~ Juli's P.O.V. ~
*** 2 months later ***
I haven't talked to any of the lads.
And to be 100% honest, it's killing me.
I'm now 8 months pregnant with little Madeline.
Part of me says that I shouldn't have left the way I did. At the very least, I should have said goodbye. But of course, I just left with no warning.
Since I've gotten to America, I basically changed everything. I got a new twitter, a new phone number, and a new college.
When I got the new twitter, it was for the purpose of keeping up with the boys without them knowing where I am. It was like I was trying to start a new life, but a piece of my old one kept pulling me in.
My Grandma has been amazing to me. I hadn't told her I was coming to America, and she took me in without hesitation. When I knocked on the door, the first thing she did was give me a big bear hug.
And the second thing she did... well... she made me explain why my belly was growing.
I told her everything. About carter and my experiences in London. Even if we were in a completely different country halfway across the world, it still felt like I was eleven years old again, talking everything out with one of the most important women in my life.
I thought that finally my life was back to normal, and I was beginning to forget about Niall.
But then one day, I was walking down the street of downtown Chicago when I noticed a picture on the cover of a magazine.
"International Pop-sensation Niall Horan in recovery after traumatic brain injury!"
What? Are you serious?
Did they mean he was out of the hospital?
Or had his memory back?
Immediately, I ran into the store and tried to find a copy of the magazine.
I flipped through numerous pages of gossip, fashion, and testimonials, none of which mattered to me. I stopped cold when I saw Niall's face plastered across a page.
My breath hitched in my throat as I read the article.
"Sources of Niall are saying that he is in complete recovery! Last week, while performing onstage in Japan, he fell doing on of his famous jumps, and landed right on his head. When he woke up, he asked for a young woman name "Juli". We do not know who this "Juli" is, because Niall's close friends are not revealing anything. And you might wonder how he was performing without a memory! Turns out, he actually listened to every song on repeat to memorize every word! Well I guess it worked out! America's Sweetheart Niall Horan is recovering, and that's the best thing we could ask for."
I felt like I was going to faint. One part of me was so excited, that Niall remembered me. The other part was horrified. Niall had treated me so horribly back home in London, and part of my brain could not let that go. I knew that he was a different Niall then, but it had already happened. There was nothing I could do to change the past. He was the reason I was here, in America. And it might have been the horrified part of me taking over, but i intended it to stay that way.
Away from Niall.
~ Niall's P.O.V. ~
"Come on dude we have to get out there." Zayn said from behind my door, startling me.
I tried to sound confident, but it just wasn't working. "Y-yeah. I'll be out in a m-minute." I said as my voice cracked.
Zayn creaked the door open a bit. "Hey are you alright?" He asked.
I put my head down. "Yeah. Just fine." I lied.
"Niall, I know that it's hard having to memorize these songs. Especially having such little time to do it."
He came and sat down in the chair across from me. "I don't know Zayn. Allie keeps telling me that I'm doing fine but-"
Zayn cut me off. "Forget about Allie. Who I really want to hear about is Juli. Niall, I'm not stupid. Right after she talked to you, she disappeared. None of us have seen her in two months. What happened in that room?"
I shrugged. "I don't really remember."
Lies. Lies. Lies.
"Did Allie say something to you?" He asked, as if he knew the whole truth.
I looked up at him. "She just told me that Juli was after the fame and the money. So I told her to leave. It's not that big of a deal."
Zayn shot up from his seat. "Niall are you serious? These past two months have been horrible for the lads and me because she's not here!"
"Listen, Zayn I didn't think it was that important. My girlfriend warned me who to stay away from, and Juli was at the top of the list. I don't want her scamming me for my fame and money!"
I could almost see Zayn's ears smoking up talking to me. "You've got it completely turned around! Allie is only dating you because they offered her a ton of money! ALLIE is the one scamming you for the fame and money! Don't you see?"
I tries to calm down a little bit. "Zayn, I think Allie genuinely supports me. She's the only person I can trust. She's the only one who cares about me."
"What about me? What about Liam, Louis, and Harry? We care! Ever since you lost your memory, none of us have been the same." Zayn choked out.
"But Allie is the only person in the world who believes that I can do great things. She's the only one who cares." I said quietly.
Zayn shook his head and took a step backwards towards the door. "You've got it all wrong. We all care about you. We all love you. But there's one person who cares more than all of us combined. And I'm sorry to say that you sent her far away from all of us."
"Zayn-"
"I got to go get ready for the show." Zayn said. "We have an hour before showtime." He said before closing the door.
I thought long and hard about what Zayn had said. After all, I had known him longer than Allie. Maybe he was right. Maybe Allie was the one scamming me.
I'm going to call her after the show to talk to her about everything.
Over the next hour, I practices my vocals and finished getting dressed. When they called us to curtain, I was on the verge of a panic attack. My nerves were all over the place.
"Hey, Mate you're going to be fine." louis said patting me on the back.
I took a deep breath.
Here we go.
I could hear all the screaming girls throughout the stadium. I stepped out onto the stage as the first song began. Maybe this wasn't so bad.
I got a couple songs into the show and I was really starting to get the hang of it.
But when it came time for my jump, I lost my footing when I landed. My feet slid out from under me and I hit my head. The last thing I remember was the lads coming towards me and the fans screaming out in terror.
Where am I?
There are people all around. I think they're talking about me.
"Get up, Niall. Get up!" I say in my head.
My eyelids were heavy as if they were being weighed down by bricks. I could not open my eyes.
Oh yeah. I need to call Allie as soon as I wake up. I've had the last of her crap. Trying to get to my riches and fame. How do I know it wasn't gee that sabotaged my car and put me in the hospital?
Wait a second.
How do I remember this?
Oh my god. I remember everything.
The last three years.
Allie and her scamming.
Juli. My precious Juli.
I have to fight my way to the surface.
Wake Up Niall Wake Up!
Somehow, I found the way to open my eyes.
"Hey, guys, he's awake." I heard Liam yell to the lads.
The boys entered the room and Eleanor came in close behind them.
I remember her, too.
Harry chuckled. "You to a pretty nasty fall to your noggin, but the doctor said you should be fine."
Everyone in the room was laughing.
But I, however, was not.
"Where is Juli?" I asked.
Everyone stopped laughing and looked at me with surprised eyes.
El covered her mouth slowly with her hand.
"Oh my god." She gasped. "He remembers."
