Brave || H.S

{A/N} I think many may be confused with the story after this chapter but the first chapter which was the prologue wasn't literal.The "destroyed" world was a representation of taking freedom and independence away from people in law. An expiration to their lives was metaphorically represented by not letting them live their own lives, the peace seekers didn't believe people knew how to do anything independently so they made a law to take those rights away. Hope that clears things up a bit, now enjoy:)

Harry Styles

By law she had to come live with me. We were supposed to fall in love and grow a family together as husband and wife as soon as we were both the age of eighteen.

I'm twenty meaning that in order for her to be able to stay with her family was if she was younger.

"How old are you?" I ask in hopes she hadn't reached adulthood.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to be with her but I did not want to part her from her family.

"Eighteen, almost nineteen" she replies.

I nodded my head anxiously and tugged at the roots of my hair with my hands to calm me.

I felt terrible taking her from her innocence and loved ones. If it were vice versa I wouldn't want to be taken from my family but since I'm the male I would never had that problem.

I honestly hate the new law. We finally had managed to give females the same rights as males but now we had taken that back and gave all power to males.

The only good thing about it now is the matching soul mate tattoos.

"You know I have to take you, right?" I questioned her.

She nodded understandably.

"You can pack your things and meet me downstairs. Take as long as you need"

She nodded again but with a forced smile.

Was it always gonna be this awkward?"

"Hey, atleast I live next door so you can visit your family whenever you wish" I smiled genuinely and not forcing a separation between her and her loved ones.

She smiled broadly, clearly good news to her ears. Her smile really brightened the room, she was so beautiful. I admired her until I became known I had stared at her for a while and walked closer to the door of her bedroom to exit.

I turned back and saw her begin to pack her items.

"Jamie," I say to catch her attention. She stopped folding and looked up at me.

"I'm lucky to have found you" I say and exit, closing the door behind me.

Jamie Smith.

I found him.

What the actual frick frack?!

It was so unrealistic, I didn't even have to escape my bubble to find him, he found me.

I finished packing my stuff and took a minute to say goodbye to my room that held peaceful memories of my childhood and adolescence.

I exit the room and find my way to the room that belongs to my father right next door.

I knock, "daddy?"

"Yes baby girl?" he replies warmly.

I open the door widely so he can see the suitcase and bas that are filled with my belongings.

His eyes immediately widen in shock, "I found him dad"

He closes his eyes momentarily and then widens his arms to pull me in for a hug. I don't hesitate and go into my father's arm.

"Who is this boy, and how did you find him?" he whispers in my ear.

"You and mom sold the house next door" I begin and look up at my father.

He nods.

"They have a son and his mom baked goods for us and he brought them over. Mom saw his wrist and it matched mine" I say looking down at my wrist.

"Oh honey, is he a good boy?"

"Yes. He is allowing me to visit you guys whenever I want"

"That's great news sweetie, now that better be daily" he responds chuckling to himself.

"Of course daddy. I have to go now, he's waiting downstairs and I still have to go say my goodbye to mom"

"Yes baby girl, I love you always. Take care" he says releasing me from his arms. I get up and grab my stuff and walk down the stairs and into the kitchen to say my somewhat goodbye to my mother.

"Mom?"

She turns around and she's crying.

"I love you always" she begins.

"And I forever" I finish for her.

I hug her for what seems ages and release myself from her.

"I have to go mom, I promise I'll visit daily" I say warmly to my simple mother.

"Of course baby girl"

I let go completely and walk into the living room to meet Harry.

"Ready?"

"Ready."

He grabs my stuff and together we leave my home.

Simplicity. I grew up in that lifestyle but now I'm ready for my adventure.

I want to be brave.
