Dream Catcher (amnesia) - h.s.

6: "No! You're not with Eleanor anymore?"

At first, I'm a little bit overwhelmed by the amount of people in the cafeteria. I haven't seen a lot of people over the last time, and there are a lot of strangers here. The thought that keeps coming to my mind is the chance that I might know people here, but don't know of it, if that makes sense. On top of that, there are a lot of sick people, and I get very depressed looking at it. I try to put the thoughts to the back of my mind and enjoy the time with the boys.

We pick a table and I move myself over to one of the chairs.
"Do you want me to get you some food?" Harry asks me.

"Yes, thank you. That would be great." I smile at him.

"Liam, get me something? I'll stay here with Anna." Louis says. I thankfully smile at him.

"You know, I would offer to stay as well, but I actually really want to go check out the food." Niall says, and I chuckle. He seems like an honest guy. "Sure, go. I don't mind."

I'm left with Louis. For a second, I'm afraid things will get awkward. But then I have to tell myself again that it will be fine because he knows me pretty well.

"How are you, Anna? Like, really? I know this must be the weirdest and scariest thing you've ever been through." Louis asks, and he looks very genuine.

"It is. And I don't know how I'm feeling. The scariest part is that I don't know if I know myself anymore. But I guess that's where you guys come in, to tell me who I am."

"Of course. We'll stand by you guys. You know, Harry is my best friend, and he cares so much about you. We've all seen it over the last weeks. You make a really good couple. Or made, I don't know. Do you... Are you still in love with him?" He carefully asks.

"I really don't know. I can see why I fell for him in the first place. There are certain things I really like about him, and I do feel attracted to him. It's just that I can't fall in love this quickly. I only remember fangirling over him. And you guys." My cheeks flush when I tell him the fangirling thing. It's not really something you tell the people you were fangirling about.

"Well, I guess that is a good sign. Why wouldn't you fall for him again? You did it once. Might as well happen again." He shrugs. I like how he's taking it very lightly. Or trying to, for me. Either way, I appreciate it.

"Yeah, that's what I've been thinking."

"It'll be all right. Just give it time." He lays his hand on my shoulder, and I smile at him.

"Thanks, Louis. Now about you guys. What have I missed? What big things happened since we met, besides from Zayn leaving? And who of you are taken?" I'm actually really curious about these things.

"Let's see. We've released two albums and they've both done really well. We're playing stadiums now. I honestly can't think of a country we haven't been to. We made a couple music videos, which you should really see. Oh, we got to be a part of the Band Aid 30 single. You loved that song so much, you listened to it on repeat during the entire Christmas break last year, which we all spent in LA in Harry's house, by the way. We've won AMAs, BRITs, Billboard Music Awards and so much more, I can't even keep count anymore. Our lives have been absolutely crazy. Just now, now everything's going pretty well, we've been getting more time off, so we get to be home to see family and friends a little more often." He lists all this like it's the most normal thing in the world, but the sparkle in his eyes tells me that he still can't get his head around everything that has happened.

"It all sounds absolutely mental. Who would've thought you'd be so big one day?" I say, because I honestly didn't expect all this. "And girlfriends?" I ask again.
