NIALLS P.O.V.....

I nearly fainted again. They... They didn't know who Delilah was? But... We just went to see her... We were just driving to see her... None of it makes sense!

Well, my whole life doesnt make sense, but this... This is not right at all.

I jumped out of the car and sprinted into the hospital. I ran to the cafeteria, maybe she's in here.

Lucky me, there she was, eating a sandwich. Good news, I found her. Bad news... I remember she hates sandwiches.

Something is definitely up.

I run to her, not caring about the people in my way. She sees my coming and her eyes widen. I smile. she must remember.

But then she screams.

I run faster. When I finally make it to her, I grab her arm. "What happened?! Why did you scream?!" I manage, as I was out of breath. Hey, the cafeteria is a big place, and I ran up 2 floors to get here.

"Y-You're Ni-Niall Hora-an!" She stutters.

Oh shit.

"You don't remember me?" I ask softly.

She gives me a confused look. "We've never met... I think I would remember that." She cracks a smile.

"No no no no no no no no-" I can't stop saying no. Fuck. Now Harry, Louis, Zayn, Liam, and now even Delilah don't remember. I need to stop this.

Now.

I take Delilah's shoulders in my hands. I take a deep breath. I am about to tell her every thing.

"Delilah- Listen to me."

DELILAHS P.O.V....

*the day after Niall passed out*

I layed in bed. I had one hand on my scar on my chest and the other was on the wound on my neck. Who was that man, cutting my flesh? He was the one after me, but I don't know why. I've been thinking, and he believe he is the murderer of my father.

A tear slips out the corner of my eye. "I miss you Dad..." I whisper to myself. I still remember that day... the day I lost everything...

*flashback*

"So sweetie, how did you like your 7th birthday party yesterday?" My daddy asked me. I jumped up and down and gave him a thumbs up. He chuckled at my enthusiasm.

Mommy walked in. "Hey Lilah, wanna go get some ice cream?" She asks. Of course I agree.

Daddy stays home. He calls a family friend, I can't remember who. But its my friends daddy and they might be coming over soon. That sets a smile on my face, as I'm excited to see him.

The ice cream shop is just down the street from our house, I had my party here yesterday. I get a small cherry cordial cone. It's always been my favorite. Mommy gets a small bowl of chocolate ice cream. I skip out of the shop, holding her hand as we go.

"Isn't today perfect?" I ask my mommy. Shes about to answer but then we here the sirens.

We saw smoke rising up from the direction of our house. The color drains from mommy's face. We run to the house. a fire is burning it down. I scream. "My daddys in there!!" I yell before yanking my hand out of my mothers.

"Lilah, no!" She screams but I ignore her. I need to get my daddy!

I hold my breath as I run through the smoky house. He was in the conference room when we left. I go there.

I don't understand when I see two peole in the room. One of them dead, a crimson smile finished with a knife buried deep in his throat. The others hands are bloody. I look at the bloody handed stranger. "What happened to my daddy?!" I scream. The man chuckles.

"He got what was coming to him." The man says simply. I look at the knife in my dads neck. What did he do to deserve this?

I run and lay by my fathers side. I look at the man with the bloody hands.

"Why is the house on fire?" I ask.

"I don't really know. I just... felt like it." The man shrugs and gives me a devious grin.

"See ya soon, short stack."

The man runs away. Wheres he going?

I look back down at my daddy. Hes coughing up blood. I scrunch my nose at the awful sight.

"Daddy..." I whisper.

"I know sweetie" he manages. He takes one last breath and uses it to say:

"Listen to me, don't trust that man. Do what your mother tells you. Stay with-"

*flashback over*

I sit up, gasping and sweating. Why can't I remember who to stay with? Who am I supposed to trust?

I start to cry when I hear a rustling. Its coming from above.

The air shaft.

He kicks open the grate and lands on the floor. He looks at me with that same devious grin that he wore all those years ago.

My fathers murderer raises the butt of his knife above me and slams it down on my head.

And now I don't remember any of it.
