*2 weeks later*

"Are you sure?" I asked Jules

"Yes, I bought you an extra day." She smiled. I engulfed her in a big hug and buried my head into her chest like she was my big sister. She ran her hand down my hair.

"Your welcome, love." She pulled away giving my forehead a light kiss. She grabbed her clipboard and walked out of the room that had slowly become my home. I moved a chair to my normal spot an laid my head down on the bed, holding his hand. I felt something move underneath my grip. I looked up and saw his eyes start to flutter. Before I knew it he shot up in bed screaming his head off.

"CLAIRE!!!!!" He kept screaming it over and over again. The machines started rapidly beeping. He stared at me and screamed even more.

"WHO ARE YOU!!! GET OUT!!! SOMEONE HELP ME!!" He screamed. Two nurse ran into the room pining the confused boy down.

"Claire, get out!" The dark skinned nurse had called out. I stumbled out of the room and fell down scared at what had just happened. I fell down again trying to stand up.

"What'd just happen?" I asked myself. I walked up to the door trying to open it only to be engulfed by a pair of arms.

"LET ME GO!! HE NEEDS ME!!" I screamed but slowly fell back to the ground, trying to get the words out but they were only muffled by tears.

"Please, he needs me." I cried. The same arms had picked me up an started carring me away from the door. I looked up to see the one person that I had longed to see for months. The one person who had ignored me, the one person who couldn't look at me without breaking down. The person I had loved so long ago.

"Liam?" I asked trying to wipe my nose with my arm. He didn't look at me but only continued to walk forward.

"Why was he screaming at me?" I cried.

Liam only shrugged by placing me into the passengers seat.

"Liam-" I was cut off by him slamming the door and locking it. It was one of those moments were I couldn't unlock the car from the inside. Stupid child lock.

I started to scream as the tall boy walked back towards the hospital.

"Liam! Answer me!" I know he couldn't hear me but it was worth the try and I needed to get it out.

I sat in that car for over an hour before I saw the same person who had locked me in here coming towards the car. He opened the door and let me step out. I pushed Liam away from me an started running towards the hospital. I made it for like a minute until I felt his strong arms around me.

"Claire, listen to me!" He yelled. His hands were squeezing the life out of my arms. I kept trying to break free, I needed to get inside.

"Claire, it's no use! Louis doesn't remember you!" He yelled. My whole body stopped, I couldn't breathe. Liam had let go of me, I couldn't move. It's like I was glue to the street. I blocked all the noise around me and turned it off. The only thing I could hear was my own thoughts.

"He doesn't know me?"

"Why doesn't he remember me?"

"Why doesn't Louis know who I am?"

The same words kept replaying over and over in my head. The words that made me loose all control of my body, the words that made me feel useless and not worth it. All my work and everything I've done to keep him alive. Useless!

"Claire, it's no use! Louis doesn't remember you!"

That's the last thing I heard before Liam started to violently shake me.

"Claire, The doctor has answers, we need to go talk to him." He took my hand and lead me towards the hospital.

"Hello, my name is Doctor Bennet. You must be Louis girlfriend Claire. Am I right?" I nodded as he lead us into a small room with a desk and two chairs behind it. He sat down and let us sit in the two empty seats.

"I want to know why Louis doesn't recognize me." I tried not to yell but it came out in a strong but yet quiet voice. The man nodded and pulled out a bunch of papers.

"The thing is Claire, he does remember you-"

"Then why did he start freaking out!?"

"He remembers you but it's not you."

"What do you mean 'it's not me'. "

"Did Louis have anybody before you or at least lost a loved one before you two met?" It took me a second to think about his question. I quickly nodded when I had come up with something.

"His ex, Eleanor Calder. Why?"

"I think that Louis has replaced your face with Eleanor's. In his report he thinks your dead."

"What?" My voice had come out in a soft tone.

"Here's what he said.

When I had been shot Claire came to my side but when I had started to black out I heard another gun shot and Claire was pulled away from me."

Louis had thought that I'd been shot? He thought I was dead?

The doctor continued

"What he's saying is that when he heard the gun shot he thought it was you. When he was getting pulled away he thought that you let go, but really it was the paramedics taking him away. In his mind, the pain was to much, he couldn't bare to think of you being dead so he replaced your image with somebody else's so he wouldn't have to face the truth. At least that's what we are getting at. We also want Eleanor to come in and talk to him. She needs to explain that you didn't die. We think it'd help."

"What about everything else? Will he remember that I am Claire!?"

"I'm not really sure. All he knows you as is a friend of the boys girlfriends, that he used to hangout with." The doctor wiped his mouth, I felt Liam grab my hand. I couldn't take it. I wanted to let my eyes fulfill their waterfall. But I couldn't.

"Bring her in." I gritted my teeth together as I said those terrible three words.

So why have y'all thought so far of the sequel!?!?!? I had thought of this chapter while I was in the shower and I started crying when I was writing it, because it breaks my heart. This chapter sorta sucks cause it didn't go as planned from what was in my head. But it's still pretty good. I updated today cause I promised a friend. Look out for my next chapter this Wensday and Thursday.
