I drove Harry home after school, since he didn't have his car. Just like the last time, he looked at me. Well, stared, at me. I didn't bother to ask, just tried my hardest not to smile. He suddenly started to search through the glove compartment.

“What are you doing?” I asked, and crossed my fingers that I wasn't having anything embarrassing in there.

“Just looking through you music,” he said as he kept looking around. I looked back on the road, letting him do whatever he wanted,

“Here we have it!” I looked at him and saw that he was holding my Ed Sheeran album. Harry opened it and put the cd in the stereo. I smiled. It was exactly what I needed after this day. I don't think I've ever gotten that much attention in school before. At lunch, it felt like someone was looking at us all the time, first from the right then from the left and then from the right again. It became kind of awkward when I met Jennifer's eyes, which looked kind of sad and lonely, and didn't really know what to do. I just looked back at Harry quickly and started to feel extremely guilty.

My memories were interrupted by a beautiful voice that sang. To my surprise, it wasn't Ed's voice. It was Harry's. He started to sing along and it sounded, well, amazing. I had no idea that he could sing like that. He didn't sang out loud, but it was loud enough for me to hear it. I looked at him, surprised. He met my eyes and stopped immediately.

“What?” he asked, and couldn't hide a smile.

“You know what! You're great!” He didn't answer me, just looked forward at the road, without singing anymore. That's too bad, because I wanted to hear his voice again.

We pulled up outside his house. The car ride had been more quiet than usual. Ed was the only one that said, well sang, anything. I looked at him, he smiled back at me before stroking my cheek.

“Thanks for the ride,” he said.

“No problemo,” I said with a smile. He leaned in and kissed me on the mouth.

“Do you want to come in? Nobody's home,” he asked. I thought about it for a few seconds. I had nothing to do anyway, and I didn't want to be alone nowadays.

“Sure.”

“I have to pick up the twins soon, want to join me?” Harry asked as he kicked off his shoes.

“Okay,” I said and took my shoes of as well. He walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge.

“Do you want anything,” he asked and kept investigate the fridge.

“No thanks, I'm good.” My phone buzzed in my back pocket. A text. Harry turned around and looked at me, probably checking my reaction. To see if I acted weird or anything. I know I should probably tell him about everything, but I just couldn't. I didn't know how he would react. I wanted to believe that he would comfort me and help me, I'm pretty sure that's what he'd do. But I couldn't help but fear the fact that he could find me extremely weird and crazy and leave me for good. But, I'm not the one that's weird and crazy, it's the man that texts me. I'm not crazy, right? I took my phone up and tried to look as calm as possible. It was my dad, so it wasn't that hard. Harry noticed that and turned back to the fridge again and grabbed some apple juice and poured it in a glass. I really appreciated that he looked out for me, though. Apparently, dad was on his way to London, to visit grandma. Since I promised him to live with me, that's what he planned. He also told me that he'd remember the mattress. I actually became a bit nervous, it's been quite some time since I saw him. But still, he was my father, I had nothing to worry about. I hope.

We sat in Harry's car. It was always fun, since it was so much bigger and better than my car. We drove to the school where the twins went. I don't think I've ever been to those parts of London, so it made the car ride even more fun.

“Let's see what music you have,” I said and did the same as Harry had done in my car. I found a few cd's with Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, The Rolling Stones and...

“Cascada?” I asked with a grin. He looked at me, and quickly looked back at the road when he saw what I held in my hand. The album with the cute, blond woman seemed to be pretty old though.

“So? She has a very powerful voice,” he said, still looking forward. I couldn't help it, but I bursted out laughing.

“What!?” Harry asked and laughed a bit himself as he looked at me.

“Nothing. I just, I'd never, ever guess that you listen to this kind of music,” I said and putted the album back, to Harry's relief.

“What's wrong with that kind of music? Everytime we touch is a very catchy song,” he said as he held up his index finger, looking like he was telling a fact. I just kept laughing.

“You're so cute!”

“I know,” he said with a proud smile.

We arrived to a small school. Children in Simon and Sophie's age ran around everywhere, and Harry had to make sure that he wasn't hitting anyone with the car. It was no doubt that the school was finished for the day. I saw the twins stand on the pavement, not bothering to run around with all the other kids. They stood close to each other with their matching back packs and waited for us, well, for Harry. They didn't know that I was there too. Harry drove a bit closer to them and stopped just a few steps away. They saw me, and their faces started to light up immediately. They always became happy when they saw me, and that was such an amazing feeling. They literally ran towards the big car and opened the doors to the backseats and climbed in right before I knew it.

“Hi Amber!” they shouted together. I've always wondered how they manage to say my name at the exact same time. It was impressive.

“Hi! Everything alright?” I asked and looked over my shoulder so I could see them better. They both nodded.

“Hello! I'm here too you know!” Harry said and lightly waved his hands. And as everything else, the twins even started to laugh at the same time.

“Sorry! Hi Harry,” Simon said and patted Harry's shoulder. Sophie didn't say anything, just kept looking at me. I smiled at her. She was a very pretty girl, just like her brothers, but she was a bit shy some times.

“Are you and Harry together?” she asked. I could feel how my cheeks got red. I gave Harry a quick look, but he concentrated on making his way out of there instead, so I had to answer that question myself. It felt so unreal to say, but I told her the truth of course.

“Yes. Yes, we are,” I said and couldn't help but smile very, very wide. Sophie did the same with her small mouth and actually clapped her hands.

“Yay! We'll be like sisters!” I gave her another smile. I looked back at the road and gently grabbed Harry's hand, intertwining our fingers. He looked at me with a smile, showing my favorite dimples.

Just to ruin the moment in the car with Harry and the twins, my phone started to buzz. Another text. I was actually pretty sure that it was my father, making sure when he's going to arrive. I still held Harry's hand when I fished up the phone from the pocket. My blood froze. My body froze. My normal reaction when I receive a text from HIM.

- Already got two beautiful children? Almost as beautiful as their mother.

I didn't realize how hard I was holding Harry's hand until he started to stroke it with his thumb, just to make sure that I was okay. I tried to loosen my grip, but I was so scared that I couldn't. Was the man stalking me now? Following me everyday? Every step I take? I decided that it would be best to look out the window, and not meeting the twins or Harry's eyes. I was pretty sure that I would start to cry if I did. Thoughts were spinning around in my head.

He knows about them Amber. The twins, and Harry. Maybe he knows about Elizabeth too. Maybe he knows about everything! Whatever you do, don't let him get to you, but most important- don't let him get the twins or anyone in their precious family!
