Delilah’s p.o.v. My eyes slowly crept open to the bright lights I cringed at the pain in the back of my head. My hand instantly reaching where the pain was to feel stiches “Don’t touch that” I heard Phoenix say as he entered the room. “You hit your head pretty hard Delilah what were you and Niall doing?” Niall, oh my where is he I remember it all now the alleyway, and the four boys Niall owed money to. “Where is he? Is he okay? Why isn’t he here?” I kept questioning Phoenix when I saw his expression change. “Niall left. He wouldn’t tell me why but he told me to give you this letter.” I took the letter just as the nurse walked in “ok Ms. Barlow you are being released you may get dressed and leave as you wish!” I was still very curios what was on the note but I hurriedly collected my stuff and got dressed with what Phoenix brought me. As the two hospital doors opened the cool breeze hit my face “I parked over here” Phoenix stated “Um thanks but I think I’m going to walk home, I need some fresh air and I want to read the note on my way.” I said through shy breath “Um okay I’ll see you back at the flat.” I started my walk and pulled out the note and started to read. Delilah- I know this might hurt to hear but I’ve went back to Ireland for good. I’m not coming back and I don’t need you to come out here looking for me. The gang leader Harry Styles won’t stop until he gets his money and payback or until he can’t find me anymore so I’ve chosen to go away because I can’t stand to see you get hurt again. You mean everything to me but this is what’s best for both of us if I’m here I can’t hurt you anymore. So I need you to delete me from your memory, pretend I never existed, if you have anything of mine or anything then reminds you of me burn it. I want you to be happy and for that to happen you need to forget about me. It hurts me a lot but at least I know you’ll be safe Harry won’t bother you anymore now that I’m gone. I’m sorry I didn’t get to say goodbye to you but it killed me to see you on the hospital bed and it made me realize I would just cause more damage so I left. I love you forever and always. Xoxoxo Niall. The tears were pouring like a fountain, this couldn’t be he couldn’t have just left me but not just left me he left me without saying goodbye. How could he do this? I needed to clear my head so I went to the place where I know I could think or the place Niall might be before he leaves for the airport. I went to the water spring were we had our first date. I kept picking up the pace of my walk until it turned into a full on sprint to get there. I reached the bush and pushed them aside squirming through them to the spring. I was praying Niall was here I needed to say goodbye or beg him to stay I mean I’m a big fucking girl I can handle the situation with him. I sprinted towards the spring thinking I saw a shadow sitting by the water but when I got there I realized it was just a bush I fell to my knees weeping. He was gone he was really gone I would never see his beautiful crystal blue eyes again, I would never hear his thick Irish accent again, I would never see him again. The love of my life is gone, gone forever. He slipped through my fingers just like that. “He left didn’t him? He has a habit of doing that!” a voice coming from behind me I stood up and wiped my tears away from my face to see the person talking. It was the boy with the shaven head and big brown eyes from the Harry’s gang fear struck all over my body. “What do you want? Are you here to take me to Harry?” I spat, he sighed “No, I left the gang after what happened I don’t want to hurt anybody anymore!” I then felt enraged with anger “Oh you couldn’t have thought about that before you guys hurt Niall! It’s you and your stupid gang’s fault he’s gone and he left me!” I screamed and fell to my knees wrapping my arms around them and weeping. I felt strong arms wrap around me as he sat me on his lap, I tried to squirm free but he had a tight grip around my waist. “Look I think we got off on the wrong foot so let’s start over I’m Liam and I’ve known Niall for a very long time he actually used to be in the gang and be my best friend before he started doing drugs and stealing money from all of us to buy them and I’m very sorry that this caused him to leave you but he never stays anywhere to long and he just leaves without telling anybody because he thinks it’s easier on them but it’s really not unless he leaves you a note then you know he might actually come back.” I gasped and faced Liam “He left me a note.” Liam looked at me questionably then started “Wow Niall actually fell in love with a girl.” I gave him a disgusted look “Are you kidding me if he loved me he would of never left me!” I stated through clenched teeth and tears pouring out of my eyes. “He doesn’t love me at all.” Liam took his thumb and dried away my tears “He’d be crazy not to!” I felt comforted by his words and hugged him “Thank you” I sighed “Anytime love.” I don’t know why I felt safe by talking to him especially since everything that happened but I felt like I could trust I mean he was once Niall’s best friend before Niall did what he did.
