Harry died at the young age of 17. It was a shame, he had so much to give. He was smart, beautiful and kind but he grew tired of worrying, tired of feeling insecure and tired of living.
So he stopped it all.
He finally did what was on his mind for...
Sometime, I find myself questioning what you wanted from me Harry? I'm not some superhero with some sort of powers that let me read your mind. I needed you tell me what you wanted.
You once called me superhuman, because I was brave, I would stand up for you, I didn't care what people thought about me and you admired that so much. I never understood your lack of confidence? I never really thought of it a major problem because I was always there for you, to tell you how beautiful and perfect you are.
You were so convinced that I was like superman or something, so that when we were younger, for Halloween we had both said we would by each choose the others costumes.
"Close your eyes!" Using his hands, Harry eagerly covered up the green.
"Hurry up Lou!"
"Okay okay you can open them now!" Louis was excited to see his best friends reaction, knowing that harry would probably refuse to wear it and have a strop. He loved to tease him.
Louis held up a pink princess dress up. It had poofs at the shoulders and connected were light pink mesh that made up the sleeves. The skirt part was long but knew it would probably end up being a bit a tad too short ( Harry was rather tall for a nine year old)
Unexpectedly, Louis didn't see Harry's face grow in anger or his eyes begin to water because the thought of wearing it made him embarrassed. None of that happened. The nine year old just smiled and got all giddy, "Oh wow, Lou it's so pretty, this must of been expensive. I can't wait to wear it!" He pulled Louis in for a hug.
"Right your turn to close your eyes!" Harry squealed as he ran to your wardrobe.
"I'm not doing that."
"I did it for you, pleaseeeeee!"
"Fine," Louis used his hands to cover his eyes, leaving little gaps so he could still see.
"Open!"
Pulling away the small hands, Louis saw blue material that would cover his whole body except the hands and head. "Superman really?" He laughed
"Yep. It will probably fit because I got it in an age 8-9." He smiled to himself because he loved the fact that harry knew everything about him, even knew what's size clothing he wore. Although The boy was ten, Harry knew Louis was smaller that the rest of his friends his age.
"Thanks," Louis took the super suit from The hanger, "why superman?"
Blushing like crazy, Harry looked down at his feet, "Because with out you, I wouldn't be able to wear things like this," he pointed at his shirt with a large flower in the corner then pointed at the princess dress that was now hung up.
"Yes you would."
"No Louis, I get picked on... and the only reason they don't bother me as much anymore, because you are there to save me." This time it was louis' turn to pull his best friend into a hug.
"I'll always be there for you. Let's just hope no one is mean to you whilst we trick or treat but if they do then I will just have to save you tonight!" Louis could feel Harry smile into his neck because The younger boy wasn't Taller than him...yet.
I was proud to wear that superman costume you picked for me and as soon as I saw you twirling in the princess dress I knew I would always be there for you.
But I let you down.
Im sorry I wasn't there for you, that I couldn't save you.
If you were still here, I would protect you forever,
Lou x
