Finding Harry

chapter 5

“Hey, want to get out of here?" Harry's question repeats in my head. I stare at him and he raises his eyebrows waiting for a response.  “umm I have a friend coming over today?"

“Well what time?" He pushes. Its been awhile since I've gone to work... what shift is she working?

“maybe 4?" I say unsure. He smiles and looks at his watch.

“I have some good news, its only 9, and if my math is right that gives us 7 hours." He raises one eyebrow as if to say 'what do you got to lose?' I drop my head down, “6 hours...I want to be here early because I don't know the exact time shes coming." He grabs my wheel chair and is showing those gosh darn pearly whites.  He gets to my door and leaves me behind to check if the coast is clear.  He puts his finger up to his lips indicating that I have to be quiet. 

He wheels me out of the hospital being cautious.  Once we are to his car he laughs and says, “we did it!" He picks mgs up and places mute into his car.  It's a black hummer, with lightning striking down the sides. What a typical male. I shake my head at him as he sits me down.

“What? My sister said she liked it."  He sits down in the driver seat and and puts his hand over his chest as if I offended him.  We both laugh as he pulls the car out.  I laugh so hard that I snort and I look at him embarrassed, but he laughs even harder. 

“ok, it wasn't that funny!" I say as we begin to turn into giggles. “So where are we going anyway?"  I ask my fellow joker. 

“To see a friend of mine." he winks while biting his bottom lip.

“oh, ok.." I look out the window since it's my first time being outside since the accident. 

I see Harry looking at me in the windows reflection, so I turn to face him with a smile.  He just smiles for a second before turning back to the road.  The silence in the car becomes overwhelming and I know he can feel it to because he turns the radio on.  It's some opera music and I look at him skeptically.

“My girlfriend loves this type of music." He tells me with a shy hush in his voice.  Girlfriend? Why would he not have one, hes famous.

“Is something wrong?" Harry asks with concern.  Whoops, must have been thinking to deeply.

“Well I just love opera music.." I say with a straight face. 

“oh, sorry, we can listen-" but I cut him off with my obnoxious laughter. He was confused at first, but joined in on the joke. 

He gets on to the highway driving pretty slow compared to the speed limit. I look at the speedometer and he's going 70 mph on a 80mph speed limit. 

“ummmm, your going kind of slow..." I slightly say under my breath.

“Am I?...oh would you look at that." He speeds up to a regular speed and I hope we will arrive soon.  He just seems a little off.

He gets off the highway and the ramp leads into a dirt road.  Who could live down here?

The forest is beautiful, the trees open perfectly to let the sunshine through to the road.  The trees look like they could touch the sky.  I can't help but roll my window down and smile at this gorgeous sight.  I look over to Harry who looks heavenly with the sun shinning on his face.  He pulls into a trail  that leads into the forest.

“is your car even meant to drive through this type of terrain?" I ask him. 

“relax I do this all the time." He says in a whiney voice while exaggerating some syllables.

I take a giant breath in and release it quite loudly.  Which earns me a weird look from him.  I hear a bunch of branches and ricks hitting the car and I look at Harry wide-eyed. He just laughs and shakes his head.

He turns into a long driveway when a house comes into view.  It's a giant, white house.  It has long pillars and many.... lawn oranaments.

“hey are you ready to go inside?" Harry looks at me expecting for me to say something.  All I can do is sit there staring at the house. He laughs and asks, “come on, I want you to neet my friend Liam."
