Louis Tomlinson
I woke up with a start at exactly 4:30 A.M. I yawned and stretched weeding out the tiredness from my aching body. Boy did I fall asleep in the wrong position; I felt like Lex Luthor got the best of me. It took me a moment before I realized I was holding my phone in my left hand, which I apparently fell asleep with at my ear. I looked at it as I heard the soft snores of my darling fiancé coming from it. So typical- we both fell asleep while chatting it up real dirty; we loved playing by ear the few times we were ever apart. The iPhone was burning hot and the battery about to die; 6:45:23, that's how long it was Amber and I have been talking and phone - sleeping. I glanced over at Harry's sleeping frame beside me as I hopped off the bed to fetch my charger from my sack.
I simultaneously looked at Zayn and Liam in their unconscious state too. But then it hit me. . . . . I counted us three times; Harry slept next to me, Zayn and Liam over there, then where the devil is the blond one? I thought. I quickly abandoned my charger task and looked in the bathroom and the hallway for the Irishman, but he was nowhere in sight. Typical! So typical, I yelled in my head, he always does this! Wait that's not true, I backtracked inwardly with an outward laugh, Zayn always does, this was new.
"Harry," I whispered in Harry's ear.
"Five more minutes Michelle," He groaned, with eyes still shut, waving me to leave him alone.
"Harry-"
"Just give me five minutes mommy, I won't be late for school I promise." He rolled over with a snore.
I flared my nostrils at this, then I moved over to Zayn and Liam's bed leaving Harry be.
"Zayn," I whispered to Zayn who was sleeping rather peacefully pouting in his sleep with a blue head tie on his head, seemingly protecting the style of his hair.
"What?" He asked eyes still shut.
"Where's Niall? Have you seen him?"
"A. I'm not his keeper, and B. No!"
I narrowed my eyes at Zayn, my was he a right feisty one.
"Zayn!"
"What now?" He said his eyes popping open.
"I can't find Niall anywhere!"
"What do you mean you can't find him?" Zayn asked getting up from the bed revealing his tattooed torso and arms.
"I just- I checked everywhere mate, and I can't find him."
Zayn walked to the other side of the bed.
"Liam," Zayn said as he pulled the bed clothes from Liam's face.
"What? " Liam asked sounding extremely annoyed.
"Have you seen Niall? "
"No, I haven't seen shit since twelve this morning." he pulled the covers over his head. "Please let me sleep."
" What's his problem?" Zayn asked me and I responded with a shrug.
I quickly looked under both beds and then at Harry who was now smiling with hands clasped by his cheek.
"Oh Michelle, stop it, I'm not that handsome. " Harry said rolling over giving us the view of his back.
Zayn and I looked at each other and chuckled.
"I can see he still hasn't passed that the wet dream stage yet." Zayn giggled.
"Seriously," I began after I put my phone onto my charger shaking my head at Zayn. "Wet dream?"
"Hey, shouldn't we be getting ready to meet the kid right now I mean it's almost five." Zayn changed the subject.
"I suppose," I replied with a frown. "I guess I should wake Liam and Harry up then."
I stood between both boys and I yelled:
"GET THE BLOODY HELL UP, YEAH, WE GONNA BE LATE!"
Harry fell off the bed and onto the floor with one roll, Liam jumped to his feet like a cadet and Zayn stood impressed with folded arms.
"Yes, Simon, I'm up where's the X Factor?" Harry said half asleep getting to his feet.
"Why the devil were you yelling for?" asked Liam now fully awake.
"Because," I began frankly in my usual fatherly tone, "otherwise you all would sleep till noon!"
Just then the doorbell rang and we all froze and looked at each other.
"I'll get it," I announced breaking the silence.
I opened the door and there stood Niall before me. He looked like he had been sleeping elsewhere, his eyes were red like he just woke up and his clothes were looking rather ragged. He didn't look at me in the eyes, they darted impatiently all over the place and he simply shook his body and waited for me to move.
