If You Let Me In [H.S]

Chapter twelve

 Alex and Sierra-Bumper cars

-Harry-

I ran my fingers through my hair, flipping it to the side.

"Skyler are you ready to go eat?" I call from my room, grabbing my keys

No answer was heard

"Skye?" I call again.

I walk down the hall to her door. 

I slowly opened it, peering inside

"Skyler?" 

The room was empty

I turned around, about to exit the room, when something caught my eye.

I took a couple steps backwards, stopping at the dresser. 

I picked up An old picture of Skyler and Jason laid flat on the wooden piece of furniture 

An old picture of happy Skyler.

I quickly discarded the frame back onto the dresser as I heard a door opening.

"Harry, you in here?"

I exited her bedroom, walking to the living room where her voice was emanating from.

Her back was turned as she changed her shoes

"Yeah" I said, making her head turn.

Her hand was braced on the wall, allowing her to balance as she slides her flats on

"I'm ready" she replied, standing up right

"Alrighty then" I smiled, leading her to my car

***

We entered the quaint cafe, located only a few blocks away from my home.

The smell of apple pie danced by our noses as we took our seats

I peeked over my menu, seeing Skylers eyes scanning the choices

"Alot to choose from, hm?"

 she nodded, now using her finger to help with her selection

Her ponytail swayed as she looked back and forth

"Hi, my name is Maddie. I'll be your server today" The young girl smiled, preparing her notepad and pen "Can I start you with some drinks?"

"I'll have water" Skye interjected

"Me too"

"Are you ready to order as well?"

I set my menu down and Skyler closed hers, which I assumed meant she was ready too

"I'll have the bacon  burger on wheat toast and the steamed vegetables on the side"  I handed my menu to the waitress 

"And what about you" she shifted her gaze to Skyler

"I want the chicken fingers with honey mustard"

"And for the side?" She asks, scribbling quickly on her notepad

"I'll have Steamed vegetables as well"

"Alright. Your food will be out shortly"

The teenager grabbed our menus and hurried back to the kitchen

"I like this place" Skyler said, folding her arms on the table

"Have you never been here before?" I inquire, resting my cheek in the palm of my hand
