Chapter 4 Fireworks

Harry's P.O.V.

I slept at Plum Field that night, down stairs in the kid's sitting room. i woke up expecting to see a bunch of kids crowded around the T.V. but there was no one around.

I got up, slipped one some pants and a shirt and headed up stairs.

When i reached the top of the stairs it all made sense. Lilly, Jady, Owen, Luke, Henry, River and Melody were sitting in theatre type seats in the screening room. "ahh! so you guys like the big T.V." i said but nobodies eyes moved from the screen.

"mornin' uncle Harry" Owen said staring at the telly like a zombie "mornin' dad" Jaddy said doing the same as the rest. "good mornin'" i laughed and walked across the room and out.

Then i walked into the kitchen and started looking for a frying pan...

Hmmm....aha! under the stovetop! Ok...now bacon?...in the freezer?...there you are! ok now plates...hmmmm....found it!...fork?...if i were a fork...where would i
Be?...

Then i spotted one in the drying basket in the sink. i grabbed it, wiped of the water that was still clinging on to it with my shirt and placed it by my plate.

Just then some random guy walked out of the dining room!

"AAHH!!!" i screamed grabbing the handle to the frying pan "AAHH!!!" the guy screamed back.

"Who are you?" i asked holding the pan up in a batters position "who are you?" he asked back. I hesitated before i spoke "i asked you first" i said side shuffling towards the breakfast bar. the guy slowly walked through the living room and towards the kitchen

"I'm Edward but you can call me Ed" he explained "what are you doin' in here?" i asked not bringing the pan down "I'm the butler" he explained some more. "ooohh" i sighed lowering the frying pan "yah...that would make sense" i said backing off of him a bit

"Who are you?" Ed asked "I'm Harry" i said putting the pan back on the stove. "oh your Mr. Styles!" Ed yelled out happily "i must thank you for saving Miss. Kendra's life!" he smiled at me and i nodded back sadly. "Your a hero in my eyes" he smiled even brighter "listen!" i yelled "I'm not proud of what i had to do! ok? So just do me a favour and don't bring it up!" i yelled. Ed nodded

"i truly am sorry...i didn't know-" i cut him off "thats ok...i over reacted...i guess i'm just....just scared" i sighed "i understand" Ed nodded

"Hey, Ed, where is everyone?" i asked "at the hospital" he explained "they received a phone call this morning that Miss.Kendra has awaken" he said reaching for the bowl of grapes on the breakfast bar and positioning it so it was perfectly centered. "they went to the hospital without me?" i said hurt "well...in their defence it was-" i cut Ed off again "no! just...don't talk" i said walking towards to coat closet.

I slipped on my coat and walked out the door

~~~~

When i got to the hospital everyone was crowded around Kendra's bed. i smiled and walked in the room.

Kendra looked up at me and smiled "hi" i smiled back "hi"

"Hey guys can i talk to Harry alone?" She asked and everyone stood up and walked away.

I sat down in one of the chairs and looked at Kendra.

"Thank you" she blurted out as tear grew in her eyes "thank you" she said again tears suddenly pouring out of her eyes.

I didn't say anything. i just got up, walked towards her and hugged her as she sobbing in my chest.

After a minuet or two Kendra pulled away. she looked up at me and i looked into her hazel-brown eyes. then - she made the first move i swear! -she leaned in until our lips met.

I heard the slow and steady beeping of the machine next to us gradually get faster and faster until it was almost at a racing speed. My lips curled into a smiled at Kendra's heart racing because of my kiss.

Kendra's P.O.V.

I pulled away and we just stayed there for a moment just smiling at each other.

"You remember when i kissed you...and i said there were no sparks?" I asked "Yah" Harry said at the disappointment of the memory

Flashback

"Kendra...i wasn't sure before but now i know! I love you! and i can't stand being with out you anymore!" there was silence "please tell me you love me too" there was more silence "please kiss me" desperation poured out of Harry's eyes. i shook my head again "i can't" i whispered "as much as i want to i don't love you anymore...I'm sorry" and with that i stood up and walked over to the living room door.

But i stopped myself before i walked into the next room

I wonder...

I quickly turned around, ran to harry, grabbed his shirt collar, pulled him in and pushed my lips against his. i put as much passion and feeling as i could into that kiss.

When i pulled away i let out a little quivering breath and opened my eyes looking into Harry's emerald orbs. "no sparks" i said standing straight up. i walked back over to the door but Harry cut me off before i could walk into the living room "there was for me" hope coated his words. i just turned around again and looked at him. "i'm sorry Harry...we just can't be together anymore" i sighed, turned around and walked into the living room

End of flashback

"I lied" i said ashamed "and it was the biggest mistake I've ever made!" i said a bit louder. Harry smiled at me "I am so happy" he smiled and leaned in but stopped before our lips met.

"I'd better not...the doctor might think your dying" harry laughed at his own humour. i smiled and rolled my eyes at him. then i grabbed his shirt collar and pulled him towards me "just kiss me" i whispered and Harry crashed his lips onto mine.

I tried to keep my heart rate down but i could feel it beating out of my chest. and then, there in the darkness of my mind......

Fireworks.
