Darkness Meets Light

Chapter 26

"Okay mom!" I yelled back, getting off the couch and walking towards the stairs.

"Woah, where are you going?" Harry asked frantically, sitting up from his laying position.

"To visit my dad?" I replied.

"Am I invited?" he asked with a smile.

"Well you bailed on me yesterday...." I said sadly.

"Jess you know I didn't mean to." He said, mad that I would say something like that.

"Fine, you may come IF you behave." I said jokingly.

"I can try." he replied. I'm not sure how sarcastic that was.

---------------------------------

As Harry and I rode up the elevator alone, I noticed he seemed on edge.

"What's wrong?" I asked, grabbing his hand and intertwining our fingers.

"Nothing, why?" he asked, giving my small hand a squeeze.

"oh, nothing." I said, playing it off.

It was silent just before the doors opened, leading us to my dad's floor.

"So, do you think he could hear us, you know, when we visited him?" Harry asked.

"Yeah....he says he could." I replied confused on why he would ask that.

He looked ahead and replied with nothing but "Good."

-------------------------------------

Harry's POV

Ever since I saw my dad yesterday, my nerves had been racked. I can't think straight. The feeling of needing to drink or something keeps over coming me. When I drink, I have an excuse to let out my anger. It's like an addiction to me.

The only one who's keeping me from doing something stupid is Jessamine.

Everything about her is so perfect, her laugh, her smile, her eyes and mostly her personality.

She's the only one I've ever met who actually takes care of me.

And I'd do anything to take care of her. That's why I asked if her dad could hear me, the day we visited him.

Gladly, he could.

That means he knows I'm here to protect Jessamine, because after all, she is mine now.

And I'd risk anything for her.

We walked up to Jess' Dad's room and the first thing she did was run and hug him. I just stood there awkwardly, he doesn't seem to like me much anyway.

Once they separated, he looked at me. "Hello, Harry." he said, putting out his hand. I shook hands with him and looked at Jessamine, who was smiling.

"Hello Mr. Taylor. How're you feeling?" I asked.

"Better, can't wait to get out of here. I already spend too much time here at work." He said, earning a chuckled from both of us.

"So what are you two up too?" he asked.

"Well I offered to come with Jess, maybe even take her to eat after this, if you don't mind." I said, trying to act innocent. HA.

He sat there and thought for a second. "I guess so. You better be careful with her, or you're dead.' he said smiling.

"Of course, sir. She's safe with me." I replied.

After conversating with Jess and her father, we decided to leave, since her dad was half asleep now because of the medication.

We tried slipping out to door without waking him, but it failed.

Just before I shut the door I heard, "Harry?"

I peeked in the room to make eye contact with Mr. Taylor.

"Yes sir?"

"Thank you." He stated.
