The Day I'll Never Forget? (1D/5SOS fanfiction)

Epilogue

**trigger warning for the end of the chapter**

~~~A  year later~~~

“Niall! Please help me with this box!” Elizabeth yells down the stairs.

“Coming, coming, Geez I didn’t know you could yell that loud,” Niall says pounding up the stairs.

“Really you need me to carry this?” Niall asks lifting up the box with one arm struggling slightly.

“Stop trying to show off, you already have me silly,” Elizabeth says lightly punching his arm.

“Look at what you did! You made me drop the box,” Niall teases as they pick up the spilled contents.

“I can’t believe your mom let us redo your basement to live in,” Niall says after everything is put back into the box.

“I know right, I’m  almost seventeen though. I’m practically an adult,” Elizabeth says with a smile.

“I know,” Niall says raising his eyebrows.

“NIALL!” Elizabeth yells and whacks him on the back of his head.

“Oww, what was that for?” Niall whines and rubs his head.

“Do you want me to kiss your head to make you feel better?” Elizabeth asks like a mother talks to her two year old.

“Yeah,” Niall responds like a two year old.

“Alright,” Elizabeth goes to kiss the back of his head but Niall quickly moves and their lips come in contact instead.

“You little stinker!” Elizabeth yells and Niall runs into the kitchen.

“Catch me if you can,” Niall teases running.

“I got you!” Elizabeth says grabbing his shirt.

“Oh you did. What are you going to do to punish me?” Niall asks looking at Elizabeth’s lips.

“Hmmm,” Elizabeth leans in like she is going to kiss him, once their lips are about to brush she backs out.

“That,” Elizabeth says with a smile.

“Oh you little turd!” Niall says chasing Elizabeth.

Just as Niall is about to get Elizabeth the phone rings causing them to stop dead in their tracks. Niall walks over to the phone and answers it.

“Hello,” Niall says picking up the phone.

“Mhm.. yeah we can come.. ok see you soon,” Niall says into the phone.

“What was that about?” Elizabeth asks looking at Niall.

“Well the police officers found something that could answer our questions about Jackson,” Niall says barely saying Jackson.

“Ok, then let’s go,” Elizabeth says grabbing the car keys.

“Oh no no no, I’m driving,” Niall says with a laugh grabbing the car keys.

Elizabeth’s POV

It’s probably a good thing that he’s driving, I would be thinking too much. What else could they find about this guy? I mean they went through his house a while ago, what else could they find?

 

“Are you okay?” Niall asks Elizabeth glancing at her.

“Yeah, I’m just thinking,” Elizabeth responds.

“What you are you thinking about?” Niall asks.

“How you ridiculous we look with paint all over our clothes,” Elizabeth lies.

“Ha ha, I didn’t think of that,” Niall responds with and snorts.

Elizabeth’s POV

 I had to lie to him; I don’t want him to think I can’t handle this. I’ve wanted these answers for years….

“Aright, we are here, you sure you’re okay?” Niall asks Elizabeth.

“Yes, I’m fine. Let’s go,” Elizabeth replies getting out of the car.

“Come here,” Niall says pulling Elizabeth closer and grabs her hand.

“Elizabeth, Niall finally you are here,” the police officer they saw a year ago says.

“Yeah, we are just getting our place ready,” Niall says smiling.

“I see that,” the police officer says with a hoarse laugh.

“So what did you want to show us?” Elizabeth asks anxiously.

“Well step into my office and I’ll show you,” the police officer responds gesturing to his office.

“So a couple had moved into Jackson’s house. We decided to leave all the furniture in there because Jackson had no family to reach out to. The couple had found a piece of paper,” the police officer begins to say.

“Ok, what did it say?” Elizabeth asks anxiously.

“You can read it for yourself,” the police officer declares and hands them the piece of paper.

‘By the time someone reads this it will be too late to save me. I will be gone. But before I go I want to explain some stuff. I faked being Luke Hemmings, that’s why he seemed so weird, and mean. All I wanted was to be loved but being a jerk and pretending to be someone probably wasn’t my best move. I’ve done this to a few other music groups, I just can’t think of the names of the bands. And for that I’m sorry.

 

I also kidnapped Niall and Luke just so I could have some sort of company; no one had stayed at my house since when I was younger.

 

When I was younger I went out to lunch with my mom, that was the last time I had saw her alive. In the car. And it’s all my fault she’s dead. My dad was right, he left me for my huge mistake leaving me all by myself, which was the last night I saw him.

 

I just couldn’t take the pain anymore, I needed to die already. I couldn’t do it by myself though, which is why I took Elizabeth on the roof with me. I was hoping the impact of the cement and the body would kill me but the stupid doctors had to save me. I have a gun right now; I’m going to the hospital. I’m going to shoot myself, not anyone else. Well that’s about all I can think of to put in this. Goodbye world.

~Jackson

 

“Oh my god,” Elizabeth mumbles after reading the whole thing.

“So does that answer your questions?” the police officer asks looking at Niall and Elizabeth.

“Yes it does, thank you for showing me this,” Elizabeth replies and Niall just nods his head agreeing.

“Alright, thanks for coming,” the police officer says getting up from his chair and opens the door.

“Thanks for having us,” Niall responds and walks out of the police station.
