-Alexis' P.O.V-

I was sitting near the bar, facing Zac and some other crew members. I didn't quite like drink so I just had mocktail.

Zac got up to go greet his friend he spotted on the dance floor. Within a minute or so I felt someone tap my shoulder.

And a familiar accent called my name,"Alexis?"

I turned around, seeing someone I didn't expect to be here.

My heart felt as though it forgot to beat, water drops gathered my eyes.

"N-Niall?" I spoke in a voice that may not be heard.

"Alexis You, Oh God its actually-" I didn't let him finish.

5 years later I still was mad at him.
What made him not face me after that night? Did he regret it so much?

I grabbed my phone, and walked out.

"Alexis! Please stop!" He said as he battled the crowd and followed me.

I headed for the exit, holding back my tears.

-Nialls P.O.V-
I called out to her, she left me ignored. She just paced fast towards the exit, while I pushed through the people following her.

Niall she hates you.
My mind said.

"Alexis please!" I shouted.

"What do you want from me Niall?" She stopped outside the door, tears forming around her eyes.

"Alexis I'm sorry, I-"

"You what? You expect me to forgive you when you were a coward 5 years back?" She said.

I stayed silent.

"None of your sorries are turning the past that has haunted me for years back!" She yelled, and begun walking.

I walked behind her.
"Alexis,hear me out please!"

"I don't want to. You are nobody to me!" She said.

My heart shattered. She walked away, and I let her. I simply watched her go.

I lost the girl I loved, I lost her forever.
Niall you're stupid.

I turned around to go back to the hotel when I heard a girl's scream. "Alexis!" I panicked.

I ran towards the direction where she went.

I seen Alexis crying as she was held by mysterious man in black, who had a knife held near her neck.

"Hey you!" I screamed.

He noticed me, and took the knife closer to her neck.

"Niall don't come any-" He held her mouth, not letting her to speak.

"Leave her," I yelled. He took the knife closer and drew a tiny slit near her neck.

While people began to gather,
Alexis bit his hand and ran towards me.

"Stay behind me," I told her.
She held onto me tight. I took a step closer and he begun to run.

I tried chasing him but he escaped.

I ran to Alexis, she was wounded.

"OH My God Alexis you alright?" I asked.

"I'm fine d-don't worry about me." She said touching her neck in pain as blood flowed out, and I seen a scar on her hand that was bleeding too.

"OF COURSE YOU ARE NOT FINE!" I yelled.

"Niall stop acting like you care when you don't." She said.

"I don't care what you say, I have to wrap some bandages over these,come with me."

"No, I won't. Who do you think you are?" She snapped.

"A guy who just saved your life and instead of being thankful, you're acting like a mean bitch!"

Couldn't believe all that I just said,but it probably worked. I held her hand and dragged her. I took her to my hotel room and wiped the blood off her wound.

"This better be fast. Zac must be worried about-" She whined until her phone rang.

"Answer it." I said when I seen the name flashing up as Caleb❤

"Excuse me for a minute." She said and she stepped out into the balcony.

I sat on the bed and waited for her.

-Alexis P.O.V-

"Hey Love, I miss you so much!" I said.

"Alexis we..we need to talk." He sounded serious.

"Yes, tell me." I said.
