*Ariella's POV*

I walked over to my laptop that laid underneath my bed and gave it to Carie since she is the techy. It took a couple hours but she eventually got it to work when videos came onto the laptop. My mother placed high security to this camera so nobody can just come by and hack it. But she never knew Carie. You see, this camera records everything everyday wherever you place it and never runs out of battery.

My mother, she gave this to me so when she comes back I can show her what my life was like so she didn't miss out on anything... The group and I mostly hang out here so I thought it was a good room to place it in. We had a very large amount of laughs and memories that we taken place in this room. Now I know that she is not ever coming back.. So it is now pointless to me.

"Is that it?" Nicki asked, snapping me out of my thoughts while pointing to one that looked suspicious.. Carie nodded her head. We placed the laptop at the end of the bed. Nicki then faced Carie, and so did I, knowing what Nicki was going to ask Carie.

"Are you going to be okay while watching this?" Nicki asked. She nodded her head. I reached over pressed play and we watched the event slowly unfold, with Niall and Carie talking while watching something on Carie's laptop. Carie's eyes widen and she quickly covered my ears as she and Niall spoke about something on the screen.

He had his head down but I couldn't make out what they were saying. She then uncovered them. This action distracted both Nicki and I. We looked over to her with a confused face. She shrugged and we continued watching Carie scold Niall over whatever he said. That is, until Carie started to freak out as soon as Brittney appeared, walked into the room, slamming the door shut.

"Pause it, pause it, pause it.." She repeated. I pressed pause before she began to speak.

"What's wrong Carie?" I asked. She just breathed in and out slowly.

"I'm alright. Just needed to take a quick break. I'm slowly remembering things. I remembered what happened.. And.. I don't think you would want to hear what's next Ari.." She trailed off.

"Why? What did she say?" I questioned.

"Just don't.." She quietly pleaded.

"When you say that it makes me more curious.. I'm watching it." I pressed on.

"Don't! It will only bring back the old you! Nicki help me here.." She spoke. What? I reached for the laptop before either of them could reach for it and ran into the bathroom, locking myself in. I slid down with my back to the door until I sat on the ground. I was ignoring the pain in my leg as I did so. I really need the nurse to look at it.. I heard muttering on the other side following with a gasp, then banging on the door.

"Ari, open up please!" They pleaded.

"What so now Nicki can know but I can't?" I asked through the door, placing the laptop on the ground in front of me.

"For good reason Ari, now please come out!"

"No!" I yelled. It fell silent so I'm guessing that they stopped trying. I then remembered that Carie didn't let me hear something earlier in the video. I grabbed the laptop and sat in the tub. I pressed rewind for a couple seconds to when they looked up from the laptop before pressing play.

"Niall?" She asked. He sighed.

"I do mean it. That's how I ended up liking Ariella."

"What?"

"Since we are sharing secrets, umm.."

"I wont tell anyone." She smiles.

"Especially Ariella?" he seemed really nervous.

"Of course." She nods.

"Good. Well.. Before I loved Ariella with all of my heart.." He paused and sighed. "My heart first belonged to Brittney."

Oh. Ohhh. OH. WHAT.

"WHAT?!" She screamed. He quickly covered her mouth with his hand but she continued to scold him through his hand.

"You promised that you wont tell anyone.." he begged more than said as he removed his hand slowly.

"I know that but I was expecting someone else, maybe Nicki but BRITTNEY?! Are you serious??!!!"

"I know. I'm disappointed with my self as well. I don't like her anymore though! Like I said I LOVE Ariella." he said.

My heart fluttered as he said this.

"Then... The photo.." She whispered. He groaned.

"It never happened." He told her.

"Oh, actually it did. You just don't remember. Just like you guys wont remember this." A voice said from the door following with it slamming shut and the lock closed up. They turned to face Brittney.

"What are you talking about?" Niall asked.

"You see Nialler,-" She said but Niall cut her off

"Don't call me that." he scowled.

"NIALLER, I flew myself over to Ireland yes. When you found out were you mad, sure. Afterwards, I was invited to the party of yours from your parents and they introduced us, even though we already knew each other. But you of course were so wrapped up on lame old Ariella. So, half way through the party I MAY have put a drug in your drink so you would forget about that night. You kept telling me that you love me and you were so glad that you invited me. That's when I started filming. You were so out of yourself yet it was sooo sexy at the same time." She purred, while acting like a kitty.

"So, now that I've said that, I'm going to make sure that you wont remember it when you wake up." She warned.

Niall looked over to Carie and she had the most mad face I've ever seen.

