I'm in love with a Criminal

Chapter 29

ROXYS POV

I follow Harry to the car with my belongings. I try to ignore the fact that I'm leaving my school, the school I've dreamed about all my life. I'm also trying to ignore the fact that I haven't had contact with my family in forever and they have no idea that I am basically running away with Harry.

I guess you can say I'm losing my mind a little.

"You have to trust me" Harry says to me as he throws are bags into the trunk of his car. "It's not safe here for us anymore"

"Do you understand that I'm leaving everything?" I question him.

"Yes, I understand that but I can't let you get hurt because of me." he says while starting the car.

"This doesn't make sense" I was thinking about it and the truth is, yes I'm in a relationship with this guy but did I know him really all that well? did I trust him with my life? And this whole thing really didn't make sense! My parents have no idea about this, they haven't even called lately and they've only ever met Harry once! what happens when they wonder where I am? This must be a dream because I would never do this in real life.

"Just trust me, please." he begs.

"Where are we even going?" I ask sighing in defeat.

"San Jose." he replies and a part of me feels relieved, I'm thankful that we are at least staying in the same state.

"But where are we staying in San Jose? and how long?" I question. I'm starting to feel more anxious again.

"I have a townhouse there. We'll stay until I know everything is ok." he says.

"How long do you think that will be?" I ask.

"A couple weeks maybe." he says quietly.

"What if my parents call? then what?" I raise my voice again.

"Just relax we'll figure that out when it happens. Now just go to sleep we still have a four hour drive," he says trying to calm me down but of course it doesn't work, not one bit.

I put my earphones in and try not to think about anything and I end up slowly drifting off to sleep.

The sunrise wakes me up, I rub my eyes. "You're up just in time we're almost there." Harry says and I look over to see dark circles under his eyes, he must be exhausted. We pull into the driveway of a small but cute little house. I grab my few belongings and follow Harry to the door. " well this is it" he says removing his shoes.

"This is really nice." I say looking around a the spotless house all the walls are painted white and the couches and tables and counters and chairs are all black.

"follow me" he says and I follow him up the stairs to a bedroom that also had the black and white theme. "I think we both need to sleep for a while. and don't worry a locked all the doors." he says stripping down to his underwear and hopping into bed. I get in on the other side and with in minutes we are both sound asleep.

Short I'm sorry I've been so busy.
