The surprise was evident on Harold’s face, bringing a tint of red to Nick’s cheeks. “Yeah, I was. I just…I just wanted to know you were safe. If there’s something going around attacking people…I just worried you might be out. Outside.” Shrugging, Nick smiled softly. “Don’t worry about me, I’m tough as nails.” He joked, attempting to lighten the mood, even just a bit. “I’m okay, for the most part. I’m not…i’m still not really sure what happened. I was walking…Then all of a sudden, it felt like something slammed into me. I fell, but when I looked back, there was nothing. Except…What I saw. At the edge of the forest.” Pausing, Nick shook his head before looking back at Harold. “I can do that, yes.” He nodded, chewing at his lip. “You’d do that? Miss work with me? In that case…Would you want to stay here? Tonight?”
“Nobody has worried about me before, not even my family,” Harold admitted, shrugging off what he’d said. He paid attention as Nick explained what happened, nodding as he did. What he said left off at the point that he had already told Principal Weems, so he didn’t have to say it for Harold to know it. The question made him smile, despite the dark mood of the night. He was obviously excited about having been asked. “Yes, I’ll stay. I would like that. Maybe that will make you feel a little bit safer. I would stop anyone that tried to hurt you. Do you want to watch a movie or something? Get your mind off of it?”
