Zayn's p.o.v 5

As we walked out of the studio, I took a deep breath of fresh air and cooled down. It was hot in there and the tension was high from the awkward and totally out of the ordinary interview. 

An Adison Lee taxi picked me up by the door and I said goodnight to everyone.

I still haven't seen Perrie yet because she's promoting her album in the US with her band, but I called her and there was a lot of crying.
She's coming back next week for a holiday and I can't wait.

For now, we all need to focus on getting Elle back. It's so weird to think that right at this moment, she is in Reece's captivity. It gave me shivers when I thought of all the possibilities of what he could be doing to her.

I sighed and made small talk with the taxi driver, and when we got to my house, I thanked him and paid the bill.

I decided to go on the internet for the first time since we've been back. I first went on twitter to discover that I had millions of new followers and direct messages and billions of tweets. Literally. Billions.

I tweeted, 'Hi guys, thanks for all the support over last two weeks. Love you ;) x'

In seconds it had loads of replies and retweets/ favourites. I decided to leave twitter and watch some news clips on YouTube.

I was shocked that they showed as much as they did. I would have thought they wouldn't have aired some clips that Reece broadcasted again because of how disgusting his behaviour to Elle was.

I also re-watched the interview that we just did before calling some friends in the US who I haven't spoken to since before everything happened. I knew it was late here but it isn't too late across the pond.

First I spoke to Perrie again, who was having dinner with her friends on NYC. We only talked for 15 minutes or so because she was in a restaurant and her meal had arrived.

I messed around for a couple of hours, eating and watching vines and YouTube. I just couldn't seem to sleep.

As I was about to ring my aunt who lives in Australia, my phone rang and I looked at the called I.D.

Liam?

It's really early in the morning here so I expected all the others to be asleep now.

Oh well. I answered quickly, wondering what the hell Liam wanted at 4 o'clock in the morning. 

"Hi Liam, what’s u-"

"ZAYN TURN ON YOUR TV!"
He interrupted me.

"What? Why are you even aw-"

"JUST turn it on to BBC 1 Zayn! YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT."

I shrugged o myself and trudged down to my living room. Liam was still on the line but we weren't talking.

I changed the channel and saw a picture of us and Elle, taken from a broadcast, on the news. I waited a second to hear a headline but I had a good feeling about this.

I wept with joy when the newsreader said,
"Now for our breaking news. Previously missing, Jamie Browning, 23 and 19 year old Eleanor Browning have been returned to their family safely and their kidnapper is currently being tracked down. A spokesperson has revealed that they escaped their kidnapper, along with 21 year old Samuel Wilkinson. We currently have no footage of the ex-hostages but they will be given time to rest before they make any appearances. They arrived a Scotland yard station at 3 am this morning and reports say that they have been transferred to a nearby hospital."