She walked over to Carie with a needle that she had in her hand and was about to inject something into her arm but she fought back, with Niall helping her. They fought, but the needle got to Carie and she quickly became unconscious. Niall saw her fall and just ran out of the room with Brittney right behind him after grabbing Carie's laptop. They both went to her room down the hall. Then Niall walked out of there and left the building...

I knew it.. So he did cheat on me.. But he was intoxicated by her ways back then.. But he wouldn't go with her to her room and do it.. Right?

He then walked out with a slip of paper in one hand and wiped his mouth with the other.. Hmm.. Then again, he said that he first liked her before me.. So it could go either way.. Wait. It doesn't matter.. We aren't going out. I couldn't give a damn of what he does with Brittney.

God, I need fresh air.

I got up and out of the tub with the laptop tucked under my arm. I unlocked the bathroom door to see Nicki and Carie on their beds sitting their with legs crossed, their heads in their hands and their elbows on their knees. Once I appeared they immediately looked at me with sorrow faces. They know I know. I placed the laptop down next to her before gabbing my camera and admiring it.. Wishing she was here.. Carie was the first to speak.

"Ari-"

"I'm going for a walk." was all I said, cutting her off. I know that came off mean but I need time to myself.. To think about this. I walked out of the room, ignoring the calls from them as I walk out of the building through the back door.


*Carie's POV*

This is all my fault.. If only I remembered sooner-

"Carie?" Nicki said, pulling me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah?"

"Don't blame this on yourself.. You did nothing wrong. The blame goes to Brittney.. As always for being such a bitch." She said while smirking at the end.

"Was I talking out loud?" I asked.

"Maybe.. But that's alright." she said while smiling. I smiled as well.. But then quickly formed a frown.. Ari knows now. I should've remembered.. Whatever she injected me with worked pretty well.. At least until I saw the footage. Niall's gonna be- oh my god..

NIALL!!!!

"OH MY GOD NO!!" I screamed. Nicki quickly panicked.

"What's wrong Carie?!" She asked.

"NO TIME TO EXPLAIN, COME ON WE ARE VISITING THE GUYS FOR A MOMENT. SPECIFICALLY NIALL.." I said while freaking out and tugging her arm.

I dragged her down the hallway to the guys wing and to their door. Along the way Nicki soon caught on as she remembered that I told her that I promised Niall that I won't tell her. Her finding out like this technically counts as me telling her.

"Oh shit.." she said and I frantically nodded, while pounding on the door.

"NIALL!!! NIALL OPEN UP!!" I screamed. I was getting many looks from guys as they opened their doors to see me and wondering what's going on, panic on all of their faces, but I didn't care. Nicki pulled me back from the door.

"I think they know you're here, Carie.." she whispered in my ear. I looked to the guys that were staring at us. I waved awkwardly at the crowd forming in the hall before Drake opened the door with sheer panic on his face. I looked in and saw Louis and Niall there with the same faces as well.

"Hi..." I said quietly. Drake looked down the hallways to see the other guys staring and quickly pulled me in, leaving Nicki to walk in herself and closing the door behind her.

"Babe, what's wrong?! You scared the absolute crap out of us!" He asked me while hugging me around my waist. I placed my arms around his neck and just lost it. I started to cry into his shoulder.

"Carie talk to me.." He pleaded after moments of not responding to them. I shook my head while pulling away and wiping my face of the dripping makeup. I faced Niall while Drake still had his arms around my waist, hugging me from behind, which brought me comfort. And yes... Butterflies.

"I tried Niall.. I'm sorry. I really tried." he looked at me confused, as did the other guys.

"What are you talking about Carie?" He asked me. I sighed. I explained what happened with the video and finished with her walking out without another word. Niall was shocked as were the other guys as they hear this for the first time.

"I'm sorry Niall, I really am. I tried.." I said while crying once more. Drake comforted me by him having a seat on his bed and pulling me to his lap for me to sit on. He draped his arms around me and rocked me side to side slowly while shushing me quietly. I rested my head on his shoulder. Niall took a knee in front of us.

"Hey, its not your fault. She is just very curious. Do you know where she went?" He asked. I shook me head.

"She just walked out." Niall stood up and looked outside. The sun was slowly setting which made the sky turn to a light red and looked really beautiful.

"Don't worry. I know where she is." He smirked while grabbing his coat out of the closet and bringing a blanket. He walked towards the door before turning to face us.

"I'll be back soon. None of this is your fault Carie. Don't worry." He said while sending a grin my way before leaving the room, leaving us all wondering where Ari is right now.