"Where the hell were you?"
"Out." He answered seriously pushing past me into the room.
"What do you mean out?" I asked slightly taken aback, closing the door and turning to face him.
"Out Louy." he said irritated taking off his hoodie that looked like it had snot on it.
The other three boys watched us carefully in silence.
"Um," I said with narrowed eyes and folded arms, "where exactly is out?"
"I'm a grown man Louy," he replied simply as he gathered his stuff to take a shower.
"I never said you weren't." I was rather uncomfortable by his sudden cold shoulder for no apparent reason.
"Well -" he said spinning around in search of something.
"Were you with a girl or something?"
"Yes I was with a girl, if you must know!" He answered partially angrily finally giving me a good look.
"Chill out alright," Zayn finally stepped in, raising his hand to Niall. "Lou's just concerned is all."
"Concerned? Don't make me laugh!" Niall smirked wickedly.
He looked pale white I noticed, and for some strange reason I felt scared of him; because I knew his anger was directed at me. I had never seen him like this before, in all the time I've known him.
"If you all must know I met a girl outside a strip club last night and then I brought her here to make time with her, but guess what? Before I could fuck her I found out she's just a kid!"
Harry gasped in disbelief, and Liam parted his lips to speak but was obviously petrified by Niall's tale of the night's events.
"A scarlet girl?" Zayn asked in disbelief barely able to sum up his words. "Niall what were you doing with a sort of woman like that?"
"I just said she was a kid. I guess along with being the 'rock' of the band, I should add pedophilia to the list too. Maybe that will earn me some respect around here-"
"I was just worried sick about you," I interjected carefully weighing out my words.
"I woke up and I didn't see you. It doesn't matter who you were with just calm down, and we do respect you-"
"You don't care about me!" He said near to tears, "none of you do."
Harry looked shocked and confused at this, looking at me with arched eyebrows for answers.
"Niall what are you talking about?" asked Liam finally.
"I tried talking to you guys last night and all you cared about were your women, you didn't even fucking notice my absence until now!"
We all looked at him completely speechless as the tears streamed down his pale white cheeks. I didn't know what to do but take him in an embrace. I looked at Harry whose hand had involuntarily traveled to his open mouth in shock. Zayn stood eyebrows raised with folded arms. Liam looked at me as if trying to ask what's happening via band mate telepathy. Niall sobbed and used my shirt to wipe his eyes I had never ever seen him like this since the X Factor.
"Listen bud," I said gently, "we're here for you, whatever it is you're going through we're here. Zayn's here even though he's moody." Zayn's face dropped as though he were saying 'hey'. "And Liam even though he has a son now. Plus Harry is always available to talk to. Yes, I know I am going to be married soon and I love Amber to death but at the end of the day," I looked up at the other boys ,"don't tell Amber I said this," I looked back at Niall, " you guys are my day uno and no woman can replace you guys Bros before- well you know how the rest goes no offense to the love of my life."
Niall laughed and the other boys nodded in agreement.
"That's right," said Liam coming over to us,"I told you already we're here for you."
"So," I said in my usual fatherly tone looking at Niall, "I don't want to hear anymore wishy-washy nonsense about us not caring about you, is that clear? We love you. So no more lip!"
"Awe," said Harry and Zayn in unison, "group hug lads!"
After that little incident that morning I felt ten shades lighter as we all got ready to go meet our fan. Niall went back to his usual self, prancing around making a fuss of being very presentable to meet this boy. We felt it would be best not to ask about his scarlet girl because the topic was way too sensitive to be discussed in the wake of the latter incident. We knew Niall was no casanova, but also no romeo either, still it was just quite unnerving hearing him talk the way he did about whomever his mystery call girl was. I wondered inwardly why he was with a child to begin with, and just how far did he get with her before his retreat. I didn't find it the least bit grotesque either, if anything I found it quite disturbing.
