He Won't Leave

Sammy's

You park your car the the two of you get out and walk in. The place smells like alcohol, but it is a bar and grill so you're allowed in of course. It's just as you pictured it would be, and you really like the design! Kind of rustic but night club like. But of course more chill because it is a restaurant. You order a double cheeses burger and Harry orders the same thing. You both decided it was smarter to play it safe cause this is a new place. When the meal is almost done, Harry finally has something to confess.

HARRYS POV:

"Hey Caiti, so I have had something on my mind for a while now,". "Yeah?" Caiti adds as she's taking the last big bite of her burger. "Well I am going on a trip with my family and it's going to suck, I'm really not ready for it". Caiti tried her best to cheer me up, "well you'll have me to FaceTime and call or text whenever you need too!". I guess it kind of worked. I really enjoy talking to her. I don't think I am ready for this trip at all. When I say my family doesn't get alone, I mean it to a huge extent.. It's the causal stuff, dad is a drinker and beats mom, both are batshit crazy. My siblings and I get along as long as they're not there, which is why we aren't home as much as possible.

You're probably picturing my father as a medium height, middle aged man the a slightly grey stubby beard and semi dirty skin wearing a flannel, jeans and a baseball cap, swinging a beer bottle around. But, it's quite the opposite. Sharp clean cut business man, drinks because of stress and beats because of drinking. We aren't millionaires but we are wealthy, but I'd rather have a family in poverty and happy as ever, than the one I have now. My sisters, Harmony and Melody are twins just one year younger than me. They're pretty okay, we don't always get along and we rarely ever bond anymore but we were tight as kids and we are still close now.

CAITIS POV:
I genuinely don't know how much more of this Harry can take.. he seems more and more stressed about it each year, because his family only gets worse. Why they still go on these trips, I will never understand. It's exactly like home but under a different roof. It is always supposed to be a vacation, but it never is and that's why it's worse then normal life.

I ask him "Is there anything I can do at the moment or even when you're there to help?",
"Well unfortunately it's a family "vacation" so you can't go, but FaceTime me whenever I have the chance? I found a spot to hide and no one has discovered it yet." He adds. "Sure! Anything for you!" We finished off our really delicious dinner, wow! I know where we are going from now on!!

NARRATOR:
You and Harry walk to the car, belly's full amazing food that you're 100% going to eat again. He can tell how full you are so he offered to drive. You kindly accepted and hopped into the passenger seat. Although you not driving for a change is nice, you never really realize how bumpy those roads are till you have a stomach full of food. The car ride seems to take much longer than usual and you check the mph on the car and Harry is going a few milesslower than I usually go. And he's normally a faster driver than me. You asked him why. He said he wants to stall going home... So you said it was okay if we went to your house, since they're not too far apart. So, you guys turn around and make your way to your house.
