The Sorrowful Past.

Emma's birthday was made special by an anonymous person, and she was quite delighted. She was on her way to see Niall and to also give him the news that Sarah has woke up. She wanted to meet Sarah as soon as possible but she also knew that Niall has been depressed due to Sarah's situation so she wanted her with him. She finally reached there and was standing outside.

She went in, there was no one except some house cleaners. All the maids were doing their work silently.

'Where's Mr. Niall?' She asked one of the maids.

'Up, in his bedroom. He told us to clean the house except for the room in which he is.' The maid said and continued her work.

She started to walk towards the stairs when another maid stopped her.

'I'm sorry ma'am but...'

'But?' Emma asked.

'He said, he needs some alone time and no one should disturb so, please be careful. You know his anger.' The maid continued and started doing her work again.

Emma nodded and went up to Niall's room. She slowly opened the door of his room. The room was dark the curtains covered the windows. It gave a cold sensation to her. She slowly stepped in and saw Niall sleeping on his bed. He had rolled himself from toe to head in the blanket...

****

I went towards him and stood in front of him. His face was a bit exposed and could be seen a bit. I could feel he was sleeping a deep sleep. His face was pale and he looked too innocent. Even when he was sleeping I could see how depressed he was.

I still remember that day...

I was completing some extra work at night in the office when suddenly my phone rang, it was from Niall. I picked it up quickly,

'Hello, how's your date going? Did she like the gift?' I asked.

He took a deep breath and said,

'I'm at the hospital.'

'What?! Why?' I instantly reacted shockingly.

'Is everything okay?' I asked.

'I want a favor from you. Can you come to the hospital I need someone here?' He asked.

It was the first time when he asked me for a favor. I knew him since he and Jeremy were best friends as they both studied in the same school. He was very arrogant but he also loved his girlfriend a lot. I saw his loving side for the first time when I saw him with her. With her, he was a different person.

I quickly gathered all my things and ran towards the parking lot. After driving for ten minutes I reached the hospital in which he was. I went in and asked the receptionist,

'Is there any emergency patient here, admitted about thirty minutes ago?' I asked in a hurry.

'Yes, there is. A girl named....' She said and started looking at her computer.

'Yeah, Sarah. Sarah Brown in the emergency ward, she has just arrived.' She said.

'What?!' I yelled.

I stepped back a bit in shock, my breath slowed down for a minute. I was about to fall to the ground when a stranger held me.

'Ma'am you're okay?' He said.

I stood back up and nodded. Then I rushed towards the emergency ward. I saw Niall roaming in front of the door of the ward.

'What happened?' I asked as I went to him.

He looked at me with teary eyes. He was on the verge of crying, I never saw him in that state. His frowned eyebrows showed that he was worried at an extreme level.

His white shirt which he was wearing was all red. His hands and even his face had some blood patches. He looked devastated, His eyes were afraid of whatever was going to happen.

'Sh...' He tried to speak but it was like he ran out of breath and words. He had been crying inside all this time.

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes and said,

'She has a deep wound in the back of her head.'

'You may sit here I'll talk to the receptionist to call her mom and inform her about it.' He said.

I held his wrist and said,

'But...her mother doesn't know about you.'

'I'll be an anonymous informer.' He said and left.

I looked through the small glass framed in the center of the emergency wards room. There was blood everywhere.

No one knew at that time that, Sarah, will forget completely about her past. About me, Jeremy, Lisa, and about the person whom she loved the most. Whom she promised to spend all her life with, Niall.

After the doctor came out Niall asked him worriedly about Sarah's condition.

'The wound she has is very deep. We still don't what consequences it has.' The doctor said and left.

Niall without saying a word went somewhere and I secretly followed him.

He went outside the hospital in a dark alley and kicked the wall thrice. He screamed and kneeled. He kept his head on his head and started crying. It was the first time when I saw him broke down like this. I peeped through a wall and cried standing there. I was helpless, there was only one he loved the most, and that was Sarah, he had no idea what will happen to her. He stayed there for like half an hour and then suddenly his phone rang. He wiped his tears and picked up the phone.

'Hmm...' He said.

'I'll be there tomorrow.' He said and ended the phone call.

I went back to the hospital when I felt that he was about to come too.

Niall sat by her side all night waiting for her to wake up, she had stitches all over the back of her head She opened her eyes and stood up with a smile on his face. She looked at him for a moment and asked,

'Who are you?'

Niall stood there gasping while tears started to form in her eyes.

'Why can't I remember anything? Why am I at the hospital?' She kept asking questions.

'Ah!! my head hurts.' She whispered.

Listening to this Niall instantly came back to his senses, he called the doctor.

'How are you feeling? You had an accident yesterday and this man bought you here.' The doctor stated.

'But who is he?' Sarah asked again I was there standing and watching Niall's love forgetting him in front of his own eyes.

'He is...' Niall kept his hand on the doctor's shoulder and shook his head.

He went outside and I followed him. The doctor came outside and said,

'It's dangerous to make her remember about her past.'

Niall listened to the doctor's words and left the hospital I ran behind him, trying him to stop.

'Niall, wait!! We have to make her remember you.' I said.

'No.' He said coldly.

'But she can't forget you, Niall, you love her.' I did.

'So what!!' He yelled.

'I love her but I can't make her remember me in a way that could kill her.' He said.

It was the first time when I saw his apoplexy.

'But Niall...'

'It's better for me to stay away from her.' He interrupted and sat in his car.

Her mom came to the hospital as soon as she was informed Niall had messaged me to stay there until everything was settled. So, after seeing her mom visiting her I left and went to Jeremy.

He looked already devasted,

'Jeremy you're...'

'I need to meet Niall.' He interrupted and went out of the house.

Dad was on a trip so, I had no worries if I had left him alone. So, I let him go.

He was quite angry, I knew that he loved Sarah. So, I was quite worried about he has to talk to Niall about it.

After that day, Niall locked him up in his own house for five months, and Jeremy avoided to talk about Sarah.

Niall and Jeremy started hating each other now. I till this date don't know what they both talked about that day.

I was lost in all these thoughts when my concentration broke by a voice saying,

'What are you doing here?...'
