I told him what had happened to dad and how long he had to fight the cancer that will not let my dad go. I told him what I've been doing the past years and I told him about Jessica which he became mad about. I told him about Sky and where I live, I told him all the things he missed. I also told him the biggest secret dad has kept from us was that he was a millionaire owning a multi billion dollar luxury hotel in the world.
When I told him that he choked on his drink loudly making me laugh.
Mostly he was sad about all the things I've been through and had to do it alone.
Harry then told me that the reason his uncle got him was of the benefit money from the government. He never cared about him he even tried to runaway and fly back to us but his uncle found out and he pulled a stop to his plan. He started being good, started staying in only studying to become a doctor which he is now one of the youngest doctor. He told me so many stories I wish I was there.
He made me laugh and also sad at the same time that I missed growing up with him.
"So do you love him?" He asked chewing his bread smirking at me teasingly.
I think about it for awhile but the smile on my face already answered his question making him grin.
"Yeah I do." I answered knowing that I've already fallen for him a long time ago.
"Awwww" He squeal trying to act girly and happy for me. "That is just so adorable" He pouts pretending to cry.
I rolled my eyes at his goofiness forgetting how he is. The memories I have with him is always a happy one. The first time I watched a scary movies was with him, he pretended he wasn't scared so I played a prank on him reenacting one of the intense scenes of the exorcist.
"But seriously though I need to meet this guy and I need to point out the strict rules I have for him." He gave me his serious face cutting out the grin and mischievous glint in his eyes. "I need to have a few words with him man to man."
"Don't scare him away" I smiled teasingly.
I remember in the playground he was sitting by the bench while I was swinging on the swing set when a big bully came and pushed me. Of course I cried when I fell on the bark feeling my palms scraped. The bully was about my age and Harry is few years older but that didn't stop him from storming up to us pushing him on the ground looming over him threateningly.
"If you ever touch her again I will break every bone in your body" He spoke darkly causing the little boy to run crying.
You would think that is morbid for a kid to speak like that to a child but Harry has always been different from all the other kids.
Harry has always been dark and mature for his age and that quality about him is something I admire. He never played with other kids his age but talked to older ones that cause him trouble. He would come back to our house telling us stories of his little adventure today. My dad always warned him but never told him off because we saw the happiness in his eyes and he couldn't take that away from him.
He was always a curious little boy.
We left the cafe and now stood infront of dad's grave beside my mom's. Both of us set flowers on each grave, both of us sat infront of them. A different mood shifts between us weighing us down. A different turn of events from the little cafe with us laughing and sharing memories with us now standing in a graveyard.
"I was going to tell you all my adventures Tim," Harry shook his head staring at the tombstone "I told you I was coming back home wasn't I?" He whispered his voice cracking full of emotions.
Tears sprung my eyes hearing him talk to dad like this, seeing tears in his eyes that he blinks away.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry" He then broke down crying.
My throat tightened seeing him like this I sat wrapped my arms around him placing my head on his shoulder. I feel his whole body shake, feeling him finally mourning for the person that loved him when he thought nobody else could. The man that accepted him when his mom abandoned him erasing the loneliness. The man that taught him courage and told him not to be afraid when he declined and rejected and affection from another a person. The man that held him with so much love telling him this will always be his home.
In the box full of my dad's things I found a letter for Harry.
I wrapped my hand around it and place it on his hand making him look up blinking away from his pain knowing even if he visit here everyday. Crying or sitting here telling him about his day Harry will never find closure. My dad knew that so he wrote this, dad always knew what we needed.
Slowly he ripped the envelop sniffing loudly and wiping his tears on the back of his palm to see properly.
He read it silently with tears running down his cheeks, he his own letter that settles this aching pain for him. He read it taking his time trying not to miss any word, trying to understand his words and accept it. He lifts his eyes towards me and smiled softly tears still ran down his cheeks but I knew looking in his eyes he's going to be more then okay.
I knew what dad would've said. He would've told him he went looking for him, he even called his uncle asking about him. Dad would have said he is proud of him and his adventures and regardless of not being able to see it and hear it from him he just knows that anything Harry puts his mind to will be more then anything he wishes for him.
I pull him to a tight hug feeling his tears staining my shirt. All the tears we cried, we never let go of each other walking back home with his arm slung over my shoulder just like when we were kids.
~~//~~//~~//~~
In the distance I see Kyle and Bonnie talking intensely with Bonnie's hand gestures and Kyle's grim look made me stop mid action on putting my things away. My eyebrows came together seeing Kyle reach for Bonnie as she walks away preventing her from moving. I felt the need to pull up a chair and watch the whole scene in interest.
"What are you doing?!" A loud teasing voice creep right up my ear causing me to jump in fright dropping all my books.
My heart jump out of my chest like I've been caught spying which technically I was. Looking over my shoulder seeing Sky with a mischievous grin and a different reason for my heart to race stood behind me. In surprised he lifts me up wrapping his arms around my thighs causing me to laughed in surprised.
"I missed you" He hug me tightly I lean down and place a kiss on his lips.
He sighed at my touch making me grin loving that I have an affect on him the way he does for me. He pulls back grinning up at me.
"You're very happy today" I smiled wrapping my arms as he set me down not allowing a distance between us.
"I'm always happy." He wrapped his arms around me.
"Wear something pretty tonight" I smirk my eyes lingering on his shirt.
"Why?"
He reach and tuck my hair on my ears tracing my jaw with his thumb and forefinger my smile never leaving my face. I lean and place a kiss on his cheeks, my lips lingering longer dragging across towards his ear making his hold on me tightened.
"Because I'm going to take you some where you've never been before" I whispered back his words that he gave me when he took me to that abandoned car shop.
I pulled back seeing his face softened remembering those words he said to me.
He push my hair back away from my face staring at him deeply believing that he's the only person that will every make me feel this way. The way he makes my world spin so fast with excitement but yet he settles my world even better. The way he had my heart beating so fast with every touch, that had me breathless. The way he had me smiling wiping away my tears making all the hurt fade away as he stare at me.
He leans down and place his soft lips on mine pressing small kisses on mine.
"I can't wait" He mumble against my lips pulling me even closer.
