She's Not Afraid

Adam

            I had known this kid from age 6. He always knew how to make me laugh or crack a smile. About every other weekend or so in the summer we would go camping together just to have fun with each other. We would go fishing and canoeing and kayaking and it was lots of fun every single time.

            “You need me man I don’t need you, you need me man I don’t need you.” We both shouted as we cruised down the highway. Eventually, the song ended and a new one came on shuffle. This time it was Autumn Leaves, again, by Ed Sheeran.

            “This one was the best one yet.” I told him, referring to our just past camping trip.

            He nods and grabs my hand, giving it a kiss. “Thank you for the best camping trip of my life.” He said tearing his eyes away from to road and looking over at me.

            It was a silver car. A silver Toyota with a blue license plate. I remember everything about the car that we had crashed into. There was an elderly woman driving it.

            The impact of the two cars hitting gave a jolt throughout my body. I feel Adam’s hand grasp mine and squeeze it before it loses any trace of life at all.

            I immediately panic. I saw blood all over the dash board, blood seeping through Adam’s shirt. I passed out in the middle of it all, my body turning into a temporary coma from just pure shock and the whole horrify of the accident. I woke up in two days, but Adam didn’t wake up at all.

            A month later, he was buried at All Souls Cemetery near my house, just about an hour away. I memorized his exact spot, as I was there almost every day. I would camp out over night for the next two months, only ever sleeping in my own bed at my house if my mother begged me too.

            Every night before attempting to fall asleep I would look at the stars and see one shining brighter than the others and I knew it was him. I could tell. His spirited soul was in that star. I knew it.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

            I couldn’t help but realized that I had dozed off while think of this horrendous memory. I hastily stand up, unlocking the door to see Harry sitting there on the floor facing me, waiting for me to come out. I sit down next to him, wrapping my arms around him in a side hug. He embraces me back, pulling me onto his lap.

            “Do you trust me?” He asks for the second time today.

            “Yes. Yes, Harry Edward Styles. I completely trust you.” I say hugging him and putting my nose to his neck.

            I feel him kiss the top of my head and I pull away and look at him.

            “Do you want to talk about it?” He asks in a soft voice.

            I nod and sigh before telling him every vivid detail I remember from that camp trip on.

            Harry just listens, never interrupts me. I love people that can listen when you have something to say.

            “Thanks for listening.” I say, sniffling and embracing him once more.

            “Anytime, love. You can trust me with anything, I promise.” I smile at his kind words and kiss his shoulder. I then continue to embrace him and we just stay in that position a while.

            I eventually fall asleep, though, I’m not sure when exactly. But when I do fall asleep, I have warm and strong arms here to make me feel like I’m being protected. I love that feeling, especially since it’s been way too long since I’ve had this sensation.
