EMILY'S POV

I woke up with a pain in my body. I slowly opened my eyes just to be welcomed by a bright light. I started to blink, my eyes adjusting to the lights and once I was adjusted to the light, I looked around and saw outside the window, the wind was blowing cold and the sky was filled with stars, it was night.

I slowly tried to get up but felt a sudden pain in my leg causing me to let out a low shriek, closing my eyes tight.

"Hey, are you fine?" I heard someone's voice, I opened my eyes and looked in the direction of the voice. It was RJ. I didn't know he was here.

"When did you come here?" I asked ignoring his previous question.

RJ was looking at the me frantically, "I was sleeping here, then heard your shriek which woke me up. Are you alright?" He asked looking into my eyes with worry.

I smiled. "I'm fine. It's just-," I stopped and looked around me. I was in the infirmary of our HQ. I looked at the bandages around my arms and leg.

"What happened to me?" I asked RJ.

He looked at him with a sad smile, "You got a small hurt on her head, a bullet touched your leg and some small cuts," he said.

"How did I get them?" I looked at him, I wondered how did I land up here in the first place.

RJ took a deep breath and looked at me, "Don't you remember?" He asked.

I looked at him blankly.

"You got those wounds at the concert," the moment the words left out of his mouth all the memories of that night came flashing in front of my eyes.

The hugs with the boys and Perrie, The kiss with RJ , the concert, my performance, dynamites, the blast, the encounter with Simon, his confessions, him blasting the whole stadium. All the memories came in front of my eyes like some film with a sharp pain in my head. I could once again hear his words:
I killed your parents.
The chief knew about this.
I held my head in between my hands and closed my eyes tight to stop all those memories but failed, it just went on going stronger and louder.

Suddenly I was bought out of my thoughts when I was engulfed in a hug. A warm, protective hug.

I could hear RJ's faint voice, "Emily, it's fine. It's going to be alright," I could hear him say.

I was holding him tight and started to cry in his arms. The amount of hurt and pain I was going through came down in tears.

All these years I believed my mom and dad along with Zayn's parents died in an accident but no, they were killed by their own friend, the one whom we called uncle, he killed them. And the ones whom I trusted, the Chief knew about this, instead of telling me or putting Simon behind the bars he let him go and hid this from me. It was piercing my heart, killing me inside.

RJ rubbed my back for sometime and said, "We won't let him go. We will find him and put him behind the bars, the place he deserves to be," he said with determination.

I looked up at him with red puffy and teary eyes.

My now pale blue eyes staring into his dark brown eyes.

He smiled to me, "I promise. You are not alone in this, I'm here for you," he said

This bought a small smile on my face. But deep down now there was a fear of trusting anyone, anymore. The ones I trusted, betrayed me. The pain was unbearable.

RJ slowly laid me down on the bed.
"You need to sleep," he said.

"No. I'm tired of sleeping. How long have I been here?" I asked him.
