Never Let Her Go

Skipping school???

Berkley Pov.

Today is the day I have decided that Harmony is going to be skipping school for the first time. I'm currently up at 7: 32 a.m in my bed wearing a purple knitted sweater, white and black skinny jeans with purple sneakers.

Harmony went downstairs to make breakfast while I was in the shower. When I decided to get up from my bed I made it to the stairs and ran right down them.

" AAAAAHHHHHHHHH" I screamed as I tripped and started tumbling down.

Harmony came running from the kitchen holding a spatula looking concerned. She saw me at the bottom looking confused and upset.

" are you okay?" She asked.

I laughed when I realized my own stupidity and then nodded. All I could think about was she had no idea that we were not going to school we are going to somewhere fun.

" come on into the kitchen." She said.

" yeah okay." I replied.

Harmony was done by the time I got there and she placed one on the table.

" why aren't you eating?" I asked.

" well I made banana nut bread. I'm allergic to peanuts I'll get hives and my face'll get swollen and start burning."

I nodded and sat down to eat the breakfast that she made. It was pretty tasty low key sad that she couldn't have some. But I did make sure she had a bagel and blueberries.

" okay, I'm going to get dressed, will you come with me to help me pick an outfit?" She asked.

I nodded and grabbed her hand. I dragged her upstairs to our room. While Harmony sat in her bed, I looked in her closet for an outfit for her.

It wasn't long before I picked her outfit out. I chose, a gray knitted sweater, white skinny jeans, and gray sweater. I lowkey wanted her to match what I was wearing.

" we match." She said.

I smiled when she said that.

" I know that is why I chose it, now come on get dressed my friends are waiting outside." I replied.

After Harmony got dressed 15 minutes later we walked downstairs and went out the front door. I spotted my friends hanging out by the tree in their yard.

" hey, so w-where we g-going?" Robbie asked.

Harmony looked at me confused and I looked back at her innocently.

" we aren't going to school, we are going somewhere else somewhere where we can have some fun." I said.

She shook her head.

" I- I can't s-sir w-will g-get m-mad at m-me and h-hit me." She whispered.

" hey, he won't find out, the school doesn't even have your dad's number." I said.

She nodded but still didn't seem convinced. While my friends were talking I rubbed her back for comfort.

" let's go to the movies." Sam said.

" let's go to the amusement park." Ronnie said.

" let's go to the circus." Robbie said.

" let's go to the arcade." Alex said.

I looked at Harmony. It was her day and I wanted to make sure she had fun. It has been a long time since she done anything without her father breathing down her neck.

" where do you want to go Harmony?" I asked.

" school." She whispered.

I shook my head and silently laughed at her. I started walking down the street.
They followed me obviously, I stopped halfway down the block when I spotted an advertisement for something.
