I gripped the picture so tight I thought it would rip, but then again maybe thats what I wanted. I had this image of my mom, cold, scary, crazy and most of all absent. I think that the fact that she hasnt been here all these years is was hurts the most, more than her trying to kill me. Perhaps thats why the picture hurt so much..It showed us, together. It made me resentful and I wanted nothing more than too toss it from the 20th floor of this building, to never see it again, to never have to look the times when we were happy, to never look at what we could have had. Louis put his hand on my back but didnt take his eyes off the picture. I flipped it over and on the back it read, Marina (2 years) and I on the beach -Marsha, in my mom's handwriting. "it must have been my mom's suitcase" i said calmly, trying not to show how mad I was at the stupid inanimate object. "im so sorry marina, I had no idea" louis said soothingly. "its alright louis, its no big deal." i lied and put the picture in the side table next to the bed. We turned off the lights and I expected louis to hug me or snuggle but he just stayed on the opposite side of the bed, in fact the very edge of it and didnt move at all, well im not to up for cuddling either, i decided and drifted into the worst nightmare of my life.

I was on the beach in front of my house, it was a beautiful day, all sun and the ocean looked an unnatural green. To one side, there was an arbor wrapped in different flowers and a long white runway that led from it, obviously for a wedding. Suddenly a crowd of people came from my house and onto the beach, they took their seats on the wood chairs that faced the arbor. A man walked forth looking very official and I assumed he was the groom until he stood facing the crowd. Next came a another man, young and handsome but i couldnt see his face because he kept it down, looking at the ring he held. He took his place next to the arbor and looked down the aisle with his face turned as a young women came down the aisle in a beautiful white dress that flowed to great lengths, her hair wore in long waves down her back. As she got closer, I could see a women with her, escorting her. The women was older and I guessed it was the brides mother, until i realised it was my mother! And I was the bride. I immediately looked to the groom again to see who he was, but he kept his face turned on the bride..well me and his facial features became blurred. Even though the beautiful young women was meant to be me, I couldnt feel it..we seemed so different. My mom took a seat as I got to the arbor and I faced my husband to be. Suddenly a voice came from somewhere, it was ominous, scary..and oddly familiar. "you could've had this, this could have been you" it said and suddenly the scene changed. It was me again, older  this time, walking on same the beach, alone and quite somber looking. I noticed no ring... I studied the women and instantly knew that this was me. I could feel all her emotions, bottled up in an attempt to forget. A voice came back but this time it was someone different, "I cant..I..cant do this anymore!" the voice yelled. It was a young voice this time, full of life..and innocence and..it was niall?

I woke from my nightmare with a jump. Louis wasnt in bed anymore and I saw a light on the in the living room. I crawled out of bed trying to remain silent and opened the door a crack. There, in the living room was Niall waving his hands all over the place, harry with his head in his hands, louis fidgeting uncomfortably, liam looking like he had a massive headache and zayn staring intensely at something. I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and noticed he was holding the photograph. ughhh! I should have lied better to louis! Of course he could see that I was upset! But I didnt want the boys dragged into my resentment and anger. I pressed an ear to the door and remained very still as I tried to listen. "we know that this is marina's mom, marina told me when she found it" louis said. "and we know this is the women that warned us about the threat to our lives" zayn said pointing at the picture of my mom. "so we can safefully deduce that marina's mom probably lied about the threat to get us in the same house as her" liam said rubbing his temples. "but why?" harry said. "I have no freaking idea!" niall concluded. "I knew it wasnt just a coincidence that we both ended up in the same place with similar problems!" liam said, exasperated. "Well atleast we know that someone within management wasnt actually trying to kill us! thats a relief" harry offered, "yeah but they will when they found out one of us is dating her!..when she chooses that is.." zayn said throwing up his hands. "oh my god, the paparazzi are going to have Field day with that! I can see the headline now..'one direction dating opening act'" louis huffed. "can we get back to the important stuff..like why marina's mom wanted us all together or ultimately who is trying to kill her!" niall said agitated.  "well what if marina's mom wanted us to some how draw her daughter out?" zayn asked and they gave him a puzzled look. I couldnt stand here and watch any longer as they attempted to complete a puzzle without all the pieces. I pushed open the door and they cursed under their breath when they saw me, I had caught them red-handed."uhh marina..I'll be in an minute babe" louis said blocking me. I shoved him aside, "save it lou" i spat. "ok listen, if are going to figure out whats going on, we need to work together not keep me in the dark!" i said sternly. They nodded, "we're sorry, we just didnt want you getting hurt anymore..." niall said. "I saw how you looked at that photo when you found it, you couldnt hide the hurt, marina" louis said softly and I blushed. I guess there was no way I couldnt let them know about my anger and resentment now, could i? "its ok..and thank you" i said because I knew they meant well.. I took a seat on the couch next to liam and tried not to make eye contact with zayn, who sat across from me. "ok now," I began, " my mom warned you about some death threat?" i questioned. "well, a couple weeks ago, a women approached us after a concert and said that someone within our own team was trying to kill us and that we needed to get extra security, maybe even take a break from tour." harry said. "we didnt think much of it but then our management started acting really weird an-" "correction weirder than usual" louis interrupted. "right, as I was saying, they were acting weirder and so we decided to look into it and when we saw the women again she gave us a card with you dad's number. she insisted he had the best security and a nice home to stay in for awhile. so we decided to check it out and your dad agreed, for a hefty sum of course" harry finished. "So thats how you guys came to be living at my house?" i asked blankly and they nodded. "somewhere down the line, we suspected that the women may have been your mom, seeing as you look like her and all, but we werent sure until we saw this picture." liam said and suddenly a thought occurred to me. "umm..so do I really look like her?" i asked, embarrassed that they knew the answer and I didnt it, it had been nine years after all... "you do.." niall whispered looking at me dead on and i looked down at my feet.  "ok well, we have to think, what may have been her reason for sending us there?" harry asked breaking the awkward silence. "well im gonna go ahead an say that maybe she figured we would get you away from your dad? because after all, who can resist a hot, foreign, boy band?" louis teased. "good point, after all my dad did have pretty good tabs on me" i huffed, "and she probably couldnt kill me with all that security." i said casually as they looked on with bewilderment. "so..your mom basically tricked a hot group of guys to draw you out from under your dad..so she could kill you?" liam questioned. "sounds about right!" i said, atleast we had some answers, after all wasnt that what I wanted all along? "so we have one part figured out..can we go back to bed now?" louis whined and tugged at my shorts. "I think thats as far as we are going to get tonight, so yes louis, night boys..and thank you..for finally telling me" I said and grabbed louis's hand as we went back to bed.
