Healing the Heart
Chapter Eight: No Memory!?
Dylan's POV
It had been a couple months since that late night talk. The guys were a lot of fun and we have gotten really close.Mimi and Niall spent so much time together it seemed like they were dating, even though they refused to admit that they like each other.
Nothing exciting has really happened.I mean we went to interviews and performed and things like that but nothing major.
I have been tracking this criminal for the past month so I have been working a lot.The government lets me do their dirty work when they can't figure it out, or just don't want to do it.I was their best agent, I had mastered thing they needed like tracking and weaponry.I also know how to do some things that they don't like, for example hacking or sneaking about without anyone noticing.
We were also planning a Halloween ball at school.It was going to be a masquerade ball.All the kids that wanted to could dress up in ball uniforms and have dates.If you didn't want to dress up in a ball outfit then you could just wear a costume or nothing at all.There would be a lot of food,music,dancing,movies, and even a Halloween King and Queen.
The ball took a long time to make.We had to decorate, set up the bands, get food, and all that really boring stuff.We sent out invites to every single person in the school.
The ball was going to be tonight after out interview and performance on some show.
"Dylan!" I snap out of my thoughts and turn around to see who said my name.The rest of the girls stood behind me in their interview outfits.
Eve had long curly bright pink hair and her makeup. With a black outfit.
Char had long straight bright blue hair and her makeup.With a blue outfit and white tennis shoes.
Bri had long wavy light purple hair and her makeup.With a blue, black, and floral outfit.
Mimi had medium slightly wavy light pink hair with the ends dip died hot pink and her makeup.With a pink,white, and floral outfit.
"Are you ready?" Eve asks.
I turn back around and look at myself in the mirror.I had long curly bright red hair and my makeup.With a red,black,grey, and white plad outfit.
I sigh and turn back to them,"Lets get this over with."

Louis's POV
"Come on lads the girls are on!" I yell at the others.
Since the girls had a live interview today me and the lads decided to stay home and watch them instead of going with them.The two most popular bands in the world in one place, that would be to much trouble, not to mention the rumors people have been making up about us.
The media keeps saying our bands are dating each other.I mean I know Niall and Mimi are close, and since Zayn broke up with Perrie he had spent more time with the girls, and that we spend almost all our free time with the girls, but really!? Okay maybe it did make a little sense but it's not true.
I was brought out of my thoughts when someone landed on me and popcorn went everywhere.I look to see who it was and noticed Harry on my lap with a bowl of popcorn.I guess her jumped onto the couch where I was sitting, by the looks of it all the lads jumped on at the same time.
I was about to say something when Niall yelled, "Look their on."We all turned to watch.
The girls were sort of sitting on a couch.Eve,Bri, and Mimi were witting on the three person couch.Char was lying on their laps with her hands behind her head on the left arm and her feet kicked up on the right arm.Dylan was lying on the back edge of the couch with her head propped up in her hand.The interviewer introduced them and once the audience calmed down she started the interview.
"So what is it like going from not well known to the biggest girl band in the world," the interviewer asked.
The girls looked at each other and then Char said."It really is amazing."
Mimi continues for her."We never thought we would be..."
Dylan finished for her."..........This well known."
Bri continued it for her."And now that we are........."
Eve finishes for her."..........It feels like a dream come true."
The interviewer looked a little surprised at them.No one thought they would do that.The girls started laughing at his face.
After they stopped he continued."So you five just came out with a new album, is that correct?"
All the girls nodded.Dylan said,"Yes we did, it's called We Are Who We Are."
"And you are going to perform one of the songs on that album,here today, is that also correct."
"Yes it is, we are raising money to stop bullying so today we are performing Brave." Eve said.
"Good, I'm looking forward to it.Now why have you decided to raise money for bullying?Have any of you experienced it before."
All the girls except Dylan raised their hand.The interviewer turned on Dylan."So you haven't experienced any bullying before?"
She shrugged." I don't know."
"You don't know."
"No, I don't remember anything before I was 16."She said like it was nothing.We all stare at the screen in shock.
"Oh, I thought that was just some rumor someone made up?" The interviewer said in surprise.
"It's not."She said.It was silent for a while until the interviewer kept going.
"Well speaking of rumors what about you girls and One Direction,huh."Immediately all the girls but Dylan blushed.
Dylan sighed."If your talking about the rumor with all of us dating, it's not true."
"Well I think we are running out of time so why don't you girls preform?"
They all shrugged and said "Sure."
They got up onto the stage and the music started:
Brave by Sara Bareilles:
(Mimi)
You can be amazing
You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug
You can be the outcast
Or be the backlash of somebody’s lack of love
Or you can start speaking up
(Char)
Nothing’s gonna hurt you the way that words do
When they settle ‘neath your skin
Kept on the inside and no sunlight
Sometimes a shadow wins
But I wonder what would happen if you
(Dylan)
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
(Bri)
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
(Eve)
I wanna see you be brave
(Bri)
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
(Eve)
I wanna see you be brave
(Mimi)
Everybody’s been there,
Everybody’s been stared down by the enemy
Fallen for the fear
And done some disappearing,
Bow down to the mighty
(Char)
Don’t run, just stop holding your tongue
Maybe there’s a way out of the cage where you live
Maybe one of these days you can let the light in
Show me how big your brave is
(Dylan)
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
(Eve)
And since your history of silence
Won’t do you any good,
Did you think it would?
Let your words be anything but empty
Why don’t you tell them the truth?
(Dylan)
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave
(Bri)
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
(Eve)
I wanna see you be brave
(Bri)
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
(Eve)
See you be brave
(Bri)
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
When they were done the interviewer signed off for the show and it was all over like that.

