Lena's POV

Alan? Who in the hell was Alan?

Was he the guy who came to me in the hospital?

I chewed on my lip while I thought about this. First, I found that Liam was still lying to me about Harry. Then, I find another person he was keeping from me.

The worst part was, Harry didn't tell me anything either. No, it wasn't his job to help me regain all of my memory, but he should've at least told me about himself!

I needed answers. I grabbed the picture and stormed downstairs, ready to find my brother. Keira wasn't here. No one was. It was me and Liam. I wasn't holding back this time.

"Liam!" I yelled.

I made it into the kitchen when I saw someone else standing next to my brother. It was his wife, Sophia. It was Harry.

"Lena, what's wrong?" Liam asked.

I met Harrys eyes, and the strangest thing happened.

Lena!" he cried as I pushed the doors open.

Out in the street, in the pouring rain, I fished around for my phone in my bag.

"Lena!" Harry cried, stepping out into the rain without a thought.

"What?" I snapped.

"Where are you going?" he demanded.

"To see Liam."

"Visiting hours are over."

"I'll pay my way through then."

He caught my wrist.

"You don't need to be out alone." He said.

"I'll call Paul. Or someone." I said.

"I don't trust Paul."

"You trust him to take care of you."

"I don't care about me!" he yelled.

I stared at him. I was getting drenched, but I wasn't in the mood to care.

"I don't care about me. I care about you. You, and only you, Lena. Don't you fucking get it?!" he exclaimed.

I was also not in the mood to be yelled at.

"What, Harry?! What is there to get?" I demanded.

"I love you!" he shouted, and the silence that rung after was louder than he was.

" I love you." He whispered at last.

I was shocked.

"You....said that kissing me was a bad idea." I said.

"Lena, I kissed you angrily. I kissed you to try and show you my feelings instead of telling you. I'm stupid." He said.

I shook my head. "Then how should you have done it?" I demanded.

Suddenly he was kissing me.

His lips were soft and hungry. He kissed me like he's been through hell, and this was his last ditch effort to get back to heaven. And it was working, even though he though it wouldn't.

His hands were still on my shoulders. But I wanted more. I needed more. I flung my arms around his neck and kissed him hard.

"Touch me." I whispered. "Harry, touch me like you mean it."

He moaned against my mouth and his hands slid down my body. The rain was pouring. This moment was absolutely perfect.

I gasped as I received the full effect of the flashback. Never had kissing anyone else been like that. Not Justin. And I had a feeling not with anyone Id been with before Justin-or Harry-either.

"Lena, what's wrong?" Harry asked.

Liam glared at him. I looked at my brother with a glare.

"You lied to me. Again." I said.

"What are you talking about?" Liam demanded.

"About Harry! I saw the pictures!" I cried. Then I showed him the one of Alan as well. "And you lied about him too! Is he the one who came to me in the hospital?"

"Lena, there's a reason I didn't tell you-" liam began.

"Is he the one?!" I yelled.

"No." Harry said.

"How would you know?" I demanded.

"Alan couldn't have come to you in the hospital. Because he's dead, Lena." Harry said.

I was shocked out of my anger for a moment.

"Dead?" I echoed.

"He died in a fire that nearly killed you and Harry. He was working with our parents. I told you about them. You were pregnant with Keira at the time." Liam said.

"Why were we all in the fire?" I asked. Then I gasped. "oh my god. He's Keira's father, isn't he?"

"No!" Harry and Liam both exclaimed.

"No, Ashton really is Keira's father." Liam said.

"Lena, Alan was a monster. And insane. He kidnapped you. When the two of you actually dated-which is when those photos were taken-he abused you. I can't blame Liam for not telling you about him." Harry said.

"And what about you? Why didn't he tell me about you?" I demanded.

Harry turned to my brother. "That's why I'm here, actually." He said.

Liam sighed. "Harry is the reason you were in the accident." He said.

"What?!" I demanded.

"He broke your heart, Lena. And because of that, you ran. You were driving and not paying attention to where you were going. You almost died because Harry is a monster." Liam said, glaring at harry.

"I never meant to hurt her!" Harry yelled. "I love her!"

"Loved." I said.

"No. I love you, Lena. I love you, and I'm the one who made liam tell you everything. I told him that I would tell you if he didn't. Only to find out he didn't do what he said he would." Harry said.

"What else do I not know?" I demanded.

My brother stayed silent, so I turned to harry.

"He was telling the truth about what he did tell you. But he didn't tell you about Alan, he didn't tell you about me, and he didn't tell you about the deal."

"What deal?" I asked.

Before harry could say another word, liam grabbed his collar and slammed him into the wall.

"Tell her and I'll end you." He growled.

"Get off of me!" Harry cried. He shoved my brother off him and I stepped between them. Liam wouldn't hurt harry if it meant hurting me.

"What deal?" I repeated.

"Liam made a deal with Justin, to keep you away from me. After your accident, I wanted to start over. Make you forgive me and love me again. But Liam wouldn't have it. Liam payed Justin two million dollars to be with you, and after time, payed him two million more to propose. Somewhere along the way, Justin fell for you. But make no mistake, he still gets a check from Liam every month." Harry said.

I felt like the breath had been knocked out of me. I whirled, slapping my brother in the face as hard as I could.

Liam didn't say a word.

"I can't believe you." I said.

I couldn't even look at him. So, I walked out the door without looking back.
