(Sam’s POV)
I woke up alone. The sheets were placed neatly over my body and my arm was placed carefully next to my head. I could just imagine Harry sneaking out from underneath my arm and making sure every inch of my body was covered with the blanket. I smiled when thinking back of yesterday, I was a little paranoid about the fact how everything was going so perfect. We didn’t do much though, but I’ve never laughed so much (and mean it) in one day. Harry cooked for me, after I decided what we would eat and get the ingredients from the supermarket. Harry was whining about it, that I was paying everything, but I told him it was my sort of rental. Not that it was suddenly okay or anything.
I forced myself out the bed and tiptoed downstairs, a few steps cracked, but I decided to ignore it. Harry was standing with his back in my direction with only short yellow shorts covering his body. I couldn’t really see what he was doing, but it looked like he was just staring out of the window. I came closer and he still didn’t hear me, so I slipped my arms around his torso and placed a soft kiss on his shoulder blades .
“Hi,” I whispered, he turned around abruptly and studied my face with the most beautiful grin ever. “Are you always awake so early in the morning?” I asked after he placed his lips on mine.
“I went jogging this morning” he studied my face for a few seconds before speaking again. “I really don’t have a lot to eat, but I have cereal and some fruit, if you do-“
“It’s perfect” I cut him off before he suggested things he would regret later. After some searching, I found two bowls and spoons, Harry placed the cereal on the table and sat down on the opposite side. “May I ask where you aunt is?” I asked carefully. Harry’s eyes widened, finished eating his banana and only then answered my question.
“Run away with my money” The hatred in his voice was clearly audible and it sent unwilling shivers down my spine. I remembered how Harry would describe his mum and how much he loved her. When I told him how much my sister hated me, he told me all these cute stories about him and his sister. But when I see him here, all alone with no money or whatsoever it kind of broke my heart, thinking he’d maybe make up those stories to cover the truth. I decided to leave it this way, I didn’t want to upset him in any way, or fight with him. I was having so much fun with him.
“I was thinking about introducing you to my friends” Harry rested his chin on his intertwined fingers and looked up to me, waiting for an answer.
“That would be lovely.” I smiled at him, and observed at the way his eyes lit up when I reacted excitedly.
“I have this place I always go to, it’s beautiful. It’s just a grassland, but it’s beautiful.” He said out of the blue, I finished the cereal and put both our bowls in the sink. I turned around and found Harry’s gaze still on me.
“Let’s go then? I’m first gonna brush my teeth though” I quickly run to the bathroom and thanked myself for thinking of a toothbrush yesterday when I went to Tesco’s for the ingredients. Harry joined me in the bathroom a few minutes later.
“You can use some of my sisters clothes if you want to. They’re in the room on your left” So he does have a sister? I opened the closet and found a lot of clothes. I picked some jeans that easily could be mine, it fitted almost perfectly. If I had to wear it 6 months back it would tear apart, but because of the lack of nourishment on the island I lost some serious weight. I grabbed a purple sweater and jogged to the living room where Harry was waiting for me with a huge grin.
“What?” I asked, looking down to see if I didn’t forget to put on the pants. But, nope they were still there.
“I lost that hoodie ages ago, I didn’t think I’d ever find it again.”
“I thought it was a little big” I grinned back., looking at the sleeves on my arm. He closed the space between us and pulled me against his chest.
“You look cute” he murmured against my hair. I felt heat rushing to my cheeks, he let me go and quietly chuckled about my blushing cheeks. I slapped his arm and he started laughing even harder, he was so unbelievably gorgeous. “Are you ready?” He didn’t let me answer, he just took my hand and we both walked out of the door. I found it a little awkward, since we didn’t really say anything and his hand was almost forcefully placed in mine.
“It’s here, I know it doesn’t represent much.”
“It’s nice” It didn’t represent much, but it looked peaceful and I could understand why he adored the place. I sat down and waited for him to sit down too. He stared into the distance for minutes, I spread my hands behind my back and leaned on them when looking at the way his features changed. Eventually he sat behind me and held me exactly like he used to on the island, only now it was real.
“I used to live with my mum, her husband Robin and my sister Gemma” He suddenly said, I flinched at his sudden words. I turned around to look at him, I sat crossed legged before him and he looked right through me. “I loved them all so so so much, and we had so much fun together. But then there was this guy, a friend of Liam’s and he ruined my life. I’m not going into detail, but at the end of this pure horror part in my life my aunt took my sister and myself in her life. It was all fine at the beginning but then she started to abuse me, in the most horrible way. My sister didn’t know about this, but she hated the woman so much. The day she turned eighteen she had enough of her shit and left me behind with the lunatic woman. She send me to the Island and since well yea a little more than a day, she left with my money. And I’m here in her house, with barely anything.” I had so many questions for him, but my heart broke with every word a little more. His eyes look hurt, almost begging me to take him out of this misery, but the soft, forced smile tried to prove me differently. “We should go” He nervously ran his hands through his hair. I shoot him a pitied smile and walk in silence beside him.
We both walk on a huge driveway and I finally breathe out when he rings the doorbell. This is such a strange day. I am relieved when I recognize the guy who opens the door. His hair is neatly put into a quiff and his brown eyes welcome me immediately.
“Hi, Sam” He greeted me first. “Harry, long time no see. Finally decided to show up again huh?” he joked and widened the space between him and the door so we could come inside.
“You know each other?” Harry asked Liam confusingly but his eyes flickered from the puppy eyes to mine.
“Kind of, we met in the bar and I told her where you were.” He explained casually. “Uh, I don’t know if you were planning to visit for long, because yea” he scratched the back of his neck. “I’m kind of meeting the parents of my girlfriend tonight, sorry mate didn’t expect you today.”
“It’s okay we can leave” I tugged on Harry’s shirt, but he didn’t even flinch .
“Nah it’s fine, you can stay for another two hours. Should I call Louis?” He asked and motioned his hands to the living room. The contrast with Harry’s place was indescribable. Large paintings were covering his massive hall and even the lustre in the middle of the place looked more worth than Harry’s entire place.
“So what brings you here?” He yelled from the kitchen, Harry and I both sat down awkwardly on his couch and waited for Liam to return. “I hope beer is good enough?” he chuckled a little and handed us both a bottle. Harry immediately placed his lips around it and almost forgot I was here. Only when he placed a hand around my waist, I assumed he remembered I was here.
“We all chatted about random stuff and I really felt out of place, my mind wandered always back to the words that broke my heart from earlier. I wanted to know how the guy managed to ruin is life.
“Is it okay that we’re going back?” I heard vaguely. “Sam?”
“Yea, sure. Sorry”
We said both bye to Liam and wished him good luck with his dinner and made it back to Harry’s place.
“God, we can’t live here anymore” Harry groaned, his eyes screamed danger and his fists kept shaking next to his body.
“Harry calm down” I placed my palms flat on his chest but he slammed them off.
“I want to go, I don’t want to be reminded of this place ever again. Fuck, I really want to move” I stepped behind, fearing of what he could do to himself. He was out of control and there was nothing I could do to stop him.