Dylan's POV
The girls were all in my room getting ready for the Halloween Ball.I sat on my bed in my outfit and mask.
Eve sat next to me in her outfit and mask.
The boys were going to perform at the ball, so where we, along with some other bands. Speaking of the boys they were our dates.I was going with Liam,Char with Zayn,Niall with Mimi,Bri with Louis, and Eve with Harry.When I say dates I mean they were just taking us as friends.Anyways they were each going to wear masks to match their dates.Liam was going to wear a black and silver mask,Harry was going to wear a red mask,Niall was going to wear a black mask,Zayn was going to wear a gold mask, and Louis was going to wear a black and white mask.And they were all going to dress nicely of course.
Char and Mimi walked out of my closet in their outfits.Mimi in a black rose dress and mask and Char in a gold dress and mask.
"Now all we need is Bri." I say loudly so she could hear me in the bathroom.
"I'm almost done,I promise." She yells back.We wait for about 5 minutes and she comes out in her black and white dress and mask.
Eve and I stand up."Okay lets go."

I sit at a table in gym at the ball.Eve and Bri were setting up for our performance while Mimi and Char were dancing with Zayn and Niall.Liam,Louis, and Harry were in the corner talking to some of their fangirls.
I tap my finger on the table nervously.They had figured out I had no memory.They hand't talked to me yet and I am glad they didn't. It's not my most favorite subject.I mean I can talk about it just fine, it doesn't bother me, but it was the looks that made me hate it.People always looked sorry for me, like they pitied me, and I hated it.I have gotten along fine, made myself known, and they think they have the right to judge me like that just because I don't remember. That's just plain stupid, I mean not having memory doesn't effect me in any way shape or form at the moment so why the hell do they care.
I jump when someone puts a hand lightly on my shoulder.I look up and see Liam smiling down at me."Sorry, I didn't mean to frighten you."He said nicely.
I try my best to smile."It's fine."
He nodded to the dance floor"You want to dance?"
The question honestly took me aback."S-sure."Great I sound like an idiot.
He held his hand out for me to take.I stand up and take his hand, letting him lead me to the dance floor.I was so tense, I hadn't danced with many people since Evan died.No, I'm not going to think about that.How can he look so comfortable when I'm so, well not.I bet everyone noticed but him.This is so wrong.I shouldn't be dancing with another guy.
I llok at him,his eyes were the same color as Evan's.I didn't notice that before.Why was I dancing with him? I felt angry and upset.I felt like I hated Liam.It's not fair that I hate him just because he reminds me of someone.
"So, can I ask you something?" He asks.
I slowly nod.
"In the interview you said you had no memory,is that true."I nod again.There it is, I can see the pity in his eyes.IO op[en my mouth to say something so he will leave me alone but Eve interrupts."Dylan we have to change and perform."
I look at her gratefully and step away from Liam.I walk as quickly as I can to the changing room.I could hear Eve apologizing for my behavior behind me but I didn't care.I got into the changing room and closed the door to the bathroom.I quickly change into my angel outfit and get out.
When I exit the bathroom the girls are there in their outfits.Eve was a cat.Char was a witch.Bri was a bee. And Mimi was a cow girl.I nod at them and we go on stage.Eve explains the song and introduces us.We all get out mic's and char went to her drums, Mimi and Bri got their guitars, and Eve and I got out bass guitars.
Decode by Paramore
(Dylan)
How can I decide what's right?
When you're clouding up my mind
I can't win your losing fight
All the time
(Eve)
Nor could I ever owe what's mine
When you're always taking sides
But you won't take away my pride
No, not this time
Not this time
(Char)
How did we get here?
When I used to know you so well?
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know
(Dylan)
The truth is hiding in your eyes
And its hanging on your tongue
Just boiling in my blood
But you think that I cant see
(Eve)
What kind of man that you are
If you're a man at all
Well, I will figure this one out
On my own
(Bri)
(I'm screaming, I love you so)
(Mimi)
On my own
(Bri)
(But my thoughts you can't Decode)
(Char)
How did we get here?
When I used to know you so well?
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know
(Bri)
Do you see what we've done?
Were gonna make such fools of ourselves
Do you see what we've done?
Were gonna make such fools of ourselves
(Char)
How did we get here
When I used to know you so well? Yeah, Yeah
How did we get here
When I used to know you so well?
(Mimi)
I think I know
I think I know
There is something I see in you
It might kill me, I want it to be true
Once we were done we went and changed back into our ball outfits.When I come out Liam is standing there."How about we finish our dance" He asked.God, can't this guy take a hint.That's when my phone rings.
I grab it and answer it.Cief immesdiatly starts talking."Dylan we found your guy you need to get him."
"Sure where?"
He gave me the adress then hung up.I look at Liam." SOrry I have to go,Chief just called me in."
"It's fine." Did he look disappointed.
"Sorry." I say not really meaning it and I left.
