Catch me if you can [NARRY AU]

Chapter fifty three

It is cold in here. How long have I been in this place? All I know is that I am safe. But what about my lovely Harry? What about Zayn? Liam? I am even worried about Louis.

My hands are clammy and I put them under my tights. I tell myself to breathe, but it's too stuffy in here. It's a small, cold room, with a bed and a chair and a desk, all very uncomfortable. They rid me of my own shoes and clothes when I came in here. Now I'm dressed in weird shoes with no laces and an orange jumpsuit. It's all ugly in here.

I hear something outside the door. It has a small window in it but I rarely look through it, I always see the back of someone's head. I hear two men talking, and then the door is being opened. A guard and a man in a fancy suit are standing in the doorway.

"Horan, up." The guard says. They treat you like dogs here, but I do as I'm told. In the beginning I didn't and I got a lot of trouble. The guard walks over to me and handcuffs me, like it's necessary. It's not. I'm not dangerous. I follow him outside my cel, and the guy in the suit gives me a nod.

"Mister Horan, I am lawyer Calder. You don't know me but your boyfriend and his friends have send me here."  I smile at the mention of Harry.

"My Harry? Is he okay?" I ask, eagerly so. The man gives me a sympathetic smile.

"As far as I know he is fine, just tired." He says. I know he is holding something back but I'll take it. Al least he is safe too. That's all I ever wanted.

I wanted to call Harry, hear is lovely, deep voice and make him laugh. I want him to know that I love him. I want know if he is safe. But they wouldn't let me. The first few days were hard, but with a lawyer by my side now, I don't think I have to be here for long. They will see I acted in self defense and let me go.

We walk through the hallways, which have the same doors as me, and I can hear people scream, and cry and punch things. I flinch with every sound, and it brings me back to the house. I need to defend Zayn and me, it's not safe here, it's not safe here. The guard and the lawyer are gone, where did they go? I look around me but I can't see anything. It is all very dark, and quiet, too quiet. I smell the filth of the crackhouse, so I know he was here. My hands are still cuffed so I can't do anything, I have no gun since I left that in my house, where I was hiding. How did I even come here? And suddenly everything is black.

I wake up in a white room with a massive headache. A nurse, which I know her name is Amy, smiles at me as soon she sees I'm awake. I come here sometimes, wake up like now, with no clue what has happened. Whenever I ask, she smiles and says its for the best. I never know what she means.

"Hi Niall, good to see you're back with us." She says, she is always friendly, but I can see by the shaking of her hands she is a bit scared of me. All the rumors about me here are misunderstandings. I had to kill those people, they were going to come after Harry and Zayn, after everyone I love. I couldn't let that happen.

"Thank you, Amy." I say instead. I smile and jump of the bed.

"Your lawyer is waiting for you." She says, right when a guard walks in. I nod at her as I follow him outside, after he handcuffed me again. The guard doesn't say anything but I don't mind. We walk through a few more corridors before he stops me for a door that looks like my own. Everything looks the same here.

The guard opens the door and I see Calder and a few folders on a table in the room. He guides me to my seat and I roll my eyes. Like I would hurt the only person who could get me out of here. He locks me to the table and walks out of the room.

"Hello Niall, it's nice to see you're okay again." I look at him funny but I don't say anything, I have no idea what he's talking about.

"So, I am here to help you in court. Before I came here I have talked to your friend, Zayn. He is currently released from jail."
