Chapter 24 Aftermath

Zayn's Pov

Soon after the villains had left, Louis quickly took care of the thieves with a swipe of his hand. Fire wrapped them up in tight shackles but didn't burn any of them. I was really in awe of his control.

Police rushed in, guns blazing but they didn't aim it at us.

"Its been taken care of," Liam called out to one of them. One of them glance at us while the rest hurried towards the thieves.

"Thank you so much! Can I ask who are you lads?" The police officer gushed, her voice grateful.

Me and the lads glanced at each other before Louis stepped forward.

"We're One Direction and it was no problem. We'd loved to hang out but we gotta go," Louis said firmly and the police officer only nodded with another thank you. He turned back to us and waved us on without word out of the bank.

We're faced with crowds screaming at us and cameras everywhere. Now, I'm really glad our faces are covered so people won't recognize us.

"Come on, we've got to check on Harry," Louis said seriously. Then I remembered what the villains had said about distracting us.

"Wait, you think they were distracting us to get to Harry?" I said suddenly with realization. Louis turned back to me with burning eyes and nodded simply before his flames flared around him.

The crowds got even louder and the cameras were surrounding us so I quickly raised my hand, an old lonely skateboard appearing in my hands. Liam and Niall both followed after Louis as he quickly shot off with a burst of his flames.

I followed quickly after, using my telekinesis force to propel me using the skateboard in the direction of where Louis was taking us.

I just hoped Harry was alright.

Louis's Pov

I quickly rushed back to the flat, my heart pounding. As soon as I landed, I ripped off my mask and rushed towards the door, knowing that Harry must've kept it unlocked. I wrenched the door open and as soon as I stepped inside, I felt the harsh cold.

I knew immediately that Matthew was here and before my anger could build, I squashed it, focusing on Harry.

"Harry! Haz?" I called out, jogging through the kitchen with a few glances before looking into the living room and then I saw him.

Harry sat against the wall, his head back and eyes on the ceiling. His lips were blue and his skin was grey. Puffs of air swirled out from his mouth of breaths. His head snapped to where I was and I could see him shivering harshly.

"Lou..." He rasped out. I rushed over to him, quickly bringing him into my arms. He curled into me instinctively and I shuddered from how cold he was. I took a deep breath, breathing out my flames to hug him. Harry sighed into the warmth, relaxing into me with his eyes drooping close.

"Harry, who did this?" Liam asked, him, Zayn and Niall appearing behind me with concerned eyes for the boy. I felt my eyes burned. I already could guess who had done this but I wanted Harry to confirm it.

"Matthew," He whispered though through the silence everyone heard. I shook my head, biting my lip to keep from growling. I moved to sit on my knees, wrapping an arm under Harry's legs and the other under his back, picking him up bridal style.
