Present day

Riley

Today is four years since I lost Harry. Turns out Harry's parents made the news, even in New York. They never found Harry though, only his sister. It was one of those things where its extremely painful at first, but becomes sort of numb after that. I've learned to live with what happened and move on from crying everyday, but that doesn't mean he isn't on my mind at certain times. Like today for instance, or my birthday, or even my graduation. I smile to myself as I think about all of the good Harry brought to my life. After all, he was my best friend. I try not to think about what happened that day, instead I think about all of the times he made me smile.

The bracelet he gave me for my 14th birthday remains clasped to my wrist and I haven't taken it off since. I just can't bear the thought of not having something of him to carry with me. I miss him yes, but a part of me really hopes he's happy wherever he is. Even if that isn't with me.

I sigh to myself and make my way downstairs to go to school. After I graduated I got accepted into NYU and decided to just stay in my mothers home until I can actually pull my life together. With my father still being in the army, I wouldn't really feel comfortable with my mother living alone anyway.

"You ready for your first day of college!?" My mother shouts excitedly. I laugh and shake my head. At least one of us is excited.

"Sure, but I'm more nervous than anything." I say and quickly finish my breakfast.

"Oh come on! I bet you'll meet some really nice guys." She says wiggling her brows. I roll my eyes and start putting my things together. I've only dated a few guys in the last couple of years and she thinks that I should start dating again.

"I'm happy being single mom." I state and grab my car keys.

"I'll see you later!" She calls. I smile and wave.

Once inside my car I recieve a text from Jack.

Jack sucks ass - hey, you still picking me up?

Riley Cyrus - yeah, and liz (:

I drive to Elizabeth's house first considering she lives closer.

Riley Cyrus - i'm outside whore (;

Queen Elizabeth - coming!

I laugh and put my phone down. I see a flustered Elizabeth run outside and almost trip causing me to shake my head. She takes a seat and huffs. "You okay there?" I ask amused by her clumsiness.

"Oh i'm just peachy." She replies sarcastically.

"I woke up late this morning and to top it all off, Jeremy wouldn't let me use the bathroom until he was finished showering." She continues rolling her eyes. I nod and make my way over to Jack's.

"Hey." Jack climbs in and slams the car door.

"Really Jack? We've been over this." I sigh and start to back out of his driveway.

"Sorry babe." He shrugs and greets Elizabeth.

Eventually I got over my little crush on Jack. We met Elizabeth not long after and now here we are.

"So..."

"Are you guys as excited as I am!?" Jack exclaims. I shrug and Liz nods her head excitedly. Jack frowns. "Oh c'mon! What's not to be excited about!? Hot new people, better teachers, and college parties!" He yells shaking my arms.

"Hello, driving!?" I point out and laugh. He rolls his eyes but smiles.

"You are seriously no fun Ri." He sighs. I shrug and smile. I'm actually quite happy with who I am.

We part ways once we get to the university and of course the first place I want to explore is the library. It doesn't take long for me to find the place and I quickly make my way to the fiction section. I reach for a certain book that catches my eye but stop as I see someone else reach for it as well. Our hands touch and I immediately pull back.

"Oh sorry." I stammer and feel my cheeks heat up.

"Oh no it's my bad." The tan boy smiles. I smile back and shake my head.

"You can take it." I say handing him the book.

"I've already read it actually, its one of my favorites." He says pushing the book back toward me. I immediately recognize his accent and It reminds me of Harry.

"Why don't you read it and let me know what you think?" He asks. I nod and hug the book to my chest.

"How do you know we'll see each other again?" I ask raising an eyebrow playfully. He smiles and looks down. I can tell he's shy, but I like it. He seems sweet.

"Well how about I take you out for coffee and you can tell me what you think?" He suggests.

"I think you should probably tell me your name first." I point out.

"Oh right, I'm Zayn." He says pulling his hand out. I shake it and turn it over.

"Alright Zayn, I might just take you up on that offer." I say as I take a pen from my bag and write my number.

"And your name?"

"Riley."

"Riley." He repeats.

"I like that." He smiles. His smile is so contagious I can't help but return one.

"Alright well I better get to class." I say and begin to back up. He nods and does the same. I bite my lip and fight the squeal threatening to come out. I make sure to check the book out before making my way to my first class.

Harry

Its been four years since my parents were murdered. After the incident for some unknown reason, they decided to spare me. That didn't exactly mean I was free though. They kept me in a cell for weeks with little food and almost no water. I slept on a floor with not even one blanket. Once they realized that I wouldn't fight back they began to train me. They turned me into the monster I am today. I never realized just how bad my fathers job was until I was apart of it myself. These men, they kill, they rape, they steal, and its all for money. I guess i'm no different, except for the rape part. I'd never touch a woman without her premission. I won't deny that I have killed though. That's my job anyway. I get rid of anyone who gets in the way. The only reason I haven't left yet is because i've been earning their trust. I'll get my revenge when they least expect it.

"Oi Harry!" I hear Louis call. I roll my eyes and stop writing in the journal Riley sent me for my birthday a few years ago. Louis and I never kept in touch when we were younger considering I would always move, but somehow we ended up working for the same men.

"Yeah!?" I yell and throw the journal safely inside a drawer. I didn't like people touching my stuff. Not even Louis.

"Captain wants us to take care of someone." He says shrugging. I sigh and get up from my bed. Always wanting us to do his god damm dirty work. Never gives us a damn break.

"Who is it this time?" I ask and change into the right attire.

"His name is Niall Horan." He says smirking. I nod and tie my shoes.

"Great well lets get to it then." I say brushing past Louis. Today is just going to be like every other day. Simple and boring.

So basically this is four years after the incident where Harry disappears and yeah this is their life now. These are just fillers though, it gets better I promise.

Oh and Zayn's here yay!
