Never Forget You (Niall Horan Fan Fic)

Chapter 20

Ashley's POV

I sit down in front of Niall going into Starbucks. He looks up at me with a grin on his face.

"What? I can't sit with you?" I say giggling and start to drink my coffee.

"No I just think you're beautiful." I feel the redness come upon my cheeks. No person but my friends has ever told me that.

"I don't believe you, I'll never be beautiful." I plainly say, trying not to sound rude at all.

"You must never look in the mirror because it's obvious, you are so pretty." Now I think my face is purple at least.

"How? Give me some reasons, I bet you couldn't find any." 

"What? My list of reasons would go fifteen million times around the Earth. Well for starters, I love your nicely dyed red hair, I think it's beautiful in the sunlight. Your eyes turn colors by your mood and it's just amazing and sometimes I lose my breath. Your little dimples at the corners of your mouth just plain out make you so precious. And I count your little freckles that are daintily across your cheeks. So to me, I think you are prettier than Beyonce."

I try to change the subject, a little.

"I got another note. By that girl. And I figured out who she is."

"What does the note say?"

"I don't know i haven't read it. And Niall, you may be a little shocked and a little curious when I tell you who it is."

"Well who is it already? It can't be that bad!"

"Niall, it's Louise Nelson." Once I say the name his eyes go dead cold. He sets down his coffee and pulls out a picture.

It's a picture of him, as a kid, with his arm around a little girl. He's wearing a light yellow shirt with black pants, and Louise has a little blue dress. 

The thought runs through my mind

It couldn't be him then, but everything adds up in both ways, both situations, are they working together? Possibly, and maybe not.

"I haven't seen my sister in a long time Ashley. And I'm telling you, ever since this day in the picture. She changed a lot. Louise got more clingy to me, and when we got in high school, she almost beat a girl to death because they were bullying me. I knew it was her all along, and I knew that this was my fault but I can't do anything to stop this." He flips the picture over showing the date:

May 5, 1994

"Niall you can stop this if you know it or not. You can tell her not to do this and that you don't want her to do this."

"Ashley you don't understand. When she does this, she becomes dark."

"Dark? I don't understand." I say finishing my coffee.

"I've already said to much. Maybe you'll figure it out, but only I know what 'dark' means. I just really couldn't explain it. All of her doctors said it's not mentally possible. But her anger is so strong, it it."

"Niall... what happened in that picture?"

He looks to his left, and then to his right looking around.

"We were at vacation in North Carolina, and something terrible happened, but I wouldn't say it if you paid me one million dollars."

North Carolina, I can figure that out later

We pause, with our coffee's empty. 

"Lets go to my flat and read that letter, you can spend the night if you like.

After Ashley gets some clothes and goes to his flat

I walk in to this big living room, I mean I make a lot of money, but I couldn't afford this.

He walks upstairs and motions for me to follow him. He opens a cream colored door to a beautiful bedroom with a balcony.

"Think 6 locks on your door to the balcony is enough?" The big glass sliding door has so many locks, my front door only has four.

"Well when you have moved four times away from your sister hoping she doesn't hurt anyone, this is a minimal number of locks."

He sits on his bed motioning me, again, to sit with him. I bring the letter looking at him. I tear the paper slowly, holding my breath. Not knowing what I'm gonna find.

I open to some pages, and pictures.

The letter says:

Dear Ashley, Hello again my little victim. I tried to get you in the elevator, but you were only going up 4 floors so I couldn't really do anything. And yes I saw everything. The kiss with Ashton, the calling Niall a mistake 'accidentally' and noticing Luke getting away and blaming your little friend. And wow I'm shocked! Your little tiny brain actually found who I am. Working at the FBI now little Ashley Virginia Elswick, yeah I know who you are. Oh I have a surprise for ya! No, it's not a Barbie Doll, it's another friend going missing or maybe hurt. Hmm, what do you know maybe even terminated and off the face of the Earth. Oh who to pick, there is so many choices, I mean Ashton can be easy and I didn't finish the job on Luke. Calum? Nah, maybe Anna or Donna. Hey has Niall introduced his little friends to you yet? Well since he won't I'll tell you their names. Oh there is Harry, Zayn, Louis and Liam. You should hang out with them sometime, I mean they're on my list any way! I think I'm saying a little too much, let me get back into picking the next person out.

Bye! - The Girl

Me and Niall are in absolute horror. She's going after someone else. All these plans rush into my mind. 

"Umm, Niall call Luke and I'll call Ashton. Then you call Calum and I'll call Anna then Morgan then Donna. After you tell Calum call Kenzie." Right when I finish that sentence, I get a phone call from Luke.
