A week has passed and here I am saying good bye to my little family and getting in the car with Harry. It was a hard time saying goodbye to the people that love me the most. I sat in the passenger's seat and held my phone near me and a pillow just in case I fall asleep. Harry has his phone in his Jean pocket and his drink for the drive. He doesn't say a lot during the drive to the airport only that I could put on some music. I unlocked my phone and started playing "before you go" by Lewis Capaldi. It's my favourite song since it came out. Having it on for a while I could hear Harry humming to the song and a little smile formed on his lips. That little smile made my smile go wide and I started giggling and he looked at me and started to laugh which made me laugh even harder. I wish I could be in this moment forever.
Just the two of us.
Both laughing.
Having fun.
To my favourite song.
He told me this song actually made him cry while first hearing it. Something about this conversation makes me like this song even more. The next few song were pretty boring and dont have a meaning to me OR Harry. The whole drive was quite again and I was a lot in my thoughts about the whole trip. The drive ended pretty quick and we got on the airplane with our stuff. On the plane I started to feel tired and I fell asleep.
Waking up I was on Harry's chest and it was pretty comfortable. He moved my head away after he saw that I was awake. It hasn't been a long time until we landed. I was so excited and I think Harry was too. Sometimes I think he has something hidden here. A surprise for me or whatever. Harry called a taxi that drove us to his small house. It was so cool to finally see it and get to know his house. He stood infront of the house with a proud face. I started laughing about the fact that he looked like an Idiot. He just looked at me and thought to himself why he is here with me but he laughed aswell. The inside made me feel warm and safe. I just knew my father would live in one of those houses. My mom told me he liked old stuff and it doesn't matter how clean it dirty it is. He would definitely buy it. Harry showed me around and told me where to sleep.
It was a long day but I was up really late. Harry aswell he couldn't stop thinking about something that stressed him out. I was trying to help him but he didn't let me. Then he went into his room with only one sentence. "Hey Ruby, I want to make this the best week ever but not tonight I'm not really in the mood." Well there is that. I was sat alone in the kitchen thinking if I did something wrong. I probably didn't but I couldn't stop overthinking. I got of the couch and made me a midnight snack. Which basically means a salad with some sort of sauce. It started to get a bit to quite so I started listening to music. It was special music. The music dad listened to. My mom gave me recommendations about his music taste. I started to sing along and get into dancing. I wouldn't even mind if Harry came in and saw me.
Speaking of the devil I saw him standing there laughing to himself. As he saw me looking at him he just smirked and said:"go on I'm just watching and getting a little snack." This man is such a weirdo. So I took him by his hand and danced with him. He was so shocked it was so funny but he started to get along to it and was having fun. It turns out that this men is a really moody person. Comes here as a total meanie and now he is dancing with me to my dads favourite songs. He was an actual good dancer. I'd never thought he could dance as a quiet kid.
"When did you start listening to old music?" He asked.
"My father used to listen to them and I started listening to them because of him." I answered with a smile thinking of my dad.
He hugged me and told me:"I'm so sorry for what you have gone through. I truly am. I could never imagine to lose someone I love." At the end of the sentence he started crying. I hugged him again and tried calming him down. We sat down for awhile while he was hugging me. This day was a full moody situation. I hope he tells me what's wrong one day. He cried for about half an hour which is a absolut mess. I even guided him to bed just in case he had another breakdown. I couldn't wait to get to bed and just sleep after today. He is so stressful to live with but he is like a brother to me that I couldn't live without. I started to go to sleep but I was still awake with all my thoughts in my head. I've stayed up for about 2 hours thinking about it and then fell asleep...
