Chapter 13- Out of sight out of mind

Harry walks behind me with his hands over my eyes. "Harry? Is this when you kill me?" I joke and he laughs. "Yes but first I must bite a horse to make a vampire horse for you to ride on your way up to heaven." he jokes but everything about it was wrong.

"Vampires go to heaven now?" I ask giggling. "Well... you get it." he says and suddenly picks me up by the waist and I feel the elevation.

"Harry what are you doing?" I giggle. "Its obviously a secret." he says and I laugh.

He stops me and takes his hands off my eyes. "Look now." he says and I open my eyes and gasp. "Oh my gosh... Harry, what are we doing here?" I ask slinning slowly around to look. He smiles with his hands in his pockets.

"This is where we're gonna live." he smiles and I raise an eyebrow and go blank. "Huh?" I ask and he laughs and holds the keys in front of my face. "Its ours." he says and I blink.

He laughs. "C'mon. Go look around." he says and I turn around and walk with him.

It was empty but our voices echoed through the stairs surrounding the open, wooden floored livingroom with a chandleier above.

He walks me upstairs and walks me around. Well, if we get in a fight, I have an option of 5 rooms to sleep in...

"Harry this insane." I admit and he smiles. "Then its perfect for you at least." he smiles.

I laugh and shut up when he kisses my cheek.

"We can start moving in when ever but I was thinking um.. you'd perfer to get some things you didn't grab at your house." he says.

I shrug but it made me depressed about thinking of going in that house. Management is selling it... jerks.

"We can do that tomorrow." he smiles and bends down. It still left a trace of fear when he kisses me. Inches away from death... it just tantalizes me.

His cold hands were under the rim of my shirt giving me chills.

I'm used to warmth!

He presses his mouth to mine and rocks his head up. I feel him smile when he adjusts his arms in a hugging position around my mid back.

"And Lou can't pick on us no more." he mutters still in contact. His lips were still to mine.

We both laugh under our breath.

"I can't believe you bought this." I comment as I look around before making eye contact.

He smiles. "Well it won't be so awkward for us no more and more room." he says smiling.

We stop by our house, meaning Niall's the next day. I stare empty minded at it when he parks in the driveway.

I don't think I'm strong enough for this yet...

"You gonna be alright?" he asks and I shake it off and look down. "Yes..."

I get out and slowly walk up the porch to the front door. When I open the door, his scent about made me die inside.

I didn't show any emotion around Harry. It smelled of his scent as strong as ever. Well it was faint but strong to me.

"Ill go get my clothes out of the room." I inform and he nods and lets me leave.

I walk in his room and burst into tears as I pick up his sweatshirt. I lay down on my side with his sweatshirt in my face. I hold in my weaping so Harry wouldn't hear so I pinch my eyes shut and let the tears fall on his sweatshirt.

He should be here... in his bed... waking me up every morning and greeting me happily and eating all the food...

He promised me of his life and protection and left for some stupid trip.

Harry walks in and sighs. "You can't hide it around me Alice. I told you I can feel it." he says sitting on the edge of the bed.

I look at him. His eyes were a mix of blue and gold.

"Can I stay here for a few days?" I ask and he hesitates before giving me a nod. "If you wish." he says.

He bends down and kisses my forehead before gently rubbing ny cheek. "Will you be alright alone?" he asks and I nod. "You wont run?" he asks. "No..." I say and he slightly smiles and presses his lips to my mouth before he leaves.

I walk around the hallways slowly as I think of all the times we spent together in this house.

It was cold because of the electric was off. So no water, but I didn't mind.

I somewhat felt his presence being here. In a way it made me mope but be happy.

I fall asleep in his bed with his sweat shirt in my arms and cry myself to sleep.

Niall wraps his arms around me from behind and pecks my neck. "Missed you." he says and I link my fingers with his hands. His warmth sent tingles of electric throughout my body.

I wake up at midnight crying and call Harry.

"Are you okay?" he asks without a hello.

