Recap:

Perrie sung a mock version of 'In My Life' from Les Miserables. She could sing very high, that girl.

The night continued like this until...

H e l e n a C a r t e r

The sun was going to come up in about three hours and we had just been talking but history decided to repeat itself tonight. We had all just finished laughing over Perrie's mock version of 'In My Life' when he had appeared again. Although, this time he looked like he was sleeping. All conversations ceased when everyone realised what was happening.

"Thats the boy we saw last time." Louis pointed out the obvious. I ran to the boys side with Perrie and Zayn right behind me. The boy lying on the ground opened his eyes and closed the a few times before keeping them open, it looked almost automatic. His eyes stayed fixed on something in the sky as if he couldn't see us.

Suddenly he took, what would have been, a big breath and sat up. This caused everyone to jump back in shock.

"What am I doing here, I died!" He said angrily, no one knew what to answer to that question.

"We don't know why your here or why we are here but we know this: There is a girl in that shack that needs you after she comes out." I said.

"What? What are you talking about?" I was about to say something before Perrie silently took control.

"What is your name?" She asked.

"I'm Liam."

"Well, Liam, do you remember the last time you were here?" She asked.

"Yeah, I saw you," Liam pointed to Helena, "and you, and you." He pointed to Louis and Harry. Helena looked at us and then back at Liam.

"Come sit with us." She offered. Liam slowly stood and walked over to the fire with us.

"Ok," Perrie started, "do you remember how you died?" Liam looked down and played with his frayed jeans.

"Well, its a little complicated." He said, warily.

"How about we start with us. I was killed in the French Revolution." Perrie started, she pointed to each person as she went along, "Zayn was killed in World War One, Helena was kidnapped and shot, Louis drowned in the Titanic and Niall's plane went down."

"What about you two?" Liam pointed out that Perrie hadn't said Kimmy and Harry.

"Well, I think it's time everyone knew," Harry shifted his seating position and started telling the group about how he died. He simply said he was tortured and hung before he died.

Needless to say I felt horrible. Harry grabbed my hand and smiled at me in reassurance that everything was ok. No one was surprised at Harry's death, they were all just surprised he told us. I'm glad he has finally had the courage to tell us.

"I killed myself." Everyone but Niall turned their heads in Kimmy's direction and looked with their mouthes agap. Kimmy looked to Niall for comfort and he smiled and nodded to tell her she had dome the right thing.

Everyone diverted the attention back to Liam once Kimmy started to look uncomfortable. Perrie asked him the question again and this time he didn't look so uncomfortable.

"Well, I died in the year 2010. A group of students from my university had found me on a late night walk and started bashing me until one kid brought out a knife and stabbed my leg. Then they ran away and I died." He said, everyone could tell he was lying but we weren't going to push him for the truth.

"Well, it's 2015 now." I said. Liam looked at me in disbelief.

"Really?" He asked. I only nodded.

"That means I would be twenty - five." He said.

"That means I would be two - hundred and twenty seven this year." Perrie said. Everyone laughed except Liam who just stared with a shock expression on his face.

"What about the rest of you, how old would you be?" The laughing stopped and people started thinking of how old they would be.

"I would be twenty." Niall said first, "I only died last year."

"Me too." Kimmy said.

"We would be eighty three and still alive." Harry said looking at Helena.

"I would be one - hundred and twenty." Zayn said.

"1914, so I would be 123." Louis said.

We all looked back to Liam.

"Your not the youngest, you know." I said. "Kimmy and Helena are younger than you."

"Then how am I here after you, I died first." He said. We all looked to Perrie and she explained everything about our Destiny's. Liam didn't stop listening for a second. He seemed to want to know about everything in the second dimension.

But he couldn't because there were still things we didn't know about it.
