A/N: Thanks infinityyyyyy to my polar bear 1d_is_soul for this fabuLouis cover for FIREFLAKES above. So proud of yaa my baby.
Quesoftheday: If you could change your gender for one who you'd chose and why? XD ;-)
Keeping my bag beside the bed, I go to the bathroom and let my tiredness wiped away by the cold shower water.
Common bathroom, you wanna save water?
His words from the first day of our dorm, makes me laugh during the shower.
Even if I'm not with him physically, I'm with him - mentally. My thoughts are tangled with him when I'm awake and his body is the only comfort zone I crave to entangle myself with when I'm asleep. If I'm being honest here with myself, I know I need him but he would never want to be needed by me. Or else, I'd have thought about taking a chance to play with fire, to play with my life, again.
Wrapping the towel around my wet body, I go outside and wear a comfy pair of shorts and tank top.
I look at Harry's bed and try to imagine him busy with his sketchbook, his eyebrows in a line, talking to me like an astrologer and like a drunk guy at the very next moment. Maybe he's not perfect, but his imperfectness presents him perfectly.
After going to bed, I start to miss him even more, the way he snakes his arm around my waist and my back touches his warm chest whenever we're sleeping.
Neither we act like friends, nor we act like more than friends but we've become so familiar with the unnamed and unexplainable relationship we share.
Imagining the curly hair boy's tattooed hand wrapped around my waist, I try to sleep. I try to feel his breathe hitting the crook of my neck, his soft snores which makes the silence of our room melodious. I get a bit afraid when my eyelids get heavy. What if my nightmares appear when Harry is not here to wake me up? I squeeze my eyes tightly, trying to sleep.

"Look Snow what I've brought for you!" Michael hands me a box full of different flavored lip glosses as he enters into my room. Shoving all the dolls away I am playing with, I run to him and tightly hug him. A disturbing smell crosses my nose and I look at him pushing him away gently from me.
"You drunk Mike?" I ask him sadly.
"Sorry, I won't do it again, promise." He tells pulling his own ears and pouts.
"You promise this every time and then you break it. Why do you drink if dad doesn't like it?" I ask him tiredly.
"Sorry Snow. Give me a last chance huh? It's not so easy to give up." He coos, I nod and smile while taking the box from his hands which he has brought for me.
"Wow Mike! They're so cool! I love you! Have you met dad?" I ask him nervously taking the box from him. It's midnight and he's drunk, dad will be screaming at him tonight too. They'll be breaking things and cursing each other and I'm tired of it.
"Not yet but don't worry, you're sleepy right? When you'll be able to sleep without me little miss Snow White?" He asks rubbing the tip of his cold nose against mine and I giggle.
I tell him about every single thing I've done the whole day and he listens to me like it's the most important news of the day. I always do this. At the end of the day I'm the story teller and he's my only listener.
"I told you not to go near her after you arrive home like a spoilt street dog!" I sit jumping on the bed being shocked as I hear my dad telling those words to Michael gritting his teeth. My heavy breathing becomes more audible during the silence.
"And I've told you not to bark in front of her like a b.....bitch, she was nearly going to sleep." Michael snaps and I hold his wrist being nervous.
It's getting unable for me to see my two most favorite peoole in this world against each other every day. My goosebumps starts to appear as I get nervous predicting the fight between Michael and dad.
"Mind your language Michael! You're going totally out of my control day by day!" Dad yells looking at him.
"Each and every one of us will go out of your hand one day if you don't change yourself, dad! Like my mom did!" Michael shouts.
"Snow, go to bed my child. Dad needs to talk with Mike hmm?" Dad tells looking at me.
"You guys won't talk, you'd q-quarrel, break things and.............." I'm cut off by my teardrops touching my trembling lips.
"Mike will be back in minutes." Mike kisses my forehead and they both walk downstairs closing my bedroom's door.
Teardrops start to drop on my comforter as I hear the same yelling. Opening the door, I run to the tree house and bury myself in a corner closing my eyes. I hide myself here every time I'm sad and none knows that besides of Madison. I know he'll come here to find me after not being able to find me in my room. Life changes with time but I want my life to get stuck inside this greenhouse forever. I can't cope with my daily life anymore.
"I miss you mum. Why did you l-leave me a.......lone here?" I tell closing my eyes, trying to decrease the sound of my weeping which is echoing inside the greenhouse.

I open my eyes and discover myself under the blanket in my dorm room, another nightmare and I'm sweating. I try to sit but fail when I feel something heavy around my waist. I turn my head around and notice Harry filling the room with soft snores lying down beside me. I close my eyes again and let my nervous skin touch the savior warm one. An unknown comfortable shiver runs down my spine when the vanilla scent reaches the inhaling air around me.
"Morning." A raspy heavy whisper brings me out of my silent psychological treatment.
I smile looking at him when he opens his eyes slowly. He looks at me with sleepy eyes and then closes his eyes again.
"Oh, not morning yet. I'm taking the wish back." He pulls me to him frowning. "It's only 8 and we don't have class today my dear friend." He whispers in my hair.
Yeah, friend though.
"But exam............." I'm cut off by a blink sound in my mobile.
Tilting my head on a side I see it's a text from Liam. Wait....Liam! I forgot about him totally!
