Sign of The Times (483 Words)
(Starring Harry and Ava)
Ava just stood there in her finest black dress, watching her brother's casket get lowered into the ground. A hand squeezed hers and she turned to find Harry. Her childhood best friend and long time crush.
"I never did like seeing you cry." He said to her and wiped away a tear.
"Now is not the time, Harry." Ava replied.
"Then when, I miss you, I miss us." He added.
"I miss you too, I miss us too, but right now I need to grieve, my 18 year old brother is getting buried after being fatally shot in a gang fight he had nothing to do with."
"Just remember, I'm here for you."

Harry was there for her, and she needed him more than anyone could ever imagine. She needed him as she began her investigation into who exactly killed her brother. She needed him the day she found out, and she needed him as she testified against the guy.
The day of sentencing, they were supposed to meet at the courthouse. But Harry never showed. Ava tapped into the inner strength Harry always swore she had an endless well of, and made it through. But when she left the courthouse, there were people waiting for her.
"Miss Winston, can you confirm the rumors of Harry Style's death?" A journalist asked her.
"I'm sorry, what? I just spoke with Harry this morning," Ava told the journalist and excused herself.
Once safe in the black town car that would return her to her flat, Ava called Harry's number. There was no answer. She immediately gave the driver Harry's address and told him to drop her there.
She got out of the car and let herself in, calling out for Harry as she went. After searching the entire inside, she went out to the garden and found a bleeding, unconscious Harry just lying there, completely still, like deathly still in the grass.
"HARRY!" She screamed and ran to him, using her scarf to try and stop the bleeding, while also calling an ambulance. Ava rode with Harry in the ambulance, he was still alive, but just barely.
Harry was placed into a medically induced coma, where the doctors were able to stabilize him, he was out for a week, but when he did finally open his eyes, there was Ava, sitting by his bedside, her eyes all red, puffy, and bloodshot from all the tears she had shed. But to him she was still the most beautiful woman.
"Harry?" Ava asked after she thought she saw him blink.
"Run away with me, my love." Harry responded and Ava just nodded before kissing him desperately.
"It's time to get away, my love." Ava whispered as they parted before pressing their foreheads together.
And run away they did. To a small island somewhere in the Caribbean, where they lived peacefully and quietly, enjoying their happily ever after.
