Harry

Finally. Asher exited the car. After 20 minutes of nagging me over nothing between Carter's and his Mom's house.

I slammed on the gas trying to get as far away from Asher as possible he knows my temper is very fucking small. And he's really pushed it today.

He fucking knows how I feel about his prudish friends. Yet he asks me to drive one of them home. I mean Carter is hot yeah but she's stuck up & a major bitch now.

I pull into my driveway of the overly priced place I have to call home. With my dad and his horrible new wife Maria.

As soon as I step through the door she attempts to hug me. I just push her off and walked toward the kitchen. My Dad is sitting on the bar stool, he turns around with a weird facial expression.

"Harry I have a question." He stated simply.

"What is it?" I asked back sternly.

" I know youre not to fond about living in America. I understand that.-" I roll my eyes. But he continues. " And I know you dont want to spend anymore time with us than you have to. But we were invited on a family ski trip to Denver, Colorado. Would you like to go?" He finally finishes.

"By who?" I scoffed. Who the hell wants us with them on a vacation?

"The Reeves family."

"As in Carter Reeves?" I almost choke.

"Yes."

It caught me by surprise. Why the hell would I go with them on vacation. I hate all of them and their fancy shit. They all think they're above everyone. Hell no.

"Hell no." I repeat my thoughts out loud.

"Harry, I know this is different but just give it a chance and if you dont like it. Then I wont bother anymore and you can move back to England like you wanted."

"You'll let me move back with my Mum?"

He sighs. "Yes if thats what you still want."

"I do."

"So you'll come with us?"

"Yes. As long as I get to go back to England after."

"Okay."

I'd endure anything. If it meant going back to my Mum.

"We're leaving tomorrow. Go pack." He said turning around to walk back to the living room, where I can only assume Maria is.

I walk up stairs to my room and lay down as I dig into my side drawer to pull out my mum's journal. I began reading for the one hundredth time.

She deserved so much better than what she got in life. Every time I read the journal, I lose another piece of my mind almost as slowy as she did.

She deserved so much fucking more than Dad puts on.

Right after my mom told me the news I was also told we were meeting them at the restaurant downtown, fun.

I walk upstairs and put on my favorite skinny jeans and a hoodie, I didn't care what I looked like in front of them or Harry.

I hear a knock on the door and I run downstairs to get it but my Mom beats me to it.

"Oh hey Asher! Come in." Mom opens the door as I peek from behind the wall.

What?

"Is Carter here?"

"I'm here! I'm coming!" I reveal myself from behind the wall and walk towards the door.

"Hey I was hoping we could talk, but I want to do it somewhere nice so I reserved us a table for Macaroni Grill at seven, is that alright?"

"Actually im leaving for that ski trip tomorrow Ash and I need to pack. I'm sorry, maybe another time. How serious is it?" I questioned.

He blushed awkwardly. "Oh yeah okay, that's fine. Not too big, I'll see you when you get back, don't forget to call me!"

"Alright, bye." I hugged him as he left out the door. I don't know what that was about.

I slowly shut the door and turned to face Mom and Dad.

"Let's go you guys im starving!" I said quickly changing the subject.

--

We pull into the parking lot as I unbuckled my seat belt ready to get out. As were walking in my Dad answers the phone and gives them the reservation name and soon they meet us at the table.

While our parents are saying their hellos, and gossiping I turn towards Harry as he just winks at me and smirks.

"Hello Carter lane."

"Dont call me that." I glare.

"Okay Carter lane."

I roll my eyes and he smirks wider. I don't understand why he's being like this, he wasn't like this when Asher was around.

We all take our seats to a table big enough for 7. Of course Harry takes the seat right next to me and I can smell the smoke on him so I scoot more towards the end of the table.

He looks questionably at me before pinching my thigh as I shriek.

"What the heck?" I whisper loudly to him.

My father looks at me and ask what's wrong. I just shake my head as to say nothing and smile at the rest of the guest. I glare towards Harry but he's not even looking now.

We place our order and the entire time Harry has his hand on my knee, and everytime I move it, he moves it up.

When we're all finished eating Harry stands up without another look and walks away. Ass.

Everyone says their goodbyes, and we all start to leave. I'm so full I basically wobble out to the car.

When we get home, I quickly tell my Mom and Dad goodnight and head upstairs.

Today's been weird and unusual. I'm just ready to be in Colorado away from the lonely town of paradise Ohio. Even if its only for a couple of days.

As soon as I hit the bed I doze off.
