Chapter Twenty-Eight of 'The Boy In The Basement':

"That's been on your mind for the past few days?" Harry asked. I sighed. I don't know if he thinks it's stupid, and worthless, or if it's serious.

I looked down at my lap and nodded my head. "Yeah," I whispered. "It's stupid I know, but I just can't get those things off my mind, Harry." I said. I never once looked up at him. I was scared to. I was afraid he's laugh right in my face.

But yet again, we all know that Harry Styles is not like that at all. He is very caring and understanding. Even if did laugh at me, it'd be for something small. It just be a teasing manner, and I'd tease him back.

"I understand, it's totally understandable. But, I think I have something that will make you smile." I looked over at Harry who was giving me a cheeky grin. I raised an eyebrow, and he stood up, not giving me any clues whatsoever.

"If it's chocolate, I'd gladly take it." I said, giving him a clue that I really wanted chocolate at that moment. I heard him laugh, and I smiled, leaning back against the wood. I wonder what the surprise could be? Knowing Harry, it could be anything. I'd laugh if he got me a kitten, because I heard that that is his favorite animal.

Harry soon came back with a acoustic guitar, and was playing a soft melody that was soothing to my ears. Harry looked at me with a smile, and that's when he begun to sing.

"My hands,
Your hands
Tied up
Like two ships.

Drifting
Weightless.
Waves try to break it.
I'd do anything to save it.
Why is it so hard to say it?

My heart,
Your heart
Sit tight like book ends.

Pages
Between us
Written with no end.
So many words we're not saying.
Don't wanna wait 'til it's gone.
You make me strong.

I'm sorry if I say, "I need you."
But I don't care,
I'm not scared of love.
'Cause when I'm not with you I'm weaker.
Is that so wrong?
Is it so wrong
That you make me strong?

Think of
How much
Love that's been wasted.

People
Always
Trying to escape it.
Move on to stop their heart breaking.
But there's nothing I'm running from.
You make me strong.

I'm sorry if I say, "I need you."
But I don't care,
I'm not scared of love.
'Cause when I'm not with you I'm weaker.
Is that so wrong?
Is it so wrong?

So, baby, hold on to my heart, oh, oh.
Need you to keep me from falling apart.
I'll always hold on.
'Cause you make me strong.

I'm sorry if I say, "I need you."
But I don't care.
I'm not scared of love.
'Cause when I'm not with you I'm weaker.
Is that so wrong?
Is it so wrong?

I'm sorry if I say, "I need you."
But I don't care,
I'm not scared of love.
'Cause when I'm not with you I'm weaker.
Is that so wrong?
Is it so wrong
That you make me strong?

I'm sorry if I say, "I need you."
But I don't care,
I'm not scared of love.
'Cause when I'm not with you I'm weaker.
Is that so wrong?
Is it so wrong
That you make me strong?"

Harry watched me the entire time as he sang so softly, and it made my heart skip beats. He could have killed me right then and there, but he didn't. He could've though.

Harry lowered the guitar and looked at me, biting his lip nervously. "So," his voice trailed off. "Did you like it?" he asked. Aw, he sounded so cute when he's nervous.

I smiled and nodded my head. "I loved it." I said. Harry smiled as I began standing up. He set down the guitar, making it lean against the wall. I walked over to him and leaned in to kiss him. He happily kissed me back.

Smiling through the kiss, I brought my hands up into his hair. Harry grunted lowly and gripped my waist, bringing me closer to him. Our breathing paces picked up, and I was getting lost in the kiss. A warm sensation was floating in the pit of my stomach. I've never felt that before, but I loved it.

I bit Harry's lip and pulled on it. Harry slowly pulled back and looked at me. I could feel the blood pumping in my veins through my ears. Harry licked his lips and smiled. "Did you know that you're tasty?" he asked with a grin.

I rolled my eyes and laughed. "You sound like a vampire about to suck my blood, Styles." I said. Harry laughed before leaning in and kissing my nose slightly. I closed my eyes and smiled, scrunching up my nose.

"So cute!" he said. I opened my eyes and blushes, but gave him a thoughtful smile. "You really think so?" I want to know if he's just saying that to me to make me feel better. I sound so stupid saying that. Look at everything we've been through. I think by now I'd know if he was lying to me, wouldn't I?

"Princess, I know so." he said. I smiled and wrapped my arms around his torso. Realization struck me at that moment. If he were to try to turn, and didn't make it, this is what I'd be missing. And, many other things.

"So, I met someone." Dad brought up at the table. Dad insisted that Harry joined us for dinner. That's when Harry made the comment of, "Wow, thank you! I haven't had a family dinner in years." It broke my heart to hear him say that, but we were more then happy to allow him to have dinner with us.

"What do you mean, 'met someone'?" I asked, swallowing down some fruit. Harry was quiet, and Dad was swallowing his food to begin telling us.

"At work, there is this new girl that's filling in the shoes of Sara." Dad works as a agent, trying to rake up sales, and what not. He is very good at his job, and he brings in a lot of money per month. But, sometimes he was to work full time, and I miss him. But I know he'll back soon, and we'll be back together.

"Oh? Who is the new girl?" Dad always disliked the girl Sara that he has been working with. I guess she's too preppy, and too much of a drama queen for his liking. So, he's happy that she's gone after working with her for a few months.

"Her name is Jocelyn. She's very pretty, and very nice. I think you'll like her." Dad smiled. I smiled at him. "I'm happy for you, Dad." I said. "Me too, sir." Harry added. I smiled, glad to know that Harry is happy for my Dad as well.

"Thanks, guys, it means a lot. But, I am thinking about bringing her over here for you guys to meet?" he offered. I nodded. "We'd love to meet her."
