Chapter 6

I've gotta say I'm not the most athletic girl out there.. Especially after sitting on a plane for a couple hours. I felt like I was at least a mile behind Harry when he was rushing to get out of the airport.

"C'mon you little slow poke!" He yells.

It embarrasses me but I decide to brush it off. He turns around and grins his adorable dimpled grin at me to make sure that I know he didn't mean that in a mean way. So sweet. I scurry up along him finally and bump his shoulder. He whimpers at the contact and we both burst into laughter.

"So, I think it would be very lovely to go to my favorite coffee shop... And the sign says the worlds best coffee so that says it all!" He tells me beaming with confidence and I crack a smile.

"As long as they have cold coffee, I hate hot coffee.. In fact I hate all hot drinks," I tell him.

" Even hot chocolate?!" He says with surprise.

"Never tried it.."

"Well how about this, I'll buy you some hot cocoa and if you don't like it I'll buy you a coffee?" He says with a smirk.

I roll my eyes. "Ok but I better not be disappointed," I smirk back.

We make it to the coffee shop and I inhale my the scent of coffee beans, it's always been my favourite. Every Christmas my brother would buy the candle for me. But not anymore because of...

"I'm going to order be right back!" He exclaims.

He walks up and gives the order and within seconds he has two cups of hot chocolate in his hands and is walking towards me. I can't help but notice how handsome he is.. The way his brown chestnut hair is swept back messily by the olive colored bandana, how his bright emerald green eyes are filled with so much happiness, how his gray sweatshirt fell just mid thigh. I hope he doesn't see me staring.

"Here ya go, one cup of hot cocoa for the hot- drink -hater," he smiles. His smile is seriously the most beautiful thing, it's so quirky and genuine.

I immediately take a sip and literally throw it across the coffee shop and watch as all of the brown liquid spills everywhere. I feel half of the drink fall onto my shirt which hurts more then I expected because of the heat. I squinch my eyes shut as it happens and hope the pain will go away. I forgot it wasn't a cold drink, like my usual pick, I'm so stupid. Wow this is so embarrassing. Everyone was staring at me like a hawk and Harry had a look of concern on his face. He thinks I'm a complete idiot. I just know it.

"Violet are you okay?! I know it must be hot ehm.. I'll get you some erm.. Ice?" He panicks. Why is he so worried?

"It's okay it's not that hot anymore" it actually fucking is but I already made a huge embarrassment out of my stupid self.

"Wow you're brave, I would be screaming like a little girl," he winks. I smile.

He holds out his hand for me to take so I can stand up off the wet chair. Such a gentleman. Oh what a mess I have created.

"I know what you're thinking, it's okay stuff like this happens to me all the time.. I'm a very clumsy guy who tends to slip a lot!" He tries to ease me and smiles. I give him a really awkward thumbs up and run into the bathroom. I take out what it seems to be 100 feet of paper towels and run back out to pick it up.

"Let me help you, in the bakery this used to happen all the time," he laughs.

"You worked in a bakery.. how fascinating!" I say interested as I finish wiping up the mess. Then we sat back down.

"That was until it got broken into, it really crushed me and especially the old women I worked with. They had put so much time and effort into that small, cute bakery. Every little detail always counted. I've always considered them family and now is just a really rough time for them and it really crushes me thinking about it."

Wow that makes my heart break just thinking about it. "I'm sor-"

"He broke all the glass displays.. Every single one. Why did he have to do that? All the cakes were pounded into or crushed and all the signs were ripped into tiny pieces. All the money was gone, even from the safe. He didn't even have a reason to ruin the whole entire shop. What kinda person does that?! Why couldn't he just take the money instead of ruining everything!!!!" His voice is clearly angry and sad at the same time.

"No one ever deserves that Harry. Ever. That is a terrible thing and that person deserves the worst punishment," I say very seriously. My heart aches for seeing his this way.

"It's not your fault Violet, don't be sorry,"

I take his hand and rub it for comfort.

"And the sad part is that I should've been there.. To look out for them.... Maybe I could've stopped it-"

"None of it is your fault Harry, don't bring yourself down like that," I keep on rubbing his hand as I see a tear fall from his cheek. All I wanted to do was wipe away the tears and make it all better.

"And you want to know his name..?" He said quietly.

I nodd.

"Bradley Lancaster"

My heart drops and I literally feel like I'm about to stop breathing.

That was my brother.

WOW THAT WAS A DOOZY. who's ready to learn more about violet, cuz I'm sure as hell I am!! This chapter was deep and they're gonna be completely honest.. But will violet tell harry? You'll have to add and keep yourself updated to see(; I love all you beauts
