Henry Bowers my love😍

Ch.1

I was walking beside Henry on the street of Jackson. As we walked we held hands and I lay my head on his shoulder. It was quiet outside today. But I guess that's how it is when you live in a town where people go missing 24/7. Just last night I heard that a 4 year old named Rob went missing. What's sad is that I knew Rob. I held him when he was just a baby. I had babysat him a few times and we grew close. It's sad how many kids go missing a day in this s**t hole town. Anyways, me and Henry had walked far. We were approaching this building, better known as the crackhead house, and I always get a paranoid feeling when I'm around it. Henry knows I hate walking past that nasty building so he always switches over his hand so he can put his right arm around my shoulders and tightens his grip on my hand. I feel so protected when I'm around him. He makes me feel like I can conquer the world sometimes. I know it's silly to say but it's true. He is one of the VERY few people I can be myself around. Him and his gang are actually the only people I can be myself around. They don't judge me for being me like they do the losers. Though I wish they wouldn't bully them so much I still love them and will always be there for them, especially Henry. " What scares you so much about that house?" Henry asked as we walked past it. "I'm not sure. It has always creeped me out ever since I was little." I say as I look up at Henry. "Well, I'll protect you from the monsters." He said acting all smug. "My hero." I said as I let out a tiny giggle.
