Genevieve's  POV

"Come on Genevieve! Let's go!" Dad yelled from the bottom of the stairs.

"Alright Alright I'm coming." I say as I slip on Liam's flannel shirt that I stole.

I shut the door to my bedroom and skip down then stairs to be met with mom and dad in blue jeans and sweatshirts. Oh, I forgot to mention we're going on a night time picnic. I love looking at the stars while eating sandwiches. It was my idea, only if Liam was here. Mental sigh.

"Ready hun?" Mom asked.

"Yes!" I say with a toothy grin.

I make a mad dash for the front door.

"Hey hold up missy, get back here." Dad told me.

I shamelessly turn around and trudge back to dad.

"What?" I asked.

"Put a beanie on and some gloves. I don't want you catching a cold."

"But....Dad" I whined.

"Do I need to remind you that your immune system is very weak."

"No...I guess not."

I trudged up the stairs to my bedroom to find some gloves and a beanie.

"While you're up there put on a sweatshirt too."

I groaned.

"Stupid immune system...Stupid cold.." I muttered angrily.

I shifted through my room looking for the last place I put my Beanie well Liam's beanie and gloves. I found Liam's  black beanie on the ground under my bed. I crawled halfway, I felt around with my hand looking for his Beanie. My hand came across the familiar feel of the Beanie. I snatched it up and crawled out backwards. I looked everywhere for my gloves. I couldn't find them. I didn't bother looking for a sweatshirt. I gave up looking for them and made my way back down the stairs.

"Dad, mom I couldn't find my gloves"

"That's okay hun."

"She's needs her gloves Karen we can't let her get sick again."

"She will be okay one night Geoff."

"Okay hunny." Dad said as he gave her a peck on the lips.

"Yuck."

"Let's go!" Dad cheered.

I quickly placed the beanie on my head in a hurry and made another mad dash for the door. I raced towards the four door ford fusion, I swung open the door and hopped in. I fastened my seat belt and waited for mom and dad; The slow pokes.

The driver and passenger doors opened. Mom and dad sat down and buckled their seat belts.

He pulls out of the driveway and soon we are on our way.
Ring ring ring

"Oh look hunny it's Liam calling." Mom exclaimed.

"Answer it! Answer it!" I shout.

"Hey Liam! Oh..ya...she's right....here..okay..Love you."

Mom passes the phone to me.

"Genie!" I heard Liam's deep accent call out.

"Li Li!" I shouted back.

"I miss you.." I told him.

"I miss you too...What you guys doing munchkin?"

"We're on our way to a night time picnic."

"What's a night time picnic?"

"We look at stars and eat sandwiches!' I told him, letting my excitement get the better of things.

"You and your imagination.." He says with a chuckle.

"How's touring?"

"Its good....I should be home in a couple of weeks."

"Oh.."

"Is that a frown I hear?"

"Noo."

"I think it was..Don't be lying to me Genie."

"I'm not lying!"

" I'll let it slide since the tickle monster can't get you."

I let out a laugh causing Liam to laugh along with me.

"Hey, I gotta go but I will call you soon. Love you to infinity and beyond Genie."

"Love you to infinity and beyond too Li Li."

Liam's POV

I press the end button on my phone. I set it down on the table. My hands rub at my eyes, they've become tired.

"You miss them don't cha?"

I look up to see Zayn leaning against the counter.

"More then you will ever know."

I pick up my phone and press the circle button that brings my screen to life. I take a long look at my background. Taking a long look at Genevieve. She wearing one of my many flannel shirts with one of my snap backs placed on her tangled mess of brunette hair, She's wearing my shades as well.. I remember her coming down the stairs wearing a pair of blue jeans with a plain black v-neck, my red and black checkered flannel with the pair of doc. martins I bought her. I couldn't resist taking a picture of her. She looked like a mini me; she even had to handkerchief in her back pocket.

"What you staring at mate?"

A curious Zayn asked.

"Oh just this picture of Genie I took?"

"You miss her the most don't you?'

"Ya..Dad had to pry her off of me when I left to come on tour."

"I'm sorry man. You'll get to see her in a couple of weeks."

"Ya..."

"Well I'm going to bed night Liam."

"Night Zayn."

Genevieves POV

My brown eyes looked over the river.

"Are we there yet?"

"Almost be patient Vieve." Dad told me with a chuckle.

My eyes are so trained on the sparkling river I don't have time to react. A car hit us, the windshield cracked open, glass spilled into the car hitting mom and dad in the face. I screamed out, fear taking over my body. I look over at dad, he's already knocked unconscious.

The car rolled right off the bridge over the sides, my head got thrown to the right, hitting the window leaving a blood smear. We're heading straight for the river. The river that not long ago I was admiring. Screams fly out of my mouth, they soon become silent as water fills up the car.

"Mommy!!! Daddy!!" I screeched out.

No answer. I begin to cry.

"Momma, daddy wake up!" I cried out.

The water hurriedly filled in the car. My head pumping with pain. The world becomes fuzzy. The water has reached my neck. Small screams escape, water gets into my mouth. I spit it out to be met with another mouth full of water. My eyelids become heavy, they soon close. As the water rushes over my head. I'm drowning, drowning in water.
