The next morning I woke up to find Harry making breakfast. “Hey Em. I was thinking that we could hang out with the boys today.” I didn't know he was talking about. “Who?” Realization spread over his face. “Oh you don't remember them that’s right. I was talking about the other boys in One Direction. You are pretty good friends with them, and they always make you giggle.” I still didn't know who he was talking about, but they sounded like a fun group of boys. “I’d love to hang with them.” Harry smiled showing his bright white teeth. He handed me a plate of bacon, eggs, toast, and hash browns. “Thanks chef Harry”. He giggled at my comment. “Your welcome. We are going to meet the boys at 12 okay?” I held a thumbs up not being able to tear myself away from the amazing bacon he had cooked.
Later, at about 12:10 we arrived at one of the boys houses name Louis. He kindly greeted us gave me a tight squeeze and then let us in his house. The other boys where already there. Even though it was obvious we had all met before, all of the boys introduced themselves. “How are you feeling love?” The words came from the boy known as Liam. “I’m feeling fine, I just cant remember anything”. I laughed it off not wanting sympathy. He laughed as well as the other boys. “Now Em I know you won’t remember this but it was your favorite part of our meet ups”, Louis spoke like an announcer. “It’s truth or dare time”, He continued. All the boys where yelling in excitement for the suspenseful game of truth or dare. With a look of confusion on my face, Louis explained how to play. “Emerson truth or dare?” Niall asked me. “Dare”. He though for a moment before coming upon the right dare. “I dare you to lick Louis’ foot”, he erupted in laughter. Louis held up his foot. I closed my eyes hesitant. I moved forward and back as quick as possible not wanting to lick his foot for a long time. The boys where laughing so I laughed too. It was my turn next to ask. “Harry, truth or dare?” I had both a dare and a truth ready. Both had to do with his love life. I really liked him and I wanted to know if the feeling was mutual. “Truth”, he answered my question. “Perfect”, I thought to myself. “Who is your latest love interest?” he paused thinking to himself. “I guess Christine from the Britain Fashon Awards. She’s quite fit.” instantly my eyes watered. I couldn't stand for him to talk like that about another girl. I tried to smile and brush it off. It was hard but I was finally able to retract the tears from my eyes. We went on with the game, but all I could here was Harry’s words being played over and over again. I had fooled my heart into thinking he really liked me, but I guess we where truly just friends. “Em? Emerson?” “What?” I was shook from my daze. “Truth or dare?” I replied to Harry. not having the energy to get up or do anything I chose truth. “Who is your latest love interest?” I didn't know what to say. My mouth became dry. “I rather not say”. I had no answer. I couldn't tell him how I felt. I already knew how he felt about me. “You have to tell us”, Zayn nagged me. All the boys started yelling things like, “come on tell us”, and ,”we won't tell”. Their words got louder and louder. “Alright fine, I’ll tell you”. I paused to keep them in suspense but also because i had no idea what I would say next. In an instant I decided to be fearless and maybe a little reckless. “I love Harry alright?” I instantly got up from my spot on the ground. I didn't want to hear what anyone said and I definitely didn't want to see Harry’s reaction. I stormed off into what looked like Louis’ bedroom. Tears where falling fast down my face. My chest was moving frantically as it was hard to breathe through my sobs. Feeling a wave of anger I threw a shoe from Louis’ bed against the wall. It didn't help. I was so stupid to think he could love me. I slowly walked down stairs not causing any attention. The boys where no longer on the floor. They where actually no where to be seen. I walked out of the back door and started walking. Where was I walk to? I have no idea. Maybe to China for all I care. I walked until their was no more sidewalk so I began to walk on the road. There was a loud beep from behind me scaring me out of my skin. I turned to see a man pulling up beside me. “Hi. Do you need a ride?” I shook my head. I may have lost my memory, but I knew from instinct it wasn't good to talk to strangers. I continued to walk, but he followed. “Come on I won’t bite.” The man was so persistent. I started getting nervous as I look at is very large, muscular arms, that could easily capture me. His eyes almost twitched with a creepy look. I was no longer crying. I was to scared to feel any emotion but nervousness. I tried to walk faster, almost jogging from the car. Instantly, like clock work, the man got out of is car and moved aggressively toward me. I picked up speed, sorting now. The freakishly large man was to fast. He grabbed me locking his arms tightly around me. I squirmed, kicked and punched, trying to get out oh his grasp. I was released only to fall flat on my face. I could now feel a warm liquid running down my face,blood. My arms and legs where pretty scraped up as well. I got back on my feet and started to sprint with all of the energy in my body. There was an excruciating pain in my knee that hadn't surfaced until now. I had no time to check it out I was running for my life. Hoping I would lose the guy I went towards the woods. Being the athletic guy he obviously was he got there before I did. He jumped on my, holding my body to the ground. His weight crushed mr ribs. I screamed to point where my throught burned. I began to black out. There was black specs in my vision that almost looked like small worms. The weight was unexpectently lifted off of me, but I was unable to move. My legs became stationary not leaving their place on the rough gravel road. I could barely breathe through the pain in my lungs. I heard screaming, but I couldn't tell where it was coming from. I didn't look to see who was letting out the shrill either. “Are you okay?” I couldn't keep my eyes open, but I recognized the voice. “Louis?” “I’m here love. No one is going to hurt you. I’ve already called the police and ambulance.” The a sigh of relief I let myself drift into unconsciousness.
Bright light filled my eyes. As soon as the images in front of me became clear I realized where I was. I was in a hospital. I looked left to see Niall, Zayn, and Liam sitting their. I looked to the right to see Louis and Harry. Harry’s eyes where even more red and puffy then when I was in the hospital for my car accident. “You’re awake”, Harry was the first to realize I had opened my eyes. I smiled weakly. His smile still made me melt. I couldn't believe I had him as a best friend. I still remembered when we where 10 and we went to the lake everyday during summer. It was beautiful. We would swing on a rubber tire, play tag, and tell jokes. I would never forget that. “Can I have something to drink?” I spoke with a raspy voice. “Sure. I’ll go get something. anyone else want something?” Harry opened his mouth, but I knew exactly what he wanted. It was his favorite drink from a vending machine. “Harry wants a diet cherry coke”. I didn't hesitate for a moment. Harry’s eyes went big. “How did you know what I wanted?” He whispered looking very surprised for some reason. “It’s what you always get.” I laughed a little not understanding what he big deal was. All the boys faces suddenly went stiff. “Em, What’s my favorite pizza topping?” Niall asked. “You like pepperoni but if it’s Saturday then you like plain cheese.” I replied with ease. I couldn't figure out what the big deal was. This is stuff I knew by heart. I thought hard, trying to understand what they where all thinking about. Louis spoke,”When did we meet?” “Three years ago when you guys where on the X-Factor.” Harry had a tear running down his cheek. He didn't look upset though. He actually looked extremely happy. “Guys what is the big deal?” Harry got up from his chair and walked to my side. He bent over wrapping his arms around me, and giving me one of is famously warm hugs. I pulled him in tight. “You got your memory back.” Harry whispered in my ear.
