Adopted. (1D FanFic)

Wait

I couldn't feel anything. Not the touch of Louis arms wrapped around me. Not my heart racing from what just happened. Nothing. I could hear the distant screams of Zayn and Louis yelling in the background saying for me to wake up. But I couldn't. I'm weak. I can only feel my heart breaking from the events that just happened. My cousin falling to the ground, because of me. Losing Harry. Not being able to keep it together. My life is a complete mess. And I know for a fact it isn't going to lighten up anytime soon. 

I felt the drops of water fall to my cheeks as the cold wind brushed my skin. I could feel the warm hands around my back and legs as I was pressed up to their chest. Feeling was slowly coming back. I could feel myself leaving the plane. I could also hear the distance of the plane leaving. 

I stirred in his arms as he laid me on the couch. His warms body snuggling close to mine as tried to comfort my sleeping body. I figited to get my eyes open, to soon feel the body laying against me shoot up. "Carter?" I opened one eye to find Louis sitting there, eyes filled with worry. "Oh my thank goodness!" He pulled me into his grasp, making me flinch a litte. He pulled out with worried eyes. 

"My arm is-" I said trying to lift my sleeve up. I had several bandages all over my arms, legs, and one wrapped around my ankle. "Am I dying?"

Louis let out a chuckle and pulled me into another hug. "No babe. You are just fine." I lifted my shorts that were placed over me bandage to my stabbed leg, seeing that they looked find. 

"Where are we?" I asked as I looked around the unfamiliar place.

"California." My eyes widened as he stepped to open the blinds. Outside there was a view of the ocean. It was a sunny bright day out, waves looking very calm. I frowned at what I saw. My life was to messed up for a pretty view like that. Way to pretty. "Are you alright Carter?" 

"Where are the others?" I asked as I looked around. He smiled and sat next to me. His smile told me he was happy, but his eyes disagreed. "Louis. Where are they?"

"Harry couldn't let that guy get away with what he did," Louis began. "Him and the others went to put an end to it." My eyes widened as he tried to wrap his arms around me. I pushed him away still shocked. 

"You let him go?! Louis those guys are dangerous! They could get killed!" I yelled as I tried to get to my feet. In too much pain, I fell back to the couch. "Louis we have to go after them."

"Carter, you have taken to many hits my friend. You are not going anywhere!" He snapped back. 

"Louis," I said with my glarring eyes. "You take me to them or I will call Anne and have her send a plane for me." His eyes narrowed at my threaten. He knew I wasn't afraid to do it. And I was going to if he didn't.

He let out a loud, annoyed sigh before standing to his feet. "Harry will kill me."

"And I'm going to kill you if we don't put a stop to this. Now hand me some pants and a sweat shirt and let's go!" I said trying to stand once more but sadly failing. He handed me a blanket, laying me down on the couch. 

"I'll get a plane for tomorrow. But right now, rest. I want you to at least be able to walk if we go." His words were soft and sweet as he tried to hold his anger back. I knew he wasn't happy with my desion but I needed to help Harry. Him and the others are going to get seriously hurt if I don't do anything about it. 

"Carter?" I heard Zayn's voice say as he rushed in from the front door. "CARTER!" He pulled me into his arms and hugged me close to him. His head was buried into the crook of my neck as I felt the warm tears slide down my shoulder. "I'm so happy you're alive." I pushed him arms length away so I could see him full faced.
