Harry’s POV

‘’Emmy, babe, the bath’s ready.’’ I say as I come into the bedroom. My eyes wonder over to the bed where I see her sitting with her legs crossed, staring at a picture frame in her hand.

I go over to her and sit down on the edge beside her, leaning on her a little to get closer. ‘’Is this your mom?’’ She mumbles gently. I stare down at the picture.



‘’Yeah. And that’s Gemma, my sister.’’ I tell her, pointing to her on the photo. ‘’You look just like your mom, you both do.’’ Emmy says under her breath. ‘’I know, I get that a lot actually.’’ I say.

‘’Will I.. will I ever get to meet them?’’ Emmy asks me curiously as she runs her finger tips over the decorative frame. ‘’Yeah. You want to?’’ I ask her, surprised that she wanted to.

‘’Sort of. Yeah. I just.. I just want to meet the woman that raised you.. she done a good job Harry.’’ She tells me. ‘’Why.. why do you think that?” I ask, furrowing my eyebrows as I stare at my mother in the picture.

‘’Because.. you’re.. caring.. and loving. You’re always there when I need you, and you, you understand.. everything.’’ She says softly. ‘’It’s because I love you, you know, that’s the reason.’’ I assure her, gently kissing her jawline a few times.

For a few more moments, we sit in completely silence, my lips gently brushing over her soft skin. Her breathing was becoming more normal than it was in the car a few hours ago.

We came straight in as soon as we got here. She came up to the bedroom and just lied down, I suggested a relaxing bath and she surely wanted and needed that relaxation.

“The bath’s ready?’’ She asks, moving to the other side of the bed and getting off of it.

It made me wonder if she didn’t want the affection right now, I was just trying to give her a few kisses, that’s all. Just to make her feel better.

I don’t want to seem like a whore for this, but we haven’t had sex in a week or two. Let me rephrase that, we’ve went through the whole process but every time we got to the part of me about to slide the condom on, she stops me and says she doesn’t feel good.

Honestly I have no damn clue what I done, or if I even done anything at all.

---

It had been about fifteen to twenty minutes since Emmy got into the bath. She asked if she could be alone for a few minutes, and of course I respected that request. My eyes were burning a hole through the bathroom door, waiting to see if she’d come tell me she’s ready for me to be with her like she promised she would.


But it seems as if she won’t.


For a second I thought my ears were messing with me because I swore I heard the shower cut on. I stood from the edge of the bed and made my way over to the bathroom door.

‘’Harry, you told her you wouldn’t go in without her telling you to.’’ I mumble to myself.

‘’Well sometimes you have to go against the rules.’’ I reply with an eye roll as I turn the knob and allow myself to go in.

Just as I thought... The bathtub was empty and the glass shower was steamed up and Emmy was barely able to be seen, but I knew she was there.

‘’Emmy?” I say as I go over to the shower once I shut the bathroom door. I hear her gasp loudly from the other side of the glass.

‘’Baby.. are you okay?’’ I ask as I lean closer to the glass to hear her better, the water’s loud. “Harry.’’ She says simply. ‘’Yeah babe?’’ I ask her, praying to God that she’s okay and that she isn’t mad at me for doing this.

‘’Can you.. can you get in with me?’’ she asks me. ‘’Of course baby.’’ I say. She slides the door open and covers her chest with her arms as she watches me. ‘’Don’t cover yourself Em, you’re beautiful.’’ I remind her as I pull my shirt over my head.

She doesn’t reply with the usual self-hating comments she has for herself, so that might, just might, be a good sign.

“No.. you’re beautiful.’’ She says as she watches me hard. I smirk lightly, she loves to do that for some reason, I guess it makes her happy, it soothes her. That’s a good thing. I try to keep her happy, and it’s working most of the time.


Mostly.


I unbuckle my belt and undo my jeans, thanking myself for taking my boots off earlier, less time to waste undressing myself. Once my jeans hit the floor and my boxers where on their way down there to, Emmy was basically biting her lip and practically drooling as she stared at me.

‘’You don’t have to stare baby, I’m not going anywhere.’’ I say as I step into the warm, perfect temperature, water. ‘’I just like it.’’ She says with a light smile as she puts her arms around me, her warm skin against mine.

‘’Well, if you like.. then keep it up, it’s sexy anyways.’’ I mumble back as I run my fingers through her long wet hair. She giggles against my chest, that was sexy too.

‘’Hey baby, can I ask you something?’’ I ask with a sigh as I stare at the water pouring from the shower head. ‘’I guess.’’ She replies.

‘’Alright then.. um.. why haven’t.. you been wanting to.. to have sex? I mean, we make it most of the way.. but then you stop me. Is there something I’m doing wrong? What is it?’’ I ask her, releasing all these questions that boil inside my mind all the time.

‘’I.. it’s not you Harry, no, you’re amazing and perfect. It’s just that.. lately my.. my.. depression has been.. bad. I skipped one day’s worth of medicine and since then.. I’ve been having periods of.. just.. sadness and loneliness. I just didn’t want it at the time.’’ She admits to me with a clearing of her throat.

‘’Baby, I understand. But you can’t skip a day, you know that. You can seriously get yourself sick if you do that again baby. I’m worried about you now, I just want you to be okay.. to be happy. You tell me if there’s anything wrong next time okay? I’m always here for you if you just want to talk.’’ I assure with a kiss on the lips, just a simple little gesture.

‘’Okay. Thank you.’’ She smiles gently. ‘’Anything for you, I love you Emmy.’’ I tell her, brushing my lips against hers.

‘’I love you too, Harry, now kiss me already.’’ She giggles against my lips. ‘’My pleasure baby girl, my pleasure.’’
