Rachelsnoveller

It has been almost a year. A whole year, since you have seen him. Since you have smelt him, kissed him, held his hand. You pull out the newspaper article from the small shoe box that has been tucked away in your closet for months, and stare at it for what seems like hours. It might have been hours, but you have no way of knowing. You’re eyes get clouded, as if you can’t see anymore. You try to forget that night, the night it all happened. The night you lost him.

Harry held you from behind, staring into the mirror right into your eyes. He was smiling uncontrollably, and kept repeating the same words into your ear, “Forever and always babe. I promise.” It was your one year anniversary, and Harry had planned a special night.

It had been one of the best years of your life. You couldn’t believe that someone like Harry could fall in love with you. You met at a signing, he had asked you to stay later after it, and you agreed. After the signing you two ended up going to a diner, and talking for hours about little nothings that had absolutely no importance in your lives. He smiled and kissed you at the end of the night, resulting in an amazing relationship.

For your one year anniversary Harry was apparently taking you to dinner, and knowing him it was probably fancy. You were dressed in a long gorgeous gown, and had your hair up in an up-do with small curls cascading down on your shoulders. He smiled again and kissed your cheek, giving you butterflies all over again.

He leads you to the car by grabbing your hand, leaving chills all the way down your spine. He opens your door and allows you in the car before closing the door and proceeding to the other side to open his. He grabs your hand and starts the car, still smiling, and at this point you are wondering why he is but you go along with it.

You guys end up taking a different road, a road you have never seen before. On one side of the car there are trees, and the other is a beautiful lake, reflecting the moonlight. He looks at you one last time and says, “I love you so much.”

“HARRY!” he looks back at the road but its too late to stop. There is a deer in the middle of the road, and he swerves to stop himself from hitting it. After this it is like everything is in slow motion. The car flips but you can barely feel it at all, as your head is already dizzy from everything that is going on. You feel Harry let go of your hand and look around to see that you are upside down, and Harry isn’t next to you. You immediately crawl out of the car and see Harry lying down in the middle of the street.

“Harry! Harry! Please, no!” You scream and try to catch your breath, you notice that the car is on fire now, and so is some of the shrubbery on the edge of the road. You limp to Harry as fast as you can, falling next to him when you reach him.

“Baby..” You can hear him manage to whisper out, you already can’t control your tears and he is trying to wipe them away. “Do something for me, please.” You know he is dying and you can’t help but die a little when you hear this.

“Anything Harry, anything.” You are crying even more now, your salty tears are washing away your makeup and you can feel your heart beating faster and faster.

“When I die you need to leave, get help, don’t look back.” You try to protest but he just shushes you and says, “One more thing,” He rummages around in his pocket for a while before he pulls out a small black box and opens it to reveal a ring. “Marry me.” You accept by nodding you head and crying, as he puts the ring on your finger and kisses your cheek. You snuggle into his cold body, listening to his slow heartbeat, until it stops.

You look at the newspaper article. “Boyband singer, Harry Styles killed in car accident. Fiance injured.” You spin the ring around on your finger before saying, “Forever and always babe. I promise.”
