Forgotten

Chapter 22

Liam's p.o.v

*****

I had to get (y/n) and warn her that seeing Zayn isn't the best for her right now. I don't think she's ready to face this after what she has been through. I honestly care about her, a lot.

"I'm going to get her" I told Zayn.

He just turned away and looked at the nice view this spot had to offer.

I walked back to the car. As I walked I couldn't help but feel sorry for this girl. Her whole life has been empty. She needs someone to fill in the emptiness. Zayn won't be there to do it.

When I open the door she automatically asks me a question, "what's wrong?"

I ignore it and ask, "are you sure you want to see him?"

She automatically answers, "of course!"

I can't deny her request. I help her out of the car and lead her towards the spot where Zayn is. Right when she sees him, she looks so happy.

(Y/n) automatically runs up to him and screams, "ZAYN!"

I can feel her heart shatter when Zayn turns around and asks, "who are you?"

I stand behind her. She needs to get through this herself. She can't have me pushing her.

(Y/n) has no words. All she does is stand there and looks at him. The longer she stares into his eyes, the more tears form in hers. I can't blame her.

She lost him and he is simply lost.

(Y/n)'s p.o.v

*****

You just looked into his eyes. They were so lost, he was so lost.

You knew the only thing that you could do was to talk to him. You needed to see if there was anything left of the boy you love.

"Zayn?" You tried to talk to him but your words came out as more of a whisper.

"Um that's me?" He asked more than responded.

"Yes that's you. You are Zayn. I know you don't remember me..." You stopped and sat down in front of him. You grabbed his hands and held them in yours. He didn't resist but he was clearly surprised. "I love you. And I know you love me, but now you don't remember. You don't remember the memories we shared less than 24 hours ago but if you could, I would do anything for you to remember. I know that you aren't the boy I love, you are simply the shell of the boy who I loved with all my heart. And now, I am your girl that has simply been forgotten"

"I'm sorry but I don't even remember your name. I'm sure that I really loved you and you're a very lovely girl but I don't remember you and I don't think I ever could. This young man over here seems to really care about you. I think he loves you as much as I did and I just want you to be happy. I need you to forget about me. You need to move on from this just like I have to move on. I can't love someone I don't even remember or know. And you can't love me if all I did was forget you" Zayn's words smashed your heart piece by piece.

"No no no! I can't love Liam! I can only love you. I love you Zayn. I can't let you go!" You cried.

All you could do was cry.

"Yes you can. You have to move on. All I'm going to do is hurt you even more." Zayn tried convincing you.

"I can't leave you. It's not that easy," you whimpered.

"That's what you have to do! You need to be with someone that will love you!" Zayn went on.

"I love you and you love me"

You couldn't hold back the words as they came out of your mouth as a scream.

Liam's p.o.v

This was too much to hear. I know (y/n) could never love me. She has too many feelings for Zayn. But I really care about her, and I need to be here and help her. I wish she could love me. I have so many feelings for her that she doesn't have for me.

"You need to be with Liam. He will truly love you as much as I did. I can see it in the way he looks at you. His eyes light up when you talk to him. Please, I will be more than happy to see you with him regardless of our history I can't remember," Zayn said to her.

"I guess this is it Zayn. I have to say goodbye. Just remember that there was a girl that you truly loved and she was in love with you. She wanted to be with you no matter what happened but that couldn't happen. She can't be with you because she was taken away from you. That girl is named (y/n) and she will always remember the memories we shared"

I couldn't believe she was saying goodbye. I can't believe she was letting him go.

"Well if I was the real Zayn I'm sure I would say I love you (y/n) but I'm not Zayn. I'm not sure what I'm going to do but I can't be with you. Thank you for understanding. I'm sure Zayn will always miss you and he really did love you," Zayn said to her.

(Y/n) couldn't help but wrap her arms around what was left of Zayn. This was the closest she has to seeing him again.

"Zayn, if you can hear me, I want to let you know that I love you. Thank you for all the memories we shared. I hope you know that no matter what happens, I will always love you. I know I will fall in love with another man but you still have a special place in my heart," (y/n) said.

"Goodbye (y/n)" 'Zayn' said as he let go of her.

She didn't have any more words to say. Once she was on her feet, she ran towards me and smashed her lips into mine.

(Y/n)'s p.o.v

*****

I needed Liam.

I needed someone to love. This boy cared so much about me and I couldn't hide my feelings for him.

I wasn't using him to forget about Zayn. My feelings for Zayn were gone. Simply forgotten. All that's left of him is a simple memory. He was a memory of my childhood and my first true love. He's a memory of the first time I gave myself to someone. Now Liam is a new love. He's a new person for me to give all my love to.

He knows that I care about him and I appreciate everything he did for me. Without him, I would be a slave and I would never be able to get over Zayn.

There was a special feeling that rushed through me as my lips moved against Liam's. It was like nothing I felt with Zayn. It was a feeling of relief and comfort. I felt so safe with him and I know that I would never lose Liam. He will always care about me just as Zayn does.

Even if Zayn is gone, I know that wherever he is, he will always love me. He will understand that I have to have feelings for Liam. I don't know why I have these feelings for another boy. I thought I would only love Zayn but things will always change.

After a while of Liam and I like this, our lips detached. Liam looked into my eyes. They stared into my soul.

"I want to let you know (y/n) that I love you. I know you will always love Zayn, but I want to be with you even if you love someone else. I want to help you get over your feelings. I want to make you happy and I know I can make you happy if you let me. I can fill the emptiness inside of you from your loss. If you give yourself to me, I will never lose you. I will never let you go. Never again will you be forgotten"

Those words are what Zayn said. He promised me that he would never forget me again but people can't keep promises. Something always comes and breaks those promises. But the thing is, if people do all they can to keep those promises, that is all that matters. Liam can't keep his promises but I know he will do everything he can to make sure that I will never again be forgotten.
