Never Forget You (Niall Horan Fan Fic)

Chapter 9

MIchael's Funeral

"Up first to speak about her beloved husband is, Emily Clifford."

Emily steps up, tears in her eyes.

"Hello. first I want to say thank you for coming. Michael ment everything to me. Our 5th Year anniversary was March 30, a day after he died. Ever since he died, every night I turn to hug my pillow, sometimes waking up dreaming it's him." 

She pauses and looks at me with tears.

"... before he died, and I was upstairs saving myself, Ashley stood by his side. She told him how much I loved him and wanted him. How he laughed and would make pizza every night. And all of my friends, Mackenzie, Anna, Ashley, and Morgan supported us so much. I was going to tell Michael, on our 5th anniversary date, that I was pregnant with his son."

Everyone gasps. Everyone is crying, even I start to sob. He was such a wonderful person. I look up through the trees, seeing this tall fellow. The person is standing on the hill, watching, not the funeral,

But Me. 

Kenzie looks at me, and I turn to reach her eyes, they're really pretty, I always thought she had an unique eye color.  She looks up where I was staring, and seeing no one there. I motion to Emily to walk towards me. I have to keep her safe. But there is one question I have to ask,

"Who will this person come for next?" Me? Kenzie? Morgan? Anna? Oh no, if they died I would die myself. 

Wait, what about

Niall? 

I walk to Michaels casket, in his hand, there is a note in an envelope under his crossed arms. I pick it up, on the envelope it says.

To, Ashley

I take the letter and shove it in my black clutch. Ashton Irwin, his best friend, walks towards me putting a hand on my shoulder.

"Lil'Ash, what are we going to do? I cannot go on without him, I want Emily to be safe. Calum wanted to me to tell you that he wants to take care of her. Luke and him couldn't come, they said they would have gotten to emotional. I came, because you and him were my best mates." 

Tears stream down Ashtons face. I look at him parting my lips.

"Ashy, I have to tell you something. Come by my flat at 9:00 exactly." I say this to him. I'm gonna tell him Mikey dieing was my fault. I should invite Emily, but it's gonna risk everyone's friendship. 

After the funeral

I walk lonely in the afternoon to my flat. Emily and Ashton are coming. When I walk in, I remember the letter. I must open it. It says:

Dear Ashley,

So how are you liking this? Not so well huh, I warned you, I even told you I would hurt someone you loved dearly. I knew Michael was your crush and he got with Emily. I know that Ashton and Emliy is coming to your place tonight. Maybe I'll pay one of them a visit. I mean, you visited Niall at the mall, told him the story you told me. Well, you are gonna pay again. I've been ruining your life this whole time and you haven't even noticed. Wow, how stupid are you? I know you thought Niall was doing this. Maybe, maybe not. Working on a familiar case I've been apart at work. Yeah, I went through your computer too. Ohh, twitter password, this will be fun. Facebook messages! Wow I am getting everything right. And business emails are the best ones. Why don't you open your door on the next knock. And you are wondering, "How did she know they were coming over if I got the note and then told Ashton and Em? You'll figure it out. But warning, someone you love dearly is going to be blamed for this crime. You shall think it's him and shall read the signs and realize it after he's on death row. Oops, it may have slipped out. Think of what "he" that is while you are talking to one of you friends tonight. Oh two, no one, watch out I warn you." - From and Love The Girl...
