Millie's POV:
I tried to hide myself behind Harrys back as he opened the door slowly. My heart was going crazy and I held my breath.
“Hellooo?” a familiar voice said and I jumped from Harrys back towards the door.
“Ruby?” I asked in disbelief. “What are you doing here?”
“Hi Millie” she said, her eyes constantly skipping between me and Harry.
“Uhm Hi, this is Harry” I said while looking at Harry “Harry this is my best friend Ruby”
“Hi Ruby” Harry said with a small smile and I knew my face was red while I tried to breath constantly.
“Well” Ruby began “I just wanted to stop by and tell you that I'm gonna make a Party at my house this Saturday and I really want you to come.” Ruby shifted awkwardly on her legs and I never saw her that way before.
“You can come too” she said into Harrys direction.
Harry nodded as I looked at him while I thought about what to answer.
“We'll be coming” Harry suddenly answered and I looked at him in disbelief.
We will be coming, he didn't even know Ruby neither did he know any of my friends and he... who said I was going with him on that Party. Who said I was even going to a party.
“I'll call you tomorrow” I answered quickly as I saw Ruby confused look.
“Okay” she answered “ By the way that was laying on the stairs before I came here” she handed me a white envelope.
“Thanks Ruby” I smiled at her and she turned around.
“See you around Millie” she said “Good bye Harry” the look she gave him confused me. It almost seemed like she knew him.
“Bye Ruby” I said before I closed the door and looked at Harry. He smirked down at me before he locked the door again.
“Soo it was no monster, right?” he said almost as if he wanted to change the subject.
“No I guess not” I answered him, putting the white envelope on the kitchen table.
I still felt a bit dizzy and flashbacks from what happened a few minutes before the door bell rang went through my mind. I walked over to the small commode in the living room and looked into the mirror. My hair was messy and my cheeks were flushed. Now I knew why Ruby was looking at me that way. Thats strange way.
“Why didn't you tell me that I looked like that?” I asked Harry as he came closer.
“I don't know” He answered, shrugging his shoulders.
He stepped closer putting his arms around my body. His well toned body against my back. He looked at me through the mirror and I had to admit we didn't look that strange together. He chuckled before he placed a soft kiss on my shoulder.
“I think you should go to bed before I'm can't hold myself” he said and I held my breath.
I looked at him with big eyes, did he really just say that.
“You heard me Millie” He said against my skin “ You make me go crazy” he continued and I quickly turned around, putting my hand over his mouth.
“Enough” I said and stepped out of his embrace to go upstairs.
I heard him chuckling as I walked away. I didn't know what it was but there was something I liked about him talking to me that way but at the same time I didn't like him being that straight forward. I didn't even know him that well and I bet it was only the alcohol in our blood which.. I gulp as I thought about him touching me before. I never experienced such an electric feeling all over my body but the fear was bigger than the lust and I wasn't ready to trust him. He had too many secrets, he wasn't the person who I could trust.
–
As I woke up the next day I tried to step out of the bed without waking Harry. I stopped and turned around before I left the room and gazed at his body laying there. He looked like an angel when he was sleeping, his mouth was slightly open and his breath was steady while soft snores left his lips.
I smiled as I went down into the kitchen.
As I sat down on the table with my daily cornflakes I saw the envelope again. I slowly opened it just to see that there was a letter in it. I began to read the letter and my heart began to beat faster.
-Don't trust him -
I turned the letter and looked for more words but there was nothing more. My mouth went dry as I read over the word over and over again. Don't trust him. That was definite. But who would send me something like that. I heard footsteps behind me and I quickly put the letter away.
“Your phone was ringing constantly” he said, his voice thick of sleep as he handed me the phone.
I grabbed the phone and looked through the missed calls. 2x Ruby, 3x Dad and 1x Caitlin. As always. I locked my phone and put it beside me, I really wasn't in the mood to call any of them now. That letter really confused me.
“Aren't you going to school?” Harry asked me and I shook my head.
“No I don't have an exam today” I answered him and he smiled.
“Good Morning by the way”
“Morning” I mumbled.
I stood up and grabbed the letter and my phone before leaving the room to go outside. I didn't care about his confused look and I didn't turn around as he called my name. I was confused and I didn't know what to believe.
