Im only Human (Larry Stylinson)

Harry POV

I click the car and shove all my things in the boot. It has been officially a week since I talked to management and it feels refreshing. I climb into the car and start down the road. All that is in front of me is the road. I should have kind of planned this vacation but it was in the moment and just the plan to get away took some time.

I drum my fingers on the steering wheel as I listen to the music coming from my speakers. I look to my right and see a sign that reads Tennessee.

All that I see is grass and farms with a clear blue sky. I roll down the windows and let the fresh air come in. I smile as I take in a deep breath. The nice warm hair hits my face and my hair just flows along with it.

After driving for a couple of hours I see a lake or river maybe I don’t know. I take a road that leads me to the shore and I part. I climb out and my shoes make a crunch sound from the rocks.  

I walk up to the shore and look at the water. It is a clear blue. I take off my shoes and roll up my jeans a bit and sit near the edge of the water. But not close enough to get wet just my feet.

It is peaceful. The sun reflects off the water and it looks like crystals. It reminds me of something well someone but I don’t let my mind wonder that far.

“Hey! This is private property!” someone yells behind me.

I jump and turn around quickly.

I see a girl. She is quite…heavy but not too heavy just a bit big. She had blue eyes and brownish black hair. She had a flannel on with blue jeans on and converse.

I stand up quickly and hurry to slip on my shoes.

“Sorry” I say as she gets closer.

She squints at me “You’re not from around here are you?”

“What gave you that idea?”

“Your pale skin and accent”

“I’ll leave now” I say as I start walking towards my car.

“Hey!” I hear her say

I turn around “Yeah?”

“You look like you need a decent meal and a good night sleep”

“Well I was going to stop at a hotel around here”

She smiles “You could stay at my house, no charge”

“Look, I know what you’re playing and no thank you”

She looks confused for a minute “You think because you are a pop star that everyone likes you and wants to jump your bones. Sorry but I’ll have to disappoint you”

“What?”

“I like your music but that’s it. So do you want a good meal or you want to get junk food? Take your pick”

I contemplate on my options and she looks harmless. I shrug.

“Great now follow me”

“Wait my car”

“Leave it! No one is going to mess with it”

I follow her and walk beside her.

We get to a two story wooden house that looks old but sturdy at the same time. It’s paint is chipped and fading. She opens the door and kicks off her shoes.

“Take your shoes off”

I kick them off and follow her. The inside is nice and well kept.

“Dinner is almost done so wash up”

“Um…where?”

“The bathroom is down the hall to the right”

I follow her instructions and find it. I wash my hands and splash my face with water. I clutch the sink and look at the mirror.

I have bags under my eyes and my skin is quite pale.

I step out and walk back to the kitchen/dining room. She is setting the food on the table.

“I never caught your name” I say

“Hailey but you could call me hail”

“Okay” I see there is only two plates “Is it only the two of us?”

“Yeah”

“You live alone?”

“Yup”

“No parents?”

“No” she says as she takes her seat “They died in a car crash last summer”

My eyes widen at this information “I’m so sorry I-uh”

“No it’s fine” she says as she sends me a small smile “Well dig in”

There is fried chicken with peas and mash potatoes. There is a cup of water in front of me also. I cut a piece of meat and bring it to my mouth. I hum when it touches my tongue.

“How old are you?” I ask after I swallow

“Eight-teen. You?”

“Twenty”

“So you don’t have any sibling?”

She shakes her head. “No I only had my parents but now there…gone so it’s just me and betsy”

“Who is Betsy?”

“My horse”

“Oh”

We finish dinner and I help her bring the dishes to the kitchen.

“You know I lost someone too but not in the same way” I say to her.

She smiles at me sadly “Haven’t we all” she bites her lip “It’s the brown haired on isn’t it with the blue eyes”

I look down and nod slowly.

“It’s okay I don’t judge and I won’t tell. Who am I going to tell anyway?”

I smile at her. “I like you”

“Well thanks darling”

I finish helping her as she leads me to the guest bedroom. She wishes me goodnight and I do the same. I lay on the bed that is quite soft and comfortable. I close my eyes and drift off to sleep.

The next thing I know I’m being awoken to screaming. A girl screaming.
