The Dark Side

Chapter 7

I opened the door. He came in and locked it behind him. I was confused after all, he just came in, he didn't even ask can he come in. Plus he also locked the door. He had a dark red bandana, a black T-shirt with black, thick stripes on it, jeans and black sneakers. The jeans were ripped. There were some little red scars on his legs, right where you can see them. 

''Do you have any other door, where someone could just come in?'' He asked with a pretty scared look on his face.

''Uhm... Sure you can come in...'' I said pretty quiet.

''Yea, we have the backyard door, why?'' I asked looking pretty worried. 

''Can I answer to that question later?'' He said looking around.

Well, that's rude. Harry ran in the backyard door direction. He was pretty worried and scared at the same time. Weird. He's usually smiling, talking and nice. Right now he was really rude. But why?

''What's wrong?'' I asked as I was going up to him.

I didn't really expect an answer from him right now, because of his mood, but I asked in curiosity. He was checking all the windows are they closed. He went in the living room and closed the curtains. It was pretty dark in there now. My parents were still sleeping, even after Harry slammed the door. Sometimes they even wake up when I just walk in their room, but now they were sleeping like... I don't know what. I was thiking about them, but then Harry interrupted my thoughts.

''Can you turn off the TV, please?'' He said.

Please was the first polite word he said since he came into my house.

''Well first of all, Hi, second of all Sure you can come in...'' I said in a you didn't-even-say-hi look.

''Oh, sorry. Hi!'' He said walking closer to me.

''Hello.'' I said.

''Can I please come in?'' He asked taking another step closer.

''Sure, why not.'' I said still looking at him.

''Can we go upstairs?'' He asked taking another step closer.

''Sure, follow me.'' I said turning away and heading in the stair direction.

We went upstairs and he asked can he check the windows. What is it with him and the windows? That's weird. Wait what if someone was following him? Or what if he's in danger? That would explain the worried/scared look on his face.

''Only if you will tell me what's going on!'' I said looking right into his eyes.

''Yea, okey, so can I?'' He said almost running.

''Yea sure, but be quiet! You saw that my parents are asleep!'' I said still looking into his eyes.

Then everything slowly started to disappear. Everything turned black.

I woke up in my room. My head was pounding and it was dark outside. I sat up in my bed and I saw Harry sleeping next to my bed in a sleeping bag. Why? I checked the time on my phone, which was on the bedside table. It was 1 am. What? How long did I sleep? I smelled something. It was me. I needed a shower I took my pajamas and went to take a shower. I decided to take a hot shower. I stripped off my underwear and went in the shower. The water was hot, most of the times I wouldn't like it, but this time I do I was pretty sleepy, so it was just perfect for me. I was there for 15 minutes, enjoying the hot water on my skin. I remembered when I was younger I used to run through the rain with Alana. Oh, those are some really great memories. I also remember when we liked this boy named Kristoff. Now I look at him and he just isn't my tipe. I don't know why we loved him...

My thoughts were interrupted by the cold ground in the bathroom. After that hot shower I was pretty cold so I fastly put on my pajamas and went back into my room. I jumped in my bed, pulled the blanket over me and fell asleep. 

I woke up again at 2 am. I don't know why I woke up again. I was pretty hot so I decided to open the window. I went up to it and as I touched the handle Harry woke up.

''What are you doing?'' He asked in a raspy voice. 

I could feel, that I woke him up. He looked really tired, atleast through the dark he did. 

''It's pretty hot in here so I'll just open the window'' I said almost opening the window.

''No!'' He jumped up ''I'm pretty cold, keep it closed!'' He said as he came up to me and closed it.

Weird. How can he be cold when it's really hot in here. He said that he'll be right back, he just needs to use the bathroom. His sleeping bag was pretty thick, how can he not be hot. I touched his pillow it was cold. Weird, again. How can his pillow be so cold if he was sleeping on it all... almost half of the night? I placed my hand in the sleeping bag it was cold, too. What is happening?

I thought that I'm pretty tired so maybe I'm just imagining stuff. I went back to my bed. I almost was asleep, but then I heard him come in. That sort of woke up. Wait. Harry? At my house? At night? WHAT? 

''Why are you here, exactly?'' I asked trying not to be rude.

''Oh, uhm, well...'' He said. ''I was in trouble, so I needed a place to hide, you were the first person hwo I tho-. I mean your house was the closest.'' He said slowly getting in the sleeping bag.

''Oh, well, is that why you closed all the windows? He couldn't get in even if he tried.'' I said to calm him down. 

''Well, it's for safety reasons...'' He said turning to my side.

''Oh, well, glad I could help. Where did you get that sleeping bag?'' I asked.

''Well, I asked your parents can I stay the night and they were okay with that, so they gave me it.'' He said turning to his back again.

''Well, okay, goodnight!'' I said as I turned to the side which wasn't facing Harry, but the window.

We just met. How can they let him stay over here? They only knew Robin, not Harry! And they never really like the fact that someone stays over night. Why did they let him stay? Weird, again...

*** 

I woke up and it was 10 pm.

''Goodmorn-'' I looked to the side where Harry was sleeping, he wasn't there. There was just a note.

I stud up and went after the note I opened it up.

Thanks for letting me stay over night. When you're reading this I'm probably home, so don't worry 'bout me! -H.

I left the note on my bed and went to the bathroom to take a shower. While I was in the shower I was thinking about Harry. I didn't really know why...
