"Please.." He whispered. "I'm sorry." I could hear the hurt in his voice. His head was down. I lifted his head up.

"It's okay." I whispered.

-

"Come on." I whispered. Suprisingly, he didn't argue with me. He got into the passenger's seat as I shut the door behind him. I walked around the car, opening the driver's door. I slid in the seat, starting the engine. I looked over at Harry, finding out that he was looking at me with his head back against the seat.

"Briella." He said, his voice slightly cracking. I made a silent "shh".

"Just rest, Harry." I whispered as I pulled out of the parking lot.

"But I can't." He said.

"Yes, you can." I said.

"Yes, I can. I choose not too." He said. I snapped my head in his direction, giving him an annoyed look.

"Don't start with me." I warned him.

"Pay attention to the road, Briella." He said. I groaned. I never imagined Harry would act this way. I'm still surprised. Shocked, actually. He didn't think twice before he aggresively pushed me away. I fear that this would happen again. Is this something he does often? Is this the way he usually acts when he drinks? Why does he have to drink so much? Doesn't he understand this can nearly kill him? I looked over to see Harry. Asleep. He just completely passed out. Just. Like. That. I decided I was going to drop Harry off home and make sure he makes it safely in bed.

"Harry. Wake up." I said, lightly shrugging Harry's shoulder back and forth. His eyes fluttered open. He groaned lightly as he stretched his arms.

"What time is it?" He asked. "Where are we?"

"It's two am. And we're at your place." I said. He looked forward to see his apartment.

"Oh." Was all he said.

I didn't say anything back and just got out of the car. Instead of waiting for me to open his door, he opened it for himself. He lightly stumbled as he tried to get out of the seat.

"Whoa, easy there." I said, grabbing his arm. "Come on." I said, leading him carefully step by step up his apartment building.

I lead Harry to his bedroom. He took off his shoes and his pants, remaining in nothing but his shirt and his boxers.

"Come on." I said, leading him to the bed. I carefully helped him lay down as he dug himself deep into the white sheets. I sat down beside him, as he looked at me.

"Are you feeling good?" I asked, quietly.

"I'm okay. Thank you." He said.

I nodded my head.

"Okay, well, you should get some rest. I'll get going." I said, standing up.

Suddenly, Harry gets up and grabs my arm. I immediately turn around.

"What, Harry?" I asked.

"Stay." He said.

I let out a deep sigh.

"Harry.." I said.

"Please.. Stay." He whispered quietly. I looked at Harry, just sitting there. I stood there quiet for a while, debating whether or not I should stay.

"Please." He whispered, once again.

I let out a loud sigh.

"Okay. I'll stay." I said. I took off my shoes and threw them on the ground. I looked at myself up and down. I knew that if I slept in this dress, it would be uncomfortable. I looked at Harry. He probably must've known I would've been uncomfortable because he gave me one of his shirts that I could wear.

I went into the restroom as I took off my dress and replaced it with Harry's dark blue shirt. Before I returned to Harry, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. I looked completely wrecked. This night had been so unexplainable so far. There had been some good parts, but yet there had been some bad. I stopped thinking and headed back to Harry's room. I looked at Harry, laying there looking at me as well. I leaned against the door frame with my arms crossed.

"Your just so beautiful." he said. There it was. The somersaults and butterflies that occurred in my stomach all at once. I smiled and looked down. I walked over to the light switch and turned off the light, leading myself to Harry's large bed. I buried myself into his sheets, making myself comfortable. Eventually, I felt Harry's large arms wrapped around my small body. I felt warm with his arms wrapped around me. I felt safe.

Little do I know it, I fell asleep. Once again, dreaming of Harry.
