Chapter 11
27 June 2014 - 10:12
12 Seasons Mall, New Orleans
After the boys had got to their stylists and hot changed and got all fancied up, they had 15 minutes to reach the mall. They reached at 10 exactly.
There were hundreds of fans waiting outside. Thank god they had their personal body guards along with security guards that worked at the mall.
There were so much fans it took longer to find a parking spot than it did for them to get from the stylists to the mall.
They hadn't even gotten out of the car yet and they were already deafened by the screams and high pitched shrieks that came from anywhere and everywhere.
"New Orleans must have some really happy One Direction fans. First we end our tour here then we do a street performance and then a mall tour." Harry said.
Eventually they made it into the mall where they found a stage with 5 mics lined up.
The boys got on stage and each stood in front of a mic.
"Hello everybody!" Harry shouted into the mic and the screams got even louder than when they were outside.
Will went to the mic where no one was standing and announced: "We will be having a Q&A session for all of you." Will said into the mic.
Almost all of the people in the huge crowd surrounding them raised their hands.
"Where's Liam?" A fan asked.
"Liam was not able to make it today due to medical problems." Will quickly said into the mic.
"What's wrong? Is it his kidneys?" Another fan asked.
"I'm sorry but we can not give out information on Liam's condition.
"Harry! Will you marry me?" A fan shouted.
"Sure, why not." He replied and the girl fainted.
"Niall what's you favourite food?!" Someone shouted.
"Well I really love Nandos, but I have a lot of other favourites too." He replied.
"Niall if you go out with me I will cook for you everyday!" Someone shouted making them laugh.
"How can I refuse an offer like that?"
"Zayn please follow me on twitter!" A guy shouted from the crowd.
"Sure mate, what's your name?" Zayn asked.
"Daniel King" The fan replied.
Zayn took out his phone and followed the fan right there.
"Louis tell me a joke." A high pitched girl asked.
"My baby photos."
"Zayn kiss Harry!" A group of people shouted.
"Sorry but I'm engaged. Besides who knows where Harry's mouth has been." Zayn replied making everyone laugh.
"Niall will you please do my voice mail for me?" Someone asked.
"I'd love to." He said and the fans phone was taken by one of the security guards and given to Niall.
"Harry can I get a kiss from you?" A fan asked.
"Sure, come up here." Harry said and laughed.
The fan stepped on stage and Harry kissed her on the cheek. After he kissed her she shrieked as loud as she could and to make things worse there were 5 mics on the stage and she was standing in front of one.
Everybody covered their ears and by everybody I mean everyone who was in the mall.
Jill and Liam had just entered the mall and could tell where the boys would be thanks to the extremely huge crowd in the middle of the mall.
Jill squeezed herself through the crowd and managed to get close enough to see them.
Everyone raised their hands to ask a question. Jill did the same.
They didn't pick her because she was too far away from them.
"Oh my god it's Liam!" A fan shouted next to Jill, drawing everyone's attention, including the boys'.
"Shit, he's psychic she can see you." Jill said through gritted teeth.
"I know what to do. I'll influence him." Liam replied then walked up to the guy.
Liam walked up to the guy and looked him in the eye. His eyes started glowing a deep purple and so did the fans'.
"You did not and cannot see me today." Liam said slowly.
Their eyes returned to normal and the fan looked around and saw everyone staring at him.
"What are ya'l looking at?" He asked.
A second later everyone turned their attention back to the boys on stage.
Jill released a huge sigh of relief and proceeded to get closer to the stage. But before she could get closer the boys walked off the stage.
"Could I be any luckier?" Jill asked herself.
The fans followed them and she knew for a fact that if she did too, she wouldn't get close to them because of the fans in front of her and the bodyguards.
She had to think. Fast, before she lost them.
Jill ran out of the mall. In the opposite direction of everyone else. Jill ran around the parking lot.
She found the silver SUV. She ran over to it and tried to open one of the doors.
"They're all locked. Great."
Jill saw the boys and the fans coming towards the car.
"Liam is you phase through the car and get inside you can open the car from the inside then I can jump in and hide." Jill said quickly.
"It's an SUV not a RV I don't see any possible places where you can hide. Besides I can't touch anything don't you remember?"
Two security guards came towards Jill and motioned for her to move away.
The other fans were surprisingly being held back by security guards so Jill was the only person who wasn't allowed here.
"I'm sorry but you have to leave now miss." One of the guards said.
'I can't tell them what I'm really here for. If I do they will think I've gone mad and they will never let me near 1D.' Jill thought.
"I...just want to take a picture with them." Jill said.
"Fine...but quickly." The security guard said.
"Hey boys, this fan wants to take a picture with you." A guard said.
"We'd love to." Louis said.
The boys quickly gathered on each side of Jill and one of the guards tool the picture. After they took the picture Jill turned to them and went straight to business.