"Yeah," I say. Now I just feel plain pathetic. "I don't want to sleep alone..." I say and I hear him slightly laugh under his breath. "Be over in a heartbeat." he says and we hang up.

Its not more than 5 minutes later when I see Harry climb through the window.

"The door was unlocked. You knew that right?" I slightly smile.

He shrugs. He lays on his side next to me and rubs my cheek. "Never did I think you'd call me in the middle of the night because you were lonely." he says. "I know... I'm weak." I sigh.

He lays his head down on the pillow and still looks at me. "You're not weak..." he says.

"Weaker than you." I reply and he smiles. "Then I guess Strong has some truth to it."  he says.

I think about the lyrics and look back at him. "I make you strong?" I ask and he nods with a smile.

I laugh under my breath and look at him. "What?" he asks and I shake my head. "How can I make you stronger when I break down more than I can count?" I ask and he sits up on one arm.

"Because I wanna fix you. I don't care how freaking corny it is. It's the truth." he says firmly.

"Then you must have the patience of a saint..." I mutter and lay back down.

He sighs and wraps both arms around me. He was freezing but the duvet was warm.

I wish I could just live in here. I knew he didn't want to stay here but he kept his mouth shut.

The next day, I take my last looks inside the house as I carry a bag around my shoulder. Nialls family was suppose to go through and decide what to do with everything.

I look at Harry as I look at the blank driveway. "Where's the car?" I ask and he grins. "I ran." he says.

"So how we gonna get home?" I ask and he grabs my bag and puts over his shoulder. "Get on." he grins.

"Harry-"

"Oh shut up and ride me." he says and I start laughing. He just had to put it like that... xD

I end up jumping on his back anyway and he grabs my legs. "Hold on tight." he giggles and I grip his shirt but he ends up adjusting my arms completely around his neck and then takes off.

He stops in front of the house and then sighs to himself. "Shit..." he curses.

"What?" I ask. "Louis has the keys and the car." he says and I stare at him blankly. "Well get his butt over here!" I say and he laughs and pulls out his phone.

I watch the fog smoke out of my nose as I breath. It amused me but then 10... 20.... 30.... minutes go by and I glance at Harry sitting on the step. He was struggling with the temperature. "Here Harry." I say and sit closer to him. "No Alice, I'll freeze you over." he says and pushes my hands away.

I grab his arm and yank him to his feet somehow. He stares at me blankly. "Non-sense." I say and unbutton his coat. He looks at me confused as I unzip my jacket but then picks up on my idea as I hug inside his coat.

His hands sent icy chills up my spine. It was like being suffocated by an icecube.

I lay my cheek on his chest and make myself comfortable.

He rests his cheek on my head and sighs after kissing my forehead.

He then stands quietly before laughing under his breath. "I can hear your pulse from here." he mumbles and I pick my head up and look at him.

"Really?" I ask and he nods. He places a hand on my neck and waits a minute before slightly smiling.

I pick up his hand and link our fingers to distract him because I knew what he was thinking. I remember what it felt like. To be close to someone and know you have no pulse.... its a horrible feeling.

He looks me in the eye and rests his head on mine. I was trying so hard to stay warm for his sake but he made it difficult.

Louis pulls in the driveway and we take a step back. Harry runs up to the car and steels the key before hurrying to get the door open. Louis walks up to the porch and looks at me. "What's up with him?" he asks and I shrug.

Harry falls down on the couch. He must of moved stuff in while he wasn't with me.  "Thank the Lord!" he mutters face down.

Louis rubs my upper arm to warm me and I send him a friendly smile.

"Well here's the keys. I'll run home." Louis says and we thank him.

After he leaves and I walk by to take ny coat off Harry catches my arm and yanks me next to him.

I giggle as he squeezes me tight in his chest and laughs. "Stay here for about... a year please." he says and I laugh.

"You'll thaw out in a minute." I assure and try to escape but he pulls me closer and I squeal. "Harry!"

"No!" he protests and I accidently roll off the couch... pulling him with me. He lands next to me on the floor as we both laugh.

