MADE A LITTLE COLLAGE FOR YOU, ENJOY ^.^

Louis' POV~
I knocked on his door, but it was softer than I intended. I heard a shuffle nonetheless, and waited only a few seconds before the door opened. I was met by familiar blue eyes, and soft blonde hair. "He's alive." I whispered, unable to hold it in any longer. His eyebrows furrowed in confusion but I only hugged him, making him stumble back before hugging me back.

"Uh, hey mate. What's going on?" His Irish voice soothing my frantic mind. I pulled back, my hands squeezing his shoulders excitedly.

"Donny, he's alive. He's not dead! Mason's seen him!" I shouted excitedly.

"Uh, mate. You were with him when he died. You saw his body." He said, skeptically.

"I know, but they must've brought him back once we reached the hospital. He went into a coma." I always wondered why it was a closed casket at the funeral. "But he's okay. He's awake now, and we have to save him. Blaire has him and that's why Josh went away with her, so he could bring Donny back to me!" I jumped into his arms and he caught me as I wrapped my legs around his waist and buried my face into his neck. "He's alive, Niall."

"Mate." He choked, his voice strained. I know he must think I should crazy. But he has to believe me. He just has to. I need his help. I need Donny. I need to see him, and kiss him, as he holds me in his arms. I know Mason said he lost his memory but he loves me, and I'm sure if he just sees me it'll all come rushing back to him.

"I promise you he's alive. Mason's seen him. That's where he disappeared to on Christmas." I said, my voice slightly muffled by his neck.

"Bloody hell." I hear him curse as he squeezes me tightly in his arms, the new finally settling in. "I can't believe he's actually alive, after all this time."

"I know." I sigh, closing my eyes. I finally felt a sliver of hope, after all this time in the darkness, Donny has made his way back to me. I hear a cough from the staircase behind Niall, and I open my eyes to see Liam. Suddenly I was swung around as Niall turned to face his boyfriend, and I hop down and turn around.

"I left for two minutes to use the loo and you're already in the arms of another man." He teases, a playful glint in his eyes.

"Technically he was in my arms. Not the other way around." Niall countered, crossing his arms, a smirk playing on his lips. "Besides, Lou had some rather big news." Liam quirked his eyebrow at me, and I flushed.

"Let me guess, you finally got your letter from Hogwarts and they want you to start your wizard training right away." He teased, crossing his arms, and I scoffed at him, placing a hand over my heart in mock hurt.

"I will have you know the letter has simply been lost in the mail. They will come for me eventually, I am convinced." I huff, dramatically crossing my arms.

"Oh yeah, because owl's take seven years to deliver a letter." He retorts.

"Okay, you two nerds. Enough." Niall sighs, exasperated as his hand flew to his forehead. "Louis came over to ask for our help."

"Help with what?" Liam asked, curiously.

"Donny's alive, and we have to rescue him from Blaire before she brain wipes him, because he just woke up from a coma and he lost his memory. But I think once he sees me he'll remember and we can finally be together!" I ramble, bouncing excitedly, and clasping my hands together. Liam looks at me as if I had just grown two heads. While I do admit, it does sound a bit crazy, but crazier things have happened.

"Uh." He looks at Niall dumbfounded. "Alright then. What have you got in mind?"

I launched into the plan Mason and I had discussed. Zayn and Harry were at the Malik Cabin, so we decided to leave them out of it, and fill them in when we went to visit on the 30th since it was only three days away. Liam had talked to Nick on the phone and he and Ricky both volunteered to help us. I think they wanted to make up for their mistakes, even though we had long since forgiven them. Not that I was complaining. We needed all the help we cold get.
