You'll Never Know

Chapter 8

A/N Sorry this chapter is so short. I wrote most of it back in November NOVEMBER. The ending I wrote today though. This is the last "old" chapter, aka the last one written in November. I'm almost finished the next chapter which is longer and written all today :)

** Nahleen's Point of View **

"Please stay"

"I have to go"

"No Harry. Please"

"Goodbye Nahleen"

"Harry..."

"I'm sorry"

"Please"

"Goodbye"

I woke up abruptly and stumbled out of my bed, half awake. I swung open my door and ran down the stairs, stumbling over my feet. I finally got to the main floor and raced to the living room. I wasn't even sure what I was doing, for the fact that I was half awake. I felt dizzy to.

Tripping over my feet, I made it to the living room.

Harry was laying in a pile of blankets and pillows.

** Nahleen's Point of View **

"Please stay" I heard a voice say in my head. I continued to sleep.

"Harry" the voice was louder, and not in my head. I slowly sat up, rubbing my eyes. I blinked a few times before Nahleen came into focus. She was sitting on the makeshift bed by my feet.

"Please stay" she said.

"What?" I replied sounding more harsh than I meant. She looked taken back and I felt bad.

"I just wanted you... to stay" she whispered, staring at her lap.

I grabbed her arm and pulled her to come sit next to me.

"Now what are you talking about?" I asked.

"Aren't you leaving?" she asked.

"No"

"But you said you... oh"

I stared at her confusedly. She shook her head and stood up.

"I'm sorry, I was dreaming" she said. Her cheeks were turning red. I grabbed her hand.

"Nahleen, I love you" I said. She nodded, expressionless and turned away to go back upstairs.

** Nahleen's Point of View **

I nodded and turned to go back upstairs. I stil didn't believe him, I'm not sure if I ever will.

I collapsed back onto my bed and prayed that Harry wasn't downstairs laughing at me for what just happened.

- Morning -

When I opened my eyes my room was painfully bright. I got up, closed the curtains over my window and went back to my bed.

Then there was a knocking on my door. Perfect timing. No really.

"Nahleen" the voice from behind the door said. It was deep and definitely not my mom's. In a panic I jumped out of bed and pulled on the door handle as hard as I could. Where was my phone? I needed to dial 911, I needed to fi...

Oh right.

I opened the door. Harry's annoyingly attractive green eyes were staring at me. His mouth curved into a smile, showing his dimples. I died inside.

"Hey, sorry to wake you but I have to go in a half hour so..." he said. I gestured for him to come in. It was a little awkward to have him in my room but I'm used to it, Harry and I have had too many awkward moments together to count.

"Sorry I'll make my bed, if you want" I said.

"No it's fine" he said and sat on my very unruly bed.

"Do you want breakfast?" I asked, "I'm getting fruit for myself. I would make you pancakes or something but there isn't enough..."

"Anything would be fine, love" he replied. I nodded and headed out the door. And then it hit me. He's alone. In my room.

** Nahleen's Point of View **

Her room was very... Nahleen. She had a regular twin sized bed with a two-drawer nightstand beside it. She had a dresser to match her nightstand. One wall had a huge collage, that I could tell she made herself. And in the corner was her guitar.

There were two framed pictures on her nighstand. I picked one up. It was her when she was a lot younger...

"I'm back!" Nahleen said from behind me. I put the picture back down. She handed me an apple. I smiled at her.

** Nahleen's Point of View **

"So... I guess you should get ready if you have to leave soon" I said awkwardly. More than anything I just didn't want him to bring up the event that happened last night. He nodded.

"That would be a good idea but I'm ready" he said.

I sat there unsure of what to do or say next. I say down on my bed, a safe distance from Harry. He almost immediately moved over, now sitting dangerously close to me.

Then before I knew what was going on we were both sitting there staring at each other, for more than a few moments.

My eyes darted from Harry's eyes to his mouth and back to his eyes.

I don't know who leaned in first.
