Merry Christmas!!! It's 540am and I'm just now laying down from wrapping gifts... So here is my gift to you !
I sat in my room the whole time since I'd been back home.
Mom continued to go to work, as well as Dad, not that my not talking to them would stop them. But while they were home they would pop in to see how I was. It reminded me of how they did me right after my uncle passed. Daniel was in and out as always so I still hardly saw him, and under Dad's request I didn't tell him why I originally left, I gave a crappy story of how Dad didn't trust Harry and I left to go stay with Charlotte because of that.
Harry snuck into my room every night when everyone was asleep. Sometimes he would come in just to check on me, or simply just to lay with me as I watched corny Christmas movies that was starting to play nonstop. With watching that for a straight week after I got home from watching the boys practice and or my practice with the elements with Harry, I got in to the Christmas spirit to start decorating.
So after I bundled up from the cold I began pulling everything out of the garage. Just as I was bringing out the last box of lights warmth covered me as I looked up to the door to see Harry leaning against the frame. Looking up from his phone, his hair was tucked under a beanie, as he wore a thick trench coat.
"Hey there handsome." I smiled.
Smiling he stands straight as he moves, tucking his phone in his pocket, taking the box from me.
"Hello gorgeous." He smiles as he leans and kisses me. Looking down at the box he says, "So are we running away together or?"
"Decorating for Christmas." I laughed, "You want to run away together."
"Pebbles, lets not even touch that subject."
"You don't want to touch it? Yet you brought it up."
"Well I do want to touch something." He says.
Smacking him on his arm I say, "Harry!"
He laughs as he says, "Cookies! I want to touch your cookies. They smell freshly baked."
I raised a brow as I say, "Good save. There in the kitchen, help yourself."
He winks as he walks to the door that was already open as he pushes open wider before walking inside. Sitting the box down by the kitchen he walks inside as he picks up 3 cookies.
"So I take it that we are decorating today, and not practicing?"
"You don't have to, but I feel like it."
Taking off his trench coat as he eats the cookies he says, "Where do we start?"
First we started with the lights and decorations inside, then we moved outside and did the front of the house and the trees. By the time we were finish the sun had set and we were ready to see our finish project.
"Ready?" Harry asked as he held up the remote that turned on everything.
"Do it." I exclaimed excited.
Hitting the button he smiles as the lights all flicker one. One by one the dark skies brighten up. Wrapping an arm around me, Harry and I take in the scene as we smile.
"We did good Pebbles." he says.
"No," I wrapped my arms around his waist, "We did great."
Pulling me to him, I shiver slightly before his warmth runs through me.
"Let's head inside, yeah?"
I nod as I begin to lead the way.
Walking inside Harry looked over to the corner of the living room, "No tree?"
"Not yet. Dad usually takes us all to pick it up."
"Really?"
I nod, "Don't you help pick out yours?"
He shakes his head, "Never really gave a damn about it."
"Well Christmas happens to be one of my favorite holidays, so if you don't mind, I would love to take you to get a tree for your house."
"You want to take me to get a tree for my flat?" he asked surprised.
"Yes."
He looks at me up and down for a moment and says, "Pebbles, you're sweet."
The look on his face was genuine. He looked surprise, and shocked, but happy all in one.
"But, how about I take you tree shopping."
I smile, "Sounds like a plan."
He shakes his head as he takes off his beanie. Running a hand through his messy curls he says, "Have you talked to your parents yet?"
I shook my head, "No."
"Have you tried?"
"No."
"Pebbles," he starts as he stops and looks up at the door.
"Harry?"
"Go upstairs." He says simply.
My body froze as a sound of an engine turning off outside caught my attention, "Is it-?"
A knock came upon the front door as I Harry says, "Upstairs."
"But I can,"
"Pebbles, go."
Turning I ran up the stairs as I closed my bedroom door, locking it. It made no sense because one could simply knock it down, but heck I thought it was doing something.
Sitting on the floor, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I had remembered Harry saying once that he could hear my thoughts, and I wondered if I could hear his.
I sat there for a minute, relaxing my breathing. I thought of how he taught me how to turn on and off aura's and I wondered if I could use that the same way.
A few minutes passed, and everything was still quiet. I couldn't go into Harry's head like he could mine, maybe it was just an alpha wolf thing. Standing I began to pace back in forth. I did that for a couple of minutes before I said,
"Screw it." Unlocking my door I went to open it as I could feel Harry thoughts connecting to mine.
Pebbles, he says in a warning tone, Stay there or I will come tie you to your bed.
Groaning I rolled my eyes.
Remind me to take you to an eyes doctor next week.
But you didn't even, I groan.
Pebbles I know you by now. I'm fine, just stay up there please.
I nodded, Fine. As I moved and sat back on my bed.
Harry talking to whoever was downstairs took damn there an hour. He would randomly let me know that he was fine, but after about 30 minutes, my head began to spin and by actually paying attention I knew I was being pulled into a vision.
At first my thoughts were a mess and all jumbled, but then images of Harry as a child began flooding to my head. They were like movie clips. Clips of him running through a forest. Playing with wolf puppies. Running around being a kid and much more. It was sporadic, but peaceful.
Harry smell covered me as I turned, wrapping my eyes around his neck.
"Harry?" I mumbled against his shoulder.
"Shhhs, everything is fine." As he lays me on the bed as chuckles came from him as he says, "For someone who gets a ruff 8 hours of sleep, you sure do sleep a lot."
I smiled as he instantly laid behind me. Wrapping his arm around my waist nuzzles his head into my hair.
He had a point, I never slept this much, not even naps.
"Who was downstairs?" I asked, as I could hardly keep my eyes open.
"A couple of friends of Nick's." he says in a hushed voice.
"Do I know them?"
He shakes his head.
"Can I meet them?"
"One day." He says strumming his thumb along my stomach causing it to do flips, "Having you meet hunters, isn't on my to do list right now."
"Hunters?" I say as I turn to face him.
"Winchesters." He says, "There good people. All for the cause. Hunting things, saving people 'The family business'. They're dicks, but their legit."
I look at him as worry filled me.
"Pebbles." he says as he lifts his hand caressing my cheek.
My eyes flutter close as all my worry seems to melt away.
"Hmmm?" I hummed.
"I need you to do something for me."
"What?"
"I need you to talk to your parents."
I looked at him, "Why?"
"Because, I think that they might have the answers that you need."
"Harry," I say, "I don't know if I'm ready for the answers that they have."
Kissing me, his lips at first brushed against mine teasingly, but then his mouth opens as his tongue runs along my bottom lip. I gasp against his lips as he smiles. Moving his hand to my lower back, he pulls me to him more as breaks the kiss.
With me breathing hard just from his kiss, he moves his mouth next to my ear as he says heavily, "I'll be there, maybe not physically, but I won't be far. You won't be in it alone."
I nod as I close my eyes and lean against him.
"I'll do it." I say as I take a deep breath breathing him in. Even though I was nervous about the talk that was going to have to happen, much sooner than later, my mind was in a haze just from having Harry laying here, kissing me and holding me to him.
He turns my head into mush, and it made me fall for him even more then I already was.
"Go to sleep." He whispers, "Its getting late."
Before I could even open my mouth to respond he says, "Yes, I'll stay until your parents get here."
I smiled, "Thank you."
Kissing below my ear he whispers, "You're more than welcome Pebbles."
