Remember Me (Sequel To Forgotten)

He Forgot

Remember Me 

Chapter 5; He Forgot 

Bella's POV 

I woke up later that morning, still on the couch. Taking in and remembering what had happened early this morning, I stood up, and ran to the stairs. 'Do I dare?' I asked myself. My fear of him being home was just as great as my fear of him being gone. I wanted him back though, so I ran up to his room. I quickly opened the door. His bed was empty, and the tears came back in my eyes.

I went to Louis' room to get El, but they were gone too. No one was in Zayn's room or Liam's. I was scared. I ran frantically around the house, looking for everyone. No one was home. Jessie was curled up on the couch where I was sleeping.

"Bella?" I heard from behind me. I had my phone in my hand, incase someone was about to murder me. Then I turned around and found Lexi, with her teddy bear in her hand. I sighed and picked her up.

"How are you?" I asked her.

"Where's everybody?" She asked, rubbing her eyes.

"I don't know. But we'll find them." That's when she started to cry. "Shh, it'll be okay, Lex. What's wrong?"

"I want my mommy back! I want daddy!" She sobbed. Less then a year ago, Cae and Lexi's parents had their lives taken away from them too. For a four year old, she seemed okay. Until now.

"I know," I said, rubbing her back. "I want my daddy back too. It's not fair."

"Bella, I woke up last night when Paul was babysitting me, and you guys probably just got home. But I heard you and Niall yelling at each other."

"Aw Lex," I said. "I'm so sorry. We just had a little fight. It's okay though."

"Will you guys still get married?" I stopped to think for a minute. What did I really want?

Then I found myself saying these words and smiling when I said them: "I hope so."

I got Lexi some cereal and she sat on the couch with Jessie, watching cartoons. I took my phone and called El. "Please pick up," I muttered to myself.

"Hello?" She said after three rings.

"Eleanor, where the hell is everyone?" I said.

"Bella hang on, Dani and Cae should be there in a second to explain what happened. But get dressed if you aren't already. "

I sighed and hung up the phone. What's wrong this time? "Lexi, if Cae and Dani come to the door, tell them I'm getting dressed." She nodded, laughing at Bugs Bunny, and I went upstairs to pulled on a hoodie and some sweatpants. What happened? Is it my mom? Is it Louis? Or Harry? Or Bee? Or Zayn? Liam? Did Niall come back last night? Did something happen to him? I got so overwhelmed with all the questions. But they kept coming. Did he get hurt? Did he... die? I sat in a chair by the window, and turned on the radio.

I went to take my ring in my hand, then I remembered that I gave it back to Niall last night. I jumped out of my seat when I saw Cae's car pull up in the driveway. I almost fell down the stairs, but caught myself at the last second. Dani hugged my when she came through the door, and I immediately knew there was something wrong with Niall. "Is he okay?" I asked.

She didn't answer, just kept hugging me. Cae joined our hug too. Lexi jumped off the couch and hugged Dani's legs. I pulled out of the group hug. "Is he okay? What happened?"

"Bella. Did you and Niall fight last night?" Cae asked.

"Yeah."

"That's what I heard then. I was sort of scared. Anyways, he left then, right? He drove away?"
