Zayn's POV:

The image of her getting hit replayed over in my mind.

Her walking, the car speeding, her noticing, her getting smashed, the yells everywhere. It wouldn't leave me alone. Honestly, I barely saw what she looked like, and I didn't know her name.

Right now, I was waiting for the doctor with Niall and Harry. We were already told - along with what I'm guessing be the family, though the one girl looks very different - what had happened to her. He had said her name, but all I could hear was the memory.

"Ashlyn Backer can see three people now," the doctor told us, as he walked into the hallway.

Ashlyn. That's pretty.

Wow I sound like some school boy.

Next thing ya know I'll be wearing knee high socks and sandals.

I'm bringing that style back.

We all got up, but remembered only three, and there were six of us. I told Linda she can go since it is her daughter, and I said the same to Ashlyn's father. The other girl followed them, "Oh my God! I was so worried!"

I looked at the doctor, "Can we please see her? We need to see if she's okay."

He seemed unsure, but nodded anyway.

As us three walked in, Ashlyn's smile left her face immediately. She grabbed paper and a pen, writing something down. After showing it to the girl, she pointed to Niall, Harry, and myself.

"No, if you did remember them, then that would be strange," she said, chuckling.

As Niall and Harry introduced themselves, I took in her features. Suddenly she seemed very familiar. Wait...I know where I've seen her...

She's from my dream.

When it was my turn to tell who I am, I shook my head, and asked, "Can I hug you?" I smiled a shy smile.

Once she got consent from her parents, she wrote something down on paper and handed it to me.

'Yes,'

Smiling widely, I wrapped my arms as gently as I could around her. Once I was close enough to her ear, I whispered, "I'm Zayn." Shivers ran down her spine. I moved back and said lowly - so only she could hear me - to her:

"And I swear I saw you in my dream."

§ Three days later §

Ashlyn was coming home today.

The girl, who I learned was Roni and not her sister, said we could still visit Ashlyn. Obviously, I was grateful for that. I need to know more about her.

Roni, Ashlyn's mom and dad, and Niall all went to go get the house ready. Harry and I stayed back to help Ashlyn out of the hospital, then bring her to her house.

She was a bit shaken up, but when I put my hands around we weak arms to help her, she seemed better. Those weird, unknown sparks flickered on my hands from my skin on hers.

"Okay, lets get you in the car, yeah?" Harry asked, checking her out of the hospital before looking at Ashlyn. She nodded in response, so the three of us walked out the automatic doors to the car.

A few songs played, simple small talk, and Harry's millions of flirty comments later, we had parked outside Ashlyn's house. "It's nice," I said, turning to give her a smile as she blushed slightly. I wanted her to talk, but she didn't.

She couldn't.

I inwardly sighed, hopping out of the car to help Ashlyn, but Harry beat me to it. Smiling a fake smile, I got in front of them to open the door. But, Roni had already done that.

Okay, next person to take my job is gonna have to deal with my socks and sandals.

Yeah, I am still going strong with that.

"Ash! Oh my god! You're going to love the place!" Roni squealed, and I resisted the urge to place my hands over my aching ears.

Ashlyn got out the paper and pen.

I watched as she scribbled, 'Love the place? Whats different about it?' After giving it to Roni, Ashlyn stood with a patient face that, obvious to me, was trying hard not to contract with confusion. Roni giggled.

Giggled? Why would she giggle? What the--

"Why'd ya giggle?" an Irish accent sounded.

Oh my god, seriously? If someone takes away my job again I'm going to rip out their throats with my teeth.

I'm joking; that would be gross.

Everyone looked at me, and Ashlyn burst out into a laughing fit. Well, a silent one, since she can't really make any sounds. I still don't understand how hitting certain nerves can make you at loss of sound. Then I realized why she was laughing.

"Did I say that throat part out loud?" I asked, pretty sure I knew the answer.

Niall nodded, then laughing along with Ashlyn. Roni seemed to notice the loud laugh of Niall, and began giggling too, before Harry joined. I stood there, smiling at the idiots.

"Aye, we're not idiots!" Niall said, slapping me upside the head. I said that out loud? God I need to stop doing that.

Roni nodded, "Yeah you should, it's pretty weird what goes on in your mind."

For Christ's sake. I groaned loudly, running my hand over my face. Ashlyn had come down from her laughing fit, and just starred at me with a smile on her pretty face. I wish I knew what she was thinking. Everything doesn't feel right when I can't hear her, for some odd reason.

"How bout we get you inside?" Roni asked, walking inside with Niall. Harry soon followed.

Standing there, I looked at the last person standing in front of me. She seemed like she wanted to say something. But I think she knew she couldn't. I cleared my throat, looking at the ground, before locking my gaze with Ashlyn's.

Then I flashed her a warm smile, "Let's go in." She nodded, and I held my hand out for her to take. She gently clasped mine in hers, glancing at me and then starring intently where our hands met. Ashlyn looked up at me finally, and we began walking in, both smiling.

But I couldn't shake the sparks igniting at her touch.