"Okay lads," I said at six o'clock, "Steve said the car's downstairs we really need to get a move on or we'll go off schedule."
All four boys looked really smart: Niall in a short jeans trousers with a white T-shirt, Harry in his usual white t-shirt and jeans with his head-cloth, Zayn in a mucus green shirt and Liam in a white T-shirt and blue jeans and I the same, with my favorite winter hat.
"Wait," said Zayn as we all were about to exit the suite, " I forgot my phone".
"Hey," said Liam," I think I need to take a wee too, yeah."
"Guys," Harry complained," Niall's car is downstairs we need to be getting a move on yeah!"
Both boys stumbled back into the suite leaving us in the hall.
"They'll meet us downstairs," I said, "let's go."
Autographs, autographs, autographs. I swear it was sincerely a scratched record as we exited the hotel. As little as the number of people were, owing to the fact that it was just the hotel staff, it was still a lot when you're in a hurry. Steve brought Niall's black car around which we had sent down here two days before. We got into the car and I immediately put my seatbelt on since I would be driving, Harry sat next to me and Niall sat at the back in the middle row.
"This is some nice wheels you picked up my friend." said Harry to Niall as he eyed the well designed interior of the car.
"Thanks," he replied with a smile. "Amber actually was the one who picked it out. "
"Really? " I asked impressed while turning the steering wheel of the car slightly after I adjusted the mirror.
"If Amber picked this out," said Harry caressing the leather, " I know who I'm taking car shopping with me next time. Bloody hell, home girl's got style yeah."
"Hey where the devil is Zayn and Liam?" I asked irritated as I turned the air conditioning on.
"I'm gonna give them a ring." Niall announced.
I saw him in the mirror shuffle around in his seat confused, as though he lost something.
"Is everything alright Niall? " I asked.
"Yeah it's- it's just my phone, I can't seem to find it."
"Well did you use it this morning?" I asked.
"Not that I can remember, no, come to think of it."
"Alright, maybe you left it in the suite," said Harry, "give it a ring with my phone and see if Zayn or Liam will hear it and answer, here." He handed Niall his phone.
"Yeah," I added, " And I'll just call Zayn and let him know to keep an eye out for it, that's if they haven't already left the suite."
I called both Zayn and Liam once each, but none of them answered my call. I sat back leaving it be as Niall called his cell phone.
"Hello, " I heard him say.
"Someone picked up?" I asked.
"Yes," he replied.
"Who?"
" Andy?" I heard him say to the person on the other end of the phone ignoring my question. "Yeah I left my phone. Can you just hold on to it until I get back? - thank you- I'll see you then- you too- same time- alright."
"Who was that?" Harry asked as he took back his phone.
"Oh yeah," he laughed shyly with a school girl blush, " that was Andy the girl from last night-"
"Wait so your call girl has a name?" Harry asked rather intrigued. "I thought you said she was a kid- and you also spoke like it was a mistake and you'd never see her again or something- Niall what are you doing?"
"Yeah and a sort of prostitute," I said taken aback by the sudden change in the picture painted for this girl. "Wait a minute how old is she exactly-?"
"Look guys, " Niall began, "how I told you guys about her came out wrong alright, because I was upset. I gave the wrong impression about her. She isn't a prostitute. She's a strip. . . I mean- dancer. Alright, what happened why she was there wasn't her fault, she's fifteen-"
"FIFTEEN!" Harry scream - coughed in disbelief, choking on his water. "I was leaning towards at least seventeen!"
"Niall please tell me you had the good sense not to even so much as touch a bum hair on this kid!" I said my heart rate speeding up. "Do you know the lies she could fabricate? She could ruin you! Or worst - all of us. Are you barking mad? What were you thinking picking up a kid? And now she has your fucking phone on top of it- "
"Louy," he replied calmly. "Trust me I know all of the above. But you don't know her like I do she wouldn't do anything to hurt me-"
"Are you stupid? Hmm, are you fucking stupid?"