"Fine then. I'm turning the oven on!" he announces and dashes to the kitchen.

I laugh and sit on the couch but he flips over the back of the couch.

Somehow it was just so ungraceful that he slides right onto the floor.

"Ouch!" he rubs his butt and I laugh with my face in the cushion until I nearly have tears in my eyes.

Next thing I know he manages to pull my leg underneath him and I look up at his slight smirk with an eyebrow up as he hovers over me.

"What are you laughing at? That hurt." he says seriously... or trying to anyways.

I laugh some more but he does something unexpected.

He pulls his legs up on the couch and fully hovers over me but he lets his belt rest on me.

His eyes made me tense up and swallow. "Um..." I say under my breath.

"Its so frustrating not being able to read your mind anymore..." he says in a peculiar velvet tone.

His eyes flicker down to my lips before he lets his brush against mine. "Tell me what you're thinking..." he says as he lowers his mouth to my neck and lets his lips touch my neck.

"That you're trying to mess with my head..." I say under my breath and he giggles against my neck and shifts his body so our chests were together and his arms were underneath me.

"Sort of..." he says. What does he mean? I know he's messing with me.

"Then what are you- No... I know you're trick. What else would you try to do?" I say and don't realize how stupid that sounded until after it comes out. Mental punch in the face!

He bites the collar of my shirt and moves it out if the way as he gently kisses my collarbone. I swallow again and think of the possibilities for his response.

"Try to scare you and make you want me..." he smirks as he pulls his head up and looks at me.

"Well... its not working!" I say and try to get out of his grip but he smirks and puts more weight on me to immobilize me. Jerk...

I notice a small bolt of red in his irises and actually do get scared.

"Because I'm not done." he says and presses his lips to mine. He parts my lips and rocks his head up. His squeeze on me lets loose as he pulls one arm out from underneath me and grabs the arm of the couch.

As he lets out a slight moan I hear a rip above my head where his hand was.

Um... no comment.

After a moment he leaves his face an inch above mine and sighs. "Does anything work on you?" he asks loosing all trace of his mood and raising an eyebrow.

I look at him as he puts both hands on the sides of the cushion to support himself.

I shrug in confusion of what to say in response. "Dang you're tough..." he mutters and sits up. I perk up and sit in front of him. "What was that? The mean old Styles calling the Diamond tough? Am I hearing correctly?" I say and nudge him.

"What are you talking about? I could easily take you anytime." he says and I laugh.

"Now?" I ask. "Huh?" he asks as I give him no reaction time.

I flip him off the couch and stand up as I prepare my victory walk leaving him on the floor.

As I walk away he grabs my leg and slams me on my back and pins me down. "You're not leaving just quite..." he grins.

"Never fight with an Alpha. You should know this." I say and he laughs. "Oh okay. You... an Alpha now? Female?" he says and I smirk.

"Well I'm dominent of the females!" I say and he laughs.

I push him over with my hips and straddle waist. He grabs my legs on the sides and looks up at me. "Dominent? No. Attractive and driving me insane? Hell yeah." he says and I laugh. "Uh... thanks?" I ask.

He smirks. "That's a bad thing right now." he says rolling me over and kissing my neck.

I laugh but he looks down at me. "I'm sorry but please tell me what you like in a guy?" he asks.

I think. What's something he can't turn into a dirty joke?

"Singing." I say and he raises an eyebrow and looks away before smirking.

He lowers his head to my neck. "My mother told me I should go and get some therapy..." he dramatically moans.

Is there anything that he can't turn dirty?

He looks at me smirking. "Harry no..." I warn. "I whispered something in her ear that I just can't repeat..." he sings even more moanified and I stare at him trying not to bite my lip.

He smiles. "There's the reaction I want." he grins. "I'm not reacting..." I lie and swallow. "You're also not admitting it." he says and sits up.

He gets up and walks away. "Wait! You can't just walk away!" I order. "Why? Its not like it was working right?" he stops and leans in the doorway.

I let my head fall in my hands as I groan and fall on my back. "Ugh!"

I hate him...