*Morning's bright
Hope you had a dreamful night
But my morning hasn't started right
Can you start it by saying "Good Morning
I'm here alright?" -Liam. xoxo*
I blush and smile looking at the text before replying.
*You have started the morning
May the day end good for you
Cause I've taken the decision
I'll be going out for a date with you.*
I satisfy myself after making those lines and finally take the decision of moving on with Liam.
"Can you keep your phone silent Snow? It's vibrating the whole bed." Harry frown through his sleepy voice and I sigh looking at him.
"Good night, I'm going to grab something for breakfast." I tell sitting up on the bed.
"Grab something for me too!"He yells while I put on my warm jacket before going out.
Walking out of the room, I go straight to the coffee shop near the dorm. Ordering the breakfast for me and Harry, I stand on a side.
"Hi Snow!" I look at the direction the voice has come through and discover Ashley in her jogging outfits.
"Hi Ash!" I smile shrugging my shoulders.
"Breakfast done already?"
"No, just came here to grab it." I chuckle.
"So you and Zayn are going to the camp?" She asks excitedly.
"Camp?" I ask being confused.
"I think you haven't been notified yet. Okay, I'll send you the pamphlet after I reach my room okay? Please don't say you're not going to come! It'll be fun! Every year we wait for this camp!" She tells.
"I'll let you know later." I smile taking the paper bags full of food from the lady in the counter.
"Okay then, see yaa at the weekend party at my place." She tells and walks away smiling at me.
I walk back to my dorm room and discover Harry still sleeping.
"Harry." I whisper going near him and he moves a little.
"I'm awake." He growls and then sits up on the bed. He jumps off from the bed and wears a t-shirt and sweatpants.
"Do you know anything about the camp after our exam? I didn't know about it but it sounds pretty interesting." I ask after receiving a text from Ashley in my mobile.
It's an annual camp which is arranged by the student's club here. I forward the message to Zayn and Liam and ask if they wanna come or not.
"Yeah, I'm not going I think." He tells and I look at him sadly.
"Why? Please let's go Harry! It'll be fun! They are going to a jungle!" I tell excitedly and my smile fades away watching him smirk.
"So the jungle is the thing which is attracting you?" He wiggles his eyebrows pulling me closer.
"Yeah because mystery lays there." I whisper dramatically leaning my forehead on his.
"Okay, in one condition." He pouts, making me to swallow the lump in my throat.
"You......you'll have to......." He stops and leans closer to me. I look at him nervously and he pins me against the wall.
"I.....I'll have to?"
"You'll have to wear full black dress for one day and I'll bring you that outfit." He pouts which brings his lips closer to mine.
"Okey. Done." I smile widely and he moves away.
Phew! I have a date with Liam and this guy is confusing me with these gestures.
After finishing the breakfast I receive two texts, one is from Zayn and the other one is from Liam. They have written that both of them will be going to the camp. I don't forget to send a text to Ashley that I'll be coming. I complete the registration process for going to the camp and Harry tells me to complete his too. Completing our camp registration, I take out the notes I've made yesterday with Zayn. I get bored after a while and lay down on my bed tiredly. Actually I can't study for long, a bad habit I have since my childhood.
"What are you doing?" I ask looking at Harry who's sitting beside the window.
"Texting mum, she talks too much like you. So I always try to text her instead of answering her calls." He frowns and then makes a face, causing me to laugh.
"I think she holds the opposite character of you right?" I ask resting my face on my hands, making my legs move lazily.
"Totally opposite, even my sister too! I doubt if she's really my sister or not! My mum is a psychiatrist but I think she needs to treat her own daughter! She talks more than my mum! It's the most dangerous disease!" He tells rolling his eyes.
"If anyone is getting a psychotherapy from your mum, then it's you Mr. Mad!" I tell standing up, messing up his hair. "You really need to be treated for your sudden mood swings! Sometimes your mood swings like you're in the second day of your period and you're running out of tampons!" I tell laughing and he looks at me angrily.
"I don't know about me but you really need some special treatment from me now Snowey baby!" He stands up and comes towards me with his moving fingers.
Predicting what he's planning to do, I stand up immediately and then climb up on my bed.
"Harry stop there I'm telling you!" I yell and start to throw pillows at him.
He doesn't stop but his plan of tickling me gets stronger by a grin. Having no other way, I run out of the room and he starts to run after me. Suddenly I bump into someone and look up at the person with a guilty face.
"Snow?" Liam asks looking at me and then Harry confusingly. I see Harry stops beside me, panting for air heavily.
"Oh hi Harry! Good to see you.....two...... together." Liam smiles looking at us, emphasizing the word together.
"Nice to see you too. You seem so busy for the exam." Harry chuckles looking at a Liam handful of books.
"Yeah. Sorry guys I gotta go. Bye Snow." Liam smiles and kisses my cheek before going away.
"What the hell was that? He kissed you?" Harry asks turning me around at him.
"He.....he asked me out for a date yesterday." I tell looking at him, causing his hands to slid down from my shoulders. He looks at me surprisingly and then a tired smile skips from his lips.
"I thought we have become close enough to share big issues like this with each other!" He tells turning around, pacing his steps to our room.
"I thought.............I thought this is not something you'd want to hear." I tell walking fast after him and stop him by his hand. He doesn't say anything but nods. We both walk to our room keeping silence.
