‘Fine.’ He says calmly and I give him a thankful smile. ‘Okay, I better go for real now.’ I say while getting up but he pulls me back. ‘Why?’ ‘I can’t stay here forever Niall.’ He pouts. ‘Yes you can.’

‘No, there’s so much I need to do. But we’ll still be going out this weekend right?’ His face lights up when I said that. ‘Of course!’ he shouts excited. We both get up and he leads me to the door.

I stop at seeing a picture of a familiar man. ‘Niall, who is this?’ I ask curiously. I see his eyes tear up a bit. Oh no.. It’s his dad.. ‘It’s my dad..’ He says while he takes the picture in his hands.

‘W-What happened to him?’ I never got to ask him that. ‘I don’t want to talk about it. It reminds me to much of that day.’ I pat his back a little to comfort him while he puts the picture back.

I keep staring at it. This man.. he looks so familiar. Oh no.. What have I done..

‘Sorry Niall, I have to go.’ I say and I leave as quick as I can, leaving a confused Niall.

Niall’s POV

Something is not right. She left too quickly. Everything was okay until she saw the picture of my dad. She looked shocked and sad all of the sudden. And in a way.. guilty? But why?

This time I’m not letting go. I need to know why she left like this. I need to follow her. She’s definitely not going home cause that’s the other way. As I walk closer, I see her talking to someone. Daniel? Why? She just said she didn’t want to talk to him ever again and yet here she is, talking to him.

No.. wait.. screaming? ‘It’s all your fault Daniel! Because of you.. he..’ she stops to get some air, to breath normal again. I can hear her sobbing. What is she talking about? ‘Because of you he’s dead! Why did you have to shoot him? He didn’t do anything to you! He was just doing his job!’

Who? I get a bad feeling from this but my mind keeps telling me to stay and listen. ‘Megan, calm down, what’s wrong? Why would you care about that man now? It has been 3 years. ‘

3 years? It has to be a coincidence.. She can’t be talking about my dad. Or is she? The picture.. Her shocked face.. No this can’t be true.. She can’t be the reason of his death..

I do remember a girl being at the place but maybe it isn’t her. I’m thinking about all the possibilities and then I remember her saying something.

‘At one of our jobs.. It got wrong and I saw this other side of him.. I didn’t want to be with him anymore.’ ‘Niall, please.. I don’t want to remember that day...’

Was this the day she was talking about?
