Liam's p.o.v 2
As soon as I saw the man on the TV, I knew exactly who he was.
Elle’s father.
I remember her telling me bits and bobs about her family when we used to meet up regularly but she seldom mentioned him. I did see a photo of him in Elle's purse once when we were out. I can tell they had a rough past but she obviously wants to remember him if she had that photo with her all the time.
The TV image showed him crying and pleading for someone to find his 'baby Ellie' and bring her home.
Elle looked disgusted.
"Ugh like he cares." She muttered. Sam squeezed her shoulder comfortingly and the boys looked confused.
Elle sighed, "That's my dad. He ditched me and my mum a couple of years ago for a blonde bitch. I don't think they are even together anymore. I barely ever saw him before I was brought here. He doesn't give two shits about my brother and I. But I still love him, obviously, because he's my dad, but mum moved on and it's not the same anymore. I don't know why he's campaigning for my release. He hasn't shown any care for me since I was little." She finished. The boys nodded sympathetically and we looked onto the screen to see a new face.
Elle's p.o.v
The minute I saw my Cousin Jamie's tearful face I broke down. Jamie and Chris were the closest people I had, even though we were cousins. Well we still are cousins obviously but we are hardly close, I have no idea where I am.
Jamie is 23 and Chris is 26. We have always been so close and seeing them on TV. brought me back home.
Jamie was sobbing while trying to get through a campaign speech. I wish they knew that it is a waste of time. Reece isn't going to let me go any time soon.
"Elle is one of the most important people in my life and many other lives of the people that know her. Kidnapping is cruel and it has ripped away her life and destroyed the lives of her family, us. It has driven us insane. We don't even know if she's-" he choked on his words, "if she's alive anymore. Please, please, please, If you know anything, tell us so we can get her back."
Tears were streaming down my cheeks and the boys looked quite emotional.
The reporter said that that speech was only a short while after I had been kidnapped so Jamie and Chris would have seen the videos that have been broadcast since then.
My heart was thumping loudly against my chest at the mere thought of my family.
The program went on to show things about the boys families and they obviously got that same feeling as me. It showed a grand total of the money that has been raised so far and it was nearing 4 million, but I knew that it was over that now, the program may be old.
Realization suddenly hit the boys.
"So we're going home soon?" Niall asked.
I smiled weakly, trying to pretend that I was over the moon. "Yeah, you are."
"Elle please come with us. I can't bear leaving you behind." Liam admitted.
"It's not exactly my choice, as much as I would like to leave this shit hole. There still is a million to raise boys, anything could happen. Please don't get your hopes up too much. And when you leave, you really can't give information to the police. Reece will kill us, no doubt."
"Of course" Louis smiled. "I can't believe it. I thought we would be here for weeks."
My feelings hurt at his absent minded comment. I know that they were happy that they are leaving sometime soon, but Sam and I are not and I felt somewhat jealous of their soon to be freedom, even though my goal in this was to keep One Direction safe and free them.

*Next morning*
We had all gone to bed just past 12, after the program had ended. It felt nice to sleep in bed, feeling happier and safer.

I got up around half past 7 and found that I was almost first up. I went to the kitchen and found Zayn making a smoothie.
"Bloody hell Zayn, you don't exactly come across as an early riser." I laughed and he smirked and poured a glass of the fruity drink and gave it to me.
"I'm full of surprises, me. Nah, I was just thinking too much of home and my family and Perrie and i needed to distract myself before I got my hopes up."
I nodded, taking a sip of the drink.
"Mmm, this is actually quite nice."
"Management make us eat and drink healthy stuff so I had to learn how to make it."
