disliked the most. He stood by me and understood me better than anyone had ever. When we hung out, it was usually only us and soon after people started getting ideas that we'd be "perfect" as a couple, we became a bit distant, especially even after everyone started seeing me as a new upcoming 'Greaser chick.' Things were able to work out though, after Ashton finally confessed his true feelings, and I confessed mine. Just before he left, I even started wondering if I did love him. When he did leave I was almost positive I had deeply fallen for him after I couldn't function with the idea of him gone. But then months later, here, Harry came in to my life and I've forgotten the feeling for Ashton, and who knows if I ever did love him.

I realize he's still waiting for an answer when I catch his eye and give a response. "No."

"Really?" His eyebrows go up a bit then he shifts and lifts his head, and his elbow so his head lays in his hand.

"Yeah, I've never been in love." I shrug. "How bout you?"

"No." He answers.

"No? No girl has ever made you feel strongly about her or made you weak in the knees?" I question him and he just laughs which causes me to laugh along and smile,mostly just because of how he looks so genuine and different.

"Weak in the knees?" He repeats and laughs again. "Oh Amelia, no, no one has ever made me feel that way." He shakes his head, still laughing a bit. "So no, I've never been in love, and the day I am, will probably be one of the scariest moments of my life."

"How come?"

"Because," he starts sitting up fully to answer the rest. "Being in love, means opening up to someone and allowing them in, so they can go through and get to know your feelings, thoughts, weaknesses, everything. Then they'll have your heart and the key to get through you. And when you see that the other person seems hurt, or broken, you'll do everything in your possession to fix them and along the way, you'll become more fragile and hurt yourself, but that won't matter. See, you'll have this other person who you so desperately want to be happy, that you won't see yourself becoming ruined. You'll become so vulnerable under them, and they'll be the same too, yet what happens when a broken person, tries fixing another broken person?" His tone is way more serious as he continues. "You end up mixing up your broken pieces causing things to get chaotic and unmanageable. It's like trying to walk through shattered glass and picking up each piece to put the other person back together."
