Trust
"Sirius, please."
"Please what?"
"Tell me. You can trust me, I promise."
"I can't trust anyone. That's the problem."
"Not even me?" I asked.
He shook his head. "I'm sorry, James… I'm just too scared to trust anyone."
"Because of your parents?"
"I guess. My parents… and everyone else who's ever let me down."
"I won't let you down, I promise."
"You can't promise that."
"Yes I can, Sirius. Because I love you. Nothing in the world could make me disloyal to you. If I hurt you in any way… it's like stabbing myself in the heart. You're my everything. I trust you, and for us to really work, you have to trust me."
Sirius was quiet. "I'll try."
Tears
Sirius pulled me into his lap. I rested my head on his chest and cried. He held me close, protecting me from all the evil of the world. I had just gotten the owl. I already missed him so much! What did I do to deserve losing my dad?
"It'll be ok" Sirius told me, brushing the hair out of my face.
"He wouldn't want this." He whispered "he wouldn't want you to be so upset. He wouldn't want you to cry over him"
I sniffed "But I-I miss him. He shouldn't have died"
"There's nothing you could've done to prevent it, so don't beat yourself up about it" He pulled me closer and whipped away my tears.
