Harry goes around to talk to the angels in the room while I sit on the platform with my legs crossed. Most of the angels look to be my age. Others are slightly older. As I take to observing the angels, someone sits next to me. I look down to my right to see a little girl. She looks up to me and smiles.

"Hi." she giggles.

I smile at her. "Hello."

"I'm Peyton!"

"Samantha."

The little girl and I talk for a while. She tells me she was born into the underground world. Her mother and father were burned at the stake for trying to save their daughter from facing the horrors they faced in the underground. She was adopted by a young couple who barely care about her. They are a sexually driven couple who only care about finding more ways to build their immorrtality.

Her 'mother' came over to us. "Come on Polly, we're leaving."

"Mom!" she cries. "My name is Peyton."

Her mother rolls her eyes. "Whatever. Lets go."

"I want to stay here with Samantha!"

Her mother gunts and grabs her by the hair. "I said lets go."

I jump to my feet. "Thats no way to treat a child!" I raise my voice at her. Her mother turns to face me and holds her palm towards me. A shock wave travels through the air and hits my chest, making me fall to the ground.

"Fuck off, human." Her mother turns back around and drags Peyton with her.

Harry comes over and helps me up. "You okay?"

"Im fine. Is she going to be okay?" My voice frantic.

Harry looks towards Peyton and sighs. "I hope."

We say goodbye to a few people and head out. Harry helps me through the dark and when we reach the hole in the wall, he helps me out. The ride home is in complete and total silence. That is before Harry starts to speak again.

"Im doing this for you."

"What?"

"You are my motivation. Even though I was made up a sinner, you push me to do good. This is all for you."

Speechless. No words could be spoken. No words could be used to answer that. He looked to me when I gave him no answer.

"I love you Samantha."

I grab the collar of his shirt and pull him over the center console. Our lips meet in a heated kiss. I was so into the kiss, I didnt realize that Harry had stopped the car.

When we finally pull apart, both of us are gasping for air. A car behind us beeps and pulls around us. We both smile at each other and laugh.

"I love you too Harry."

His smile grows bigger and he grabs my hand.

Harry turns on the radio as we drive home. When I was Your Man by Bruno Mars came on. Harry belt out the lyrics in an attempt to make me laugh. So far, it was working.

"I want to show you something."

Instead of turning left onto my street, he keeps driving straight. We drive on down Main Street and I look at every shop we pass. A tattoo parlor, pizza shop, dry cleaning service. After a while, the car slows to a stop.

Emirates Stadium.

I turned to Harry, a look of excitment growing on my face.

"I know you've always wanted to see a Yorkshire soccer match and I got tickets to tonight's game." He pulls two tickets out, a smirk growing on his face.

I jump over the center console and sit on his lap, squeezing him tight and showering him with kisses. He starts laughing. "Steady!"

My arms wrap around his neck and his wrap around my back. I rest my head in the crook of his neck. I breathe in the sent of his cologne.

"Thank you." I mumble into his neck. He rubs my back. "Anything for the one I love."

He helps me out of the car and we walk into the stadium. He buys me a jersey and we both split a plate of nachos.

For the first time in a long time, Harry and I were able to act like a real couple. We were able to forget about all the problems and relieve stress. It was one of the best nights of my life.

On the way back home, Harry and I blasted the radio, windows down, as we belt out the lyrics to every song that came on. When we reach my driveway, Harry stops the car and looks to me. We errupt into a fit of laughter.

When we are finally able to control ourselves, Harry opens his car door. He jogs over to my side and helps me out. We walk hand in hand to my front door.

We stand there for a few minutes before Harry grabs my hands again and takes them in his larger ones. "I really do love you, you know that right?"

A smile spreads across my face as I nod my head.

He bends down to kiss me on the cheek.

He gives me one last smile before turning away and walking towards his car.

"Harry wait!" I call after him.

Harry turns himself to face me. I bite my lip and look at my feet. When I look back up to him, he is already standing infront of me.

"Stay."

He thinks about it for a second, then smirks at me. I take that as a yes and drag him into the house.

"Jack? Wheres Bradley?"

Jack sits infront of the tv set playing video games.

"Uh I think he's out with mommy."

"Out where?"

"I dont know."

I run over to the phone and dial Bradley's number. No answer.

Harry goes over to play with Jack. I run up to Bradley's room to see if there is any clue to where he went. His keys, phone, and wallet are gone. I go back downstairs to try his number once more. No answer.

A phone book lies on the table, open to a page. Neiko's Pub and Grill is highlighted. I hurry up and dial their number. A man answers the phone.

"Neiko's Pub and Grill, how may I help you?"

"Um yes, im looking for my mom and my brother. I was thinking they might be there?"

"Names?"

"Bradley and Pattricia."

The line goes silent for a while, then I can hear rustling, signaling someone picked up the phone.

"Samantha?"

A huge weight was lifted off my chest.

"Oh my... Bradley are you okay?"

"Im fine. Ive just been trying to get mom home. She refuses to go."

"I called. Why didn't you answer your cell?"

"Its in the car. Please put Jack to bed. Ill be home as soon as I can. I love you."

"Okay. I love you too."

Silence.

I hang the phone back on the hook and wander into my room. I pull on some sweats and throw off my shirt. I find a tank top and slip it over my head.

Jack and Harry are playing some kind of racing game and they seem into it so I decide not to interupt them. I sit down on the couch, opposite of the two. Jack passes the finish line first and jumps up for a victory dance. I cover my mouth with my hand, keeping my laugh from escaping.

"No sir!" Harry calls. "I was in first! How did you pass me?"

It made me happy to see Harry enjoying himself. Human contact seems to bring out the human in him.

"Samantha?"

The voice startling me. I look up to see Jack calling my name.

"Im tired. Can you take me to bed?"

I smile. "Sure thing bud."

He jumps into my arms and I carry him up to his room. Once inside, he changes into his pjs and crawls under the covers. I carefully pull the blankets around him.

"Sammy?"

"Hmm?"

"Promise you'll never leave me."

"What do you mean?"

"I feel like something is gunna happen. Something bad. Please don't leave me."

I bend down to kiss him on the forehead. "I promise."

As I exit his room, I notice all the lights have been turned off except the lights above the stove, which are always kept on. The only other light on in the house is coming from my room. I push my door open to find Harry laying on my bed, wrapped in the covers.

"I know your awake." I laugh, making him smile.

I go over to the bed and lay down with him. He wraps his arms around my waist as I lay down on his chest.

"What does this mean?" I ask, reffering to the two birds on his chest, tattooed in black ink.

"They're sparrows. They represent my mom and my dad." I hear him sigh.

"You miss them, don't you?"

He nods.

"Samantha can I tell you something?"

"Hm?"

"Thanks for tonight. You made me feel human again. I really appriciate it."

"You're welcome. I had alot of fun too."

The moonlight was peeking in from the open window, lighting up Harry's face. I move my neck up to be level with his and give him a small peck on the cheek.

"I love you Harry. Goodnight."

"Goodnight beautiful."
