/Harry/

She placed the cloth on my hand too hard. it hurt like hell, so reflexively I swung my hand away and sent the bowl flying. a strew of cuss words escaped me and she ran to pick up the fragments of the bowl. she cowered by the sink. my eyes met hers and I cringed. hers eyes were full of terror and she looked small and frail. "uh I'm sorry. I didn't mean to." I said my voice cracking. she relaxed a little and cautiously walked towards me. I handed her the cloth and held out my hand. "um just don't flip out again please..." she pleaded. "yea promise sorry." she took my hand in hers and lightly touched the cracked and busted skin. I cringed and held my breath. it felt like an eternity before she said she was finished. I opened my eyes and looked into hers studying her intently. "thanks..." I trailed off. "oh no problem." her hazel eyes were gorgeous with flecks of gold, blue, and dark green. her eyes were different I just couldn't tell why. she cleared her throat awkwardly and walked over to the sink. "um you need to keep your knuckles clean and try to keep the bandages on. if you want I can come over tomorrow or something and check up on you?" Without thinking I blurted out "yes! uh I mean that's cool if you want." I silently scolded myself. keep it cool Harry. "Uh well ok I guess I'll be here around noon if that's ok I have some studying to do so I might be a little late." she looked around avoiding eye contact. I stifled a laugh at her nerdyness. she was adorably weird in a good way. I studied her every move. her every breath. her. She looked away and I could see a tint of red creep up on her cheeks.
