Plot 22

Chapter 1

Megan POV

I didn't know what was going on. Harry was in tears, Niall was trying to comfort me, and I was trying my hardest not to pass out. My sister wasn't dead, and this wasn't happening. I grabbed on the kitchen counter for support. I didn't understand what Niall was saying, but I really didn't care. Nothing was right.

"Shut up", I finally said to Niall and Harry. Harry was sobbing right now, and he turned to me. Niall took his hands off me.

"I'm sorry, Megan", Harry said.

"Why are you apologizing?"

"Because of Ashley".

"Why? What happened?" Harry looked at Niall.

"She-she died", Harry said.

"Oh, that. No, she didn't". I got up and walked to the living room.

"I know it's hard", Niall said, "but she did die".

"Did you see her?"

"No".

"Then, you don't know that she's dead". Harry wiped his nose.

"Megan, I talked to the police. He just left the car accident. Ashley's dead".

"Look", I told them, "I know my sister. We're twins. We have a connection. If she were dead, I would know it first. Trust me, she's alive".

"STOP IT", Harry yelled, "SHE'S DEAD. WE'RE NEVER GOING TO SEE HER AGAIN. ACCEPT THAT. I'M TRYING TO.YOU'RE JUST MAKING THIS HARDER". Niall hugged him.

"Calm down, mate. Calm down. I know it hurts. I'll take care of Megan. You go ahead to the hospital". Harry grabbed his jacket and walked out the door. Before he left, I saw fresh tears fall down his face.

"I don't know why you're sending him to the hospital, Niall. Ashley isn't dead. I'm telling you. My sister is still alive. I know it". Niall walked over to me with his arms outstretched.

"Pretending she's still here isn't going to make her come back".

"Look, Niall. I know that you believe it, but you are going to have to trust me. Now, I came here to say something to you. I'm not going to let this stop me".

"Okay, what is it?"

"Niall, I love you. I have always loved you. It kills me to know that you might not actually feel the same way, but I can't go the rest of my life without knowing it. If you don't feel the same way, I will leave. I won't ever come back, and I won't bother you again. But, if you do, I'm here. And, I can promise you that I won't ever leave".

"Megan..".

The way he said my name told me that he didn't feel the same. It told me that I was a fool for coming here, and things would never the same between us. It told me-. His lips were on mine. His fingers went through my hair. We were pressed up against the wall.

"I'll take that as a yes", I said against his lips. He chuckled.

"Wait", he said, pulling away, "I can't go any further".

"Why not? We have before."

"Megan, your sister is dead. She is no longer living. You need to go to the hospital".

"Niall, I know that you're really concerned, and I appreciate that. But, I'm not going to the hospital. There's no point. Ashley isn't there". 

Niall POV

She had to go. I'm sure they were going to have Ashley's funeral within the next couple of days, and Megan would never forgive herself if she didn't go to the hospital. I knew Ashley was dead, but I played along.

"You know what?", I said, "I believe you. But, we need to be there for Harry. He doesn't know what we know. So, we need to go the hospital and let him cry. Please? Do it for me".

"Okay", she finally said, "I'll go, but only for Harry".

She grabbed her jacket and walked to the door. I didn't know how she was going to take it when she realized that Ashley really was gone. I grabbed her hand, and we walked to the car.
