The mentally brave ( Editing)

"What?" Fear takes over me watching his eyes turn black, his height stretching over me.

"I saw you last night, you opened the door with just a look" He was trying hard to keep his voice even.

"Harry, listen to what you're saying... that's crazy" I say. I look into his eyes trying my best to sound truthful. Without being able to hear his thoughts I can't know if he believes me or what he'd seen last night.

"No! Yes! I know it's crazy... three years I walk around thinking I'm mad! No way this little 16 year old can pick up a car and pull me out its crazy" he catches his curls between his hands pulling the woolly hat off.

"You weren't that heavy" I reach out to his arms to pull them away from his hair. Harry shifts away from me and sits down on the ground.

"I know what I've seen. I watched you the first time" He looks up at me.

"What do you think you've saw?" I ask him looking down at him in sympathy.

"The car, it lifted, just a little but enough for me to notice" He rubs his eyes.

"And then you crawling under and pulling me out. It lifted just enough for you to get me out, I saw it full back to place" He says.

"No, you've couldn't, you imagined it Harry, you were struck by pain" I am trying my best to convince him to let this go. That he imagined the whole thing. It's too dangerous for him to know about me.

"No!" He gets back up again. "You're lying!" He shouts at me.

I squeeze my eyes shut, taking a step back from him.

"I scare you" He whispers. "I can see it in your eyes" He taks a step closer to me "I'm sorry, I don't want to frighten you, I just want the truth" A tear escapes the side of his eye.
I so want to reach out and catch it. Harry puts his hands on my shoulders looking into my eyes. His green eyes are sparkling bright, I feel as if I might drown in them. My head and knees go weak. I shake my head to make it stop. That makes Harry lean a way slightly, and with that the weakness I felt disappears. I star at him wide eyed. Can it be? Did he do that to me?

"What is it?" He asks me.

"N-Nothing" I stammer.

"Lizzie, please" He is back to begging me.

"Look Harry I wish I could help you but I can't, I know nothing" I say

"Everything was taken from me. My little sister, my soccer scholarship, two years of my life I couldn't walk, go meet up with the lads. What kept me going was the faith that I'll find you, and you will tell me what really happened that day" He is holding my hand a pained look on his face.
I am torn. I want to tell him all I know and try and end his suffering. But I know that him having that knowledge will just bring more hurt and confusion his way.

"I'm sorry" I say to him "I really am"

He sits back on the ground, his head in between his legs. I kneel down in front of him. He raises his head to me.

"Harry let it go" I put my hands on his shoulders and slowly pull him in for a hug. He rests his forehead on my shoulder as one hand of mine is around his neck and the other stroking his soft curls.

"I'm sorry for shouting at you" He shifts back a few moments later.

"its fine" I give him a small smile.

"No it's not" He shakes his head "No one should ever shout at you".

That comment makes me grin "You're a real stud Styles"

We get back up, and I look at the cabin "What is this place anyway?"

"My dad owned it, so it belongs to me now" He says simply. My phone rings just then. I look at the I.D to see who it is before answering.

"Nat?" I am looking at Harry who is watching me.

"Liz! Mushroom is missing" She says, her voice full with despair.

"What do you mean missing?" I'm confused. Mushroom never goes far from home.

"I let him out to the front garden and when I went back out to call him inside he didn't show" She is struggling to keep her voice in control.

"Was the gate open again?" I ask calmly, knowing that if it was, he is probably by the neighbors.

"Yes! Well no! Not when I let him out, I checked. But when I went back out it was open and he was gone"

"Did you check the street? He doesn't go far" I remember him being a good and trained dog not doing things he's not allowed.

"YES! I DID! I'm not just calling you for the fun of it" She gets upset at me.

"Ok, calm down.. I'm on my way" I hang up the call.

"What is it?" Harry asks me

"Nat thinks something happened to Mushroom- That's my dog" I explain.

"I know your dog's name Liz" Harry tells me.
He starts heading back, stopping midway to make sure I'm following. We walk in silence. I'm not really sure what to say to him. My head is full of questions of what just happen a moment ago if it was Harry who made me so dizzy, or if it was something to do with me.

We reach the motorbike, Harry coming close to help me with the helmet, but I can manage on my own. Then I get on behind him and this time I don't hold him as tight.
We get to my house, Natalie is waiting by the garden gate.

"I've been calling and calling him" She says not giving me a chance to even get the helmet off my head.

"I can help look for him" Harry offers.

"That won't be necessary" I tell him "Mushroom will only listen to Nat or me"

"Well I'll tag along then" He insists. Natalie and I are looking at each other. We both know I will find Mushroom in no time. I just need to get close enough to hear his thoughts.
But how would I explain such a way of search to Harry?

