Half A Heart

The Letter

"Why?" I ask him.

He smiles and grabs my hand. "You just remind me of a girl I used to know."

"Who?"

Harry drops my hand, and stares out the window, leaving my question unanswered. Why won't he tell me who I remind him of?

"Harry, what's wrong?" I grab his shoulder and inch him towards me.

He shakes his head and shrugs. "Nothing, just forget about it."

Harry places his earbuds in, and closes his eyes. I was planning on sleeping before Harry woke me, but now I'm too awake to nap.

I decide to use the washroom near the back of the section, but clean up my belongings before I stand. The isle is particularly wide for a plane, so it's much easier to manoeuvre past the Flight Attendants and streching passengers.

As I am nearing the back, I feel a hand grasp my arm and pull me into a seat.

"Hey what are you doing?" I notice a boy around my age who is very heavily tattooed and has a devilish smirk.

"So, your Harry's new girlfriend are you?" The accent is defiantly there.

I'm not quite sure who this boy is, but he defiantly knows Harry.

"C'mon Zayn, leave her be." Another boy pops his head back from the seat in front of me. He also has an accent, and a very annoyed tone.

"What?" Zayn throws his hands in the air innocently and questions.

"Lou will you tell Zayn to leave the poor girl alone?" He seems to be talking to a passenger in the seat beside him.

Another very handsome boy turns around and glares at Zayn. He doesn't speak, but Zayn seems to get the point.

"Ok, ok!" He surrenders. "I'll stop pestering her! You two happy?" He laughs.

Lou speaks then. "Probably not as happy as she is!" He smiles and looks at me for the first time. I blush and turn away.

Zayn makes a mimicking sound, and introduces me to him and the other boys. "Anyways I'm Zayn, and this is Louis and Liam!" I try to smile, but I still feel slightly awkward around these strangers.

"Who is the babe sitting in my seat?!" I hear a voice behind me, and turn only to find a teenage boy with a grin bigger then his whole face.

"And that's Niall." Zayn sighs sarcastically and points to the boy. He has an accent too, but it doesn't seem to be British.

"Here I'll just move!" I suggest standing up.

Niall pushes me back down and slides in next to me. "No, I don't mind sharing!" Louis laughs and Liam shakes his head. I have a feeling he is the mature one out of this bunch.

"Ok." I nervously grind my teeth. "Who are you guys?" I ask looking to Liam.

"We're in a band with Harry. We just finished our USA tour, and now we are headed back home." He smiles.

"Are you all from England?" I ask.

This time Niall speaks. "Harry, Zayn, Louis, and Liam are. I'm from Ireland, but I'm living in London with the rest of the boys until we are done recording our new album."

"Oh." Is that all I can say? I've never really listened to current music, I prefer hits from the 80's because that's what my parents used to listen to.

"What about you? What's your story?" Louis reaches over the seat and shakes my hand smirking.

I decide on only my name for now, I'll need to discuss with Harry whether to trust them with my real story or not. "My names Aaron."

"Ya know, I once had a girlfriend named Aaron! She wasn't nearly as hot as you though!" Niall nudges me and I giggle nervously. Liam rolls his eyes and turns back around.

"Really Niall?" I notice Harry standing in the aisle, beside Liam. He grabs my hand and directs me back up towards our seat.

I hear Louis yell goodbye, but I don't have time to turn around because Harry pulls me so forcefully I'm in my seat in seconds.

"What was that about?" I ask with as much tone as possible.

Harry's breathing slows down and I can see him relax before he speaks. "I'm sorry I just couldn't let you tell them about the letter or anything regarding your memory."

What? They seem like very trustworthy people, and if I had told them, what's the worst that could happen?

Harry P.O.V

I can't let anyone find out about her. Allyson's story might click with them, and I can't loose her. If she doesn't stay with me, she won't be safe. They will find her, and they will hurt her. I need to do everything in my power to keep that from happening.

"I don't understand what you mean." She calmly says resting her head on my shoulder. I like the affection from her, but I struggle showing it back.

"Please promise me you won't show that letter to anyone." I plead. She looks up at me, eyes watery.

"The letter says my roommate Danielle knows about me." She sighs.

Danielle? "Did the letter say what Danielle's last name was?" I sit up straighter and so does she.

She reaches down to her bag for the letter but can't seem to find it. "Ugh I can't find it!" She cries. "It's probably just packed up in the bottom, I'll get it later." When she gets annoyed her nostrils flare, which is surprisingly attractive to me.

"I don't think the letter said, but the doctor told me it was Payzer, or something." She shrugs.

Perfect.

"Danielle Peazer! That's Liam's girlfriend." I smile, knowing that her apartment is in the same building as mine.

"Oh." She smiles, and rests her head yet again on my shoulder, this time closing her eyes. "I wonder where that letter is." She says yawning.

"Yeah." I say feeling guilty.

I slightly zip my bag up careful not to wake Allyson, so she doesn't see the folded letter sitting within my belongings.
