"But I'm only human. And I bleed when I fall down. I'm only human. And I crash and I break down. Your words in my head, knives in my heart. You build me up and then I fall apart, 'Cause I'm only human." - Human Christina Perri

*Alaska's POV*

"Will you hurry your ass up already?" Harry snapped, standing by the black SUV, his sunglasses strategically placed on top of his head.

He was wearing tight black skinny jeans, black t-shirt and dark brown pointed leather shoes topped off with a black coat. It was a bit chilly today, which is why he gave me one of his hoodies to wear. I wore it along with the same black shorts I had on the day we meat. I still didn't have clothes, but luckily we were on our way to go get them.

"I'm coming!" I snapped as I jogged to the same SUV I was kidnapped in.

"Took you long enough." He mumbled as he got in the driver's side of the car. I also got in and glared at him as I shut the door behind me.

"You know, you don't have to be such an ass all the time right?" I spat, looking out the window. He chuckled. "Just shut up and pick some music would ya'?" He said, throwing his phone on my lap.

His phone still didn't have a lock on so it was easy for me to go to his playlist.

My heart skipped a beat as I observed the kind of music he was into.

Ed Sheeran

My Chemical romance

Linken Park

I scrolled through his albums finding similar bands. Almost the exact same albums I had on my phone. Guess we do have something in common.

I finally found a song to my liking and plugged in the aux cable connected to the radio. I entered the Linkin Park album and played: Numb.

I put his phone down on the dash and leaned back as he started the car and drove through the woods until we finally reached the highway.

----------------

It took longer to get back to the city as it did for us to drive to the house in the woods. Guess Harry wasn't such an angry driver as Liam. Or maybe it was because we didn't have police cars chasing after us at 200 miles per hour.

Harry was surprisingly a very safe driver. And to my pain, an agonisingly slow one at that. He nearly shoved me out of the car just because he had to ask twice if my seatbelt was on. I laughed inwardly at the irony of it all. A ruthless killing gang member driving slower then my grandma on a Sunday after church.

Regardless of his slow driving we eventually made our way to town in 2 and a half hours. Harry asked for my address as soon as we reached the big board on the side of the road that said: 'WELCOME TO SHADY SPRING POPULATION: 5430'

I had to admit that I was nervous. I mean I was about to introduce my soul mate to my mom and lie about everything.

"Do you remember everything we talked about?" I asked him nervously as we rounded the corner into my street.

Your OLD street. My brain scolded.

Harry sighed and rolled his eyes. "We've been over this a hundred times, Alaska." He groaned. "Fine okay, okay. I just want to make sure... you know?" I didn't exactly know what to say. I didn't want to offend him.

Sure he wasn't really what my mom envisioned for me with his lip-ring, eyebrow piercing and a bunch of tattoos. But he was still my mate. And for some fucked up reason the universe decided that me and him where perfect for each other.

Finally, we reached my old house and Harry pulled into the driveway.

I could feel the sweat dripping off my forehead. "Hay, calm down. It'll be fine alright? Just stick to what we discussed." Harry said, placing a comforting hand on my thigh. I found the gesture oddly calming and wished he didn't remove it.

But I soon cut my thoughts off when I imagined him slowly sliding his hand upwards. I felt my breathing quicken and my pulse becoming erratic. Oh, the things he does to me.

We got out of the car and to my surprise he took my hand in his and laced out finger together. My eyes shot up to him in surprise. I didn't mind though. His touch brought me a sense of comfort. He seemed to notice my surprise, because he looked away from me and said: "We have to look like a loving couple remember?" He spat.

I frowned and let my eyes drift away from him as we made our way to the front door.

Harry reached out and knocked loudly.

"Coming!" I heard my mom's distant, but happy voice sound through the door.

I straightened myself up and put a big smile on my face.

The door opened revealing my mom, dressed in her nurse uniform. I wondered slightly if she still had to work 2 jobs seeing as she didn't have to pay for me for anything anymore.

"Oh my baby!" She said, pulling me into a bone crushing hug. I laughed and hugged her back with as much force as she did. "I missed you so much honey!" She said. I nodded and inhaled her scent. She smelled like vanilla and coffee. A wonderful combination.

