The Love Countdown
ten;
I think it's safe to say that the date I'm having with Harry is by far the best date I've ever been on.
Even if I've only been on two dates.
"Harry please, it's not that scary" I pleaded, Harry stared straight up at the ginormous ride in front of us. It was called 'The Buzz Saw' and honestly I was kind of scared as well.
'C'mon harry, I'll hold you hand just like I did the other three times" I giggled as he glared at me.
"I'm nineteen, I'm the one that should be holding your hand for support, not the other way round" He huffed and followed his arms, followed by my cracking into a smile and leading him towards the ride.
I heard him sigh in defeat, a small smile playing on his lips as he tried to hide his face away from me.
As we made our way to the end of the line, the loud screams coming from the Buzz Saw weren't calming Harry's nerves.

"Harry, are you sure you're okay?"
He mumbled something incoherently and moved his head up and down. I blatantly stared at the way his adams apple bobbed up and down as he swallowed, the rush of adrenaline hit through me as I though what it would be like to kiss his neck. Woah there Lib. Calm your hormones.
As we sat strapped securely into the cart, it ever so slowly started to move, going up the tall slope which was heading towards the upside down part.
"Shit, shit , shit , Liberty I don't want to go on this let me off!" Harry screeched as we reached the top, holding onto my hand once again and almost bursting the veins inside my hand.
"Harry it's okay" I tried to comfort him, but he wasn't having any of it.
'No! Let me off letmeoffletmeoffletmeoffletmeoffletmeoffletmeoff!" He screamed at the top of his lungs. I felt so bad, making him probably almost shit himself. again.
I looked over at Harry, my eyes almost bulging out of their sockets at that he was so scared he was sweating. Like full on sweating. He looked as if he was about to cry and hyperventilate, sweet Jesus, why won't the ride hurry up and end!
As we went up once again, the ride abruptly halted and moved back down and into the room where our stuff was. As Harry unlatched the seatbelt, I held his hand the whole time, helping him out of the cart and over to where our hats, phones and sunglasses were held, "I swear to god Liberty if you ever make me go on that thing ever again I will grow wings and fly away"
"Aw c'mon it wasn't that bad!" I grinned.
"Wasn't that bad!?! I could've died!"
"You're cute when you're angry" I pinched his cheeks between my fingers and he pulled out of my grip, folding his arms as we walked into the Gold Rush part of Dreamworld.
I gasped in excitement and and pulled Harry by the shirt and over to the ride I wanted to go on, he groaned loudly and lifted his head up to the sky.
"Liberty if this is another stupid ride to get me to shit myself I'm going to kill you"
I battered my eyelashes at him and something in his eyes darkened. His usual bright, vibrant green eyes were now a deep, dark shade of green. I parted my lips, looking down as he licked his lips before giving me his famous smirk.
"What's this ride called?" Harry said as we waited in line.
"The Giant Drop" I smirked at him this time, watching his face drop and the colour drain away.
"I'm hate you so much" I laughed.
****
After finishing off all the thriller rides, Harry and I decided to sit down and watch the tigers. We walked through the section of Dreamworld which held all the animals, snakes, turtles, tigers, everything animal you could imagine, they had it. We had stopped at a souvenir shop and bought each other another stuffed toy.
This time, Harry got a lion while I got a white Tiger.
"You know, I've had the best time today" Harry said after taking a gulp of his water.
The sun was going down, creating a purple tint in the sky, people had started to leave, making the chatter and screams die down. I looked at my phone, seeing that the time was just after 4:30 and Dreamworld shut at five.
"I've had such an amazing time, thanks for taking me today, Harry" I smiled at him as we walked out of the exit gates and over to the car, I yawned unattractively and blushed as Harry chuckled, getting into the car and turning the ignition and driving out of the car park. Turning my head and silently saying goodbye to Dreamworld. Childish, I know.
****
We had been driving for an hour and my eyes were starting droop, the only thing keeping me awake was the bright lights of cars whizzing past, Harry looked just as tired as me, I leant my head against the cool glass window and closed my eyes, engulfing myself in complete darkness.

Harry's POV
Once we had arrived back to Liberty's apartment, she was sound asleep. Smiling over at the small girl beside me, I examined her a little better. There was a strand of hair over her face and had the sudden urge to swipe it from her face, my hands had a mind of their own as I reached over and moved the small strand of hair from her face and behind her ear. Holding my breath as she stirred lightly before going back to her original position.
Quietly opening the drivers side door and slipping out, I made my way in front of the car before gently tugging the passenger side door open, unlocking Liberty's seatbelt. Slipping my arm underneath the backs of her legs and hooking one arm around the middle of her back.
I kicked the door shut with my shoulder, locking the car before entering the lobby of the apartment building.
I smiled at the front desk ladies who had grins sketched onto their faces. Liberty snuggled deeper into my body before relaxing, turning sideways and clicking the elevator button and waiting for the doors to open. Once they did, I placed myself and Liberty into the cart before pressing another button and hearing the elevator ding, tapping my foot to the stupid elevator music before stepping out of the elevator and making my way towards he apartment.
I silently cursed myself as I remembered Liberty held her key in the pocket of her jeans. So I slowly manoeuvred her body so her legs we wrapped around my waist, with her head resting on my shoulder. I yanked out the house keys before turning the lock on the door and opening it.
I moved her hands to rest on my neck head cradled in my shoulder and her legs wrapped tightly around my waist.
I stepped into her bedroom and laid her on the mattress. Should I just leave her like this? I couldn't. I moved into the bathroom and searched for her Pyjamas. I had found some shorts and a singlet and decided that it would do.
I walked back into her bedroom before standing in front of her, closing my eyes and re-opening them. You can do this Harry.
Tugging her shirt off from her body and replacing it with the singlet. She moved a little bit and I paused my actions. Squeezing my eyes closed as I pulled down her jeans, peeking through my eyelashes in order to find her shorts. Looking down at her feet so I knew where to put the shorts.
I scrunched my eyebrows up in confusion as small, faded lines came into view on the inner parts of her thighs. I skimmed my fingers over the small scars and she shivered, goosebumps erupting under my touch and I wondered how she had slept the whole thing.
How could I have not noticed them? Was she still going through depression? If so, she was doing a good job of hiding the fact that she was.
I had learnt from past experiences with other people that depression isn't always so easy to point out. Some of the most happiest people on earth could being having dark thoughts and you wouldn't even know.
Pulling back the bed covers, I gently placed her into the covers. Watching as she snuggled into the sheets and getting comfortable, I didn't want to leave her, for some reason I felt protective over her.
I stripped down to my boxers and headed over to the right side of the bed. enveloping her into my arms and pulling her back against my chest, resting my heading in the crook of her neck, and whispering, "Goodnight."
Even if I've only been on two dates.
"Harry please, it's not that scary" I pleaded, Harry stared straight up at the ginormous ride in front of us. It was called 'The Buzz Saw' and honestly I was kind of scared as well.

Notes
HEEEEYYY so I'm so sorry this is so short, I'm having writers block and it's killing me :(I also wanted to know what you guys think of this story? I haven't been getting a lot of feedback and it makes me feel as if you guys don't like this story anymore :(
ANNDDD For people who wanted to know what Dreamworld is, it is a themepark in Queensland and it is the BEST.
The Buzzsaw is a ride that goes up to 105 Kilometres per hour ( or miles ) and is exactly 46 metres tall:
The Giant Drop is the tallest ride in the southern hemisphere and I can't remember how tall it is but I'm pretty sure it's like 200 metres or something idk :
