——————————————————- -
YOUR POV:
I show Lisa the recordings and she does the same. Niall is so stunned that his head aches. 'I dunno how you MANAGE to stay hooked for so long!'

'Calm down Niall.' I say, stroking my hair. I'm so exhausted with the day events. I can see tiredness in everyone's eyes. 'I think we should call it a day.' I say, examining each one of them. Harry nods first. 'Sure!'

So there we go. It's around 6:30 p.m. days are passing quite fast. Only a week more and I dunno how actually we are going to solve the case. There are too many breaks. Too many suspects.

I decide to drop 1d in their lobby (including Niall) and then head back home. But on coming there, we see media storming by. I look at Mayne and David to manage, but seeing them so exhausted, I decide to give it a break.

I call out an officer, who's desperately trying to control the media. He rushes to me.
'Ms.y/n!!' He yells over, to overcome the rush. 'Please sign a parchment for 1d to stay by in the guest house tonight. I don't want them to confess anything to the media regarding the case!' I yell back.
He gives a nod and rushes back.

'So, we staying in the guest house tonight?' Lisa asks, clearly excited to leave the lobby.

'Uhuh' Lisa concludes and they all exchange glances of joy. I drop them near the guest house. Lisa suddenly says 'can I just have a drink and then leave?'
'Of course!' Says Harry. 'I need one too.'

So we all get into the guest house. David and Mayne prefer to get back home and sleep so they take leave. I lay on the cushion, Niall right next to me. We chat for a while, after which I see Lisa filling up a beer bottle.

'Lisa, I think you are overfilling.' Lisa always has this habit fo over drinking, which makes her say things unnecessary.
'Hey I'm ok! I can control myself.' She says, and fills the entire 500ml glass. I glare at her.
All the boys fill theirs too. I don't feel like it. So I just lay in the couch. Then I Suddenly see Lisa filling another bottle. 'Whoa whoa watch it!' Zayn yells from there. 'That's a very strong alcohol.'
'I know, I can manage ok?' Lisa says, now giggling. Oh no, alcohol is talking effect.
'Which is that?' I ask.

'The black dog.' Louis says, now keeping his glass down and watching Lisa cautiously. 'We all are drinking red wine.'

I get up from my seat and rush towards her. 'Lisa, stop. Right. Now.'
'No!' She squeals 'stop touching me.' She suddenly pushes me by my waist. Oh that pain. The gash is still there. I see blood oozing out. 'Y/n!!' Niall shouts, followed by Louis and the others. 'Oh my god y/n!' Niall says, now removing my balancer. 'She hit you right in the gash!'

I look up at Lisa. She is giggling and is almost about to fall off, when Liam catches her on time. He says 'Niall and me will take her upstairs, you all mange y/n.'
'I'll be fine.' I say. But looking at my wince, Niall says 'no way. It's bleeding. I'll carry Lisa upstairs while you all take care of y/n. Even you Liam. You bandage the best here.'
He nods reluctantly. 'Call if you need help.' Harry yells behind his shoulder. All of them help me sit on the couch. 'Oh god!' I wince. The gash is bleeding harder and harder. 'I'll be fine.' I say. I think Zayn gets my motive. I don't want the boys to help me so much. I am not worth a help, I swear.

'Don't feel bad that we are helping you y/n. You deserve much more.' Zayn says.
Niall carries Lisa bridal style , while she actually tries to get off his grip. 'Does she always over drink?' Liam asks, now bandaging over my shirt.

'Yes. That's why I was so hesitant to let her drink.' I say, now wincing harder than ever.
'Y/n?' Liam says, uncertainly.
'Ya?' I ask.
'May I?' He trails.
I look at where he is looking. He needs to wrap the bandage over my abdomen. I first get hesitant, but later agree.
Everyone actually respects my privacy. They turn away from the sight. I smile. These are best friends.

NIALL POV:
'lemme go!' Lisa yells, trying to get off me. 'Oh my god! If I knew that you get so overdosed, I would have never let you drink.' I say, gasping for breath.

'That's why y/n doesn't  let me drink!!'
'Ok, you don't have to yell for that!' I say in return. I'm panting as I actually climb the stairs with such a big load. (She's not heavy, don't worry).

After I land her on bed, more like throw her, I wipe off my sweat and scratch my neck.

'You fancy y/n don't you?!' She says giggling. I look at her. In amusement. My cheeks go pink and before I can say anything, she says 'I knewwww itttttt!' With a such a high squeal. 'Please shut up, Lisa. Please!' I say, covering her mouth, but her giggles don't stop.

'If I tell you about y/n , you will certainly never like her.' Lisa states.
I am about to leave but stop midway. Quickly spinning around, I say 'what?'
'You wanna know? A little secret?' Lisa asks, chuckling, and beckoning me to come close.
No Niall, Lisa is drunk. Don't believe her. Y/n's good. Don't let her get at you. But Mayne and Lisa's words take control of me and I lunge forward. My brain yells at me to stop being so reckless but I can't help.

I lean close to her. She is filled with alcohol. 'Y/n killed someone.' She whispers. I stumble backwards. 'What?!' I whisper back.
'Yes, she killed someone. But never told anyone but me.'
'Lisa, you are seriously drunk. Go to bed' I say, now sweat dripping further from me. I try to breathe at a normal rate. She must be under the effect of alcohol. She's lying Niall! My head says. She's totally Lyinggg!

'Why don't you see for yourself?' lisa asks, handing me a pair of spare keys. 'It's in the other side of the bedroom. Check for yourself.' Her giggles don't stop.

No Niall,please don't do that! I keep motioning to myself. Her cupboard keys and privacy are none of your concern. When she trusts you enough, she'll tell.

But my legs urge me to move. I shut my eyes and allow myself to breathe. 'What? You don't wanna know? Then give the keys back to me.' Lisa says, a wide smile on her face. I know she caught me hard, she knows herself. 'No!' I say, keeping the keys out of reach.

I just move forward, going to the cupboard. My head feels heavy. I just try to fit the key in the cupboard, and there you go. It opens. A journal. And when I see on top, I can see the name, which gives me chills. My spine sweats and a big pit forms on my stomach. I read it at least 3 times, to make sure my eyes are alright.

It reads 'Mayne Austin - a journey'

What the hell is mayne's diary doing here? And what was written in it? I quickly open it. Too far to back out. I take out the 1st page, which reads 'Eliot.' It sounds like a name. Someone's name.

'Niall?'
