Fireproof: A Harry Styles Fanfiction

It's been a long day
Without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it
When I see you again
We've come a long way
From where we began
Oh, I'll tell you all about it
When I see you again
When I see you again

Damn, who knew
All the planes we flew
Good things we've been through
That I'll be standing right here
Talking to you
About another path
I know we loved to hit the road and laugh
But something told me that
It wouldn't last
Had to switch up
Look at things different
See the bigger picture
Those were the days
Hard work forever pays
Now I see you in a better place

How can we not talk about family
When family's all that we got
Everything I went through
You were standing there by my side
And now you gonna
Be with me for the last ride

It's been a long day
Without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it
When I see you again (see you again)
We've come a long way (yeah, we came a long way)
From where we began (know we started)
Oh, I'll tell you all about it (i'll tell you)
When I see you again
When I see you again

Ohhhhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhhhh
Oooooooooo
Oooooooooo

First you both go out your way
And the vibe is feeling strong
What's small turned to a friendship
A friendship turned into a bond
And that bond will never be broke
The love will never get lost
And when brotherhood come first
Then the line will never be crossed
Established it on our own
When the line had to be drawn
And that line is what we reach
So remember me when I'm gone

How can we not talk about family
When family's all that we got
Everything I went through
You were standing there by my side
And now you gonna
Be with me for the last ride

Let the light guide your way
Hold every memory as you go
And every road you take
Will always lead you home, home

It's been a long day
Without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it
When I see you again
We've come a long way
From where we began
Oh, I'll tell you all about it
When I see you again
When I see you again

Ohhhhhhhhh (Yeah)
Ohhhhhhhhh (Yeah, yeah)
Oooooooooo (When I see you again)
Oooooooooo (See you again)
Ohhhhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhhhh
Oooooooooo (When I see you again)

The day it happened, I didn't think much of it when I first heard about it. The next day, I had sat down to a breakfast of chocolate chip cookie dough Pop Tarts and a glass of milk when my mom came back inside not even 5 minutes after she had walked out to go to work, and she was pretty much almost crying. She was on the phone with someone and I'm guessing it was my dad. She told him that she was gonna talk to me and soon she hung up. I asked what was wrong and she brought up the accident from the day before, and I sat there confused. Then, she said your names and my jaw dropped. I didn't wanna believe it. I asked if you guys were ok and she said the dreaded 2-letter word, 'no'. The tears instantly flowed out of my eyes as my mom came around the table with tears in her own eyes to console me. After she had left, I called up Ashley to talk and I called up Brittany to let her know 'cause I didn't think she knew.

It's been a year since you left us way too soon, Nick & Casey. We still think of you a lot almost every other day.

It will be heartwrenching going to the 5 year class reunion and knowing you won't be there, Casey 😔. You should be there partying with us, but now we 'see you in a better place.' and at peace with Nick. Don't worry, though. We'll 'tell you all about it when we see you again'.

We love you and miss you, Nick & Casey. R.I.P.
