"Laura, please!" I beg immediately realizing what she was trying to attempt.

How could she even begin to think about suicide? How could she do this to me? How selfish can she be? How long will it take for her to realize I'm doing all these things for her own greater good?

I watch as she slowly takes a step over the cliff when a figure abruptly comes from behind me to pull her back to the edge of the cliff. I watch as she turns to look at the figure ready to attack, probably thinking it was me, when she and I both realized who it really was.

"Niall?" She asks with teary eyes glancing to me before saying so.

My eyes are wide, maybe even wider than hers at the sudden intrusion.

How is he even alive? I killed him! With my own hands!

I watch as Laura quickly stumbles forward and into his arms as she passes out most likely due to the surprise of seeing someone who she thought was dead.

My shock soon turns to anger as I watch Niall cradle Laura in his arms.

"Give her to me," I say with through my teeth, trying to keep my anger to a minimal.

Niall gives me a once over, chuckling and shaking her head, walking past me and into the forest.

"Excuse me, when I speak I expect to answered." I say becoming more agitated, quickly following behind them.

"Excuse me but the last time I checked, Laura just tried to kill herself because of you, so I'm gonna say, leaving her with you would be an awful idea." Niall finally speaks.

"No she did it because of you! If you wouldn't have tried looking for her and ending up here, I wouldn't have killed you and Laura wouldn't be so sad." 

"Oh please don't say I'm to blame, just own up to your own stupidity." Niall says continuing through the forest.

"My stupidity? You're the idiot that got yourself kil--" I cut myself off, "Wait, how are you even here?" I paused, "What are you?" I ask looking at him as he held Laura even tighter.

"I'm surprised you hadn't already taken notice." He says with a smirk.

"What?" I asked completely confused.

He turns to look at me, stopping in his tracks. "You seriously don't recognize me?" He chuckles at my obviously puzzled face. "Okay, picture me a few years younger with dark brown hair, along with some groovy orange skin." He says, intently watching my face before setting Laura down onto the forest floor. 

I furrow my eyebrows, trying to remember, telling myself that Niall is insane and that I should snatch Laura and book it out of the forest, that is, until a memory flashed before my eyes.

"I cannot believe you're going back to that atrocious galaxy!" My mum calls out from another room of of our condominium, as I was in my room, packing my things.  I chuckle to myself, shaking my head at her ignorance. She just didn't understand, although I had tried to explain why I'm doing this many times.

"Mom, you act as though we're never going to see one another again. I gave you that mechanism that allows you to call and see me whenever you want." I reply walking out of room and to her, carrying my bags in each hand. 

She sighs, turning to me and softly smiling, "I know, I just hate to see you leave, again."  

I smile back at her, setting my bags onto the floorboards and walking to her and engulfing her in my arms, "I get it, and I love you too." I wink at her as she embraces me again. "Besides that, what do you find so atrocious about Earth along with the rest of that galaxy?"
