Just If You Dare.

Chapter 23

  ENJOY XXX.

 “Well I hope you like Chinese” he said heading to the living room and I followed him.

I gulped my saliva as it seemed like I am leaking from hunger and followed him to the leaving room. “I do” he turned facing me with a questioning face “the Chinese” I said pointing to the food he placed on the table in front of the television which was OFF.

You can imagine how a person like me after all what I have been through these past days would feel or act. I didn’t want to talk. There was always this feeling of a big hard rock in my throat. I needed to cry, though after the scream I gave out and the whole thing, but there was still something I want to just cry.

It was never enough for me to cry and scream for once and my only excuse was because I am strong and I am a survivor I always find a way to survive I deserve happiness but it never comes. I didn’t want to talk but Harry’s presence meant it was essential for me to make any conversation, I was tired and it looked so  conspicuous over me. The dark circles around my eyes made it look so visual.

He opened the packs and took out the food there was two plates that had chicken stripes with Chinese sauce and other two small boxes that had some macaroni. I was so hungry but I couldn’t believe that I was this hungry. I guess I didn’t even think of food or I was too depressed to eat.

“You look really hungry” said Harry chuckling at the way I almost ate half of the chicken plate at once while he was eating too.

I gulped the food full in my mouth awkwardly saying “I guess I didn’t notice how hungry I was”.

He nodded his head doesn’t seem to care much “Do you want me to open the television for you?” I said trying to break the ice silence that was between us for moments.

“Sure” he said and I took the remote control from the table in front of us and that’s what I did. I kept swinging through the channels until I found The vampire diaries “Do you like it?” I said asking him whether to leave it or not, he nodded his head not seeming to care.

After we both finished food he turned to face me “ Are you feeling better now?” it seemed like this was a beginning of a conversation “Yes?” I said with my eyebrows coming together in confusion “Good” was his reply he took a long breath breaking the eye contact “What is it?” I asked before he could even speak “Listen Carrie”

“I have to go” he said packing his things without even saying anything.

“Wait what?”

“Its getting late and you need to rest”

“No wait”, I said while he was already having his shoes on “ I don’t want to seem sass but …….don’t leave me alone please….., just tonight” I would die in my skin if I was left alone here after all this. The sadness will just over take me and I would really want to end up my misery “Um, okay” he said awkwardly “I will stay with you and make sure you are in deep sleep but then I have to go I have important stuff to do but I will be back early morning to, um see Selena” he said nodding his head.

“Okay thanks.. a lot”

We stayed their awkwardly for like a minute “So are you going to sleep or what?” he finally spoke out.

“Okay you can sleep on the couch in my room upstairs” he nodded in approval.

“But I need to make a call first and then I will head you upstairs”

“Okay it’s the second room left” he nodded with a smile that faded too quickly “Good night” he said where I was already on the stairs.

When I was already at the top of the stairs almost reaching my room “Good night” was my reply too.
