Niall's P.O.V:

Tears brimmed my blue eyes as I looked down at Maya. A white bandage was wrapped around her head with a small bloodstain on the back, a large bandage that was wrapped around her chest could be seen through the hospital gown she was wearing and her face had a few bruises and cuts on it, but that was it. Maya looked so helpless, and the fact that she remembers nothing almost broke me.

"Mae...Maya, this is Harry, Louis, Liam and Zayn, my band mates. We're in a band called One Direction" I say carefully, knowing I was walking on thin ice. Anything could trigger her memory again, so I had to be careful.

"Band mates...? One Direction...? Niall, what's going on?" Maya asks me hesitantly, nervously glancing at the guys who were standing at the edge of her bed, while I was beside her. The doctors had taken her contact lenses away so I could see her beautiful light brown eyes again, but they didn't match her dyed black hair. Her eyes were different though, almost sad and lifeless, the exact opposite of what I used to know.

My mouth instantly opened to reply, but at that exact moment a doctor walked in, clipboard in hand. "Miss Michael's, I see you are awake" The doctor says, glancing down at his clipboard to make sure he had the correct last name. I just rolled my eyes and either the doctor noticed or he wasn't paying attention.

"Yeah, I am. Would someone please tell me what's going on and why I'm here." Maya asks, her voice desperate. All I wanted to do was hold her in my arms and tell her everything was going to be ok, but I knew it wouldn't be. Things were different now, not because we had found each other again, but because she didn't remember the past few years. It hurt me and made me happy, all at the same time which just made me feel guilty. I shouldn't be feeling happy when the love of my life was in hospital with memory loss, but I was. Only because I kept telling myself we could start over, me actually being there for her. Life wasn't like that though and I knew that eventually she would get her memory back and go back to hating me while I'd have to leave.

During the time I was thinking to myself, the doctor had explained everything to Maya and the boys, I was the only one still clueless. As soon as the doctor left, I turned to the boys and immediately they seemed to know what I wanted.

"There's good news and there's bad news mate" Liam says, a slight frown on his lips. I could see the care and worry for Maya in his eyes, having only just found her sister and almost losing her, it would be hard on anyone. My blue eyes never left Liam's brown ones though, almost identical to his sisters, mine almost urging him to tell me what's wrong. You could almost cut the knife with a butter knife as Liam sucked in a breath and started his explanation.

Liam's P.O.V:

"The good news is, the bullet wasn't fatal and it didn't cause any problems, they got it out fast enough" I explained to Niall, whose blue eyes were glancing at all the boys and Maya. The love for my sister was clear in Niall's eyes, but it seemed as though I was the only one to notice this. I could see his body instantly tense when he realises I hadn't listed one of her major injuries.

"The bad news, when she fell, something caused her brain to somehow prevent her from remembering things. All the memories are still there, but she apparently can't access them" I say, sadly watching Niall's eyes widen and my sisters become filled with curiosity. Niall knew exactly what this meant, but Maya of course, didn't.

"Niall, what does that mean?" Maya asked Niall, who's blue eyes were now glassy with tears, they almost looked like the ocean in a way. A sigh could be heard from Niall who turned to my sister, taking her small hand gently in his.

"It means that you have all your memories, of the boys, of me. You just can't access them for some reason" Niall explains gently to Maya, as if he didn't want to break her with his words. Maya nodded slightly, but that was her fatal mistake.

Due to the problem she currently had, any major head movement would do damage so when she nodded, something happened. Maya's body instantly tensed and her mouth opened in a small 'O' before she fell limp. My eyes widened and I quickly reached over to press to call button. Seconds passed by which felt like hours, but eventually a swarm of nurses and doctors piled into the room, pushing the lads and I out of the room.

Niall looked like a mess, frantically passing just outside the door, his face filled with worry and pain. After a while, a doctor came out. "How is she?" Niall asked before I had the chance to.

The doctor sighed and looked down slightly before returning his gaze to Niall's. "She put further damage on her brain and at this point we do not know if she has effected her memories. All we can do now is try and hope for the best" The doctor explains, all of our mouths opened. Niall had to sit down and I immediately sat beside him, rubbing his back soothingly.

"It'll be ok mate, all we can do is try" I say to him, though my voice was giving away the fact that I wasn't sure about whether what I was saying was true or not. Niall's blue eyes met mine and he nodded hesitantly before placing his head in his hands and staring at the ground.

And that chapter is done!! How did everyone like it, was it good enough? Sorry if it was too short, I'm trying the best I can. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated!!