"I know about Liam." She said quickly."
"What do you mean?" Louis asked.
"I know he's dead."
"What are you talking about..." Harry said and trailed off.
"Look I can help you, I know how to..."
"That's enough miss." A guard said and pulled her away by her arm.
"Hey let me go." Jill said to him Nut he didn't comply.
Jill performed a One Handed Cartwheel with her caught hand and got free of his grip.
"Look, I can help you, I just need to talk!" Jill shouted as 2 other guards held her back.
The guys got escorted into the silver vehicle, even though they didn't want to. What they really wanted was to find out how this strange girl knows about Liam's death and how she can 'help' them.
"Wait..." Niall said as they were getting escorted into the SUV.
The SUV drove away.
"I have to get to my car and follow them." Jill said to Liam.
"Liam, cant you influence them into taking me to the hotel the boys are staying at?" Jill asked the security guards still holding her.
"I can try." Liam looked a guard in the eye, Liam's eyes started glowing purple but the guards' didn't. Liam was getting weaker.
"I cant influence him, it's not working."
"You're getting weaker." Jill said.
"Plan B" Jill said and performed a Cartwheel getting free of the bodyguards.
One of the bodyguards ran up to her, Jill performed a High Kick making him fall down. The other guard came to help him. He tried to grab Jill but she ducked.
Jill then executed a Roundhouse kick, and while he was bending she performed a swinging High Kick.
"I'm starting to think we should hire you as One Directions bodyguard." Liam said looking at the guards that were on the floor.
"Come on lets go." Jill said running to her car.
"Where?"
"When I was raking the picture with them I was standing in between Louis and Niall. I managed to link my aura to theirs so I can tell where they are as long as our auras stay linked.
"That's brilliant." Liam said.
They got to Jill's car and started driving.
Liam couldn't touch anything physically anymore. But if Jill transferred some k
Of her energy to him he could and that's how he was able to sit in the car.
"Uh Jill." Liam said. He was sitting in the front seat next to the drivers seat. He started becoming tangible.
"Jill I don't think I'll be able to sit in this car for much longer." Liam said as he put his hand through the window.
"Give me your hand." Jill said and blushed slightly. He did as she said.
Jill held his hand and her aura flared, transferring some of her energy to him.
All of these little tricks they learnt was thanks to phone calls to Kim. That woman must be tired of them by now.
Jill kept on driving. She transferred most of her energy to Liam so she hardly had any left. Jill got dizzy and to make matters worse she was driving.
"Jill are you alright?" Liam asked and as soon as he did Jill's head hit the window on her side. She passed out.
Liam turned the steering wheel full, making them swerve to the side of the road.
"Jill!" he shouted and shook her.
"Jill, please wake up!" He shouted.

The SUV
"What do you think that girl was talking about?" Harry asked.
"I don't know but she sounded serious." Niall said.
"How did she know about Liam?" Louis asked.
"I don't know boys but I'll inform Helen about it and hopefully she can get to the bottom of this." Will said.
"Think about it. Most of our fans pull of crazy stunts like that to get to us. She only told us all of those things after she took a picture with us. She was either a really mad fan or she could really help us." Zayn said.
"Help us how?" Niall asked.
"Yeah, what is she gonna do bring Liam back from the dead?" Louis asked.
"Who knows, maybe she can." Harry said.
West Gate Hotel, New Orleans
Liam drove back to the hotel and parked. He got out and helped the unconscious Jill get to her feet.
He put her arm over his shoulder and his arm around her waist and walked. He couldn't carry her, it would look like she was floating.
So, rather she look like she's drunk over the floating thing.
They got into the empty hallway which led to Jill's room and he decided to carry her bridal style.
They didn't have to act anymore there was no one watching.
Liam entered the room and set Jill on her bed. She was out like a light.
What was wrong with Jill? She transferred too much of her energy to Liam and she passed out. But it was worth it. Thanks to the energy 'pick me up' from Jill he could choose whether he wanted to be tangible or intangible again. Sure it wouldn't last very long thanks to his time running out but it would last long enough.
4th Junction Hotel, New Orleans
Helen was walking around the streets of New Orleans and then she went to the hotel where the boys were staying.
There was a knock on the door of room 111.
The door opened and inside the room was Will.
"I heard you ran into a little...problem." Helen said and walked in.
"Yes, this girl" Will handed a picture to Helen.
"She claims that she knows about Liam and that she can help."
"I know who she is." Helen said.
"This is Jill Grady, I've been following her, she's with someone who looks exactly like...". Helen trailed off. She wasn't sure whether it was Liam's doppelganger or if it was his ghost. Because there is no way a doppelganger will have the same birthmark in exactly the same place and the same voice and even the same tattoos.
"Don't worry. I'll take care of everything." Helen said and walked out of the room.
