So there we were, sitting in the Hardees parking lot.
"Do you know what you want to eat?" Harry asks me. "Yep I want a double cheeseburger and a large onion ring." I say with a smile on my face."
We get out of the car and walk into the restraunt to order our food and eat.
While we eat our conversation is simple. I tell him about my job at the local library.
"I love my job. On the weekends I read to the kids that come in. My job is the one place where I feel wanted. The way the kids smile at me while I'm reading to them, makes me so happy." I say
"It's nice to see someone so passionate about their job, you don't see that very often. You've mentioned your stepdad briefly, but haven't mentioned your mom at all. Why is that?" Harry asks.
"When I was little my mom was the most caring wife and mother, but that changed the day my stepdad lost his mind. One day she couldn't take his abuse anymore and left us. I understand why she left him, but I don't get why she left me." I say with tears in my eyes.
"You don't deserve the pain you have been through. No one deserves that." Harry says while gathering our trash and walking over to the trash can. He asks me if I'm ready to go and I nod my head. I really don't want to have a breakdown in the middle of Hardee's. We get in his car and he looks at me and says "Do you trust me?" I think to myself for a minute before I tell him yes I do trust him. With that he nods his head and pulls out of the parking lot. I have no idea where's he's going but I know I'm safe with him. As buildings pass by I notice we are going to the richer side of town. Now I have so many thoughts running through my head. Before I can ask any questions he pulls into a driveway that leads to a beautiful house. The house is a white two story house with an amazing wrap around porch. He gets out of the car and walks around to open my door for me. I slowly get out, still admiring the house, and take his outstretched hand. We walk inside and I am even more amazed by the inside of the house. It is very nicely decorated with a simple white and teal color scheme running throughout.
"You're house is lovely Harry, but why are we here?" I ask. "Well Thalia, there's something I need to show you and I'm not sure how you're going to take it." Harry says with a look on his face that I can't quite describe. He looks scared yet determined.
At this point I'm so confused. He just met me today, what could he possibly know that would upset me?