"No I'm not stupid! Alright, yes, it's dumb! She's fifteen I just met her and in your eyes or a lot of other people's eyes it's immensely stupid that I feel-"
"Oh God," Harry interjected as he ran one hand over his face and the other through his hair. "Don't tell me that you actually are . . . . I don't even want it to drop out of my bloody mouth."
"Niall," I said unbuckling my seatbelt so I could turn to face him. He wore an embarrassed heartbroken look. "Don't tell me you really think something is actually going to happen between you and this 'child'. Please tell me you're not that delusional!"
"You don't know her Louy! She needs me! And I know she's a kid now- but I can wait for her- I mean, I can wait three years for her if it means-"
"And 'you' know her?!" I spat really pissed. "You just fucking met her! Last night! Really? And I'm supposed to assume you're going to remain celibate for her chastity for three whole years because you're that noble and you're not a human being with needs! Horseshit I tell you!"
"I think I'm going to be sick. " said Harry genuinely looking that way, "Niall you can't be serious. Ludicrous this is. The entire band will be implicated if this ends badly! Do you hear me? Implicated! Misandry is how we will be treated even if this child forces in herself."
"I felt something last night when I was with her. Sex isn't everything. I care about her-"
"Wait, when you were with her?" I asked hitting the nail right on the head. "And what exactly did you two do might I ask? Please tell me you didn't touch her! Cause I'm still quite unclear on that fraction of this tall tale!"
"I didn't!" He spat. "I'm not that kinda guy!"
"Sure you aren't. And neither am I." I said to emphasize my sarcasm. "Not even first base?" I asked eyebrows raised. "No tongue action?"
"No! Not even!"
I watched as Niall sat back in his seat and Harry looked up to the heavens for support.
"Look," I said to Niall gently, "if this girl means that much to you. . . We'll work something out."
"Good because she's flying back to LA with us to live with her aunt. . ."
Harry's mouth fell open.
"And you were going to tell us this when?"
I don't know what came over me but I suddenly became understanding to him, and how ever he felt about this 'Andy'.I felt like this girl might just actually be something good for him perhaps?
"Alright-"
"Louy! " Harry said taken aback. " You can't be serious, you're going to encourage him to be with a little girl? When since are we people that allow our passion to overtake our morals? Are you trying for him to end up in the slammer or what?"
"Morals and passion? Says the guy who was steady screwing a thirty-two year old woman at age seventeen- " Niall said with no remorse.
An awkward silence fell over the car, and being the mature lad he is, Harry didn't respond he just exhaled calmly.
"Harry it's fine." I said as I sat back in my seat to call Zayn and Liam. "If this is what he wants we'll work something out."
"I just hope you know what you're doing man." Harry said calmly to Niall, shaking his head in his hand.
"I do." He replied finally.
And there I was contemplating all this nonsense.
Zayn Malik
I looked around the room for my phone for two minutes until I finally found it on the couch.
"Liam!" I called to him. " Let's go we're going to be late!"
"I'm just about to wipe and flush!" he yelled back from the bathroom.
"I really didn't need to know that!"
"Alright let's go!" Liam said exiting the bathroom as we both headed for the door.
"Wait!" Liam said just as I was about to close the door.
"What now?"
"I left my phone in the bathroom."
"Go fetch it quickly and let's bounce!"
In less than a minute Liam returned with his phone in hand and down the hall we went.
"Hey Liam, " I said as we got into the elevator, " you don't suppose Niall's behaviour this morning has anything to do with Amber do you?"
"Well if I'm honest, yes and no. I think he just wants to be in love you know? Not just loved by people like us. I got that conclusion after what he said about us caring about our women more than he. He's jealous that he doesn't have someone in his life as well."
I took a deep breath as we exited the elevator.
"And what do you suppose is the reason he was with a prostitute?"
