Henry's pov
Why is this all so hard? I guess that's what I get for choosing the complicated girl. We've been together a few weeks and have already had more fights than some couple do in their whole lives! But winter is worth it. But she may never forgive me after what I said. She's not asking for attention. In fact, that's her problem. She thinks she can handle things on her own but clearly she can't. She needs to let me be her superhero. Wait. That's pretty good. Let be your superhero, let me be your super, hero. (Ya'll see where I'm going with this?😉) Whether she wants me there or not I'm going to be there, I'm going to make this better.

Eventually I cried myself to sleep. I woke up on the couch again. Having no idea how I got there. I stood up. I considered breakfast, but food would only keep me alive. I know I have to go to school, people would ask where I was if I wasn't there, so I should go. But I don't want to face everyone. All of them seeming so happy with nothing wrong in their lives. I got dressed in sweatpants and a hoodie. Appearance was not my first priority today. What about the woman's family? What if she had children? Who was the one to tell them that she wasn't coming home? I walked to school early so henry wouldn't try to come to the man cave to walk me. I went to my locker, got books, and went straight to my class half and hour early. Even the teacher wasn't there yet. I kept my head down as other students came in including Charlotte and henry walked in. I wouldn't look at them and they came in just as the bell rang so they had to sit down behind me. A little ways into class a note landed on my desk. I decided to open it. "We need to talk. H." I didn't even have look at henry, I could feel his eyes on me. Waiting for a response. I tore the note in half and dropped it on the floor. Soon another note landed in my desk. "Come on winter. What happened wasn't your fault. I want to help you. H." This time I did respond. "Help me with what? Can't you see I'm perfectly fine! W." The note came back. "No your not. H." I wrote back. "Yes I am! And I don't need you to tell me how it wasn't my fault because I already know it was! Just leave me alone! W." It came back one last time. "No. H." I just tore it on half and continued to stare blankly at the board behind the teacher. Twenty minutes before the end of class the teacher stopped. "Now some of you may know about the bridge collapse last night." I looked down. "And some of you may be wondering where Carry is. First, you should know that although captain man and kid danger did their best, there was a lot of people they couldn't save. And secondly, Carey's mom was one of those people. Her car fell off the edge of the beige and crashed." Carry was a nice girl. We talked a few times, nothing like that should ever happen to her. But it did. And it was all my fault. I killed her mother. Everything started spinning. I asked to be excused and ran out of the classroom. I hid in the bathroom until lunch. Then I knew that someone would find me here eventually. So I got up and went to the cafeteria. I got lunch and looked around. I saw lots of kids eating and chatting. I didn't want to join any of them. Them my eyes fell on Charlotte, Jasper, and henry and Bianca sitting together. I threw out my lunch, and went to the library for the remainder of lunch.

