War Torn

Chapter 18

Harry was rubbing aloe on my shoulders and back.

"I think we should have brought more sunscreen." Harry said.

We were back from our honeymoon, and we both were sunburned.

"You think?" I asked.

When Harry finished, I rubbed aloe on his back.

A knock came at the door as I was putting my shirt back on. I left the bathroom and went to the door and opened it.

"Hey how was your trip?" Kate asked.

"Amazing." I smiled.

"Was it just Amazing?" Harry asked as he put a shirt on.

"So Will and  I were wondering if to to would like to join us for lunch?" She asked.

"Sure," Harry said.

Harry and I left with Kate. We went out to the garden and met up with Will. "Woah you two are burned." He said. "Yes we ran out of sunscreen the last day. We even cut the tube open to try to scrape the last bit out." I said. Will laughed. "The only place we were able to buy more was at the airport and by then we didn't need it."  Harry said.

We told them what we did on our honeymoon leaving certain things out.

"Well it sounds like you two had fun." Kate said.

"We did." I said.
 
Our food was brought out and we ate.

-a year later-

I sat next to Harry, watching the opening ceremony of then Olympics.

"This is amazing." I whispered to him.

"We'll have to leave early." Harry whispered.

"Fireworks?" I asked.

He nodded. That didn't make me feel good. Especially with so many cameras around.

•••

The screams of the fireworks going up the sky got my attention first before the explosion. I jumped up and climbed over Harry to get to the stairs. I ran up the stairs and ducked as the explosion went off. Harry appeared, his arms around me.

"Were safe." He whispered to me.

We got out of the arena, and we were escorted into a private room. I fell to my knees. Harry crouched down next to me.

"Nonononono." I muttered as I squeezed my eyes shut.

The fireworks finally lasted ten minutes. I held Felicity in my arms she was shaking like a leaf in the breeze.

When they stopped. Felicity lifted her head.

"Is it over?" She asked.

"It is, do you wanna go back out?" I asked.

She nodded. 

I helped her up. She was still shaking. I took my jacket off and put it on her.

"Your safe." I said. We went back and took our seats.

"Are you alright Felicity?" Kate whispered to her. She nodded.

I took her hand and squeezed it. I had a feeling she wouldn't sleep tonight.

I was in a parlor watching the recaps of the opening ceremony. I had the volume practically silent. I wasn't even really watching. I was reading Jane Eyre.

"Now this is interesting, this was the only camera pointed at the royal box when the fireworks went off. We see Princess Felicity jump up and practically climb over her husband, Prince Harry. Before he gets up and they leave. If you zoom in you can see the look of pure terror on her face." The reporter said.

I looked at the tv as they played the video over again.

"Then once the fireworks are over, The Duke and Duchess of Reading return. Princess Felicity looking like she's in shock and wearing Prince Harry's jacket." I grabbed the remote and changed the channel. To something not about the Olympics.

•••

I was fighting my eyelids not wanting them to close. Yet they did.

"Felicity time to get up." Harry whispered to me.

I opened my eyes and he was crouching next to me. I sat up and stretched. Harry kissed my cheek. He helped me up since I had slept in my prosthetic leg.

We went to our room and got ready. Luckily I had washed my hair the night before. I brushed it out and put it in a ponytail. I put a bit of make up to hide my tiredness.

"At least you got a bit of sleep." Harry said.

I smiled.

"At least I did."

We went out to the cars. The royal family was attending a lot of the Olympics.

Harry and I ate breakfast while we rode to our first appearance.

I'd gotten used to the public appearances. But the Olympics were a whole different experience. At least it was laid back enough that Harry and I could hold hands.

•••

We sat watching the Equestrian events. Supporting Zara, Harry's cousin.

She ended up placing, and earning a metal for Great Britain.

Out of the entire Olympics my favorite events Harry and I attended was the track races in the Paralympic Olympics. Harry and I were both engrossed by it.