"That- " Liam paused as we walked into the lobby. "I haven't a clue. He says she's a kid and I'm still uncomfortable about the fact. But it seems to me he was using her to get over Amber- "
"But Amber though, he fancied her for years now. He liked her before Louy did, we met her at that party back on the X Factor. Not to mention Louy was cheating on Elliot all along with Amber until he finally left her last year for Amber-"
"That's where you're wrong boyo, we all fancied her, we all thought Amber was fit." Liam said with a cheeky grin.
"Says the guy with a centerfold for a girlfriend. " I laughed. "But you know, both Louy and Niall really, really fancied her, Amber."
"Former centerfold," Liam corrected with a wink. "Right you are about Niall. He's mad for the fact that Amber was willing to be Louy's mistress just to be with him instead of giving Niall a chance."
"Yeah," I laughed. " I remember. Amber didn't even know how he feels, he never said anything. But Louy doesn't know he fancied her, does he? You know back then I mean?"
"Nope, I don't think so mate, I really don't."
We stepped outside the hotel,thankfully nobody had requested an autograph, not that I didn't want to sign them it's just sometimes it gets a little too much you know? There Niall's car was, parked before us.
"What are you waiting for?" Harry asked as he whined the window down. "Get in!"
Liam and I got into the back of the car and sat next to Niall who looked a tenth happier than he was earlier that morning. The GPS was now speaking as the silence filled the semi-dark car with only the vague sound of the engine and air conditioning.
"In a quarter of a mile turn right onto Boxwood Road. " The GPS said.
"Alright lads," said Louy. "Let's go."
In a few minutes we were out of the city and cruising down the the vast highway of Hartford which was queued with trees that looked much like forests. As the sun began to rise eliminating the twilight, I could see a stag and doe ushering their babies off the side of the busy road and into the woods. There were rivers and a few houses here and there on both sides aswell, hills and an endless stretch of green when there was a plateau, heading into some place called Danbury. My god, did each state in the United States seem like an entirely different country on its own.
"Why is everyone so quiet," Louy said pulling me from my gaze. Niall was falling asleep and Liam was on his phone playing a game.
"Because we just are," said Harry who was watching an interview with his seventeen year old self talking about a certain television personality he use to date back then, from what I could see on his large phone screen.
"Let's get on some music then, why don't we?" Louy said.
Instantly 'Born to be Wild' was on play.
"Louy. . . ." Harry groaned.
"What?" He retorted. "Sing along won't you?"
"I preferred the silence thank you!"
"Where's the fun in that for a road trip hmm?"
"Oh bloody hell here we go. . . ." Liam mumbled.
"Sing!" Louy urged us. "Like a true nature's child, we were born, born to be wild . . ."
"Could you please turn it off Louy?" Harry said annoyed.
"No!" He replied. "Sing!"
"Louy I don't want to-"
"I said sing!"
Harry jumped slightly in fright from Louy's suddenly aggressive command.
"Okay," said Harry reaching for the radio to turn off the music.
"Why'd you do that for? " Louy asked as he looked from Harry to the road.
"Since we're having a road trip according to you," Harry began, "I think it's time the guys and I had a talk with you Lou."
"A talk?" He asked confused as we stopped at a stop light. " With me?"
"Yes," Harry nodded.
"Okay, " Louy said with a laugh. "Talk away!"
Niall and I looked at each other and Liam looked at us.
"I think I speak for everyone when I say that I think you're a little too fatherly." Harry stated.
Louy looked like he was taken so far aback he might have been in the 1930s by the time Harry said "FATH".
"Fatherly?" He managed to repeat. " What on earth do you mean?"
Liam looked at me and Niall as if to say via band mate telepathy : "just be quiet and watch this unfold, yeah." And I as well as Niall understood.
"Yes, fatherly. You're always telling us what to do when Michelle's not around plus you just genuinely always boss us around all the time."
Louy gasped. "I do no such thing!"
"Yes you do, you always-"
"Be quiet Harry!" He said turning to speak to me through his mirror, "Zayn do I act fatherly? "
I parted my lips to speak with my heart rate speeding up for an unknown reason.
