Secrets

All We Need

Harry's P.O.V.

Blaire and I spent the whole evening together. I have to admit, I'm the happiest that I have been in a while.

It feels nice, very refreshing.

Once we left Blaire's house, we drove around the city. Music was playing, we were singing. We didn't have a certain destination, so we just drove and drove.

The conversation rarely died, when it did comfortable silence surrounded us.

Eventually the light blue sky turned dark, the city lights came on, and the stars came out. The moon was shining bright, illuminating the entire sky.

A nice park was near us, and we couldn't pass up a beautiful night like it was.

We made our way to a grassy area, slightly on a hill.

Relaxation hit us both as we lay under the blanket of stars above.

It felt as though the whole world was at peace.

Little talk played between us, but what was said I will never forget.

Flashback

Laughter was among us, neither of our breathing being able to be controlled.

We didn't know what was so funny, what brought the airy atmosphere, but we didn't care to stop.

It was probably the joke I told, the face she made when I burst into laughter while telling it was priceless.

She laughed along with me, each other's laughters being contagious.

"Harry" she barely whispered, after our breath was once again controlled.

"Hmm" I hummed in response, flipping onto my side so I could get a look at her face.

Her face reflected of emotions. Many of them.

"Do you know what it is like to feel happy with yourself, with the world. With what is going on in your life and around you?" A type of sadness filled her tone, making my heart ache.

I sigh, not knowing what to say. Do I know what it is like to be happy? I've felt it before I'm sure, but do I remember it?

"Happiness used to fill my life, no other emotion ever being witnessed. Something happened, something that caused my heart to shatter, something that I thought I could never be repaired from. Depression set in, the boys tried everything to get me back to my old self. Nothing worked. Nothing works. I gave up on all hope, Blaire. Everything I once lived for was gone in a blink of an eye. It was as someone snapped their fingers and took everything away from me. All lost. I was lost, I was and still am. I don't know what to do anymore, to say anymore, or what to feel anymore. Everything hurts, everything brings pain. I knew for a fact nothing could ever make me happy again, but these past few days have proven me wrong. When I'm with you I forget everything, I honestly do. A warm, fuzzy feeling comes about. And I like it. I like it a lot."

Blaire's P.O.V.

Speechless, I was completely and utterly speechless.

Harry has been through something, something that broke him.

In the past few minutes I have learned so much about him, from one answer to my simple question. He opened up to me, pouring his heart out. Why can't I do the same?

"When I'm with you I forget everything, I honestly do. A warm, fuzzy feeling comes about. And I like it. I like it a lot."

Those words have been playing through my mind since they rolled off his lips.

Everything he said, it was as he read my mind. Everything I had been feeling, everything I had bottled up inside, he put it into words.

He admitted something happened in his past, of course I wanted to know what, but I was going to give him time. Just as he was giving me.

I think Harry thought after his little "speech" I was hurt, maybe? I don't exactly know. He started rambling, throwing far too many apologizes in.

"Harry...Harry...Harry, stop apologizing. You did nothing wrong."

A flood of relief washed over his face, followed by a deep blush.

"Sorry...I just...Your face just...I don't know, I thought something was wrong, I'm sorry."

We sat there, staring into each other's eyes, reading each other's minds.

"Thank you" I whispered.

Confusion was clear on his face, I'm guessing he thought I was going to push him to tell me everything.

"Harry, I'm not going to make you tell me every detail right now, I can't make you. We only just met each other a few days ago, I'm not expecting anything."

He nodded his head. His curls shifted slightly, a result from being blown by the wind.

"No, Blaire. Thank you."

Like said before, time is all we need.
