"I- I'd rather not talk about her right now" He said, frowning.

I nodded. It was my turn to comfort him.

"Well, I better get going" I said, starting to stand up.

"Okay" Harry said. "I won't force you to stay this time."

He smiled at me.

I hugged him tightly before he intertwined our hands and walked me to the front door.

"Bye everyone!" I yelled through the house.

I received a bunch of goodbyes back, before Louis came running to the door.

"Bye Courtney!!" He said, squeezing me again. "Come back and visit soon!"

I laughed as he let go. "Definitely."

Louis smiled at me as Harry walked me to his car.

I slipped into the passenger seat, waving goodbye to Louis.

Harry began to drive, a serious expression on his face.

Probably because of Jana, I was guessing.

I scowled a the memories of her.

"You alright?" Harry asked, his emerald eyes boring straight into mine.

I nodded. He must have picked up on my change of expression.

"It's just that... Well, why won't you tell me about Jana?" I asked.

Harry shook his head.

"I can't tell you. I just... can't" He replied weakly.

"Please" I begged. I was on the curve of curiosity at the moment.

He shook his head again.

"Maybe some other time."

I sighed, reluctantly nodding anyway.

"Where's your house again?" Harry asked, trying to lighten up the mood a bit.

"Turn left at the next round-about, then drive straight."

I had explained my address to him this morning, but he must have forgotten.

He nodded, again.

We finally arrived at my driveway, Harry stopping the car gently.

"Well, here we are" He said.

"Home sweet home" I joked in a monotone.

He laughed.

"Well, I guess this is goodbye then" I said.

"No way!" Harry shouted.

I nearly jumped.

"What?"

"You're coming over tomorrow" He told me proudly. "You better be there; Nine am sharp!"

I laughed.

"Ten please" I said. "I won't be able to get ready in time with this hair."

"Sure thing, Miss Topaz" Harry laughed. "But you're hair is amazing as it is!"

I laughed again. I guess it just came naturally whenever I was around Harry.

"Thank you. Well, bye then, Harry."

"Bye Courtney".

He leaned in closer, kissing me on the cheek.

I blushed and got out of the car.

Waiting by the front door, I waved goodbye as Harry's silver Audi backed out of my driveway.

After beeping the horn at me twice, he was gone.
