The walls behind Harry's eyes,
they were falling down
Harry didn't know how to start.
He desperately wanted to tell Remus everything. About the pain, the helplessness, the sheer utter despair he felt everyday. He felt as though he could go on for days just endlessly ranting about his situation, about his life which had become a mess. He was too overwhelmed and just didn't know what to say. His mind was much beyond the point of being able to articulate coherent sentences. So instead, he settled with
"Please help me..."
More silent tears rolled down from his eyes, drop by drop.
Remus was prepared for this, or at least he thought he was. He thought he was prepared to see the look of pain and sadness that would surely be on the boy's face. And yet, Remus felt his heart shattering like glass thrown on a wall upon seeing the boy's face. Anyone seeing Harry in his current state would have felt the same way.
Harry, a boy only 13 years of age
and yet here he was, looking so...helpless. The expression on his face, the dullness in his eyes, they all made Harry look like a man who was worn out from years of life.
Remus got up and embraced Harry in a gentle hug. He spoke in a voice barely above a whisper,
"I'm here for you Harry. I will always be here for you"
