We soon came up to a house. This house looked ordinary, yet comfortable and safe. "Harry, is this where we're staying?" I asked Harry. "Yes, for now, love. My mum's really good friends with my friend Niall's mum, Maura. Trust me, she's a real nice lady, and Niall's a real good friend of mine." Harry explained, kissing my hand softly. I nodded and we all got out of the car. Anne sighed and came toward us all. She looked at me with sympathy in her eyes, but then turned toward the house as we heard a door shut. "Hello, Anne! Who are they?" the woman who had just came out, asked walking towards us. "They are Rebecca, Emily, Denisse, and of course you know, Harry." Anne replied smiling. Maura just smiled and shook each of our hands. "Harry, so nice to see you. How are you?" Maura asked as she hugged him. "Good, I guess." he replied. Maura turned to me and smiled. "And you're... Emily, right?" she asked raising an eyebrow. "Yes, ma'am." I replied politely smiling. "How lovely, are you two dating?" she asked Harry and I. "Yes, Maura, we are." Harry replied smiling at me. Then we heard a door shut again, I turned to see a blonde haired, blue eyed boy come out. "Finally, Niall. You need to stop eating!" Maura said to the lad who had just came out of the house. "You know I can't stop eating mum, I love my food." The boy, im guessing his name was Niall, turned to us. "Hello, who... who are they?" he asked, eyeing all of us, but stopping his gaze on Denisse. I smirked at her and she just looked at him like she was in love.
"They're our guests, Rebecca, Denisse, and Harry's girlfriend, Emily." Maura explained, pointing to each one of us as she explained. Niall nodded and turned to Harry, "Your girlfriend?" he asked raising an eyebrow at Harry. "Yeah, Niall. My girlfriend." Harry replied taking my hand. Niall took my other hand and smiled. "Nice to meet you." he said shaking my hand and then letting go of it. "Nice to meet you too, Niall." I replied smiling. He turned to Rebecca and smiled and waved. "You're, Rebecca right?" Niall asked. Rebecca nodded and they shook hands. Then Niall turned to Denisse. "Uh, pleasure to meet you, Denisse right?" he asked, holding her hand a little while longer. She just nodded and looked at their hands together. Niall blushed and dropped his hand away from hers. I smiled at them and Maura smiled too. "Let's show them their rooms, Nialler." Maura said, while walking inside. Niall nodded and we all walked in. It was a nice house, it reminded me of a comfortable cottage, though It was kind of small.
"Rebecca, Denisse, you'll be staying in this room." Maura said, directing them towards a room that across from the one where Niall, Harry, and I stopped. I could hear Rebecca whine, "Why do we always have to share?" I laughed and looked over at Harry, to find him standing there chuckling also. Niall opened the door that we were at and said, "you two will have the other guest room. Mum set out sleeping arrangements on the couch, but seeing as you two are together, then you might as well share." Niall said, leading us into the room. The room was nice. It was baby blue with white trim, not much bigger that the old room I had. It was brighter, and it had a balcony. Great, I love balconies! I smiled to myself as Niall led us to the washroom. "Here's your washroom, and I hope you like it here." Niall said politely before going to the door. "No need to say 'I hope you like it here,' Nialler, this isn't a hotel." Harry said. Niall laughed and rolled his eyes, and then left. Since we didn't really have any clothes, Maura said that she'd take us all shopping tomorrow. I really didn't see the point in that, because we all had our clothes at home. The only thing stopping us from clothes, food, shelter, and safety was Rob. Rob, my stupid stepfather.
I sighed and sat on the bed, and Harry took my hand and sat next to me. "Anything wrong, love?" he asked me, rubbing his thumb against the back of my hand. "Yes, everything's wrong. I'm sorry about Rob. He's kind of crazy..." I said looking down. "Emily, it's fine," Harry said, lifting my head up so he had to look me in the eyes, "and I think we all know he's far more than crazy. He's crazy for ever hurting someone as beautiful as you. You are so undeserving of how he treats you, and I'm sorry I couldn't really help you." Harry replied with a sigh. I let out a long breath and looked him straight in the eyes. "Harry, it felt like nothing you could do could really help me, he had all control over me. I was weak, powerless, so don't be ashamed. Dont regret, we have our whole life." I said wiping a tear away. Right after I said that, he broke down. He started sobbing and crying into my chest. "Emily, I'm sorry..." he kept repeating and repeating. He looked so helpless.
