Memories PV Henry Finished

Henry listened to her answer and smiled at her while still grazing into her crystal clear blue eyes, before turning back to face the sky still with a million thoughts on his mind and his ever looming anxiety over his head as it threatened to rain down from above. Henry liked the idea of studying with her and taking his mind off of everything but he couldn't stop himself from thinking about that summer and his life that he's hiding away from everyone, as he stared at the sky where only a few occasional owls flew past. Henry bit his lip as he wanted to tell her but knew he shouldn't, he didn't know how their relationship will be affected if he did so he decided not to tell her and keep it in his mind, isolated to himself which would end up being a bad idea.

Henry took a deep breath as he tried to looked past his thought and ever looming anxiety as he stared up at the sky to watch a dew dragonflies playing in the breeze before he spoke " sounds like a plan then," Henry looked at Miranda real quick before turning back to face the sky as he continued " isn't funny how a million things could be going on, but up here with you it feels like time as stopped and everything is at peace for once."

Hearing Miranda speak, made Henry ease up and remember the day that the two first met, Henry was upon the tree and reading, like usual and Miranda just approached him and started to talk to him. It was odd to Henry since no one, have ever just came up to him and especially never talk to him but she did and after they actually started to chat and joke around a bit. Henry looked toward the sky as he remembered that it started to rain and they both ran back to the hall where they became friends before going their separate ways, Henry smiled at the thought before others started to fill his mind again.

Henry felt panic and his anxiety fill his mind as all his worries and fears filled his head and he couldn't see pass them, he started to think maybe he should tell her about his summer holiday and his hidden life, but something stopped him. A feeling and a voice that told him not to, that told him only the cons of telling her would be so instead he continued to look upon the sky. After a few minutes however Henry spoke "If you had a secret, uh a personal and deep secret then would you tell your closest friends or would you keep it to yourself?"

As Henry listened to Miranda, he continued to look at the clear blue sky which after a while sort of reminded Henry of her blue eyes. When Henry heard Miranda finish speaking, Henry thought over what she said and once he came to a decision that took some time and was extremely difficult to make, he turn on the branch to face Miranda and graze in her crystal clear blue eyes as he spoke " we met on this same tree, last year,
do you remember? It's funny how life works out for better.... or for worse," Henry paused as he took a breath before placing his hand near hers so his fingers would brush against hers, slightly as he spoke again " after that day when I confessed my feelings to you and you to me, I was more than happy and I was even more bloody happy when you agreed to go on a date with me," Henry paused as he grab onto Miranda's hand and held it, a bit tight in his own as he spoke again " I trust you more than anyone Miranda, your an amazing person and I'm more than thankful that I have your friend."

Henry didn't think the word friend would describe them anymore so he spoke again " after you learned that I fancy you, that I had a crush on you. I was so embarrassed and awkward but when you admitted that you felt the same way then agreed to go on a date with me, I saw something else, I felt something else," Henry took a breath before speaking again " I saw that you are more than my friend, that I fancy you and want our relationship to grow, to evolve-" Henry felt the back of his neck start to sweat as his anxiety started to grow as he worried about saying something wrong before speaking again " that's why I'm going to tell you something, something that I haven't told anyone. Something that I kept that have isolated me from others during our second year so far, something that my supposedly best friend," He thought of Cricket then spoke again " doesn't even know, well not everything. So I need you to promise to keep it to yourself. To not see me anything differently and for our relationship to not change for the worse. Can I trust you Miranda?"

As he listened to Miranda, Henry took a breath while continuing to hold tightly onto her hand. He was still uncertain about if he should tell her or not but he did know one thing that he had feelings for her and truly had a crush on her, that their date set during the Christmas holidays was something that Henry couldn't wait for because he really did care and love her even through the 12 year old didn't know how to say it or feel it.

Henry looked at Miranda and in the end decide to tell her as he spoke quietly to her so that no one else can hear " just promise me, your feelings won't change about me," Henry then took another breath and leaned in closer to Miranda as he continued to speak softly " during the camp I received a letter from my brother saying my father's family, uh the Alluring's wanted to meet us and that father already set a date aside during the summer to meet them," Henry took a breath before continuing" the odd thing is that my father was disowned from his family when he was 15, so why would they welcome him back? Well after the camp, I went to their house with my siblings and father to meet them and-" Henry paused again before continuing more quietly and a bit shaky and found out their true motivates for welcoming him back. They didn't care about my father, they only care about continuing their bloody pureblood bloodline."

Henry could feel himself getting angry but took a breath before continuing to talk quietly to Miranda " so they arranged marriages for Arthur and myself to ensure the bloodline stays pure or whatever. When Arthur found that out, he said a few things then stormed out closely followed by me and Annabeth," Henry took another breath before continuing in a whisper " our father soon followed us but he said that his family does whatever it takes to get their way," Henry took another breath before continuing " we try to ignore them and go about our life that they don't exist like before but I can't stop myself from thinking something bad will happen, like this is only the beginning."

Henry felt like a fool, what if Miranda leaves him? What if she no longer cares for him or wants to be his friend? This was a mistake telling someone instead if keeping his life hidden from anyone, Henry threw his messager type bag over his shoulder and climb down a bit before jumping the rest of the way back to the ground as he spoke " this is wrong, I shouldn't have told you. I shouldn't have told anyone!" Henry started to walk quite fast back up the grounds as he said again "I'm such a bloody idiot, why would I say anything."

Henry heard the sound of Miranda calling him and somehow he stopped to approach her. As he looked into her eyes, he felt something, something that he didn't suspected to feel. That feeling made him relax and calm down enough not to run from her or yell, he really did love her and wanted to be with her so instead he spoke " listen I'm sorry I told you and I didn't mean to bring you into all of this," Henry paused and he looked around the courtyard at the others students unsure if they were watching or listening to them so he gently garb Miranda's arm and pulled her to the side as he continued in a low whisper " I still care about you and love you Miranda but after hearing that I'll understand if you no longer share my feelings nor want to hang out with me."

That felt odd to Henry as he spoke those words to a person he thought of as his friend, as someone who he loved even and would trust with his life but he knew what had to be done and he wasn't afraid of doing it since he isolated himself from everyone else already. Henry smiled at her as he spoke " your a amazing person Miranda while I'm not, you should have better friends than me." Henry couldn't believe he just said that and smiled at her as he got ready to leave but instead just stood there for a bit longer.
