Payton's POV

*1 week later*

   After we woke up that morning Harry had told me everything. He told me about his sister's death and how it effects his nightmares. It horrified me that he had to go through that. He was also shocked when I told him that I had seen his sister at the boxing match. He told me that he hasn't seen her since it happened and that he couldn't believe she actually came to watch him.

But he doesn't really know why he calls out for me in his nighmares. And he says that before he met me that they were so much worse. It was so bad that when they went on tour the boys had to constantly wake him up in the middle of the night. He said that after that night he pretty much just lived on his own and took care of himself which made my heart swell.

But right now I am walking down the street to head to star bucks before I start my morning classes. I started back my studying course last week and I quickly settled in. Since I advance in math and science I only have one class with Riley. She mainly advances in literature and english.

As I was walking down the sidewalk I realized that it was actually starting to warm up a bit but not completely. I was still a bit cold and was convincing myself that I needed to buy a car. I mentioned it the boys and they tried to buy one for me but I wouldn't let them. My parent's though actually gave me a decent amout of money so I could pay some as well.

I have been trying to keep in touch with my brother but he has been very shut off lately. My parents said that me losing my memory really effected him. I felt so bad when they told me that. I can only imagine how close we were.

When I walked into the store the warmth overwhelmed me as I breathed in the sweet coffee smell. Even though I love coffee I decided to get a cup of hot chocolate. Once I got my cup I looked down and saw the light brown swirls and it just made my mouth water.

I looked down at my watch and realized that I had to be in my first class in ten minutes which sent me into panic mode. Even though I could get there in time I always wanted to get there a minute or two early. As I rushed down the side walk I bumped into a blonde headed boy. When he turned around his bright green eyes lit up then dulled.

"Um sorry" I said looking down

"Oh it's no problem. Um I guess you don't remember me anymore but my name is Conner" he said sticking his hand out.

"We went to school together" he said smiling as we shook hands

"How did you know about my injury?" I asked

"It was all over the news! You didn't see it?"

"Um no" I said smiling

"Oh well you were all over it. But I am glad you recovered. So welcome back" He said smiling

"Thanks. Are you in the studying class?"

"Yea I was actually in that plane crash with you. I even helped you with Jake. Oh and by the way he really wants to thank you" he told me

"Oh. And who is Jake?"

"Oh sorry I forgot, he went to school with you too. After the plane crashed a wing landed on him and you actually helped him survive."

"Really?!" I said shocked

"Yea that was on there too! You were really a hero Payton." he said looking down at me

"Aww thanks" I said hugging him

After we hugged we talked on the way to our first class. Apparently we have been friends since pre-k. And he was not only friends with me, he was also really close with my brother. But I was mainly distracted while he was talking by how I helped Jake. I couldn't believe I actually saved his life!

"Hello?" Conner said smiling at me

"Oh sorry what did you say?" I said blushing

"I was just asking if you and Riley were still friends."

"Oh yea we naturally clicked back together but I still feal like she is holding back almost. It really effected her and I can't help but feal bad."

"Oh well just be glad you guys are friends again." he said smiling once again

After that we just kinda small talked until we had to make our seperate ways. I actually had alot of classes with him but he was better at english and he had alot of classes with that as well. His first class was english and mine was science. I was never good at english.

I don't know how I speak the language actually. But I was always good at math and science. I don't know why either. Supposedly those are the two hardest but I don't see how.

 My first classes flew by but the last ones were painfully slow. During the classes I would sit next to Conner and Riley and we would talk when the teacher was finished. We even had lunch together. But I had finally finished my last class and was heading home. Riley had to stay to work on a prodject and Conner had to stop by the library so I was walking by myself, again.

I never really like being alone and I don't know why. I am one of those people that are always with a group of people. And normally I don't have to worry about being alone because you can never really get alone time when your friends are One Direction!

When I had finally reached the house the phone started to ring. When I walked over and looked at the caller I.D and I didn't recoginize it so I didn't pick up, thinking that it was just a wrong number. Then once I sat down it started to ring again from the same number. Getting frusterated I picked up.

"Hello?"

"Hello Payton." Some one said roughly into the phone

"W-who is this?" I asked getting nervous

"Just one of Harry's old friends. Is he there?"

"How did you get this number?" I asked getting suspicious

"Just answer the question!"

"N-no why?" I asked getting extremely nervous

But he didn't answer all he did was hang up. I just stood there frozen. Did he know where I lived? I decided to text Harry immediatley.

Harry can you please come over?-Payton:)

Sure babe is there something wrong?-Harry My heart fluttered at the mention of that name

Some guy called and he asked if you were here and when I told him no he just hung up. I am getting nervous. -Payton:)

I will be right over.-Harry

I didn't know what else to do so once I locked the doors and shut the windows I just sat on the couch and waited. Just as I was about to call Harry there was a knock at the door. I was so relieved when I heard him knock. When I walked over I stopped right in front of the door and prepared myself for the wrath of Harry. But when I opened the door it wasn't Harry.

"Nice to see you again Payton."
