*Skylar’s POV*

Well I agreed to go on a date with Niall. I was just shocked he actually liked me… I just had to get over the fact that Harry would never like me. But, Niall was such a sweetheart. So I decided to give him a chance. Then after that, it felt as if Harry was ignoring me. But that couldn’t be. The rest of the day seemed to go by quick. Before I knew it, it was the end of 8th period. I was looking all over for Harry because he was my ride but I didn’t see him, he must’ve left.

“Skylar!” I heard Niall yelling my name from across the parking lot with the guys. I run to them and hop in the car. “Where’s Harry?” I asked. They all shrugged their shoulders. Then we all got into the car. Louis was driving, Zayn was in the passengers’ seat, and Liam was next to Niall, who was next to me.

“Skylar, how does pizza and bowling sound?” Niall whispered to me.

“Sounds great, Niall.” I reply. I then put my head on his shoulder. I was tired from the whole 8 hours of school. When we got home, I took a nap. But as soon as I woke up, Harry was still gone. I had a feeling I knew where he was.

“Louis! Can I borrow your car?” I ask him impatiently.

“Sure,” he says tossing the keys to me. “but why?”

“I know where Harry is. And, I’m pretty sure he’s gonna need a ride home.” I say running out to the car.

I get in the car and start the engine. I start to drive; it takes me about half an hour to get to the abandoned building. I look around but I don’t see him.  I climb up the ladder and still no sign of Harry.

I sit down and look at the breath-taking view.

“Looking for someone?”  I heard a voice say. I turn around with a huge smile expecting it to be Harry. But it wasn’t. When I saw who it was, my stomach dropped. The familiar face made my stomach turn. It was the armed man. I was completely terrified. I didn’t know what to do.

“I wouldn’t try to run if I were you...” he says pulling out a gun, “you’re coming with me. Aren’t you a little lucky I escaped from prison?” He then grabbed the rope of the floor and tied me as I squirmed to get free, then threw me in the back of his truck. But what he didn’t know was I had my phone still. As soon as I position my self, I see Harry!

“Harry!” I whisper-scream with joy. He was tied up too.

“Skylar!” he whispered back. My hands were, sort of, free. I try reaching into my back pocket to call Niall. I got it! I position myself to call Niall who was number 3 on speed dial. *ring ring*

“Hello?” I hear Niall. “Hey, Niall. I need your help!” I say in a panic.

“What’s wrong?” he said concerned. I start explaining to him to call the police and what happened. I also gave him a detailed description of what the truck looked like and what street we were on. When I finished he told me he told me that he’d call me back. Once he ended I put my phone down and used my fingers that were free to fiddle with the ropes. I find a little pocket knife behind me and I use it to cut myself free. Finally, my arms were free to move. I soon crawl over to Harry. I untie him and he hugs me.

“No time for that! We gotta go!” after I say that, the car comes to a stop. I started to panic. I put my head up and noticed it was a red light! I also noticed the police, so we had to act fast. I grabbed the knife and me and Harry jumped out of the truck.

“What are you doing, Skylar? We must go!” he said, grabbing my arm in a panic.

“Wait!” I say quickly, pulling my arm back. I grab the knife and stab three holes in the first back tire, then another in the other. Soon I ripped a hole in the entire tire. “Now they can’t get away. No escaping.” I said with much more confidence. By then, the police caught up to the truck. They tried to escape but all they heard was popping noises near the back of the truck. Within the next few minutes they were arrested and cursing us out for absolutely nothing. I turn to walk back to the abandoned building, which was 2-3 blocks away now, and then I noticed Niall was there. He ran over to me, lifted my off my feet and kissed me softly.

“Are you alright?” he asked me.

“Yeah, I’m fine. Just got some bad rope burns.” I say showing him my arms. It was red and had the ropes pattern pressed onto them. Few seconds later, Harry tugged on my shirt and pointed towards to direction of the abandoned building. “Oh, I’ll see you at the house Niall, I promise!” I tell Niall as he grabs me for one of his famous hugs.
