Hey guys,

I am sorry for the wait, truly. Someone very special to me was in a coma and I just couldn't write. As of Thursday, he's no longer in the coma and I snuck down to see him.

Also, I rewrote the first chapter of this story while I was in the hospital, so go check it out. I think it's way better. And I have Angelic_1 to thank for her amazing help in rewriting it. I will, be rewriting the first couple chapters because I notice they need some work. So please check them out if you have time.

Then to make things worse, I accidentally tripped and landed on my stick drive, crushing it. I lost this chapter that I had had written already. I had to rewrite it again and then my dad came home so I had to spend some time with him, which is why this chapter is so delayed. Sorry again guys, but I'll let you get to it. I'm sure you'll be thanking me later :)

Chapter Twenty

Harmony's POV

My mouth drops open. I pull away from Drew, shooting him an apologetic smile as I whirl on my heel and hurry away, heading for the house, without looking back.

I didn't expect I'd ever see her again. Raina Kingston. It came as somewhat of a shock to me, and I can't deal with it now.

I just told Drew a huge part of my past, now Raina shows up, bringing a whole other chapter with her. I plan on telling Drew, just not so soon after I told him about Blaine. If I stuck around Raina long enough, she'd blurt something out and that would be it. I'd have to tell Drew. I'll probably have to tell him tonight anyway. I just can't turn and march away without him being suspicious.

I know he won't ask me to tell him, but he'll be thinking it. I can't leave him hanging like that.

I stop on the side of the pool, where surprisingly, there's no one. I yank off my gladiator sandals, sitting on the side to dangle my feet in the water, softly humming Lips of an angel.

I wonder if Raina noticed it was me. If she did, what is she thinking? Is she mad at me because I took off without saying anything to her? Was she expecting that reaction?

So many questions with only one person to give me the answers. I'll talk to her eventually. Probably the next time I run into her. If I'm brave enough to face that part of my past.

Tonight when I tell Drew, he'll most likely tell me what I should do. Drew's like that; he has an answer for everything.

Only, will I be brave enough to actually talk to her? I haven't seen her since the night her wedding was called off. She could be a totally different person. Would she even want to talk to me, is the better question. She did run away without taking me.

That hurt, though I'd never tell her that. She promised that once she and Drake had returned from their honeymoon, she would come for me. But what did she do? The minute her wedding was called off, she used me as a sob pillow and took off while I was asleep. When she needed me no longer.

I never once thought that I was mad with her for leaving without me. Leaving me to run away on my own which led to being arrested and almost sent to jail. But after seeing her again, I know I am mad with her. She's my sister, and she just abandoned me when things went wrong for her.

I furiously kick the water, splashing water all over the deck. My hands curl into fists and I reach over to punch a deck chair when someone grabs my fists before I can do any damage to it, and the deck chair.

I try to pull my hand away from the stranger, but the person holds tight. Judging by the tingles shooting up my arm, I know it's Drew. I frown angrily and turn back to the water.

Drew sits down beside me, uncurling my fingers from their clenched position. I know he's looking at me, waiting for me to say something. I keep my head facing the sky however. I lay down on the deck, placing my head in Drew's lap, closing my eyes.

"You going to tell me what's up?" Drew murmurs, brushing the hair back from my face.

I smile tenderly, "Sure, if you carry me up to bed"

Drew chuckles, "Anything for you Peaches"

I giggle as Drew stands up with me in his arms. I snuggle into his chest, winding my arms around his neck to hold myself up, although it's not necessary. Drew has enough muscles to carry a cow, I'm nothing compared to a cow. At least I don't think I am.

Drew carries me into the house, the music fading faintly in the background. A gasp of surprise sounds from Drew, his arms loosening lightly from around me, his body tensing.

"Why right in front of my bedroom door?" Drew moans.

I crack open my eyes to see a couple, doing 'stuff' against Drew's bedroom door. I stifle a giggle at Drew's horrified expression.

"D, are you a virgin?" I ask, feigning shock.

Drew's face snaps down to me, "Hell No, I'm just disgusted that they're doing it against my damn bedroom door" He's yelling by the end of the phrase.

I giggle this time at Drew's stunned face when the couple continue against the bedroom door. Acting like they heard nothing, or they heard him but chose not to move.

"D, hun, I'd like to get into that room. I don't feel like sleeping in the hall, could you..." I jerk my head towards the couple, hoping Drew catches the memo.

Drew sighs loudly, sitting me down on my feet, "Fine"

I smile, watching him step forward hesitantly to the couple. Drew bangs on the wall beside the couple. Nothing. Well not nothing, the boy glance at Drew then turns back to the girl. Drew groans, gazing at me with a what- now, look.

I frown taking a step forward, "Must I do everything?"

Drew chuckles, "I guess you must"

I roll my eyes, cupping my hands around my mouth earning a scoff from Drew.

"Back away from that door" I holler. "Or I'll get my shot gun"

The couple break apart, the girl turning around. The boy sends me a girl as the girl scowls at me.

"What gives?" The girl snaps.

"Well I don't know" I cry throwing my hands in the air. "You were sexing against my bedroom door"

The girl scowls, stepping behind the boy who looks bored. Probably because he knows he won't be getting any more.

"You could've waited" The girl whined. "We were getting to the good p-"

"Whoa there girly" I cry, throwing my hands over my ears. "Stop right there. I don't want to know"

Drew chuckles stepping beside me. "Would you mind? We'd like to go in now"

The girl scowls again -I'm going to call her Grumpy- steps away from the door, clutching onto the boy's arm. The girl stalks down the hall, pulling the boy along behind her. Drew opens the bedroom door, being careful to not touch anything but the door handle.

