♪Earlier that day♪
(A/N Before you get really confused. This happens before El gets home with Harmony.)
Harry’s POV
Things were black. I couldn’t see or hear anything. Then, the setting changed unexpectedly. I was on a sort of a cloud, floating. I feel like this is déjà vu, like I’ve been here before, but I couldn’t have been standing on a cloud before. I tried to speak, but words were not permitted to come from my mouth. I couldn’t move even; I was trapped in a way. Then, I saw myself, and I was talking to two people.

I couldn’t make out their conversation at first, but one sentence was clear to me. The lady spoke to me.

“And remember this: It’s not what’s up here,” she pointed to my head, “it’s what’s in here that counts,” she gestured to my heart. I took in her words, but they confused me. Has this happened before? Who are these people? These people certainly aren’t my parents. My mum and ‘step’ dad are very well alive. They aren’t any of the guys’ parents either.

I shot my head up. My head was pounding hard inside of my skull. I rubbed my forehead and observed my surroundings. A guy, whom I have never met before, stands staring down at me. I rub my eyes to make sure I’m not dreaming still. I’m not; this creep is still looking at me intensely, boring holes into me.

His face loosens up a little, and soon he has a wide smile upon his face. He holds his hand out to me. I gladly take it, and he helps me off the ground of… not my home.

“You took quite a fall there, Harry. You okay?” he asked.

“Um… I’m fine. Who are you?”

“Uh… It’s Jarrett? I thought we did introductions yesterday,” he says utterly confused by me.

“I honestly have no idea what is going on, so can you direct me to either Louis, Liam, Niall, or Zayn?” I ask.

He leaves me there, standing alone in this unknown house. I just stand there for a few minutes before the guys come into this… living room?

“Hey Haz! What’s up?”

“Can someone tell me where the hell I am and who that person was?” I asked angrily.

“Um… What do you mean? That was Jarrett, friend of Drew?”

“Who’s Drew? I don’t know a Drew.”

Just then that Jarrett kid came running into the room. He panted as he spoke, “I forgot to tell you, he… tripped, and he hit his head… on the wall. He blacked out for… a minute. I have to go now!” He ran back out the same way he came.

Louis’ POV
Shoot! He bumped his head. He doesn’t know who Drew is. It all makes sense.

“Band discussion except Harry!” I called. Liam, Niall, Zayn, and I huddled together. “Are you all thinking what I’m thinking?”

“Harry got a concussion causing him to lose his memory again?” Zayn asked. “I think we’re all on the same page here.”

“So, what are we going to do about it?” Niall asked.

“Well, he seems to remember us, so we should ask him some questions to see just how much he knows?” Liam suggests.

“Let’s not bring up Drew, or Harmony… Just in case,” I say. They nod in agreement and break from the huddle. “Why don’t you take a seat Harry? We have a few questions for you.”

We all take seats on the couches and stare intently at Harry. He starts to squirm under our stares.

Harry’s POV
“Guys, you’re creeping me out here…” I said.

“Do you know who we are?” Niall asks ignoring my words.

“Niall? Why wouldn’t I know you guys? You’re all like brothers to me. I could never forget you. Even my mum treats you like family.”

“You remember your mum?” Liam asks, shocked at my answer.

“Well, duh. She raised me since birth! You all have met her and Robin and Gemma too,” I say. They continue to just stare at me with serious looks on their faces. None of them speak for a while, so I take this opportunity to ask my question again. “Where are we?”

“Oh, right. We are at that beach house in Pismo, remember?” Liam says.

“You mean the one we planned on going to for a break from work?”

“That one.”

“But, I thought we still had another week before we came. Do you think I might have forgotten about this past week?”

All of the guys stared at me like I was crazy, yet like I was absolutely right at the same time. Something is up, and I want to know.

“Harry, here’s the thing… You actually can’t remember like the past… two years? Yeah, two years.”

“How would you know? I just banged my head this morning. I thought we were just a week away from coming here.”

“Well, no. That was two years ago. We’re back here for…” Liam looked at the others unsure of what to say.

“A friend’s wedding,” Louis adds in.

“Okay then… I must be dreaming, so I’m going to go outside. You guys can either admit to lying or stay here and continue with your little prank you’re trying to pull,” I said.

Once I stepped outside, I was immediately hit with a shock of cold wind. Wow, they must have planned this according to the weather because it sure doesn’t feel like summer vacation.

I heard footsteps running towards me from behind, but I didn’t stop. If it is one of the boys, I don’t want to talk unless they are admitting to trickery. Zayn and Niall soon join me on my walk.

“Harry, we’re not pulling your leg here. If you would let us explain, you could understand,” Zayn reasoned with me.

“Why should I?”

“Because Jarrett is a friend of Drew who is the brother to your girlfriend who had a baby with you that died a month after birth who caused her to be more unsocial so you tried to comfort her but got in a car crash with Louis where you lost your memory of everything but now you can remember up to two years ago but you met her here the day this place got double booked and she isn’t here right now but she is trying really hard to make everything work between you guys even though you have no memory of your relationship whatsoever. Would you like the details?” Zayn ranted in a few long breaths.

I thought about it for a minute. I didn’t really understand what all of his explanation really means, so I figured details would be good. He couldn’t have made up that big of a story.

“Yes,” I said. So we spent the rest of our morning on the boardwalk talking about everything I’ve missed… again apparently.
