Hailey's POV

" What you wanna do first, princess? " Niall asked after we had gotten settled down. I look up at him and just shrug my shoulders. " Want to swim? "

" What about the interview? "

" It's later tonight, c'mon babe, " he smiles at me as he tugs my hand.

" Fine, " I laugh. We walk towards our bedroom and get our swimming clothes. " Which one? " I ask as I hold up my camouflage swimsuit and then my neon yellow one.

" Hmm, neither? " Niall jokes. " That one, " he says pointing towards the yellow one. " I might loose you in the other, " he chuckles.

" Be glad I love you, " I laugh as I walk into his expecting arms. He wraps his arms around me and we sway side to side.

" It's gotta be you, only you, " Niall sings softy into my ear sending chills down my back.

" Stop being so amazing, " I say looking up into his eyes. I give him a quick kiss on the lips and take off running towards to bathroom. I quickly change into my two piece and run outside to the pool.

" Niall? " I call out. He runs up from behind me, picks me up and jumps into the pool. " NIALL! " I yell before going under. I come back up for air and don't see him. " Niall? " I whisper quietly.

" Yes, princess? " he whispers into my ear. I turn around to hug him. I run my hands along his abs.

" You're so perfect, " I mutter laying my head on his shoulder. " Let's go ahead and start getting ready for the interview, " I say even though we still have five hours. I knew he'd be hungry and need to cook.

" Ok, I was getting hungry anyway, " he smiles and kisses my forehead.

" You're always hungry, babe, " I laugh.

" You're gonna pay for that, " he says seriously. " You have three seconds. RUN! " he yells. I swim to the steps and then run out of the pool and into the house. I run to the kitchen, forgetting how slippery the floors are even without water dripping down me. I slide, crashing head first into the corner of the counter. That's all I can remember.

Niall's POV

" Hailey? " I yell after running around the house twice. I still hadn't found her. " Princess? Come on, let's get ready. " Now, I was beginning to get worried. " I'm gonna go ahead and cook in the kitchen then, you hungry? " I yell waiting for a response. I slowly walk into the kitchen. I stumble over something. " Sh-... " I look down and see my princess bloody and unconscious. " HAILEY? " I run to find my phone and immediately call 911.

" 911, what's you're emergency? "

" My girlfriend is passed out unconscious. I think she hit her head! "

" Stay calm, ambulances are on their way. " I hang up and call Liam.

" Niall? " Liam asks when he answers the phone.

" Hailey is hurt! Liam I don't know what to do! The ambulances are on the way. I don't know why I had to chase her! I guess she slid.. Her heads bleeding... Call management and Louis and Harry. I'm so nervous.. " Right then ambulances arrive. " They're here! " I yell before hanging up.

Liam's POV

I had just gotten off the phone with management, and was getting ready to call Louis.

" Louis? " I asked when the phone was answered.

" Yes? "

" Hailey's hurt. Meet us at the hospital, " was all I said before hanging up and catching a cab with Zayn. When we arrive at the ER, I see Niall sitting in a chair, head in hands, crying.

Niall's POV

I feel a hand rub my back. I turn to see Liam and Zayn.

" Mate? What happens if she isn't okay? " I say with tears rolling down my face.

" She's a tough one. Don't worry man, " Zayn smiles rubbing my back. The doctor walks in just then, so do Harry and Louis.

" Is she ok? " I ask on the verge of a break down.

" She's awake, talking, and breathing fine.. She may have memory loss. We aren't sure yet. We need at least one of you to come see, " he says before leading us down a long hallway. Every step breaks my heart into tinier shattered pieces. What if's continue to go through my mind. What if she doesn't remember me? What if she blames me for her fall? What if nothing's the same?

" I'll go in first, mate, " Liam says. I know he's only doing it to protect me from being the first one she doesn't remember. He opens the door after knocking lightly. He enters, and I hear his voice.

" Hailey? It's Liam, do you remember me? " his voice was cracking.

" Liam! Oh, I'm so glad to see your familiar face. "

" Guys come in, " he calls out. Harry, Louis, and Zayn walk in.

" Hey guys, " she says cheerfully. I was expecting her to ask about me, but nothing is mentioned. Tears begin to stream down my face. A rather young nurse walks by. She looked to be the same age as Hailey. Maybe she was just training, I thought to myself.

" You ok, sir? " she politely asks.

" Uhm, well.. That beautiful girl in there? Yeah that my princess.. And now, she doesn't appear to remember me. " I breathe slowly.

" What's her name? Patient's rooms are supposed to have names on the door, " she sighs.

" Well, her first name is Hailey... "

" WHAT? " the nurse runs into the room.

" HAILEY?! "

" Oh my gosh.. Lexi? " I hear crying and decide to walk in.

" Looky there. It's... " Liam pauses for Hailey to answer.

" Who are you? " she asks. And with that, my world comes crashing down.

" No... No. This can't be happening.. " I begin to break down.

" Niall? Babe.. I'm joking. I know it's you. How could I forget the only reason I'm alive. " Hailey looks up at me.

" Wait what? " I ask confused.

" Doctor Wright said if I would have bleed anymore... I'd be dead. Baby, I almost died. They're surprised my memory isn't all gone, along with my speech. " Right then my knees hit the floor. I was so thankful. I stand back up and walk over to my beautiful princess and kiss her deeply.

" Never do this to me again. I think I was about to loose my mind, " I mumble into her hair as I hug her.

" I never plan on it, " she smiles at me. All the boys are in tears. " Guys I'm ok, " she smiles to them.

" You guys are perfect for one another, " Lexi says. And with that, I realize that Hailey is truly the girl for me.

Hailey's POV

" Guys I'm fine, " I sigh as the boys all offer to do something for me. " Don't y'all have an interview? " I mumble.

" You're coming with us! " Liam informs me. Niall walks out and comes back with a wheelchair.

" Oh, no, " I protest.

" Oh, yes. Definitely yes, " they all say with a laugh.

" Don't scare us that bad again? Please, love, " Lou says kisses my cheek.

" Never ever? " I joke.

" Never ever ever ever, " Harry kisses my forehead.

" Ever, ever, ever, " Zayn smiles before kissing my other cheek.

" Neverrrrrrr, " Liam says as he kisses my forehead.

" Never ever ever, never, " Niall says kissing me. I was so lucky for these guys to be my best friends.

" Never, " one last voice calls. It was Lexi.

" How'd you get here? " I ask.

" Niall wanted to get to know your old bestfriend. Hay, he loves you, " she whispers into my ear. We all go out and get into a big limo and ride to the interview.
