It's Complicated - One Direction

Chapter 15

Harry's POV

I woke up Monday morning to my mum shaking me awake. I sat up and looked over to the other side of the bed expecting to see Ariela as usual, but I was met with the sight of Zayn. Just then, all of my memories came flooding back. I groaned and fell back on my bed.

"Harry love, you want to get up and look for Ariela right?" My mum asked me in a voice I was probably as tired as.

"Yeah, I'll be down in a minute." I threw myself out of bed and shoved on the first thing I sweater I saw. It was my favourite purple Jack Wills one. Wait a minute; Ari was wearing this last night when she ran away. So that means she came back sometime during the night to get some of her own clothes. I charged downstairs and into the kitchen where my mum sat peacefully eating some toast.

"Mum! Ariela was wearing this sweater when she left, which means she came back to get different clothes!"

"Oh my! And I left the back door open in case she came back. Well at least we know she's okay. But that also means she didn't want to stay here."

"Well where could she have gone?" I asked my mum and myself.

"I don't know." Mum's voice got weaker. Suddenly I had an idea!

"I think I know!" I shouted.

"Well don't just stand there, get your arse in gear!" We both ran to the car forgetting about the sleeping Zayn in my room. I started it up and pulled out of the driveway knowing exactly where to go, the cemetery.

Once we got there I jumped out of as soon as the car was in park. I raced to her mother's grave as fast as I could, but found my little Ari nowhere in sight. I looked down at the headstone, it read:

Alexandra Elizabeth Tomson (Starford)

1964-2004 claimed by cancer at 40

She will be dearly missed by her husband and two daughters

"I never really noticed that Alex's maiden name was close to Louis' last name." I said to my mum who had now caught up and was standing next to me.

"Yeah, Tomson is pretty similar to Tomlinson. Come to think of it, Alex told me that she shortened her other last name."

"What do you mean other last name? I thought it was her maiden name." I asked confused.

"You see honey; Alex was married to a different man before she met Denis. She insisted on putting the man's last name on her headstone when she passed on. Don't ask me why because I never knew. She never even told me his first name but she told me his last name... bloody hell why didn't I think of this before?!"

"What mum?!" I asked again confused by her statement.

"Never mind love, you'll know in time. Now, Ariela is obviously not here, do you have anywhere else in mind?"

"No, this is the only place I can think of. I hope she's okay though, I wouldn't want anything to happen to my Ari." I am so worried about her words can't even begin to explain it.

We got back to the house to find Zayn and Daniela attempting to make food while Gemma was yelling out directions. But I couldn't seem to get what my mum had said out of my head. It will be forever looming in the back of my mind until I find out.

Liam's POV:

"Niall," I said flicking his ear, "it's seven."

"hmhgdhkbmahdfikjki."

"Niall, we need to get up."

"Mkuhdef Ariela's lost, khdbib."

"Yes Niall I know, that's why we need to go look for her now."
