The bright headlights blinded me as the truck came closer; raindrops and salty tears blurring my vision.

This was it.

"I love you, Harry."

********************

I closed my eyes as I felt the ground shaking, the truck still driving straight for me. Only a second passed as I felt something hit me hard. My body suddenly flew to the left, slamming on the ground. I cried out in pain, but realised that it hurt less than I thought it would. Maybe I'm already dead, but if I was, why would it still be raining?

"Emery!" I heard a male's deep voice. He sounded like he was in total misery. "Please, baby. Please, please, please. Emery, open your beautiful eyes. Please, for me." I felt the need to comfort him, but I couldn't move. "Emmy..." It was Harry.

"Is she okay?" I heard another voice ask. "No, she isn't fucking okay. You almost hit her, you bastard. You better watch out, because after all this, I will KILL you." "I didn't see her! I swear!" "You can go to hell," Harry had never sounded this threatening before.

"H-" I sounded pathetic, but I could barely speak. My head was literally pounding and it hurt to think. I could only get out the very beginning of his name. "Baby, can you hear me?" I felt a soft, wet palm touch my forehead, a ragged breath on my face. I tried to nod but I couldn't at all. "Should I call someone?" "Get the fuck away," Harry snarled.

"Emmy, can you move, love?" I tried really hard to shake my head, and something must've happened because Harry gasped quietly. "I'm going to pick you up, babe. We need to get out of this rain." I felt strong arms carefully move underneath my body and curl around me, lifting me up. Even though it was pouring around us, Harry was still very warm.

"Harry," I could finally talk! "Emmy!" My eyelids were fluttering, desperately trying to see his face. I felt him set me down, but I was lying in his lap. I guess he had sat down on something. "I am so sorry. I should've caught up to you faster. You wouldn't have been in the road in the first place. Thank god that I pushed you out of the way. If you had..."

He stopped talking and I could feel my motion regaining. I slowly reached my arm out, trying to find him, and felt my fingertips connect with curly hair. "I didn't want to fight with you. I'm so sorry for everything. I didn't mean what I said." "You don't..hate me?" I whispered. "Of course I don't, Emmy." I squeezed my eyelids as I tried to make them start working.

Luckily, they decided to spring open after a few moments of struggling. I was instantly staring into a pair of troubled green eyes. "Emmy" I got lost in his eyes and must not have been paying attention to what he was saying. "Emery," he said with a serious tone. "I love your eyes," I said, distracted by how mesmerizing they were. I heard his deep, loving chuckle and I felt my lips smile.

"Babe, we have to go to the hospital." I sighed and he laughed. "I know, I know. You hate hospitals and you don't want to worry your mum." "You know me so well." He grinned and my favorite dimples revealed themselves.

"Please don't make me go, Harry," I whined. He smirked at me and closed his eyes, thinking about what he was going to do. "Fine, I'll become your doctor." I started clapping and he rolled his eyes playfully. "Let's go." "Wait, what about the person who almost hit me?" "I'll deal with him later." Fair enough I guess.

***********************

"We're here," Harry informed me, kissing my forehead gently to bring me out of my dazed, sleepy state. "Harry, you shouldn't have carried me the whole way. Your arms don't hurt?" "Em, stop worrying about me! You're the one who's hurt." I watched as he tried opening the door to my house using keys I had given him earlier and failed, since I was still in his arms.

"Here, let me do it," I offered softly. I took the keys from his hand and carefully opened the door. "Emery?!" I heard my mum's anxious voice as soon as Harry and I entered. She came into view and her eyes widened. "What happened?! Where were you two?! Did you two make up?!" My mum overwhelmed us with questions.

 "We missed each other and wanted to meet up. We went to the park and I guess we lost track of time. Then, Emmy tripped on our way back so I carried her." Wow...Harry made that up quickly. "Are you okay?" She asked me, seeming like she didn't believe Harry's lie. "Yeah, I just have a headache."

"How about both of you sit on the couch and I'll make you some tea and get you some medicine? Then we'll talk about why you're completely wet." My mum disappeared into the kitchen whilst Harry brought me into my living room, laying me on my couch. "Do you think she believes it?" I whispered. Harry shrugged before putting his arm around me.

"What time is it?" "About 11..." "That's why she was so freaked out! It's so late and we have a curfew!!" Harry just looked at me and began laughing quietly. "What?!" "You're only worried about a curfew after all that's happened." "Shut up," I giggled and shoved him away.

"So why are you wet?" My mum returned with hot tea and pills for me. "It started raining and that's when I tripped." She nodded and sat down on the other couch. Harry and I began sipping our tea awkwardly as my mum stared at us creepily.

"Harry, can I talk to you alone?" Harry glanced at me nervously and I touched his hand lightly before giving my mom a warning look and leaving. Haha well she thought I was leaving...obviously I was going to hide and listen. "What would you like to talk about?" I heard Harry ask politely. My mum's laugh filled the air. "You're acting like this is our first time meeting, relax." "Well, you are like a second mum to me...but I'm still scared to be honest."

"Haha, Harry I have something important to say." "Okay," he replied unsurely. "I have loved you like my own child since you were born. I've watched you and Emery grow up and I still am. I've seen you two go through hard times but you always end up coming back to each other. I always knew that Em fancied you, and I knew that you fancied her. Relationships are hard, especially because both of you are still best friends. I trust you, but there's one thing that has been worrying me."

I waited but didn't hear Harry say anything. "Promise me that you won't leave her. Even if this romance thing doesn't work out, I need to know that you'll be there for her." "I'll always be there for her. I promise-" "Harry, listen." What is going on? "Is something wrong?"

"If you leave her, I don't think she'll ever recover. I know how much you mean to her." "She means everything to me." "I need to tell you something else. I haven't told Emery yet, but I will." "What happened?!" Harry voiced how frightened I felt.

"I have cancer."
