Don't Let Me Go ~ N.H.

TWO YEARS LATER

I’m now nineteen years old, and the twins are two. We all live in a mansion in London.

Daddy and April have been married since last year. April has gotten used to being a young grandma, and she really likes Niall.

Aubrey and I got a record deal with Syco Records, Simon Cowell’s record label. We have one album under our belts, and we’re working on another. Cherry Chapstick also has a record deal with Simon.

Tonight is One Direction’s big concert at Madison Square Garden, and Aubrey and I are opening for them.

“Are you ready for this?” Aubrey asked me as we got prepped for the concert.

“I sure am!” I said as the hairdresser straightened my hair.

Once we were all ready, we went onstage. We jumped right into “Innocence”, a song I wrote about my experience with Andre and how he raped me. After that song was over, the crowd cheered.

“What’s up, New York City?!” I shouted into the mic.

The crowd cheered again.

“Are you ready for One Direction?!”

They screamed even louder.

“Well, we’re The Southern Belles! I’m Carlie, and this is Aubrey! Let’s do another song!”

After our set was done, Aubrey and I walked backstage…only to see Kami all over Niall.

“Kami! What the fuck do you think you’re doing?! He’s MY boyfriend!” I shouted at Kami.

“He’s mine now,” Kami said deviously.

‘What?! Niall, is this true?!”

“No, it’s not, love!” Niall said. “You know I love only you!”

“You let her get on top of you! YOU LET HER KISS YOU! You know what? We’re OFF the tour, and don’t even THINK about letting us on your next one! Come on, Aubrey. Grab the kids and let’s go.”

Aubrey grabbed the kids from Harry, who had been watching them for me.

Aubrey’s POV

“Aubrey, you can’t go!” Harry pleaded.

“I’m sorry, but Carlie says we’re off the tour because she saw another girl kissing Niall,” I said. “We can still text and Skype each other.”

“That’s true. I’ll miss you sorely.”

“Aw, I’ll miss you, too, but we’ll only be one plane ride away.”

“Okay.”

Carlie’s POV

We got to Dublin seven hours later. Daddy and April had arranged to meet us at baggage claim.

Once Ariel and Rebekah saw Daddy and April, they ran up to them and hugged their legs.

“Hello, loves,” April said, picking them up.

“What are you two doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be on tour with One Direction?” Daddy asked.

“We were, but I saw Niall kissing another girl,” I said.

“What a bastard! I’d say you deserve better, but I really like Niall.”

We got into our cars and drove to Mullingar. However, on the way there, a drunk driver was speeding towards us and crashed into my car. I blacked out instantly.
