Haunted

The Third Session Pt. 1

Harry

Yesterday was weird, I woke up with the worst hangover and then I looked at my phone. I cringed at my drunken texts to Eden and my stomach dropped when I saw I had facetimed her.

I wish I could have remembered what I had said. When I got to her place things felt a bit different, Eden was distant, still warm and kind but she was guarded. Her mom rushed us through our session as she had to take Eden for the new brain scans I had requested. I didn't get a chance to talk to her about the day before, it tortured me not to be able to touch her or kiss her.

I tried to call her last night but she declined it then when I texted her she said she would talk to me about it tomorrow which made me nervous so I told James to come over to her house an hour after my session started.

"Hello Harry," her mother Donna greets.

"How is she today?"

"She's better than yesterday, poor thing had a horrible nights sleep on Wednesday." She replies and my heart sinks. I did that.

"She's out in the garden, I'll be gone until late tonight visiting my son," Donna informs me and I nod as she eyes me suspiciously. "I don't have anything to worry about, right Doctor Styles? She questions.

"No ma'am, " I assure her.

"Good, I'll see you on Monday then," Donna replies and I nod before heading downstairs and outside. After walking through the garden I spot Eden underneath the tree I had left her roses under. She's leaning against the trunk and I can hear her mumbling.

"I'm not going to hurt him so just leave me the fuck alone!" She growls, "No! I'm not going to do it!" Why are you guys so set on destroying me? Why can't you just leave me alone!" She shouts.

"Eden?" I call out, she spins and scowls at me. Her eyes are dark and cold causing chills to go down my spine, I swallow hard and take a step towards her. "It's ok baby, it's just me."

There's a struggle in her eyes as her face softens, she closes her dark, cold eyes. When they open they are back to the pale blue that makes my heart flutter, she throws herself into my chest and I wrap my arms around her as I whisper words of comfort in her ear. "Shhh, it's alright. I'm here love." I coo.

"I can't take them anymore Harry, they're winning." She whispers weakly.

"Winning what?" I ask.

"I don't want to be here anymore, they want me to kill myself."

My lips part and my heart drops at her words, for someone so lovely and kind to want to kill themselves is heartbreaking..... But for Eden, MY Eden, to want to leave this world because of some voices is devastating.

"Eden, listen to me baby." I insist as I cup her face gently, "The world wouldn't be as beautiful without you. You're kind, caring and-"

"There are billions of other people in the world Harry."

"Well, my world wouldn't be the same without you." I confess and her eyes widen, "I spent years being intrigued by you Eden. Now that I know you-you're even more entrancing, when I walked into this house earlier this week I had no idea my life would change but it did." I add before pressing my lips to her softly, "please don't leave my world." I beg as I press my forehead against hers.

Her pale blue eyes search mine, tears began to fall as her lip quivers. "Promise me you'll stay in my world," I whisper and she nods as tears stream down her beautiful face. Her lip shakes as I kiss her softly, Eden's lips mold to mine perfectly as I tangle my fingers in her long blonde hair. She whimpers against my lips and all the awkwardness from yesterday fades away as our kiss deepens. Her small hands grip my tie as I walk her backward until her back meets the trunk of the tree. My body melts into hers while her tongue slips past my lips and swirls around mine.
