Harry's POV
I'm on my way
Driving at 90 down those country lanes
Singing to "Tiny Dancer"
And I miss the way
You make me feel
And it's real
When we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill
Suddenly, the song blasting from Maddy's room is interrupted by the shrill sound of my phone ringing. I see Mary's name flash on the caller's list. I hesitate. Then I get out from bed and walk in my bathroom to take the call.
"Harry?", I hear a similar voice on the other end. Mary sounds worried. Scratch that, she sounds downright terrified.
"Mary, is everything okay?"
"Uh..actually Maddy is not picking up her phone. We were supposed to be at your place and we were heading there and then.... the truck..... and the lights...it crashed...and I...", her voice dies at the other end.
"Mary, who else is with you? Where are you guys? Just tell me, I'll be there."
"Uh...Sydney's in the car. She fainted mainly due to exhaustion, though she has a cut on the forehead. And we're in the middle of nowhere."
"Okay, just send me your location. I'll be there."
I grab my keys and run out of the house. As soon as I get into my car I see a message from Mary. And when I see the location, its 33 minutes from my place.
They really are in the middle of nowhere.
Mary's POV
"You should have called me ", my brother says for the umpteenth time and I sigh. Sometimes, he acts just so dumb.
"I already told you Marc, your phone was not reachable and Maddy wasn't picking up hers either."
"Guilty as charged", she mumbles from her chair in the corner.
"I can't even think of what would have happened if Harry hadn't been there, you could've like stayed there for days and fainted and..."I try to raise my hands in exasperation but the nurse bandaging my hand keeps a firm hold and I fail to do that too.
I look at my hand which is firmly bandaged and think,'It could have been worse'
Then Harry comes up to me and sits next to me. He's been quite this whole time, ever since he found us at the accident spot apart from muttering a few words of encouragement to Sydney who had been half-conscious at the time, as we drove to the hospital.
He looks at my sprained hand and sighs. He says,"Well, you can't help me with my Calculus, can you?That's relief though.You really are a relentless teacher. I haven't had a teacher like you in all my school life."
I laugh and really do. After everything, I laugh. He managed to make me smile, stop worrying and just laugh. A really good-natured laugh that I hadn't laughed since well, since I couldn't remember.
"Well, such an effect after just one week of tutoring you? Well, I expected better. I hate to burst your bubble but I injured my right hand and I write with my left hand"
And then, he looks stunned for a moment or two but then pouts and again, I laugh.Since when does Harry Miller have this effect on me?Well, I don't know but I like this. Whatever it is, I like it and I don't want it to end. Its been a week since he approached me after Calculus and asked me to tutor him. I couldn't say no to those puppy eyes, could I?
