(Mostly talking)
Ruby Abby Lillis

"Hello Harry?" I asked

"Hey Ruby. Have you missed me?" He chuckled. I could see his smirk on his face.

"Not really. We seen each other like 3 days ago. So anything specific you want?" How could I be so serious saying that

"Well I would love to meet up for the project. I would love to talk about my part if the deal aswell."

"When do you want to meet and where? My mom isn't home most of the time and my brother is in his room all the time."

"We could go to mine. Tomorrow after school. How is that?"

"What do your parents say?"

"Oh... uhm they left me 3 years ago."

"Omg I'm sorry that I brought this up." Harry's parents left him? For what?

"Hey it's fine they had a reason. Anyways I would love to drive you to mine aswell if that would be fine." They had a reason?

"Yeah yeah totally. I will share history with you in the last class so that would fit." I don't even know if my friends plant everything but I dont care about that right now.

"Well see you tomorrow."

"Yup. Take care."

That was awkward. 'Take care' what the actual fck. Let's get some dinner and then go sleep to wake up early for school.

Next day

"Bye mom. Love you" I kissed my mom on her check before I left for school. I drive to school either with Kate or the bus. I felt like bus today. Going on the bus I see Louis sitting there. He doesn't seem really happy. Maybe it's just because he is sleepy. I started going towards him and sat next to him.
"Can you please sit somewhere else? I dont feel like talking." Wow he has not sleept at all probably. I wonder what happened. I stood up and sat next to one of the sport girls.

As I got put of the bus. I felt that I was really tired. I didn't got much sleep last night. I couldn't get the thought of my mind that Harry's parents left him. He is so mysterious and also so clear at the same time. Is he alright? Who takes care if him? I shouldn't be thinking this right now. I should get to class. Going through the hallway I couldn't stop zooming out and got late for class.

In history we talked about our project. Everyone had a theme by now. Ours is Italy which ik proud that no one else has. The class ended really fast and Harry and I went to his car and drove to his place.
"Can I ask about your parents or is that personal?" Why would I ask that question.
"Hmm. I don't know you would know a lot about my past and you wouldn't be ready for that." He answered.
I was quite after that. We were fully in silence. It was comfortable silence but comfortable silence is overrated. Harry looked at me with a smile on his face. What was he thinking? He is so weird. I dont even know.
"Why do you love Italy so much." He still had the smile on his face as he said that. That's why he was smiling. He probably thought about the first time we 'talked'. I remember that he said "inform yourself,love." That was annoying. He noticed that I zoomed out and just waved his hand in front of my face.
"Then YOU would know a lot about my past. I could tell you though if you want." I was used to telling people that my dad died when they visit me.
"If you feel comfortable I would love to hear." He answered. He gave me this safe feeling. I wonder why I haven't talked to him like this before. Why did I hated him so much? I sighed really hard and he looked at me knowing that it was hard for me to say. He gave me a little hug which made me feel even more safe.
"Thank you"i started "Basically my father searched for a job there and it was his favourite country ever and he wouldn't mind living there. Sadly this happened in 2002. The year I was born... and where the shooting happened. You could probably think what happened on his first day of work." I tried hard not to cry. I don't want to cry. Not today. I really felt good telling Harry about that. He understands me and said that he wanted to live his father's dream aswell but then the leaving happened. We do have similarities. I never thought his parents would go away from him. He is really nice. We talked about that for a while and then we came across our project and started to work. We took about 2 hours on this. It was really fun and he was being a gentleman. "Hey you didn't told me your deal. " fell out of my mouth. He looked at me not sure if his deal was still there. He smiled and shook his head. "You know I hope you say yes to this. It would mean a lot. Oh and.." He went silent.
"And what? And what is the deal?" I asked.
"The oh and wa just a thought of mine. Just pretend it didn't happen. My deal is..." he paused

"I want you to go to Italy with me."
