Chapter six: Don't want to bother you

~~Desiree's P.O.V.~~

My eyelids slowly peel open to a bright, sunny, Autumn morning. I squint as the powerful morning sun stings my eyes. I'm cuddled up next to someone, it's Harry. A smile starts to form on my lips as I remember all the events of last night; meeting Harry, him taking me on an adventure to this beautiful place, dancing with him, the kiss, the cuddling and just talking about everything under the moon. It was perfect. Then suddenly, I remember, my mum is probably going to kill me when I get home. Smile gone.

I bounce up from my once peaceful spot,  "Shit! Oh my god, Harry wake up!" I say trying to be gentle as I shake his body.

His eyes lazily open as he sits up in confusion, "Wh-what's wrong babe?" he utters, rubbing his eyes and squinting at me placing his hand on mine.

"My mum is going to murder me Harry! We fell asleep!" I panic standing up and running to the car . He takes the blanket we were on in his hands and follows a few feet behind me.

I hop in the car turning off the still playing music and frustratedly pull my hair back into a pony tail. Harry throws the bundled up blanket in the back seat, handing me my boots, I slip them on. He starts the car and we take off.

"What's going to happen?" he says in an almost nervous tone.

"I...I don't know, I'm scared, she might scream at me, ground me, or worse. I just don't want to have to face her" I croak, tears forming in my eyes.

He takes my hand in his squeezing it, "Desiree, I don't understand why you put up with her. After what you've told me about her, she's horrible, and you shouldn't have to live like that"

"Harry, I have no where else to go, there's nothing I can do about it, I have to stay with her"

He pulls over on the side of the road and looks at me, "I know you hate it there, it's a living hell, you even said it yourself last night. Please, stay at my house, I have an extra room and-"

"No, I can't do that, I feel like I'd be invading your personal space and you said Louis is staying with you right now, I just don't want to be a problem," I interupt him, trying to hold back my tears.

"Please" he begs.

"I can't" I avert my eyes to the window looking out to the fall leaves dancing down, peacefully landing on the ground.

I can feel him still staring at me, "Look at me" he says

I don't for a second, not wanting him to see me cry, then eventually I do. I can see the sympathy in his eyes.

He takes my face in his hands, wiping the tears off my cheeks with his thumbs, "I hate to see you like this, I wish there was something I can do to make you feel better but I just don't know," He pulls me in to a heartfelt hug not letting go for at least a minute and I cry into his shoulder. I eventually pull away, wiping my tears with my sleeves.

I sit back in my seat and he takes off driving once again. 

The drive is quite long, it seemed shorter last night. Maybe it was because we were talking, singing, and having fun. Now I'm just sitting here with mascara running down my eyes, making myself look like a fool in front of the poor boy.

When we finally get back into London, I give him directions to my house. My stomach turns, knowing I'll have to suffer the consequences of staying out until morning. I bet my mum is going to accuse me of being out drinking, smoking, and getting into trouble. She knows I'm not that kind of girl, but she likes to make my life a living hell so she jumps to those kind of conlusions. 

He pulls up at the front of my house and I let out a sigh and open the car door. He immediately hops out, coming over to me.

"When will I see you again Desiree?" he says sorrowfully, 

"Not sure, I'll find a way though, I promise" I reply

"If you need anything please, please call me, don't be afraid that you're bothering me," he says looking into my eyes.

"Okay" I choke, "Bye, Harry" I stand on my tippy toes and give him a small kiss on the cheek, walking away before he can even think about walking  me to my door. I wouldn't want my mum to see him and I certainly wouldn't want him to see my mum. 

I hear his car door close behind me, but he doesn't drive away, he's probably waiting for me to get inside. 

I fumble with the keys, insert them in the door, take a deep breath, and turn the knob and walk into my house. He drives away.
