Zayn's Point Of View 

My mind was wandering as I stared at the ceiling. After an hour being stuck on this plane, I believe I had counted every tile that was plastered above me. Taking a small glance over at Lindsay, she seemed absorbed in her book. Her nose was stuffed into the pages, and her grip that held the book looked tight. Must be good.

My phone had buzzed every so often, leaving me nothing but to check my phone to see who it was. But once seeing, I ignored the rest of the texts after that. It seemed like everything, and everyone, had been getting on my nerves lately. For instance, Perrie. She wouldn't leave me alone. I wouldn't be too surprised if she was texting Lindsay. And then there was Liam too. Including Louis. Both of them had been mad at me for my actions after the restaraunt. It's not like I was doing anything wrong.

Niall and Harry fell under the category of undecided. Harry seemed like the type to be upset over something like this, but he was good friends with Lindsay. Then again so was Liam, so never mind that. Niall was a gentle human being and he probably wanted nothing to do with this. And I didn't blame him. Just thinking about this whole situation made me realize how big of trouble I was actually in. I wasn't thinking at the time when I had spent a whole day with Lindsay. It was just so much fun, I got caught in the moment. 

The one person who wasn't annoying me was Lindsay. She was so care free about everything, and that's how I wanted to be. To not have one care in the world, and to do as I please. Due to her actions, I'm sure she would be under much more strict control. And I felt sorry for her. After her move from England to New York, Liam had told me how excited she was that she was no longer under the contract with Phil. He explained to me how laid back Anne was about all of this, and it made me happy to hear that she was happy.

The two months after Lindsay had moved away from me were brutal. I would spend long days in my room, and then carry my nights at clubs getting drunk. It seemed whenever I drank, I was forgetting everything. And I no longer had to worry about her. But the head ache in the morning always brought them back. I could never truly escape them. I'd have nightmares every now and then when I didn't come home drunk. And it was always Liam who woke me up and comforted me. It was the same dream every night. And thinking about that dream, brought me back to Lindsay's dream she had that Nancy told me about. I would have to pry it out of her somehow.

Sometimes I would wake up screaming alone. Because after a while of this repeated scene, even Liam got tired of waking up and caring for me. And when I realized that I would have to fend and take care of myself, was when they stopped. And I slept silently for the next two years.

The nightmare was always the same. When Lindsay left, the number one thought was if she was going to be okay. But the second one always chilled me to the bone. Where was Brian in all of this? The strange appearances he had made during the time of our relationship always scared me. At the fashion show, the day after the hotel stay. I hadn't seem him since, and it was him that was in my nightmare.

I was in a cold, dark room. And from a distance there was a single light. There, under the light, was Lindsay strapped to a chair. Her voice would call my name out. No matter how badly I wanted to go and save her, my legs wouldn't move and my voice would not speak back to her. That's when Brian entered the picture. And that's when I woke up.

Every time, that is how it ended. I couldn't will my mind to think of the details that would happen after. And because of the memories I have of Brian, and the strange dreams, there is no way I trust him. Even if Lindsay is engaged to him, I can't bring myself to doing it. How could I? Did she not think it was weird how he just suddenly came back into her life? He must have been following her, listening to her conversations, something. There was no other reasonable answer.
