Give Me Love//H.S

42

I was cold. Even with all of these blankets on me, I was cold. I opened my eyes to see my familiar room at my grandma's. I knew I was alone, but I wanted to be. How I got here, not sure. But my dreams were real. That all happened. I witnessed someone get shot and die right infront of me. Yes he was a bad person but it's still death. My body shook as I pulled the covers closer to me, not wanting to get out of bed. A small knock on my door startled me as my mom walked in.

"Kate honey how are you feeling"? My mom asked.

"Better". I whispered.

"Harry said you got carsick on the way back, he didnt know what to do". She said sitting by my arm.

Carsick? Is that what were calling killing someone?

"Yeah, carsick". I sighed.

"Well dinner will be ready if you want some. You've been asleep for a day and a half. Monday I'll give you doctors numbers to get it checked out." She said and walked out, blowing me a kiss.

I laid there still frozen. I wasnt mad at Harry, or anybody in that case. I'm scared. I was held at gunpoint and witnessed a shooting. I almost lost the man I love and he almost lost me. But in this time, I need him. I got up off the bed and started getting weak in the knees. I finally made it to the door and walked down the steps. My moms homemade food made my mouth water. I cant remember the last time I fully ate. Once inside of the dining room all eyes were on me.

"You feel better babydoll"? My dad asked.

"Yes, alot better." I smiled.

"Well once Janet comes down we can eat." My dad said.

I sat there looking at the seat across from me. It was empty. Harry wasnt here? Or did he not want to be here?

"Oh it looks beautiful honey". My grandma said kissing the top of my moms head.

She smiled and once my grandma sat down we began to eat. I took three big  bites of my chicken. I looked up to Mike and he gave me a small smile. I returned the gesture and continued to eat. I kept my eyes down on my plate as everyone talked around me. I blacked everybody else out. Truthfully I wasnt in the mood for anybody. I just wanted Harry. I took one last bite and pushed my plate infront of me. I turned down dessert and excused myself. I walked back into my room and climbed up under the covers.

"No, no, no, no more sleeping." The darkness spoke.

"Harry?" I asked and he came to view.

He crawled up to me on my bed and connected his lips to mine. His hands pulling me down ontop of him. His body was warm and inviting, his lips calming every nerve in my body.

"I love you". I mumbled into the kiss and he smiled. "Where were you"? I added.

He shook his head and pulled away. His hand placed on my stomach. He leaned in and kissed me again before laying down and pulling me to him.

"We had to finish everything. But it's all done now". He said.

"Dariens men"? I asked.

"Let's just say, they couldn't skip out on our offer." He said, clearly smirking.

We both stayed quiet for a a good minute. Just laying there, taking everything in.

"Are you sure you're okay"? He asked me.

I nodded as he played with my hair. It was like a giant weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. No more Darien to worry about, no more bad guys following me. Just me and my one and only love.

"I never thought I would be doing this. Laying here with a girl who I actually care about. Loving every moment." He whispered.

"Eh its okay I guess". I giggled.

His fingers pinched my sides as he started to tickle me. I couldnt help but Yelp and laugh, making all these different noises.

"I heard that noise before". He smirked.

I giggled as his hand traced my hip and the top of my shorts.

"But not tonight. I just want you like this, you smiling. Laughing and being how it used to be. Will you do me the honor and lay with me tonight and forever?" He smiled.

I snuggled into his side as his arms wrapped around me. I felt at home. This was my safe place, it always has been. I love Harry. I want to be like my grandma and grandpa. Finding true love early, and never losing it. I want to be myself and Harry is the only one that will let me.

"Goodnight Kate." He said kissing my forehead.

I squeezed him lightly and kissed his chin.

"Goodnight Harry, I love you." I whispered.

Both of us slept for the rest of the night. Only getting closer physically, mentally and emotionally. I will never forget about this night. It was the first time in my life, that i was happy to be alive. No amount of medicine or therapy can change that. Harry was my medication, he was my therapist. He was life. I never want to let that go.
