Bella's POV

It had been a week. A whole, friggin week and I had remembered nothing apart from behind the stage at the x-factor.

I had cried and screamed and pushed my mind to the limit when the boys weren't around to try and provoke my memory, but there was nothing.

I was sitting on a comfy chair outside in the shade by the pool with my guitar in my hands, strumming a few chords that came to mind. I hadn't touched a guitar since coming back from the hospital and I was tentatively stroking the strings, my left hand practising the chords like I had before.

I realized after playing for a while that it was a song the boys had played for me earlier in the week. It was called Wings and it was by Little Mix. A fantastic song and their voices were so, loud and true.

I began humming because I had forgotten the verses. 

"I didn't know you could play that," Niall's voice startled me and I jumped in my seat and stopped playing as Niall sat down on a chair beside me.

"Sorry," he said sheepishly, obviously apologising for scaring the hell out of me.

"All good," I grinned before I began playing again.

I found myself at the chorus and I began to sing, much to my surprise.

"Mama told me not to waste my life, 

She said spread your wings my little butterfly ,

Don't let what they say keep you up at night 

And they can't detain you 

Cause wings are made to fly," Niall joined in and sung the harmony, startling me but I kept going, his melodious voice over the top of mine.

"And we don't let nobody bring us down

No matter what you say it won't hurt me

Don't matter if I fall from the sky

These wings are made to fly."

I stopped strumming and I turned to see Niall gaping at me and I blushed.

Was I really that bad?

"Sorry, I suck," I mumbled but Niall shook his head.

"You're amazing!" He exclaimed. "Why haven't you sung before?" He asked and my head shot up.

What?

"Um, didn't I sing to you at all?" I asked trying to keep my voice neutral, but it rose about four octaves. So much for being conspicuous.

Niall's mouth open and shut in confusion before finally he spoke. "No, not until in the car," he said, frowning slightly. That's why they were surprised? Not just because I subconsciously knew the words to their song, but could sing?

How could I have never sung? Singing was my, well music was my escape. 

"Am I missing something Niall?" I asked and I saw Niall gulp a little.