"Mom, this is Harry! He's my mate." I said, giving Harry a fake loving look as I introduced him. He put on a big smile and held his hand out for my mom to shake. "Put that thing away young man!" My mom scolded and pulled him in for a hug as well.

A surprised look flashed across his face as he glanced between me and my mom. What surprised me though, was that my mom didn't pay the least bit attention to Harry's appearance. It's as if she immediately accepted that he was IT for me.

"It's nice to meet you Mrs. Frey." Harry said awkwardly.

"Come on in kids!" My mom said pulling us in. "Alaska. Take Harry to the living room. I'll go grab us a cup of tea. I already boiled the water." She said and rushed off. I pulled Harry away from the front door and into the living room.

"She seems... nice." He commented as he sat down next to me on the grey sofa. I smiled and remembered the morning I met Harry. The day started off so perfect... so normal. And look where it had ended for me. With me finding a mate in a criminal.

"Here we go!" My mom said as she placed a tray with tea in front of us. It was strange to think that I'm a guest here now. Seeing as a couple of days ago I was still living here.

"Thank you Mrs. Frey." Harry said. "Please! Call me Stella. If I hear 'Mrs. Frey' I expect to see my mother in law." She joked taking a cup and handing it to Harry. "Alright, Stella." Harry said, chuckling.

"So Harry. How old are you?" My mom asked.

"I'm 22 ma'am." He said. I was extremely bewildered at Harry's good manners towards my mom. It wasn't something you'd expect to see from someone like him.

"And you know Alaska is only 18?" She asked. Harry nodded once.

It wasn't uncommon for young people to live with their mates. In fact it was highly frowned upon if you do not do so. Seeing as a mate bond can cause pain if it's broken we have always been taught that as soon as you meet him/her your life starts together.

"I know. But I plan on taking good care of her. I'm sorry to have to steal her from you so soon." Harry joked. My mom laughed.

"Oh please. I meat Michael when I was 14. He was 21. It was difficult to adjust but he did take good care of me... for a time." My mother's face saddened. Harry sat up and looked around the house. "Where is Mr. Frey?" Harry asked confused.

My body went rigid at the thought of my dad. My mom's face just saddened even more. "I take it Alaska hasn't told you?" She asked. "I haven't exactly gotten around to it." I defended. And he hasn't exactly asked anything about me.

"Alaska's father left me when she was 6." My mom said, keeping it short. Harry's eyes filled with sadness and understanding. As I mentioned before: Being left by your mate caused excruciating pain. It was basically the bond being torn in half and removed from your soul.

"I'm so sorry." He said quickly. "No it's fine. What do you do for a living?" She asked him, swiftly changing the subject. "I'm a CEO of a publishing company in the UK." He said. My eyebrows furrowed. this wasn't exactly what we discussed.

"The UK? That's wonderful! And a CEO at 22? You've got a fine one Alaska." Mom said.

-------------------------------

After another hour of conversation and me informing mom about the move to England I was finally able to go to pack my things. I decided not to take too much. We will be leaving behind most of it anyway when we fly to England tomorrow anyway.

So I grabbed a duffle bag and filled it with clothes and underwear. I packed my laptop and I-pod and then I was ready to go. I didn't exactly have room for shoes though, but Harry will just be forced to buy me some more once we settle down.

When I was finally finished it was time to leave again and me and my mom said our teary goodbyes. I informed her that I'll visit as much as possible and call her at least twice a week.

Harry waited patiently for me to get into the car and when I finally did, the engine roared to life and he drove off.

"Thank you." I said.

He looked at me and raised an eyebrow. "For what?" He asked.

"For allowing me to say goodbye to my mom." Even though I WAS still mad at him for the whole 'new country' thing, I decided that I would be angry again tomorrow and leave today with a slightly happy ending.

"It's a pleasure. And thank you for not making me kill anyone by not pulling a stunt today." He said. I could tell he was being honest. Maybe he didn't like killing people as much as he led on.

Maybe there was still hope for him yet.