'Its fine let him come' Natalie is thinking, I give her a small nod and look up at Harry.

"Fine. Let's be off then" I Say and take the lead down the walkway.

"Mushroom" We start calling. We turn at the park by the end of the road.

"Why don't we split up? We'll cover more grounds" Natalie proposes.

"Good idea, Nat you go with Harry that way" I point to the other side of the park "And I'll go this way" I point to the back of me. I watch them turn and make their way to the other side. Natalie looks back at me, and I signal her with my hands to keep going.

'I hope you know what you're doing' she thinks at me. I roll my eyes and go the other way.

I am calling Mushrooms name but not as loud as Harry and Natalie, since I know that he can hear me just as well. I go deeper into the small woodland on the side of the park.

"Mushroom" I say. As I get closer to him I can not only hear his whimpers but also his thoughts, the closer I am to him, the better the read on his mind is. He is trapped, he can't get out.

"I'm coming Mush" I whisper to him.

His yelps are louder now. I get to where he is, but he's not on the earth. I tilt my head and look up at the trees.

"Mushroom!" I call out to him. He is scared. My heart breaks seeing him in that box up on top. I try climbing up but it's too hard for me.

"Natalie! Harry" I shout, though I know it's no use since they are too far away to hear me. I try my best in climbing again. I almost get to the box Mushrooms in but it gets him moving in excitement. His movement sends me crashing down. I land on my foot in a funny way.

"Ouch" I cry out. Mushroom starts winning once more.

I dig out my phone to call Natalie, feeling like a twit not thinking of it before.

"Come Nat he's here" I say when she answers.

"Why do you sound like that?" She asks me

"I fell, come on fast" I tell her.

I'm looking around in the dark making sure the person who did this to Mushroom isn't lurking in the shadows.

After a few moments I can hear Natalie's thoughts 'we are almost there Liz not far'.
"Nat" I call out to her, so she'll know where to go.

"What happened to you?" Harry asks when they got to me.

"Not now! Mushroom is in the box up there" I point to above my head.

"Gosh! Who would ever do such a thing?" Natalie starts crying.

"Careful Harry, he doesn’t like strangers" I warn him as he starts climbing the tree.

"He loves me" He says. Both Natalie and I watch as Harry reaches out to retrieve the box carefully not to hurt the little dog inside.

"There you go" Harry takes Mushroom out the box and hands him over to Natalie. He then puts the box on the ground and offers out his hand so he could help me up. As Harry pulls me up I wince in pain, putting all my weight on my good leg.

"You're hurt" Harry states

"You think?" I answer as I am still holding on to him so I won't lose my balance.
He takes my arm and drapes it round his shoulders to help me walk. Mushroom is trying to jump up at me and lick my face.

"Yes fur ball I'm happy to see you too" I laugh.

"I can't believe someone would want to hurt Mushroom like that" Natalie says giving his body a little squeeze.

"Some people are bloody sods" I say

"Thanks Harry for climbing up to get him" Natalie looks up at him

"My pleasure" He smiles down at her.

We reach our home, Harry helps me in and on to the couch. He then kneels down and very gently takes of my shoe.

"I think you might have sprained your ankle" He shows me my swollen foot.
"I'll just wait for my mum to get home then, she's a nurse you know" I smile "Thanks for your help today".

"Like I just told Nat before, no problem" He sat down beside me.

"So…" I don't know what to say… He is sitting so close, I am getting flustered.

"You know, I kept wondering today, how is it we never hung out before- like together"

"You keep forgetting Harry, I'm the weird one, remember? You are the cool kid, with lots of friends, those two kinds of people don't mash well together"

"Well let's change that. Give me your number" His phone is out and in his hand.

"You sure you want to be friends?" I'm having a little trouble believing him

"Your number Lizzie" He repeats himself. I give him my number, and after he makes sure I'm fine he leaves.

I sit on the coach stroking Mushroom and waiting for my mum to come home from work.
Natalie went to take a shower and go to sleep, having enough 'fun' for one day.

It had been an eventful day. Who would have ever thought Harry Styles would spend a whole evening With the Silva sisters, and then ask to hang out with them again.

I am rolling this thought through my head over and over again. Maybe this is what was supposed to happen. I always wished to get close enough to Harry so I could try and find out how come he's the only human being I can't get a 'read' from.

My phone beeps indicating I've got a new message. I pick it up and look at the screen.
It's from Harry. My eyes go wide as I read what he sent, having hard time breathing.

From: Styles

Liz you better tell me what you have yourself messed up in
and this time make sure you are telling me the truth!

With that he sends a photo of a piece of paper:

This time it was your dog, if you don't watch out next time it just might be your sister.
