Bright.

It's he first thing Zayn notices when he opens his eyes after what feels like days. The room is too bright for his liking. So bright that it's making his head hurt.

He blinks his eyes several time so that his eyes can adjust to the blinding light and when it finally does, it registers to his head that he's not in his own room. He blinks again and looks around to take in his surroundings. A frown appears on his forehead when he registers that it's indeed, a hospital room.

"Oh my God, you're finally awake. I am gonna get the doctor." He hears an unfamiliar voice calling from a far.

He turns to the hospital door to see who that person is but before he can see his face, that person is out of the room. He sighs and closes his eyes again. At least he doesn't have to call the doctor's by himself now.

Just as he feels himself drifting off to sleep, he's awoken by some footsteps. He looks at the door to see a man with feathery brown hair and blue eyes walking towards him along with what seems like a doctor. The man had tears of joy in his eyes, making Zayn frown in confusion. The man is acting like a family member when he doesn't even know who this man is.

Who is he?

"God Zayn!" Zayn's frown deepens when the man comes, sits on his bed and hugs him tight. "You scared us buddy. Never do that again." He's crying now and Zayn wants nothing but to know who the hell this man is.

"Um, excuse me but do I know you?" Zayn asks somewhat in confusion.

The man detaches himself from Zayn and looks into his eyes, making the hazel eyes man somewhat uncomfortable.

"Zayn? Bud, it's me! Louis!" The man-Louis tells him. Zayn frowns and tries to remember someone named Louis with that face but nope. He can't remember anyone with that name or face.

"Um? I don't know you?" Zayn tells him but it comes out more like a question.

"You-you are kidding me right? I swear to God Zayn, if this is one of your pranks, I am never gonna forgive you." The man-Louis warns him, but Zayn could still hear the trembling in his voice. But why would his voice tremble? And how the hell this man knows his name? And why in the hell the doctors are allowing a stranger in his room?

"I am not playing any pranks on you. Why would I? When I don't even know you?" Zayn asks him truthfully. Louis is about to say something when a hand from the doctor on his shoulder stops him.

"Mr. Tomlinson, I think I might now what is happening to Zayn." The doctor assures in a low voice and it again confuses Zayn how pitiful it sounds.

"Mr. Zayn." The doctor looks at him. "I am your doctor Mr. Smith. I am gonna ask you some questions. Do you think you can answer them?"

Zayn nods.

"Great. Do you need anything before we start questioning you?" Mr. Smith asks gently.

"Water, please."

"Sure."

"So Zayn, what's your full name." The doctor asks after Zayn has gulped down a full glass of water. He didn't realize he was this thirsty before he saw the glass.

"Zayn Javadd Malik."

"What's your mother's name?"

"Trisha Malik."

"Your father's name?"

"Yaser Malik."

"How many sisters do you have?"

"Three."

"Where are you from?"

"Here. From Bradford, England."

"Do you remember him?" The doctor points at Louis. Zayn looks at him before shaking his head.

"No, I don't."

"Do you remember any of your friends?"

"Yeah, I have a best friend. His name is Harry. Harry styles." Zayn smiles and ignores the way Louis' breath hitches after mentioning Harry's name.

He also ignores the way Louis mumbles 'I gotta call Harry and tell him everything.' He doesn't understand how could Louis possibly know Harry when they never met him before. Speaking of him, where is Harry? Isn't he supposed to be by Zayn's side like a best friend should be?

"Do you know how you ended up here?" Doctor Smith's voice brings him back to reality.

"No." Zayn shakes his head because he is confused himself as how did he end up in a hospital.

"Okay, now last question. What's your age?"

"Eighteen."

And that's when he hears a gasp from his side. He looks at his side to see Louis' eyes becoming teary, making him frown.

Why is he crying?

"You-you don't remember me? Do you?" Louis asks him shakily and when Zayn answers him with a shake of head, he can't help the tears falling. Zayn is about to ask him what's the matter when the doctor's voice startles him.

"Zayn." The doctor says softly. "You are not eighteen years. You are Twenty-Six years old and the lad here, Louis is one of your best mates."

And that's when everything goes black.