I sat down on the chair and read through the letter again and again. I got mixed feeling while reading it. On the one hand I wanted to laugh and act like it didn't matter but on the other hand it really made me think about Harry. I didn't know him that well and whoever wrote that letter, probably knew something about him that I didn't. Well that wasn't a surprise I barely knew anything about him. I never even thought he would just stay with me all the time. I wondered what Ruby must have thought when she saw us yesterday.
I grabbed my phone and called her back. She answered after the first ring and I was surprised about the sound of her voice.
“Millie” she sighed relieved.
“Yes?” I asked her. “What's wrong? “
“Nothing, are you okay?” Rubys voice sounded like it would break any moment.
“Yes Ruby what's going on?” I asked her again.
“Nothing, really I just wanted to check on you. Are you in for the Party tomorrow?” She tried to change the subject and I hated her for always doing that.
“Yes I'm coming” I answered quickly “Ruby tell me what's going on please? I'm getting worried”
“Its okay Millie, really as long as you're okay everything is perfect. Are you happy?”
I suddenly knew about what she was talking. Harry. She thought he was my boyfriend.
“Ruby, Harry and I aren't together, I hope you know that okay?” I told her.
“You're not? But it seemed like that. Is he nice to you?” the sound of her voice told me that she knew something I didn't.
“Yes he is nice to me, now tell me what the hell is going on?” I became inpatient.
“Just be careful okay, promise me. I love you Millie” she hang up and I stared at the phone.
“I love you too” I whispered.
My eyes suddenly began to fill with tears. I hated it always being the one who didn't know what was going on. I wanted her to tell me what she knew. Maybe she knew something important and all that together with the letter. I didn't know what to think I put the letter into the pocket of my jeans and wanted to stand up as I saw Harry standing behind me.
I wiped the tears away and looked into his face. The look on his face told me that he heard my conversation with Ruby. His eyes suddenly seemed angry and wild and he tried to breath steady. I looked away as he came closer and grabbed my arm. Stronger than I was used to him, touching me.
“Who was that?” he asked me and his eyes looked furious.
“My friend” I shrieked trying to look away from his piercing eyes.
“What did he say?” He asked me his voice getting louder whenever he spoke.
“She” I said weak and tried to get out of his grip.
“What did she say?” he repeated.
“Nothing, we just spoke about the Party on Saturday” I answered.
“Don't lie to me, Amelia” He almost yelled at me and I flinched back.
“You hurt me” I whispered as he still didn't lose his grip around my hand.
“Answer my question” he grabbed me tighter and I winced at his touch.
Tears were streaming down my cheeks and I wanted to run away as he suddenly loosened his grip and released my hands.
“What did she say?” he said and I could hear he was trying to calm himself down but his voice was still loud.
“Nothing important really” I whispered and tried to step around him to get into the house again.
“What did the letter say?” He asked me as I wanted to open the door.
I froze at his words and turned around. He was still standing on the same spot than before. I could see his chest rising and the way his hands were formed to fist told me that he was really trying to calm down.
“Millie” he took a deep breath “What did the letter say?” he slowly turned around before taking another deep breath.
His eyes were still dark and looked furious, the way his lips were pressed together made me feel scared. He rubbed his hands against each other before forming a fist again. Still looking at me with his upset look.
“Answer my god damn question Millie” he repeated his voice back to yelling.
I suddenly turned around and ran back into the house locking the door behind me and pushing the curtains before the big glass door. I ran up to my room and locked the door too. I sat down on the bed, tears streaming down my face as I realised my whole body was shaking. I didn't know why I reacted that way but it seemed like my only way to get away from him. I could hear him knocking on the doors and I sighed relieved as he stopped after a few minutes. I laid back on the bed trying to relax, reading the letter over and over again. I didn't know what to think and what to do. Ruby was acting so weird and why did Harry get so angry over the fact that I talked with Ruby. Again the thought about him knowing Ruby came across my mind and I wondered if she maybe knew him too.
I wanted to stand up as I suddenly heard a loud bang downstairs. My heart stopped and I opened my eyes in fear..