I step into the room, then poke my head back out into the hall. "Oh and put some clothes on would you?"

I laugh and slam the door shut, locking it in case the sexers want to enter the room and murder me for ruining their sex time. Drew laughs also, heading over to open the windows, and close the blinds on the balcony.

I grab my pair of pink and white plaid jammie shorts and my black tank top, stripping out of my party dress and pulling on my jammies while Drew isn't looking.

I flop down on the bed, tucking my hands under the pillow. I focus on the pillow case design as Drew changes into his jammies. By that I mean, removing all his clothes save his boxers. He flicks off the lights and slides into the spot beside me, switching on the mini lamps above our heads before turning to me, leaning against his palm.

I take a deep breath and turn to Drew. After tonight, they'll be no secrets between us. Unless, Drew has any more.

"Story time" Drew cheers like a little kid, lightening the mood.

I giggle, "Yup Drew-Drew, story time"

Drew chuckles, waiting for me to start.

I clear my throat, "I left the beach so fast because, my sister was there" I declare brusquely.

Drew arches his eyebrows, looking lost. "You have a sister?"

I nod my head "Yup" I say, popping the 'p'. "Raina Kingston"

Drew cocks his head to the side, "Raina Kingston? I know a Raina Kings, not a Kingston. Was she the one with the curly black hair and the blue eyes....Oh my god Raina Kings is your sister, she could be your twin! I can't believe I didn't notice" Drew cries, finally making the connection.

She changed her name. That's such a Raina thing to do. She'd change her name so our parents couldn't find her if they ever felt like they needed to. Not like they'd want to anyway.

Drew nods, rubbing my arm when he notices me shiver. "Go on"

"My dad is Moolah. The famous drug lord. My mom is Long legs, the famous prostitute" I mutter, looking down.

Drew's body tenses and the room is silent.

I know what's coming now. He'll be disgusted, and he'll never want to see me again. I'll end up having to leave without him and once more I'll be on my own. I don't think I'll get over this one easily, I really like Drew. He's my rock and, my everything basically. I don't know what I'll do without him. I'm starting to think my crush has developed into something more. Something I thought I'd never experience again. I don't think I'd ever have a chance with Drew; he's way too good for me. There's no way he would've thought of me in the way I think of him. Even in the off chance that he did, he won't anymore.

"You're disgusted" I murmur, trying to stop the tears from coming.

The bed shifts. Here it comes; he'll spring from the bed and drag me out of his house. Maybe will run into the sexers on our way out.

Suddenly, something that I never suspected happens. Drew tilts my chin up to face him, wiping away the tears with his thumb.

"I'm certainly not disgusted with you. I am disgusted with your parents" Drew murmurs firmly.

I choke on the tears in my throat, stunned. I thought for sure he was going to show me to the door.

"All I'm worried about is if you ever....if you ever....tried a drug or your mothers....job. I know you didn't, I just want to make sure -"Drew trails off.

I grin and chuckle. "Of course not D, I've never touched a drug in my life"

I did, but you know what I mean. I didn't touch it to use it for myself. Sure, Kayla had tried to get me to try one, but I wasn't going near it. I was not going to become a druggie like her and ruin my life because of drugs.

"What's the deal with Raina then?" Drew wonders.

I sigh, "Raina left when I was 16. Her marriage was off and that night after crying, she took off without bringing me with her like she promised to do. I haven't heard of her or spoken to her since"

Drew nods, "That's a sensible reason to run away from someone"

I laugh, and punch his shoulder lightly. "I did not run away!" I defend.

Drew raises his eyebrows, chuckling. "Then what did you do then? Jog away?"

I laugh, covering my mouth with my hand. "No. I turned away! I needed time to think"

Drew chuckles, standing up. "Whatever you say"

I roll my eyes and stand up too. "I'm going for some fresh air"

Drew nods, "Alright"

I smile and open the balcony door, leaning against the rail and gazing out at the lake, the music from the beach playing softly in the background.

"Time to slow things down" I hear the DJ shout into the microphone.

The crowd cheers and disperses to find a partner. The brave girls with guts ask the boy while the others stand on the side in hopes a guy will ask them. The boys, mostly head out to ask a girl.

"May I have this dance?" I turn around at the sound of a voice.

Not anyone's voice, Drew's. He's standing beside me with a smile on his face, his hand extended towards me as the beginning chords of Hero By: Enrique Iglesias start.

"Yes you may" I smile, placing my hand in his.

Drew draws me close to his warm frame, resting his hands on my hips. Together with sing the lyrics as we sway back in forth. I rest my head on Drew's shoulder. I stop singing to listen to the ending of the song, but Drew continues singing the last verse softly.

I can be your hero, I can kiss away the pain

(I can be your hero baby)

Softly, so soft that I almost missed it, Drew murmurs, "I'm done"

His hands leave my hips to cup my face. Then, ever so softly, his lips capture mine, forcing me to forget everything.

How was that to make up for the wait? I bet you guys really love me now, as you should. I was thinking to leave this for another seen in the story, but I have something else planned for that scene now.

I know the song is kind of an oldie, but it's a really great song. I love it. I was listening to it while I was writing this so I just had to use it. I couldn't really think of any other slow songs either, so eh, this one was there and wanting to be used.

I won't be uploading as often as I do, maybe like every Saturday. My Mum and I don't have a great relationship and the other day she just like snapped. She limited my computer time and my iPod and phone time. I did however manage to raise my iPod time, because there's no way I'm giving up iPod time. I couldn't live an hour without it.

Song of the day: Hero By: Enrique Iglesias, check it out on the side. Listen to it towards the end of the chapter, might make it more amusing.

Peace out home biscuts,
