He owns the fear! So I would say it is his fear then your afraid is correct! The fear belongs to him just like his wallet that he is afraid of getting stolen! So get a job teaching English the schools are already screwed up!
Afraid is an adjective. You can't own an adjective. In the sentence that you originally constructed, you're is correct.
As for the way English, not to mention math & science is taught in American schools...I have to agree that it sucks. That's why I prefer talking to fish. They make more sense than a lot of people do.
