*Dannys POV*

My head went numb. No. No. This can't be right. 21st October 2004? She must have meant another day... My heart beat quickens dramatically and it feels like a trapped bird in my chest. It wants to fly. It wants to be set free. I can't feel the blood going to my head. I feel faint, dizzy, disorientated. Stay calm Dan. Calm.

Willows head is bent over her hands. Her beautiful flaming auburn hair is tousled and there are ringlets running through it. My heart aches at her beauty and I suddenly realise how important she is my life, she understands me and we have shared so many dazzling memories together I can't bear to even think of the thought of letting her go.

I quickly try and scan what actually happened on the night of the 21st October.

I was driving.. In my car? Or was it Marks.. I can't remember. All I can remember is that I was driving home, back from a really good day at the studio. We had written a few songs that day for the first album. They were great and I was coming home buzzing with excitement, I felt like I had accomplished a good day in the studio. I had my Coldplay cd on in the car because I can vividly remember singing the song 'Fix You' loudly because it is one of my favourite songs and it makes you feel so enlightened but emotional at the same time.

Memories are coming back to me now. They are striking me, demanding to be unravelled.

**flashback***

"Lights will guiiiide you home and ignite yourrr bones but I will try to fix you" I was blasting the words out as loud as I could. I had such a great day at work today, Glen had sorted out a new bass backing track and Mark had composed some new guitar chords, even I had managed to settle out some good harmonies. I felt so pleased with myself and the boys for making the most of a what usually was a normal day at the studio. Things were looking up!

The song was dying to a close so I turned the volume down to a much quieter tone. I was nearly home. I was just driving around the corner, ready to come to sights with the roundabout when suddenly I came to sights with another car which was wavering all over the place.

A car?

I was gonna crash.

There was nothing I could do.

It was pitch black.

The full beam of the headlights was blinding me.

It was so slow.

Yet so fast.

I slammed my brakes on giving off a high pitch squeeling noise. But it was too late. All I could hear was a scream. A scream so loud and so long which made you want to scream yourself. It cut through the inky darkness like a especially sharp knife. The screaming just went on and on. I wanted it to stop. To go away. But there was nothing I could do to stop it.

My car collided with the other car.

I heard a crunch and I lifted my hands up to protect my face.

My airbag met my face, cushioning me from the sudden force.

The cars stopped. Stopped. It was over.

Or was it?

Through my cracked windscreen I could make out a figure. A young boy. A young boy? He was lying still. His eyes were closed. His head was bleeding.

I had killed someone.

*end of flashback*

My eyes went wide. It was really me.

I had killed Willows brother.

I had killed Noah.

Wow. Well this is scary. Even for me >.<

This is getting so tense.. I wonder what will happen next. The truths out and what will happen when Willow finds out? Wait and see....
