Nefarious [h.s]

Chapter 19.

"We need to go." I demand to the guys. I grab my phone a towel from the shelf. The guys begin exiting the pool, putting on their shirts, and grabbing their things. 

I swing open the door to the penthouse and run down the steps. I don't bother getting out of my wet clothes and just wrap the towel around my body. I slip my wet feet into my vans.

I turn around to make sure the guys are coming. All of them come walking down the steps still dripping in their wet clothes. I hear Zayn knock on Harry's door. I unlock my phone and text Lynn that I am on my way.

My heart pounds against my chest as my anxiety rises not knowing what happened. With Dylan and the Malefic gang after me, it could be anything. Anything could be possible. I have no idea what is waiting for me.

I feel bad for not letting them change out of their wet clothes but I can't focus on anything else right now. I have no idea what happened. 

I open up the door that leads to the hallway and immediately head for the elevator.

Everyone follows in, still dripping wet. 

"Where's Harry?" I question realizing he isn't here.

"He said he will meet up with us." Zayn confirms and I nod my head. My foot taps against the floor as I wait for the elevator doors to slide open. My palms begins to sweat out of anxiety.

As soon as the doors slide open I start for the car. I can't think straight. My mind is only on what possibilities there are. 

Did Dylan hurt Lynn? Is someone hurt at all? Maybe I am just overthinking like I always do. Maybe they planned a surprise or something. My mind runs with many different ideas.

We all climb into the car. Niall and Louis in the front, Niall driving. Liam and Zayn sit in the back with me, me in the middle. I rest my hands on my knees as my leg bounces. 

"Are you even capable of driving Niall?" Louis starts.

"Yes, I am actually a very good driver unlike you." Niall fires back. He starts up the car and we leave the building.

"I'm a great driver Neil!" Niall just laughs at that. I tilt my head down to the floor and tune out everything around me.

I can't tell if I am nervous or scared. Maybe both. I feel so on edge. I pick at my bottom lip and can't sit still. I can't think straight. This car ride feels like it is taking forever when I know Jim's office is only 10 minutes away.

I can't calm down. My foot continues to bounce. Maybe I am just being dramatic like I do. 

I look up from the floor and snap back into reality. Zayn looks at me with his brows furrowed. Sometimes I wish I knew what they were all thinking. I look out the window and see the car is still going. I am ready to be out of this car.

Uneasiness fills my stomach. I check my phone to see if I got any new messages from Lynn, but no. She hasn't even read my message. Knowing she hasn't even read my message makes me even more nervous. Lynn always checks my messages.

The car comes to a stop and I am already rushing out of the car. I am nearly crawling over Liam to get out. I jog over to the building and pull open the door. I get a few looks from people as I run to the elevators but I could really care less right now. The guys follow behind me into the elevator.

I lean up against the elevator wall and tilt my head back. I close my eyes and try my best to breath but I can't seem to get enough air. I grab onto the railing with my clammy hands to keep my balance.
