We step into their large kitchen and take a seat on at the bar. Anne gives us a sweet smile as she flips the pancake over in the pan. I peek over to see how far she is on making the pancakes because im starving. I fell asleep on the couch with Harry at about 9 and i was about to get up for dinner or something to eat at least, but the sound of his heart over took my body as i fell into a deep sleep. I glance at the clock to see how much time i have to get ready for and my eyes widen. "Harry we have to be ready for school in 5 minuets!" i say. My head swings back around to look at him. He holds a blank look as he eyes the clock then darts his humerous eyes back to mine and his deep laugh fills the large kitchen. I am so lost. I look over at anne and i can tell shes trying to hide her smile. "What?" i whine wanting to know why they are both now laughing at me.
"Luna, its Saturday." Harry says controling his laugh. Oh. My worried expression is replaced by a smile and soon a laugh. I like to laugh at myself for doing stupid things instead of being embarassed, it just makes it better. Harry and Annes laugh has gone down but i decide to laugh just a little more. That wasnt the smartest idea. As i breathe in a snort escapes my lips. My hand swings up to my mouth and covers it. Harrys laughter booms through the house. When Harry laughs really hard, his nose gets scrunched up and his dimples are even more prominent. Annes sweet highpitch laugh makes me giggle a little.
Once agian their laughing dies down and Harry dramtically whipes the tear that fell from his eye, with his finger. "Oh right." I say a little embarrassed.
Anne hands harry and I two plates and the dishes look delicious. Mine has three pancakes stacked up on top of each other with Anne's raspberry sauce, that she made herself, drizzled on top, while Harry's has three pancakes spread out on the plate with the sauce on the side. I have obviously been here enough times that Anne can even make my breakfast perfect. I smile at the thought then dig in. It tastes as good as it always has.
The morning light shines through the big window in Harry's kitchen and I can feel the warm Florida breeze, coming from the open windows, on my bare arms, I really couldn't be in a better place right now.
When we finish the amazing breakfast, Harry kindly takes both of our dishes to the sink and then we head back to the TV room. I plop myself down on the leather couch and grab my phone off of the table to check it. I have a few messages from Calum, I open them right away.
'Hey Luna, I was wondering if you wanted to go out to lunch with me this afternoon?' It reads.
A smile creeps up on my face and Harry notices. "What happened?" He asks sitting down next to me. "I have a date to go on." I tell him and his face falls but he quickly recovers and I pretend like I didn't notice.
"With who." He seems almost angry as he sits up off of the couch.
"Just Calum, he invited me out to lunch."
"Oh well you two have fun." He snaps and quickly walks out of the room. Not long later I hear a door slam and I jump up to chase after Harry.
I pass Anne in the kitchen as I try to go unnoticed up the stairs, but I know she can see me. I look at her and open my mouth to say something but she nods and tells me to go before I can. I take two steps at a time trying to get to the angry Harry. I've never really seen him this mad honestly, he's always so quiet and sweet.
I find the door to Harry's room and try to open it but the door is locked.
"Harry, are you ok?" I gently knock on the wood door. I hear him fidgeting with the lock then the door swings open revealing a very angry looking Harry.
"Harry what's wrong?" I kind of push past him, into his room because I know he wouldn't have let me in.
"You know I don't like Calum." He growls. Him saying this makes me angry too.
"I don't care if you don't like him, I do Harry." I say standing up off of the bed.
"I don't think you should go." He tells me.
"Well I'm going to and there's nothing you can do about it. I really like him."
"You don't know what he has done." What?
"What are you talking about?"
"I... I can't tell you." His silence about this brings more anger to me than before. "Luna, just listen to me, your not going on that date." He raises his voice.
"Why are you yelling at me? You're giving me no reason not to go... so I'm going. And I would still go even if you gave me a reason not to because this is my date, not yours, so you can stop bossing me around."
"Fuck, why can't you just believe me?" He's steaming.
"Because you're giving me nothing! Why can't you just be happy for me?" I fire back. I almost want to cry.
"Because I don't like him." His tone is blank. Is he joking?
"You're insane. I'm going on this date and there's nothing you can do to stop me." We've blown this argument so far out of proportion. And honestly I'm partly only going on this date to prove that Harry can't control what I do.
"Luna come on. Don't make me be the father figure you've never had." He says in a tone I have never heard before. Like he's mocking me. I gasp at his words and feel the tears pool at my eyes. How could he say this? Those few words seemed to have sliced right through my small heart. My body was beginning to fill with rage and betrayal as more and more tears fall from my face. Harry's face pales as he realizes what he said.
"Luna, please I am so sorry." He says taking a few steps towards me, his voice no longer angry but full of sorrow. I take a few steps back but the closed door stops me from going any further. I continue to sob as he grows closer to me. I want scream and curse at him for saying something like that but I can't seem to find my voice. This is not the Harry I know. I want to get away from him. As far away as possible. I cover my face with my hands hoping that he will disappear.
I can't feel his fingers wrap around my wrists as he pulls my hands away from my face. I don't look at him. "Luna, you know I didn't mean it I am so sorry I shouldn't have said anything please..." I cut him off by pushing him off of me and he stumbles back, but doesn't fall, I ball my fists at my sides.
"I did have one, and he loved me!" I scream, finally. Harry recovers and steps towards me again. "I know, I..." I cut him off again. "Get away from me." I say with as much venom in my words as I can. I open the door and fly down the stairs. I can hear Anne and Harry shouting my name from behind me but I keep running until I get to the front door. I open it and slam it shut behind me leaving all of my things at Harry's except for my phone.
When I get to my door, I prey my mom is still at work and I am relived when I see a note on the counter that says she'll be out a little later today. I go straight up to my room and lock it just incase Harry tries to come after me because he has our spare key. My hands are far to shaky to text Calum back so I dial his number and he answers on the second ring.
"Hello Luna, What's up?" He asks.
"Hey, I'm sorry.. I cant... make it today. I'm..going through some... things with Harry.. right now." I tried not to make it so obvious that I was crying but that didn't work.
"Luna are you ok? Do you want me to come over?"
"Yes." I simply state. I need him to get my mind off of Harry.
"I'll be there in ten minuets with pizza, okay?"
"Sounds good." I giggle a little through the tears. I hang up my phone and lay it on the nightstand.
I dry the tears off of my cheeks and try to make myself look a little more presentable before he gets here.
About 10 minuets later I hear a knock on the door and I rush down the stairs and open the door to a smiling Calum.
I wrap my arms around him, causing him to stumble back but soon he wraps his strong arms back around me. I glance over to Harry's porch and see Harry himself frozen in mid-step as he watches us. I glare at him before walking inside with Calum. I hope this goes well.
