Protecting One Direction

Chapter 18 - The Chase

They began to run to the mini volkswagen car at the carpark. Shit.

Zayn was the last to board the van as he was waving to the fans. He looked so happy.

"Go! Now!" I hurried the driver. He was looking so confused but followed my order anyway. The car was accelerating by the second.

"Can this go faster?" I shouted.

"Hold on miss," he said calmly. He pulled the gear to 5. The car looked smaller and smaller as the van went faster.

"Phew!" I sighed. "What happened?" Niall asks after I turn my head to look towards them.

"Red Lemons and Kathlyn are following us," I explained.

"What?" Everyone was saying in unison. Their faces were all shocked.

"How do you its Kathlyn?" Niall immediately talked back.

"I saw with Red Lemons the other time. This time I know its her." Niall's face changed from an indenial state to believing what I had said.

But, I saw the newbies looking normal as if nothing happened.

"Who are they?" Pete asked. "Yeah," Chelsea continued.

"The kidnapper and accomplice." Harry began speaking up from his silence.

They nod simutaneously. I looked behind again, making sure the exact car was not following us. I could not just sleep right now, I have to keep a look out.

Half an hour later, Harry slowly falls asleep on my shoulder, looking cute as ever. Zayn, Liam, Preston following with Louis all fell asleep on each others shoulders. They were drooling on each other. Gross, but aww so cute!

My head was bobbing front and back to keep myself from falling asleep.

"Umm Grace," Niall started the conversation. "Can.. I ask you a question?"

"Sure," I told him, nodding my head.

"How do I put this?" He continued, "How did you exactly fall in love with Harry? All I know he has been dating models and famous ladies ever since we were together as a band. What caught his attention?" He questioned with his blue eyes staring at me intensively.

"Firstly, thats two questions," I began talking. His cheeks was beginning to warm up, showing pink skin. "Secondly, I honestly don't know. We just liked each other from the start? Something like that I guess."

"But!" Niall shouted, objecting my sentence. His voice slowly soften down. "But, you seemed like you had the crush on me?"

My face immediately turned red as I thought about how I treated him on the first day. But I tried defending myself, not getting the truth leaked out by my carelessness.

"But you pecked me on the cheeks, Niall," I argued back.

"That can't-" His voice raised up. Pete shushed him up as he went back to his iPhone 5S. Hearing the typing sounds, Niall continued speaking for himself.

"That can't possibly tell you anything. I'd kiss any fan on the cheeks for a picture! But, you squealed like a seal that day. You can't just suddenly lose your interest in me!" He tried whispering but ended up with shouting out loud.

"Shhh," Harry said while closing his eyes. Wait, Harry is hearing this conversation?

"I found out about your girlfriend and moved on, okay?"

"So you did like me! How could-"

"Miss, we're here," the driver said pulling the brakes in front of the mansion.

"Enough of this, we'll talk about it later. Wake them up," I sighed, ruffling Harry's curly hair.

"Hey babe," Harry said, looking up and closing his eyes again.

"Aye, we're here. Stop sleeping, you pig." I giggled. He groaned as he followed me back into the house.

"Can I talk to you?" Harry whispered into my ear. I point to my room while I nod in agreement.

We reached his room to sit down and chat.

"Whaddya wanna talk about?" I asked.

"Answer in all honesty, Okay?" I nod. "Do.. do you still have feelings for Niall?"

Do I?

"No, I love you! What makes you say that?" I look up to his gorgeous green eyes.

"Okay, okay. I trust you."

He did not seem to trust me. His eyes wandered off. But, I did not want to push the drama further.

"I trust you too, Harry."

"I'll go back to my room, I'm sleepy. Goodbye Grace." Harry insisted. Usually, he would want to cuddle up and sleep, this time he slept on his own.

What have I done wrong?
