My eyelashes fluttered open. My mind was reeling. What just happened? Harry just kissed me.

I automatically brought my fingers up to my lips, disbelief clouding my mind and face.

“Why?” I asked, “Why did you do that?”

“I’m in love with you” Harry said earnestly, looking me in the eyes.

“I- Harry- look” I said, “I have feelings for you, I do really, But, I don’t know if I love you, I know I like you-very much- but I- I don’t know”

“It’s Liam.” He stated “Zayn too”

“Harry,” I whispered unable to finish a sentence

“It’s okay Scarlett, I can’t make you feel anything. It’s in your heart. If it’s there tell me, if not it’s okay”

I couldn’t help myself from crying harder. I hurt everyone around me. Everyone. I’m useless. I knew he was right. Julian was always right. Everyone died around me.
First Vic and Drew, Then Nick, Hunter was dead for all I knew. Hunter?!? Hunter OH God! I had forgotten about him completely!

“sh, sh, sh” Harry held me as I cried

“I’m so scared” I cried

“I know” he whispered “me too”

“Picture this Scarlett” He said his voice wavering “tell me what your life would look like if Vivens Mortua wasn’t here. Now and in 10, in 20 years”

“I would be in 11th grade,” I breathed “Nicki would be in 3rd year med school, I would be living with mum dad and Hades. Dino, I'd tell Dino, he was the guy I liked, my best friend. I never told him, I never told my mum or Dad I loved them, I never told Nick”

I cried hard

“No Scarlett tell me in 10 years! In 10 years what would happen” Harry asked.

Harry’s Pov.

I could hear them shuffling about their putrid disease ridden bodies trying to locate us. I needed to keep Scarlett’s mind off of them. I was shaking.

“I would be in university becoming a Forensic anthropologist, I would go home for Christmas and Easter and in the summers.” She hiccupped

“Keep going,” I said softly and she did.

I couldn’t believe it she didn’t like me. I’m in love with this girl I barely know and I kissed her. And she feels nothing for me. I knew I was being an idiot. But things had to be done.

“- I would sing-” she said

“you sing?” i muttered

“yeah, music was my life, I couldn’t live without it, I would write songs, I would sing, listen to music it helped me”

“I’ll love you in the morning” I began singing- in a hushed whisper- the song we all sang when we were young

“And in the afternoon” we sang

“I’ll love you in the evening underneath the moon” Scarlett whispered

“skinny-merinki-dinky-dink-skinemerinky-doo” we smiled softly

“I” I whispered

“Love”

“You” I muttered pressing my lips to her head.

And this time she closed her eyes and let me.
