Broken Memories ||Harry Osborn||

Asleep But Not Alone

Harry continuously rubbed Ruth's back, doing all that he could to sooth her pain. He whispered 'I'm sorry' non-stop, hoping that would make things better. He tried to believe that it would, but deep down he knew that it wouldn't. Nothing he could do would make her not mad at him. That anger would always be there. That's what he convinced himself of.

Suddenly Harry noticed Ruth's soft crying stopped, replaced by slow breaths that indicated she was asleep. He sighed lightly, a small smile splaying on his lips. He gently moved his body away from hers, placing her securely against the seat. He fished enough money to buy three meals out of his wallet and threw it on the table. Looking back at Ruth, he grabbed his jacket and put it over her body. He then delicately put his arm under her neck and behind her knees, carrying her bridal style. Her head leaned into his chest, mouth slightly open. He smiled to himself as he made his way towards her apartment.

By the time Harry had arrived at the apartment it was pretty late. Ruth was still sound asleep;from time to time she mumbled something in her sleep. Harry found that the door was unlocked; he assumed they had forgotten to lock it from before. He quietly shut the door with his foot and turned the lock on the door just in case.

After locating Ruth's bedroom, Harry layed his old best friend in a sleeping-beauty-like position. He stared at her for a moment, taking in her true beauty and cursing at himself soon after. He pulled his phone out to text Peter that Ruth was safe at home and that he was leaving when he heard a slight murmer coming from the bed. He looked up slowly, ears perking to see it he heard what he had.

Ruth was still soundly asleep, little snores escaping her. He squinted his eyes a bit before turning back to finish the message to Peter. The slight sound of his name entered his ears just as he was about to hit the send button.

Harry frowned, putting his phone securely in his back pocket. He walked over to the edge of the bed, kneeling next to the girl that lay asleep. He tucked some hair that was over her face behind her ear, knowing it would not wake her up. For a moment he held his breath, thinking to himself how stupid he was acting, when he heard it again.

"Harry." it came out as if it was her just breathing;so faint that even he could barely decipher it. But Harry knew what he heard, and he took that opportunity to try to communitcate with her. Even if she was asleep.

"Ruth," He said a little above a whisper. His eyes searched her face for a sign, any type of sign. After a little while her face started to frown, as if something was harming her. She took a sharp breath, making Harry put an arm on her shoulder. Her face relaxed a bit, but the look of fear didn't leave. He tugged his phone out of his pocket and stood up. He deleted the draft to Peter and replaced it with a new one.

Staying over the apartment. See you later -- Harry

Harry didn't wait for a reply; he pushed his phone back into it's pocket and made his way to the other side of the bed. He cautiously got on, making sure the weight wouldn't be too much. He layed on his back and stared at the ceiling, which was covered in glow-in-the-dark stars. He smiled to himself, remembering the same ones from when they were kids.

"Harry," Ruth whispered again, sounding a little more frantic this time. Without thinking, Harry turned over towards Ruth and wrapped an arm around her. He felt her body relax, and he suddenly felt a drowsiness overcome him.

"It's okay," he whispered lightly in her ear. "I'm right here."

And then he fell asleep.

WHOOP. Okay, so I'm not sure if I like this chapter. I was thinking about having Ruth arrive at the whole Electro scene, but then I decided maybe her and Harry needed some 'alone time' (even though she was asleep...). So yeah! Since I wrote this on Saturday (but I published on Sunday) I'm going to work on what she was dreaming about and her waking up :o!! That's basically it but I feel like I should say more!! oh, yeah! Since I have school Monday (obviously) I probably won't publish anything untill the weekend. SORRY LOVELIES!!! :( ANYWAYS. I have 60 reads!!!! YOOOOOOOO!!! SO YEAH. THANKS YO =D
