NIALL'S POV

"Lexie!" I yell through her house. I drove back here because I miss her. I had to see her again. It's midnight and it's storming outside. I know she doesn't like thunder storms. Whenever the is a storm she is in her room. I run upstairs. "Lexie!" I yell as thunder booms throughout the house. Her mom isn't here. I know Lexie is because I saw her car outside.

"Niall!" I hear her smooth voice echo through the home. Something is off. Her voice it's laced with..with terror. Where is she.

"Lexie! Where are you?!" I yell one more time.

"Niall help me! Please!" I think I hear her downstairs. My heart is breaking. I run downstairs as thunder booms through the house and lightning lights up the place. "Niall!" I hear her again. Sounds like she's in the kitchen.

"Lexie?!" I yell and run into the kitchen. I stop in my tracks at the sight in front of me. Her father. That bastard is back. He has her is a hold with a knife up to her throat. Her face covered with fear, tears staining her cheeks, eyes pleading for help. "What are to doing here?" I ask the bastard holding her.

"To do what I've wanted to do for a very long time." He smiles evilly. His eyes weren't warm and his face wasn't happy. He looked like the devil. His eyes all black an his smile so devilish.

"NO!" I try to reach out for her. I was to late. He slides the knife across her neck and she falls to the ground. I go to pick her up off the ground and cry. As I'm holding her lifeless body in my hands I cry and plead that this isn't happening. "How could you." I stand and look at the man in front of me.

"Like this." He plunges the knife inside of my torso. I fall to the ground with my eyes open. I look at Lexie as my eyes get heavier.

"Niall! Niall! Ni wake up!" My eyes open and I take a deep breath. My pillows and sheets are on the floor. My body covered in sweat. I see all the boys with worried looks in my room. The room is dark. I look at the clock and it's five in the morning. I look at my side and Liam is staring back at me. Concern clear in his eyes.

"You are okay? What happened?" Louis asked. I'm still breathing heavy. I put my hand on my stomach. Nothing. Yep that was a dream.

"Sorry, just had a nightmare I guess." I apologize once my breathing is back to a slower rate. "Did I wake you all?" They all nod. "Sorry." I look down.

"It's alright you can't help nightmares." Harry smiles. I chuckle at his attempt to make me feel better.

"Why don't we just go ahead and get ready so we can't meet Simon at the recording studio. We might have a little time left to hang out." Liam suggested and we all agree. They all leave my room an I get up to take a shower. When I pass my computer I hit my desk. I hit my hip on the corner.

"Shit." I curse under my breath. The pain suddenly went away as I look into the picture of Lexie and I. "I love you princess." I say to myself and go take a shower. That was the worst nightmare I have ever had.

LEXIE'S POV

Have you ever had that feeling of emptiness but nothing was missing. It's kinda like, if you know someone was hurt you feel hurt. That's how I feel. I feel like I had I nightmare but didn't. There's just that feeling of fear I feel. Why? I don't know. I shake it off as in walk into vocal class. I take a seat next to Jay in the middle.

"Hello class." Our teacher walked in. She looks like she is in her thirties and has long blond hair. She has milky while skin and has a posh British accent. "My name is Mrs. Stone. But you guys can call me Avery. I don't like the way Mrs. Stone sounds." She scrunched her nose. The class laughs. "Today I want to talk about you" she points to the class "I want to know about what makes you, you. Is it your personality, your voice, they way you sing, or the genre." As I am listening it makes me think.

"Today's lesson is all about you. During class I want you to pick a song. Any song. Any genre, any artist, and any vocals. I want it to represent YOU." She points to us again. "Once you have the song I want you too cover it. Make it your own. If you can play an instrument you can play it, but if you can't karaoke is just fine also." The bell rings. "Wow it's been an hour already. Time just flew by didn't it. I will see you all tomorrow and we will work on your music." She smiles and dismisses us.

Next class is anatomy. It's where we learn about how the vocal cords work and how they produce sound and how we can change pitch. All through that class I pay a attention but I still have that small fear factor. Jay kept nudging me during class. She said that I looked out of it. Like I kept daydreaming. I don't know.

"What was wrong with you?" Jay asked once we got outside.

"I don't know." I shrugged. "I guess I'm just out of it today." She nods.

"Well I know what you need." She stops dead in her tracks stopping me also. I look at her with one of my eyebrows raised. "Starbucks." She looks at me with excitement. I roll my eyes. She is completely obsessed with that shop it's a crime. After we get our coffee we head back to our dorm. I sit down on my bed and layback and think. I think about what Avery said today. What does make me, me.

I'm strong mentally. I am a strong person. I am a survivor from bullying. Then Skyscraper By Demi Lovato came to mind. I sit up and grab my guitar that's by my desk. I take Naill's pick off my neck and began to strum. I hum the lyrics as I play. I can feel Jay's eyes on me and I can see her smiling when my eyes roll up every once and a while. I strum the last note and Jay stands up and claps for me.

"Yay! I love that song. And your voice is so beautiful. Why did you chose that song?" Should I tell her. I sigh and roll up my sleeves. The scratches have gone away but the scars are still there. Her mouth hangs open and her eyes star in shock. "Wow." Is all she says.

"Yeah, I was bullied but not anymore. I'm a stronger person now and so is Demi Lovato and that's why this song came to mind." I smile up at her and she smiles back. I stand up and hug her. "I am glad your my friend."

"One question." We pull apart. "What does N stand for?" She ask. My eyes go wide and my heart drops.

"Uh."

NIALL'S POV

We just finished dinner and the boys and I are on the back patio chilling. It's about 10:39 and I am exhausted. I stand up to go to bed when a voice stops me.

"Hey Niall" Liam stops me an I turn to look at him. "Last night, about that nightmare." He says like he knows something, or wants to know something. I nod signaling him to proceed. "We all want to know. Who's Lexie?" My mouth hangs open slightly. All eyes are on me. I guess it's time to tell them. I sit back down on a chair and take a deep breath.

"Lexie..."