Winter never came back to any of the classes until lunch. She knew what had happened and she felt terrible. I looked for her at lunch but she wasn't there. So I sat with Jasper and Charlotte. "Has anyone seen winter?" Jasper asked. Only Charlotte and I knew what was wrong with winter. "I don't know I haven't seen her." I said. Suddenly Bianca flew over and sat right next to me. She was the last person I wanted to see right now. Not that I blame her for any of this but she wasn't making it any better. Plus it did seem a little bit like she wanted to get back to together with me. "Hi henry!" She said. "Oh hey Bianca." I said. "Do you want to hang out with me after school?" She asked. "Um can I talk to you? Alone?" We stood up and went to the hall. "What did you want to talk about?" She asked. "Look. Your a great friend and all that but I don't think we should hang out anymore. It's upsetting winter and she thinks you want to get back to together with me." I said. "Well duh! But she can't control you all the time and tell you who to hang out with! And she acts like she has all these problems just for attention and just expects you to feel bad for her and do whatever she wants." That made me angry. "Hey! She really does have problems because she's been through a lot! And she doesn't ask for attention she needs it and just because she gets jealous sometimes just means she cares about me!" I nearly yelled. "But she doesn't deserve you! We're perfect for each other! She doesn't understand how lucky she is to have you!" "No I don't understand how lucky I am to have her! And clearly your the jealous one because you had no interest in me after we broke up until I got her! And now I really don't want to see you anymore and that's my choice! So goodbye Bianca!" I stormed back into the cafeteria. I can't believe I ever dated someone like her! "Everything okay?" Charlotte asked. "Yeah just had to take out the trash." I smirked and she gave me a look. "So you finally realized that she was trying to get your?" "Yeah but I took care of it." "Have you found winter yet?" I shook my head. "No. But I really need to talk to her." Standing up for her made me realize how much I want her back so kept looking all day. But I never saw her. I knew she was avoiding so I didn't bother going to the man cave to look for her. Clearly she wouldn't be there. But there was one place I knew she would be. I ran all the way to the park and to the tree sill frozen. I walked behind it to find winter crying. "Winter?" She saw me and in a flash a spiked wall of ice formed around her. "Go away! I don't want to see you!" She said trying to cover tears. "I know. But I'm not going anywhere and I don't care if I have to wait you out." I sat down. "Why are you still following me?! Can't you see I don't want your help?!" "No. But you need it. I know you blame yourself for what happened. I would blame myself too. But it isn't your fault. If you want to be a normal person well guess what? Normal people make mistakes too. And normal people feel like crap, but they talk to someone until they don't feel that way anymore. Everyone needs help. Everyone needs comfort. And I'm sorry that I said you beg for attention. And in sorry for ruining our date. But I promise no one will get in between us again." The wall slowly melted and winter was curled up in a little ball. I ran over and hugged her. She cried into my shoulder for a while. Then she looked up. "I just... I can't stop thinking about how I'm like my mother. I lost my temper and I lost control. And it made me hurt someone. It just feels like that's who I am. I was born to hurt people so that's what I'll do for the rest of my life. I'm evil and I can't change that." I shook my head and took her hand. "If you were evil you wouldn't feel like you do now. If you were like fireball you would hurt people intentionally and not even think twice about it. But you made a mistake and you feel bad about it. So what you lost your temper? Everyone does. And everyone gets jealous makes stupid choices like making people fall." I gave the I know what you did look. She grinned a little. "That I still don't feel bad about." I laughed. We sat there for a while until I pulled her up. "And do you know why normal people do when they feel bad?" She shrugged. "They bury themselves in ice cream!" She rolled her eyes. "There is no way I'm doing-" I didn't let her finish. I dragged her back to than cave where we got tubs of ice cream from the snack machine and age it while watching tv.

After a while he tinted the TV off and went to get something. He came back with a guitar. "Now this is something I've been working on. I know it's terrible so don't laugh, but it has a message." I waited while he started.
Superhero by Ross lynch
Sometimes love's a scary place
It's like standing in the dark
Flying through the universe
Trying to fix your broken heart

It's okay to let it go
You don't have to be so brave
Take a chance if someone else
Is gonna swoop in and save the day

You don't have to face your fears alone
'Cause whenever you're in trouble
I'll know

Let me be your superhero
There isn't a place I won't go
Whenever you need me by your side
I'll be there, be there

Never be afraid if you fall
I'll carry you away from it all
Let me be your superhero
Let me be your superhero

Take off your mask, put down your guard
Don't need a symbol on your chest
It's all right for once to play
The damsel in distress

You're gonna use up all your strength
Trying to be so strong
Don't have to shoulder all the weight
Together we can take it on

You don't have to face your fears alone (You're not alone, baby)
'Cause whenever you're in trouble
I'll know, oh

Let me be your superhero
There isn't a place I won't go
Whenever you need me by your side
I'll be there, be there

Never be afraid if you fall
I'll carry you away from it all
Let me be your superhero
Let me be your superhero

Woah woah oooh
Woah woah oooh
Let me be your super hero
Woah woah oooh, yeah yeah
Woah woah oooh

Sometimes love's a scary place
It's like standing in the dark
Flying through the universe
Trying to fix your broken heart
Yeah

Let me be your superhero
There isn't a place I won't go (I won't go)
Whenever you need me by your side
I'll be there, be there

Never be afraid if you fall
I'll carry you away from it all (I'll pick you up, baby)
Let me be your superhero
Let me be your superhero

(Woah woah oooh)
Yeah, I can be your superhero
You know I will, baby
Woah woah woah oh oh
Let me be your superhero

I had a huge grin on my face. "I told you not to laugh! I know it's terrible." He said. "No no! I liked it! I'm not laughing." I argue. "The point is, you don't always have to be so independent. It's okay to ask for help sometimes." He was right. "You know what? Your right henry. I am too self self defendant. I always think I can handle anything in my own when I can't. It's probably because I've never had anyone to be there for me before." I said and he sat next to me again. "Well I'm here now. And whenever you need to talk or just have someone there, I'm your guy." I smiled. "Okay from now on I'll whine about all do my problems to you!" His eyes widened. "Wait. All of your problems?!" I laughed and playfully punched him in the arm. We hung out for the rest of the night. He was right. I'm not evil. How can I be evil with someone like henry always near me?
