Cold Hearted

For Her Heart

Elena POV

I trudged back into the dorm room from being in the library all day, absolutely exhausted. I'm not used to having so many essays to write and so much research to do at once! When I was homeschooled I'd take everything at my own pace, but here everything moves so much faster it's hard to keep up with! All of that AND I've started tutoring Carlos for math since he said he was having trouble and I'm kinda good at it. So all of that put together, and I am utterly exhausted over it!

I at first even ignored Harry who was sitting on his bed as I walked in, even though he nicely greeted me as always. I threw my bag to the floor and fell onto my bed face first and groaned. Bruni crawled over to me and wiggled himself underneath my hand to cool off and to say hello as I looked up,

"Ellie? Ye don't look so good"

Harry said as I eventually sat up and looked at him. I sighed and hung my head a little bit as he stood up and walked over to my bed,

"I'm utterly exhausted"

I sat up and sat on the edge of my bed as Harry joined me, sitting next to me and letting Bruni crawl up onto his arm as if it was nothing. Bruni likes using Harry as a huge jungle gym, it's quite cute to be honest,

"Tutoring Carlos was that hard eh?"

Harry asked I giggled a little and shook my head,

"Not just him, I stayed in the library three extra hours doing my own work, I think my brain is fried"

Harry sighed and put his arms around my shoulders and gently pulled me into his side a little. I gladly rested my head on his shoulder as Bruni hopped from Harry's shoulder onto my head before scuttling back down again which made me giggle a little,

"I'm sorry about that darlin', how about ye go ta sleep a little early tonight eh? Rest yer head a little bit?"

I sighed and groaned a little bit as I closed my eyes,

"I'm brain exhausted, yet I feel wired. You know what I mean?"

Harry hummed with a nod and seemed to think for a few seconds before humming a bit lighter and looking over to me,

"How about ye get comfy on the couch and I go make ya yer favorite tea? Get ya wrapped up in a nice warm blanket and get some warm tea in yer system?"

Oh, that sounds... utterly wonderful. I looked up at him with little bright puppy dog eyes and smiled a little,

"That sounds perfect"

With that, he smiled back down at me and suddenly picked me up off my bedside and stood up which made me squeak a little in surprise. Bruni jumped onto me last minute and clung to me as Harry carried me over to the couch. Luckily I was already wearing comfy clothes because when he put me down he took the fuzzy blanket from the couch and literally wrapped me up in it. He put me down after swaddling me and Bruni curled up in my lap. I hummed a little and already felt a little tired, Harry sat down next to me and picked up the remote to the TV and turned on a nice pleasant baking show which I appreciated plenty.

I tilted my head over and leaned my head on his shoulder again as he watched it with me for a few minutes. I was already feeling tired, the only reason I wanted to stay awake was so I could get my tea at this point. I felt my pocket buzz a little which made me jump slightly before I pulled out my phone. Immediately I groaned a little,

"Hey Elena, I know it's a little late but I was wondering if we could meet up tonight. I'll meet you at the enchanted lake in twenty"

Jay's text read. Harry peered over and read my screen as I simply flopped my phone over to the side,