"Wait!" Louy spoke first while staring intently into the mirror to look at me. "Why aren't you wearing your goddamn seatbelt in this car!"
"Awe. . . " I said.
"Don't give me lip young man, just put it on right bloody now."
Was he for real? I thought. Talking to me like I was six years old! Heck, I could divide six into my age and have a few remainders left, proof I was an adult, yeah. This long forgotten unneeded proxy behavior was completely unorthodox. Louy was starting to feel like bad weed.
"And anyone else who is not wearing his seatbelt I want it on yeah!" He said as Niall's momentarily shut eyes snapped open.
"Louy ," Harry said straightening up. "This is exactly the reason I said what I did -"
"I don't get it, what am I doing?"
Harry flared his nostrils at Louy.
"Okay, " said Louy relenting. As we entered the small town of Waterbury. "I know I act a little fatherly sometimes but it's just because I care about you guys you know. I mean, I love you guys and I just want the best for you. I don't want you to make the same mistakes I did, plus I just - I thought I should step up you know? After all I am older than all of you."
"You got that right,"I couldn't help but say with a smile. "You are definitely the oldest."
"See I'm alright with that," said Liam, "Because you know what that means? That means you'll start shrivelling up three years before all of us do!"
We all burst out laughing at Louy whose face fell pass the floor of the car onto the road.
"Guys, guys," said Niall. "Look at his face he already started!"
We laughed even harder as we passed through the town center of downtown Waterbury and the very few locals out that early in the morning eyed Niall's car in 'awe'.
"Ha ha very funny guys. You shouldn't be laughing Zayn, don't forget, you're just a year younger than me."
"Yeah but you're still older, that's the whole point ."
We all laughed obnoxiously.
"Classic," said Harry looking at his phone. "Don't worry though Louy I'm sure you'll be fine, you got a hot wife to be, you're the envy of Hollywood men with her on your arm. Getting old won't be a bother trust me."
"Whatever," Louy said finally getting a dose of himself.
"Don't worry Lou, " I said, " you'll get us next time. You always do."
In a few minutes we were on Scott Road and nearing our destination.
"I wonder if we should have brought Aiden something you know?" Asked Harry.
"Well," Louy replied. "Since I thought us bringing 'us' would be good enough, and since apparently it's not - just give him that necklace that Taylor made you wear."
"Good thinking." Harry said.
"Why do you even still have it?"
I tuned out of the rest of their conversation.
The community was beautiful and peaceful, secretly I wished I could live there. It seemed like the sort of place that would smooth your edges once you settled in. The houses, the trees and the neighborly disposition was a breath of fresh air. It was safe to say it could be as close to Utopia as it gets- for me anyway.
"Your destination is on the right." I heard the GPS say as we drove up next to this place.
Holy cow, I couldn't believe my eyes.
"Wait a minute, " Louy said with wide eyes. "This is a bloody school!"
" That we can see," said Harry in ' awe'.
"Wadda you know, the fan lives at Crosby High school, home of the fucking bulldogs?" Liam spat sounding rather pissed.
"What is this madness? " Niall said with as he eyed the large brown school building surrounded by the endless stretch of completely deserted green field.
We were still on the side of the road and way far from the building. I just couldn't digest all this, it seemed so much like confirmation that we shouldn't be here.
"So," I said with folded arms in a very stern manner directly to Harry. "You didn't check out the location on Google earth?"
Both Niall and Liam mumbled in agreement.
"I'm going to call Aiden's mom," Harry announced ignoring me, "maybe I took down the address wrong."
"But how-" I tried to say but Harry got onto his phone conversing.
"Yes Mrs Sandano - oh I'm sorry to hear that - okay it's fine- I just saw your missed call- just text it to me- kids make mistakes all the time- it's fine really- oh okay, I'll see you then bye, bye."
"What did she say?" asked Louy as Harry hung up.
