Julie POV:

I looked at him as if he was stupid. I mean, he wasn't stupid but the comment he just made sure made him look like one. I looked at Niall and back at Liam but none of them made the effort to say something.

"What the hell do you mean that's not Niall?" I questioned him. "That's obviously him!"

"No, no!" Liam said quickly, groaning. He pushed Niall towards me, Liam right behind him. He sighed and just kept his eye contact with me. "This is obviously but-"

"But?!" I interrupted him getting impatient to what he had to say.

"But, he has a mind of a stranger."

"Mind of a stranger? What do you mean?"

"I'm brainwashed!" Niall finally spoke up. I looked at him, giving him a weird look. What the hell did he mean he was brainwashed? I looked over at Liam who simply just nodded.

I heard the door opening and several footsteps of different shoes dragged on the floor. The living room was now crowded. Alex, Harry, Zayn, Perrie and Danielle were now standing quietly.

"Sorry." Alex mumbled. "We just didn't have anything to do really."

"I mean, we're literally next door." Perrie mentioned. I gave out a small laugh, nodding my head.

"Oh no, it's fine." I smiled. I turned my attention back on Niall who was fiddling with his hands nervously. "Niall here was just about to tell me something. Right Niall?"

"Uh..." He mumbled, fiddling faster with his hands. He looked down, more nervous that you could see the sweat starting to form on his forehead. I could see his body shake a bit. I started to feel bad, my heard pounding at the sight of Niall like that.

"Niall.." I called out to him. "Ni, calm down.."

He backed up a bit before he was leaning on the wall for support. I looked at Liam again, trying to figure out what was wrong with Niall but all he did was stare at the break down Niall. Before I could even turn my head back, I heard multiple gasp and a loud thump. I looked down to the floor to see Niall lying on the guard unconscious.

"Niall!" I cried, running over to his restless body. I grabbed onto his shoulders shaking him violently to wake up. I looked over to everyone else who was just looking not even bothered to move. "Can someone help me?! Don't just stand there!"

Holly POV:

Minutes turned into hours. Claire was getting aggravated by the second. I held onto the gun in my hand for hours and no doubt I knew had a cramp in my hand. My body was just aching by just seating on this wooden chair for five hours. Claire could of at least planned this out so we had some type of escape before people began to wonder why gun shots were fired.

"God! Where is he?!" Claire yelled to no one in particular.

"You could of just planned this." I sighed trying not to let her hear me.

"Are you blaming this on me?" She turned around to look at me. If looks could kill, or if she wanted to and didn't need help she would of killed me already.

"No." I lied and started shaking my head. "I didn't say anything."

"Right-" She stopped as we both heard a car door slam coming from in front of the house. She looked panicked but recovered her face with a mad expression so I couldn't see how scared she really was. "Hide!"

I looked around the room for something that couldn't make me too uncomfortable that would probably make me yelp from pain and will eventually give us up. I ran behind the couch while Claire hid in the closet along with the gun in hand. The door slowly opened, Jason's black figure walking in.

"Yeah, I'm home now." He said, setting down his bags. "Yeah we fucked a couple of times. That bitch is so done." He laughed, and sat down turning the tv on. "She's pretty good. Flexible too."

I heard the closet door squeak and out came Claire, holding the gun in front of her and towards Jason. I said in my spot making sure not to cry by how scared I am. I heard shuffling on the couch and Claire just looking at me giving me a nod.

"Hold on, I'm about to kill someone." Jason voice echoed the place. My heart stopped and confusion took place. What does that mean? Before I knew it I felt my body drag up and my arms pulled back. Claire's evil smile crept up and her gun was now aimed at me. "Hi Holly."

"What's going on?!" I cried, my arms aching for being pulled to far back.

"Oh Holly, sweet sweet Holly." Claire laughed, making me angry wanting to just get out of Jason's grip to smack some sense into her. "You knew your job for me would have to end."

"Are you saying.."

"Yup." She walked up to me, gun in hand, tracing it to my face. She smiled at it got close to my temple, making me a bit nervous as to what she would do next. This fucking bitch. "Bye."

The last thing I heard was a shot fire and a small evil laugh.

Niall POV:

***

"Babe. Please wake up." I heard Julie's soft voice. I opened my eyes to see myself laying next to her in bed. Her smiled instantly made me smile with her. She had that effect on me. "I missed you Niall, I thought you left me."

"I would never leave you. I love you." I reassured her. She giggled before pecking my lips softly.

"No you don't." She said with a smile still on her face. I was a bit confused but my smile soon faded as hers was still planted on her face. "You left me."

"I didn't leave you, I'm right here."

"But you left. Our memories, our love. It's all gone. You left Ni." She spoke softly. "You left us."

"Us?"

"Me, Lily, Brendon. You left all of us. You just left like that, where were you Niall?!" She began to cry. My heart began to ache and now my body wasn't able to moved. "Why?!"

"I don't know Julie! I really don't know why happen! Please don't cry! I never left! I'm still here!" I cried. Trying to break free from this curse that wouldn't let me hold her.

"Now your losing me. Niall.. Your losing me..."

***

I heard beeping sounds and chairs shuffling and being dragged around the floor. I already knew where I was at and I hated it. I tried to move to a different position but it wouldn't let me. This just reminded me of my dream not to long ago, and now I'm scared for my life. My eyes don't want to open and I'm scared.

I tried again but the won't budge. Just concentrate Niall. You can do this. Just think of the people you want to see. Liam, Zayn, Harry, Louis, Eleanor, Danielle, Perrie, and most importantly Julie and my kids. Just do it, try harder.

My eyes fluttered open to see lifeless body on chairs and I recognized Julie's body on the bed next to mines. I spotted Lily's brown hair next to Louis who was sleeping awkwardly on the chair. I shuffled around being able to move a bit and relief set in. I could move my body and the dream was just there to scare me.

"Daddy?" I heard Lily's voice. I snapped my head to look at her. Her blue eyes similar to mines pleading for me to say something right.

"Yes baby, it's me." I felt the tears forming just by seeing her face lit up and crawl off of Louis. She opened her arms for me as I did for her. I missed this feeling and I sure as hell wouldn't trade it for anything.

"Niall?" I heard Julie's sleepy voice. I turned to look at her while Lily was still in my arms.

"Babe, am I late for the date?" I asked her. Her face frown but quickly recover with tears. "Niall you're back!"

She got off the bed and ran towards me, engulfing me in a tight hug along with Lily. I missed this.
