In The Dark

Chapter 37

~ Jocelyn's P.O.V. ~

I wake up when my body shutters. We've arrived home. We hit the ground sadely.

My entire body feels numb as we run through the London airport. We say nothing to each other as we make it outside of the other side of the building looking for a taxi.

We hop into the first one we see and tell him our home address, and he takes us to where we want to go.

"Thank you for the ride, how much do I owe you?" I ask him.

"20," he answers curtly. I quickly hand him a twenty dollar bill and run out of the cab. Niall and I head up to the front door of our group home.

We drop our bags on the floor and grab any weapons we have in the house. I grab my computer and sit on the couch.

I quickly plug my phone in and go back to the call from a day ago, and trace to where my "mom" took our friends.

"I got it!" I yell. Niall suddenly goes red.

"Are you alright?" I ask uncertain.

"Yeah, I called the police and they're way also."

"Okay, let's get there as soon as we can, no one dies."

Niall walks over to me and grabs my hands. "I need to say this, incase we don't make it out-"

"We will make it out," I assure him.

"Well IF, we don't I just want you to know that I love you, so much." he kisses my lips with force. I quickly kiss back.

I pull away seconds after. "We have to go. It's almost been a day since she called."

"Let's go!" Niall yells. We run out to the car and I demanded that I drive.

~ Louis' P.O.V. ~

We've been sitting in this room all day, all alone. I can't wait until someone finds us and gets us out of this mess.

When I feel like no one is ever going to come back in this room, Jocelyn's "mom" walks in.

"It has been one day."

We all look around the room, eyes full of terror. I imagine dying and I suddenly feel crowded in this spacious room.

"Connor, you're coming with me," I breathe a sigh of relief when she doesn't say my name. But then it enters my mind that she said Connor's name.

"No!" he yells and she unchains his wrists. The rest of us stay quiet, all in complete shock, not knowing what to do.

"Please no," Connor sobs. I try to yell for her to stop but I can't seem to form the words.

"CONNOR!" I yell. The word left my mouth before I could stop it.

"Would you like to come along!" she yells in my face. I try to stay confident, but I whimper away. "Thought so."

The next thing I know, she takes Connor out of the room and all we can hear are his screams. I try to cover my ears, but just as I manage to somewhat block the noise, I hear a loud bang coming from the left side of the building.

My heart drops.

Either someone is here to save us,

or Connor is dead.
