It's been three weeks since that horrible evening. You could say that myself and my mother are not exactly talking. After Lou left, she has tried making conversation, I know it is because she is lonely. But she didn't ask those questions when Lou was here.
That week with Harry, was horrible. He would continuously grope me and slap my bum and take any opportunity to be alone with me and annoy me. He kept bugging me about the mother situation, but I ignored him.

Now, Today is the day that Lou is coming back. She is meeting us here with Lux and Tom and then we will all leave to go to the airport where the three of them board the plane to the Bahamas, leaving Lux and myself alone. Harry isn't to arrive until tonight, but it is already late in the afternoon.
I was currently, sitting on the lounge, waiting for their arrival. I was ready to go. I had on a warm outfit with a 'DOPE' beanie on my head, letting my hair fall down to under my breasts.
I tapped away at my phone, messaging friends and scrolling through tumblr.
My mother was scurrying around in a hurry, gathering as much as she could before Lou and Tom arrive with Lux.

Soon enough, there was a knock on the large wooden door. I opened it and the three made their way inside, shivering from the cold. I took the young girl from Tom.
Lux's nose was pink from the cold and the beanie on her head made her warm. She had mittens on and a warm coat and leggings on with snow boots. I kissed her chubby cheek, bouncing her and watching as she giggled and squished my cheeks together with her little warm hands.
I laughed, holding her to my hip as Lou and Tom help my mother carry her bags out to the mini van taxi.
"Let's go sit in the car", I say to Lux, walking out through the snow and buckling Lux into her car seat right in the very back. I sat next to her, also buckling myself up and putting my handbag on my lap. My car was slightly covered in snow.
I had been using it everyday, that is why it isn't buried under a pile of snow.

Once everyone climbed into the car, I was glad that nobody attempted to sit with me or even talk to me. Until Lou opened her mouth.
She unbuckled her belt and quickly came over to the seats just in front of me where she could talk to me. "So have you and mum been talking?", she asked. Tom and my mother were chatting away and paying no attention to us.
I shake my head. Lou looks at me sadly, "I get why you would be pissed with her. But she has been talking to me. She says she is trying to communicate but you would talk to her"
"Maybe that's because the only time she bothers with me is when she has no-one to talk to. When you and Sam are out of town", I say.
Lou nods, knowingly, "Anyway, Lux's luggage is in Harry's car. He will come to the house later tonight. I will send you a list of all the things you need to do in the morning and at night everyday. You know that she sleeps with her pacifier and teddy and blanket. She will most likely give you some trouble tonight because she knows that I am not going to be there. If you want to put the crib in your room for the first night. Her bed time is 7:30- 8 PM, any time around then is good. She can feed herself, usually. But if she begins to play with it, feed her. Harry knows what to do, so if you have any trouble, ask him", she smiles.
"I love how you trust Harry more than you trust me", I shake my head.
"No, I trust you both as much. But Harry has been around her more. Almost the entire year", she says quickly.
I nod, "I have taken care of Lux before. I am perfectly fine of taking care of her"
"Okay good. But one more thing", she says, then placing her hands over Lux's ears, "Harry has her Santa Sack. He will put it in the garage tonight"
I laugh and nod. She removes her hands and then goes back to her original seats.



Soon enough, we arrived at the airport.
I unbuckled the young child, scooping her into my arms before climbing out of the car and holding my bag in my free hand. I hold Lux close to my side around the crowded airport and I follow the others into the terminal.
They check in and we go through security.


The next few moments were special ones.
Lou and Tom said their goodbyes to Lux and I stood back, watching and smiling.
My mother gave Lux and kiss on the forehead before Lou passed her back to me. Lux was a bit upset and didn't want her mother to go. But she didn't mind, coming to me.
My mother stood with Lou. Lou rushed to me, pulling me in for a hug. I smiled and hugged back. As she walked back over to the other two. My mother smiled a little and waved lightly. I smiled slightly and nodded my head once.
We watched as they boarded the plane and we waved them off. Lou was an emotional wreck though.
And then they were gone.




I looked at Lux and smiled. "Let's go home sweetie"
We caught a taxi back home.
I unlocked the door with Lux attached to my hip and as I stumbled inside, I set her on the floor and watched as she stumbled her way over to the TV. She pointed to it and I immediately knew that she wanted to watch Dora. So I let her.
I switched the TV on and placed the kids station on, which was luckily playing Dora. She climbed onto the couch and sat silently, watching the TV.
I made my way into the kitchen, deciding on Ravioli for dinner.
As I put the water filled pot onto the stove, it began to slowly boil. I then placed the pasta in. A strong pair of arms snaked around my waist and a chin rested on my shoulder. I squealed, elbowing the person in the stomach and pushing them away from me.
I turn around with a fork in my hand for protection to see who the culprit was. "Harry?!", I scream angrily.
"That hurt a bit", he frowned, rubbing his stomach.
"Well, that's what you get for sneaking up on an innocent girl", I say.
"Or trust me. I know you aren't the innocent girl everyone thinks", he smirks, grabbing me by the waist and pulling me into his chest. "This is going to be fun, isn't it"
"No. The complete opposite really", I say, crossing my arms over my chest. His eyes dart to my chest and I immediately regret folding my arms.
I let them fall to my sides, but his height gives him the advantage of the perfect view. "Pervert", I say, pushing him away, but his grip on my waist is too strong.
His eyes dart up and down my body, only after her had done this I knew he was checking me out. "This is a perfect example of why you are a pig"
"Don't be like that. I know you secretly enjoy it", he smirked.
I pushed him away, well I tried.
"I do NOT enjoy it. So, you can leave now", I say, "Just put Lux's things in the living room and then you can be on your way"
"Oh hell no. I promised Lou I would look after Lux", he says before nudging my head to the side and pressing his lips to my neck, "And you"
"I don't need looking after", I say, once again trying to push him off.
"You're under eighteen. Whether you like it or not, I'm staying", he spoke, running his lips across my colar bone.
I quickly pushed him off, regaining my balance before fixing myself.
"Well, I need to finish dinner", I say. I turn back to the stove, but I feel those same arms wrap around my waist and chin rest on my shoulder. "Harry, what are you doing?"
"Watching you make dinner. When's it going to be ready, I'm starving", he says.
"Who says I was feeding you?", I say.
I feel him chuckle. "You're giving me some of that food. Other than that, I think we're going to have a lot of...fun together", he says back. I want to hit him, but I stop myself. I don't want Lux who had now waddled in to get upset.
Harry lifts the little girl and hitches her on his hip, bouncing her up and down.
I don't want Lux's stay to be bad with me and Harry fighting the entire time, so there and then, I made a promise to try not to kill him.
No hitting.
Punching.
Strangling.
Tripping.
Kicking.
Elbowing in the gut like I did moments ago.

I will just try and be...nicer to him. But not with my words.
