Chapter 5: Nandos

Ashley's POV

Apparently, I found my mother and 'brother' during this year, which I don't remember. My mother came over with my clothes and possessions all in a duffel bag and a backpack because I had called her earlier, telling her that I wanted to move out.

"Here's all your stuff, sweetie." She said, placing down the duffel bag and backpack.

"What about Avril?" I asked, gripping the sides of my hospital bed tightly.

"She's staying with me, hon. I'm her mother." My mother replied, a sad smile on her face.

"But- what? She's my little sister, she's been with me ever since you left!" I yelled, angrier than ever. She can't just take my sister, I practically just MET her!

"Sweetie-"

"I am not your 'sweetie'." I growled

"I'm her mother, she has to stay with me."

"Get out." I whispered, closing my eyes.

"But-"

"Now. Please."

I heard her defeated sigh and footsteps before the door shut.

I reopened my eyes and got out of the bed, limping over to the duffel bag and pulling out some clothes to wear.

She won't take her away from me..

I won't let her.

I met Kade outside of the hospital, because I couldnt walk nor drive and I don't really trust 'One Direction' or my own mother so, that's that.

"How're you feeling today?" Kade asked as I got in the passenger seat of his black porsche.

"Okay, I guess." I shrugged

"Any memories back?"

"N-"

My eyes shut and I clutched my head as a fullblown headache hit me.

FLASH

"So who's that guy who was following you?" A guy with familiar curly hair and emerald green eyes asked, his hands in his pockets casually

FLASH

"Do you mind me asking?" He questioned, looking concerned

"No, He's my stepdad. Drake."

FLASH

"He was yelling at you and he was holding a knife so I took you in the van."

"You took me in?"

The guy shrugged.

"I didn't want to leave you there with a crazy guy." He smiled

FLASH

My eyes snapped open, my hands shaking as I lowered them to my lap.

Kade looked half panicked and half concerned. He reached for my hand, eyes darting from me to the road. "Are you okay, Ashley?"

"I-I'm not sure."

"Did you see something?"

I nodded slightly but he noticed.

He waited.

I didn't continue.

Kade didn't reply, instead, he changed the subject, which I'm thankful for. "Do you mind if we go to Nandos instead of the coffee shop? I'm starved."

"Sure, I'm hungry, too. Hospital food isnt exactly what I call 'delicious'"

"Are you sure you're okay?" He asked again.

"Yes. I'm fine." I smiled.

I wasn't. My mother was going to take away the only family I had. She was going to take my little sister from me... I was far from okay. Still, I pretended that I was fine. That everything was fine. That I wasn't breaking inside.

"Good," He grinned. "'Cause we're here."

We walked into the restaurant hand-in-hand, mostly because he was making sure I didn't fall over, and if I did, he would catch me. Hopefully.

"What do you want to eat?" Kade asked me.

I shrugged. "Never been here before, you choose."

"Okay, just go find somewhere to sit. I'll order the food."

I nodded and slipped into a booth. While I was observing the place, something- or, rather someone caught my eye. The guys from the hospital, three other guys and...Avril was sitting at a table, eating and talking. Avril was sitting on that guy from the hospital's (not the one with curls, the other one) lap. Who the frickity Nutella were they?! I shot up from my seat and stormed over to their table, ignoring the throbbing in my leg.

I tapped his shoulder, glaring. He turned to face me, a shocked expression replacing his happy one. "Oi, what are you doing with my little sister?" I growled, my hands on my hips. Avril hopped off him and hugged me. "Ashley!" She giggled.

"Well? Who are you?" I asked.

"I-I'm Louis. Louis Tomlinson. Your brother."

My brother? No, impossible. I refuse to believe it. "I don't have a brother." I said slowly.

"Y-You do, Ash. P-Please remember." He stuttered, their table was quiet now. Five pairs of eyes staring at me.

"I'm sorry, I don't remember and my doctor said I shouldn't believe anyone, even if they say they know me because you could easily take advantage of me." I stated, honestly.

"I would never take advantage of you, I'm your brother for gods sake!" Louis exclaimed.

"Come on, Avy. Do you want to sit with me?" I kneeled down, looking my sister in the eyes. She nodded enthusiastically but then, started to shake her head. I frowned.

"Sowwie, Ashley. I want to spend some time with Lou."

Ouch. Straight to the heart. "Oh, o-okay." I nodded, standing up straight.

I felt someone place their hand on my shoulder, which made me turn my head to find myself staring into Kade's green orbs. "Hey, doc." I smiled.

"Miss Tomlinson." He smirked back. "If you would please take a seat."

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw curly glare at Kade immensely but I didn't put any thought into it and just followed Kade back to our booth.

I locked stares with Curly and something happened. I started to remember how I ran away (though I do not recall where to), how I found Curly and how he helped me.

Now, when I looked at Harry, I think that's his name, I felt something. Something I can't decipher at this moment but I know it was an important emotion...

"So, I ordered you some blah blah blah..." Kade started talking. And yes, that's honestly all I heard. Just gibberish.

Harry tilted his head. I titled mine. He smiled. I frowned. I want to remember everything but for now, I only have bits and pieces.

Author's note:

Hey guys. I'm honestly a bit surprised I have this much feedback on this book (okay not that much but it's still a lot to me) and I'm sorry for not responding. You see, I was on my other wattpad account for a long while and I was writing a 5 seconds of summer fan fiction on there. If you want, you could check it out (since I'm more active on there), the acc is called escapingantarctica. So yeah, here's a chapter. I'll try to continue.
