After almost driving an hour when they were out of the city the car stopped. During the whole journey, there was a deep silence while the music player in the car played sweet relaxing songs.
Sarah laid her head on the window and just looked outside at the crescent moon which glowed at its extreme. When the car stopped Sarah looked in front but she all she met was street lights and an empty road. She looked at Niall,
'Let's go.' He said as he unbuckled his seatbelt and went out.
Sarah says there thinking where are they going. After a few moments, she opened the door of her side and saw Niall standing already waiting for her.
'Let me help you.' He said calmly and gave his hand to her.
She came out and a shiver went running through her whole body, obviously, winter has come. Even the forecast channels had declared that the first snowfall will occur within the next two weeks. She covered her arms with her hands and rubbed them as to keep herself warm but suddenly she felt a warm cloth covering her neck and back. She turned around and found Niall holding a black scarf
The scarf was beautiful, it was black in color and looked quite expensive. It had beautiful scenery of a boy kneeled before a girl and asking for her hand all in silver. It also had some silver dots all over, which represented snow. Niall covered the shivering Sarah in the scarf and she turned ahead to look at it. It looked beautiful on Sarah. Her skin matched perfectly with the scarf and it not only enhanced her beauty but it also made Sarah glow in that dark night under the street lights just like the crescent moon.
While Sarah admired the beauty of the scarf Niall looked at her with a lot of admiration. After all, he missed her for two years. Though he knew that she was around but still he had to be apart from her all these years so that it doesn't turn fatal for her. But now that he has her by his side what he wants all was, her to remember every single moment she spent with him. He just needed to spend all her life with Sarah now, happily and peacefully.
Niall murmured within himself,
'I hope it makes you remember something...I ca-can't lose you against him.'...

Earlier that day in the evening...
'Now will you please tell me what happened that day? With whom did you fight?' Emma asked being worried.
Earlier also Jeremy had many fights with many people but that day when he came it felt he had a blood bath. She wanted to ask since that day when this took place, the day when Sarah was at the hospital, unconscious. But she never got the chance to ask.
'None of your business.' Jeremy said coldly and turned to leave Emma's cabin.
'Yes. It. Is!!' Emma yelled and Jeremy stopped.
'Why can't we be siblings like others. Why we can't share our problems and feelings with each other. Why is it so hard for us?' Emma said in a low voice which at the end almost became a whisper.
Tear filled her eyes while Jeremy stood showing his back to her being cold-hearted.
'Why am I afraid of you? Why can't I feel protected when you're around instead of feeling more afraid. Why?'
She said and kept her hand on the desk behind her. A tear rolled down her eye.
'Why can't you care for me the same way I care for you?' She closed her eyes and finally tears embraced her cheeks completely.
At this thought of Emma Jeremy got furious and turned around.
'I still love Sarah!!' He yelled.
Emma opened her eyes looked at Jeremy with furrowed brows. And she got more worried cause behind him was standing Niall who had just entered the cabin as his hand was still on the doorknob.
'I love her but seeing her with Niall who doesn't even deserve her makes me kill myself or him. Seeing her beside him when she should be with me makes me tear myself apart. Anything else you want to hear?!' Jeremy yelled all in one breath.
Before Emma could do anything Niall walked in simply and stood in front of Jeremy. Seeing Niall standing in front of him Jeremy raised his one eyebrow. He put his hands in the pockets of his trousers and stared back at Niall. While Niall looked at him with blank expressions.
'Niall-' Emma was interrupted with Niall's hand which signaled her to stop, still looking at Jeremy. He then folded all his fingers except the index one pointed it towards Jeremy,
'I'll show you how much I deserve her.' Niall said in a blank voice, further stabbing his index finger on Jeremy's chest and went out of the cabin leaving a small box on Emma's desk.
After Niall left Jeremy looked down, shook his head, and scoffed.
'You won't be able to, unless you believe that one woman blindly.' He whispered and went out of the cabin without saying anything.
After they both left Emma exhaled deeply, she doesn't even know herself since when she was holding her breath. She picked up the box and opened it. There was a small beautiful hairpin in it. Emma immediately understood why he came to give this to her. It was because he had forgotten to gift her something on her birthday so....this was a compensation. Emma smiled warmly seeing the sparkling hairpin but then soon her eyes got filled with tears as she remembered how back then they all were so happy. Just one accident and it changed everyone's life and behavior towards each other.
Here Niall had now decided to take Sarah to each and every place where they used to go as a couple. He was now determined to make Sarah remember everything and make her fall for him again, no matter what it might take...

Present...
'By the way....where did you get this?' She asked and turned again towards Niall.
Niall came back to his senses,
'Umm....you don't need to know.' He said coldly.
Sarah shrugged her shoulders and started walking.
But then she stopped, turned around, and said again,
'I'll return it to you tomorrow.'
'No need, it's yours.' He said and walked towards her.
'Mine?!' She asked while her eyes got widened up again.
Niall just nodded and walked at a fast pace while Sarah ran to match his speed.
'But...it's quite expensive...' Sarah said while panting.
'Like you haven't seen expensive stuff in your life ever.' Niall said without looking at her and kept walking.
'I- umm...I-I mean why for me? You could've gifted it to your fiancé Carla.' Sarah said and suddenly Niall stopped. He looked at Sarah with those red eyes. Though earlier it didn't scare Sarah now, they were.
'She. Is. Not. My. Fiancee!!' He said as he clenched his jaw and emphasized the word fiancé.
His red eyes made him look scary and suddenly Sarah just whispered.
'Sorry.' Niall soon realized that he just scared Sarah so he started to walk again.
Sarah walked beside him silently. She had many questions to ask like, why were his eyes so red, why did he hate Carla so much or where were they going? Such questions popped up in her mind now and then and still, she walked silently until Niall stooped in front of a small building,
'It's been a long time.' He said and smiled...
