Psycho Sitter - Harry Styles COMPLETED

7.✔

Cassandra's POV

I freeze in my spot not daring to move a muscle afraid of whatever is making that noise noticing me and Ben.

"Ben, wake up." I whispered trying not to make to much noise.

He shifted in my lap opening his big blue eyes saying.

"What? I'm still tire-" I cut him off.

"Shh. Be quiet, there's somebody near... And I think it's H-Harry." his eyes shot back open and his face wore a frantic expression.

"W-we have to get out of here." His voice trembled.

"I know but we have to be careful not to be seen." I said slowly getting up and pushing my back against the trunk of the tree pushing myself up trying to stay hidden behind the big oak tree.

Ben stood up in front of me still hiding himself too. The sound of the heavy breathing got closer to where we stood hidden, my hands started to shake followed by getting clammy. I could hear the sound of leaves crunching under someones feet and they sounded close.

"I'm scared Cassie." As soon as Ben said that it all stopped.

The heavy breathing and the sound of crunching leaves. It was silent. I stood frozen knowing they knew we were here. This was it, Harry was going to find us and take us back to the house and probably kill us. I just feel bad because of how young Ben is. He hasn't even experienced life yet, he's still a child. An innocent one at that too and he's about to be robbed of his childhood of his life...

At least I've lived, his life has just started. My life has been pretty good up until yesterday but it's nothing like some people's, I'm one of the lucky ones. If anything I have good parents who care and take care of me and Ben, I have plenty of sweet friends -sure some of them aren't as much as others but still. I have taken my life for granted.

Death was never something I'd consider at the age of seventeen, I can't imagine being eight and innocent to the world. The saddest thing is that I can't even do anything about it, I can't make it better like daddy could when there was a monster under my bed or when a boy decided to break my heart into a thousand pieces and mom was always there to let me cry on her shoulder. There telling me 'everything will be alright' but now that I'm faced with reality where monsters aren't under your bed anymore they're right in front of you waiting for you to cave and give up and in this moment there's nothing I can do but wait for life to end praying that the after life will be pretty. That there really is a heaven waiting for me to enter. I hadn't even noticed that Ben was looking around the trees till the words I could barely but was so dearly grateful for hearing,"It's a deer." I turned around the tree to see none other than a white tailed deer standing before us chewing on some dead grass below its hoofs. I couldn't help when a smile spread across my lips.

"A deer." I said with joy.

"It's only a deer" I breathed out a sigh of relief.

It looked up from munching on the now dead grass it's breath making a small cloud of fog as it exhaled through her nose. It was a beautiful sight for I have never been this close to a deer like her. She looked scared of us like she at any second would just run away from us. Her problems we were her problems like Harry is mine and Ben's.

"It's okay." I said holding out my hand trying to show her that I meant no harm, she still looked frightened but not as bad.

"I want to pet her." Ben's voice asked looking up at me.

"I don't know if she'll let you." I said back looking down at Ben.

"I promise I won't hurt you." Ben said holding out his hand slowly walking to the beautiful creature in front of him.

"I promise." His sweet little boy voice said comforting.

"I don't break my promises, never." I just stood back staring in awe as the little blonde headed boy slowly neared the animal gently laying his small hand on her head softly petting the deer.

He smiled at the deer amazed at how he was actually touching this normally frightened animal. I too was amazed at the sight, this was supposed to be a frightening moment, a moment of tears and begging for our lives but instead we're experiencing something magical.

A boy connecting with a beautiful animal that should have run ages ago. I'm never taking life for granted anymore, I'm going to live as if there's no tomorrow. Like this moment could be my last and I only hope Ben will do the same, I have good feeling he will. For this is a beautiful moment that I think he will cherish forever deep into his heart for I know I will.
