The Freaks

Part 16

×××

The days leading up to today were such a living hell. Sandy still hasn't told Liam or any of the boys. Her anxiety got the best of her & just wouldn't let her speak. She even had a break down during English which she was glad to get out of. But today was the final day. It was mid-day & Sandy had to tell someone before the Language Arts event which was at the end of the day. She wanted to tell Liam during lunch but he had left a note in her locker saying he was going to play footie with Niall & Zayn. She had no choice but to tell Harry & Louis.

She made her way towards their table to find no one there. Louis & Harry left a note on the table saying they were going to be practicing for Harry's poem in the auditorium. She was left alone to eat her lunch wanting to get up & run & tell someone but her feet would not move. The bell rang ending lunch time & she knew that now she had to rush after school to catch one of the boys because she didn't have any afternoon classes with them.

Time ticked slowly during her last 3 periods. Her mind just wouldn't shut up. She couldn't stop thinking about what would happen to Harry if she didn't tell. She was trying to decide whether she should tell or not. She knew that his safety was more important but she was afraid that they might not actually do something. She was afraid that she would make up such an outrageous thing & just mess up Harry's performance. She didn't know what to do.

She heard the final bell signaling the end of school and she rushed out of her seat. She quickly changed her books in her locker and ran to Liam's locker hoping to catch him. He was nowhere to be seen. She looked and saw that neither Niall nor Zayn were at their lockers as well. She ran across the hall to see if Louis or Harry were at theirs; they weren't. Sandy began to freak out. She didn't want to think of all the possible reasons they weren't at their lockers but she did. The only thing that ran through her mind was all the worst possible things like they all got kidnapped or killed or she was too late and Jack had started his plan.

She had to be strong. She wasn't going to let this anxiety control her. She made her way to the auditorium. She found Liam, Niall, and Zayn all seated in the front. Liam had saved Sandy a seat right next to him. She quickly sat next to Liam who smiled at her.

"Hey baby" Liam said as he put his arm around her

"Hey, where's Harry?"

"He's over there with Louis" Liam said pointing to an area to the side of the stage, "Is everything alright Sandy? You seem tense"

Sandy quickly got up and went to look for Harry. She had to see him herself and make sure he was safe. She made her way to the side of the stage to find Louis admiring Harry as he was pacing back and forth.

"Louis I'm serious, what if no one likes it? What if no one claps?"

"Hazza, your story is amazing. They'll love it and I'll be right there giving you a standing ovation"

Louis pulled Harry into his lap. Harry leaned into the embrace and turned his head to give his boyfriend a light peck on the lips. Sandy couldn't help but giggle at how adorable they were.

"Oh hey Sandy, didn't see you there" Harry said turning his head towards her, still sitting on Louis's lap.

"Sorry to interrupt"

"It's no problem love" Louis responded

"Did you need something? You look a little stressed" Harry said

"Oh yeah just wanted to make sure you're alright" Sandy said. She saw that Harry was safe and she really didn't want to make him more nervous. She saw that Jack was no were in sight so Harry should be fine.