"Just a misunderstanding, " he said.
"Aiden gave me the wrong address because he's not that mentally rounded on top of everything else."
"Okay," Louy said as Niall went back to sleep and Liam back onto his phone .
Harry typed in the new address and I was relieved.
"In a quarter of a mile turn left onto East Main Street, " the GPS spoke.
We drove off and after a few minutes we started going uphill and ended up someplace that looked basically like the middle of nowhere. There were endless clusters of trees on both sides, a few run down houses here and there, and a river.
"Awe Louy. . ." Said Liam. " Is it just me or does this seem like the middle of nowhere?"
"What are you saying? " He replied. "I'm doing exactly as the GPS says, yeah."
"Okay. . .you know more than I. " Liam said sitting back in his seat.
As we drove up the narrow road the place began to get darker and the trees somehow drew closer to the road, and the run down houses became fewer until finally there were none for miles until we were completely surrounded by trees that grew towering with every passing minute. The silouette that the trees formed on the heavily tinted car windshield gave me the chills. And let me tell you, it took alot to get this sort of reaction out of me.
"Awe guys. . . " I tried to say with eyes locked looking out the window at my surroundings.
"The GPS stopped working!" said Louy before I could speak.
"What?" said Harry aghast. " What do you mean it's not working?!"
"Guys-" Liam put in and I quickly turned to look at him. "My phone lost signal."
"Mine too-" I said after looking at my phone and realizing it said 'out of range' for the service and 4G.
"Guys I think we should go back I'm scared." said Liam looking as such."And let me tell you I don't get scared very often."
"Niall," I said waking Niall from his sleep.
"That's it,"Harry put in he noticing he hadn't any signal either. "We're turning back."
"Okay," Louy declared as he made a U-turn. "I'm on it."
We drove for literally a minute down the lonely winding road, until we stopped suddenly.
"Louy why did you stop?" Harry urged.
"I didn't," he said wide eyed. "It stopped on its own."
"Wait, what?" asked Niall.
"Cars don't just stop by themselves Louy!" Liam spat.
"The gas," Harry said slowly after looking at the meter. "We're out of gas!"
"Bullshit!" Yelled Niall. "I put a full tank's gas in this bitch!"
"It says it's empty Niall!" Louy spat. "So what the bloody hell are we supposed to do now?" asked Louy.
"I don't know dad!" Liam said sarcastically. "You're the self appointed proxy, you figure it out!"
My stomach took a leap, I felt like I needed a loo asap for both ends. This was bad, this was insanity, what would we do I hadn't seen any houses for miles! Dear Allah help us.
"Look, fighting won't help anything." Said Niall to Liam as both he and Louy retreated.
"Phones guys?" Harry fretfully said.
"No signal -" said Louy.
"Same-" said Liam.
"Dido-" I put in.
"I'm going to step outside to have a look." Harry announced.
"Surely you don't want to go out there alone?" Liam said.
"Well then why don't one of you accompany me, because what are we going to do? Keep sitting here and do what?"
Liam looked at Niall, Niall looked at Louy and Louy looked at me. All three boys looking quite scared of the thought of leaving the comforts of the car.
"I'll go with you Harry."
I took the initiative and stepped outside the car in tow of Harry. The car was basically in the middle of the lonely road. There was nothing but an endless stretch of green. No light posts, no form of civilization as I knew it. I hadn't a clue what to do at that point.
"Zayn, what do you suppose we do now," Harry said with a shiver as the wind blew the semi-dark twilight looking area.
I could hear the sounds of birds and other animals hooting and such. I was passed creeped out.
"I suppose we start walking in the direction in which we came, that's the only thing left to do I'm afraid."
"Okay." Harry exhaled.
Harry turned away with arms hugging himself to go tell the other boys the plan. I stood rooted and look around me doing the same because of the chill. I looked up ahead in the north direction and there was someone heading towards us. The person looked like they were in a run and I froze speechless watching them head towards us.
