Heart Crushing Step// N.H

"So, she's gone huh?"

*NIALL'S PART OF VIEW*

It's been 3 days since they caught Lexi. Everyone tried to find them but they left that night they caught her.

I can't imagine what there doing to her. I'm so freaking scared. Know one has spoken to anyone for days.

Most if them have been crying. Or was that just me? Never mind, anyways I've been thinking and crying. Just trying to think of something.

I can't. I couldn't. It's been hard ever since. I just can't deal with her not laying next to me or just sleeping or even talking to her.I seriously can't take it. I haven't had any sleep or nor have I ate. I need her. I need her. That's all I need.

I then finally got the guts to walk out of this room. I opened the door and stepped my feet out if the door and closed my door behind me.

I looked around. Nothing. I heard. Nothing. I then walked down the hallway facing Liam's room. I knocked.

"Liam? Open up!" I said as a dried out Liam with his hair all crazy and tears streamed his face. I have never seen him so wrecked ever since his breakup with Danielle.

"Hey, Niall." He said as he tried not to cry even more. "Sup, buddy. Can I come in?" I asked. "Sure." He said as he ran his hand through his hair.

I looked around. Normal. I looked at his bed and saw it messed up. He might have been going everywhere trying to also find a way.

"I'm sorry dude. I should have gone up there with her. I let her I should have stopped her! It's all my fault!" He said as he bawled his eyes out and falling on his bed

"Liam. Mate, it's not your fault. She did it for her own good. She didn't want any of us to get hurt." I said patting his shoulder as he slumped.

"I just need time to regroup. She was like my best friend or kind of like a sister." He said looking at the ground.

I nodded and got up. "I'm going to go check on the others. Okay?" I asked.

"Okay." He said. I walked out and headed across the hall to Louis's room. After Reagan pushed him down the stairs he has been bruised on his back ever since.

I was about to knock but then he opened the door and hugged me. I hugged back. "I thought you will never come out of that room." He said as he sniffles. I smiled and let go.

"Don't worry Tommo I got you." I said as we both went inside. I looked around there was a board on his wall with papers and everything. Sketches, maps, and also pictures. I awwwed at the sight.

"I've been trying to track them." He said as he stood next to me. I then looked closer. I saw a picture of Reagan, Magnolia, and Kaylee at a bar. Nolie had brusies and scratches on her legs, arms, and face.

"How did you get this?" I asked turning to face Louis. 

"Yesterday or maybe about 2 days ago. Um, I asked someone to track them down and pretty much stalk them really." He said lightly laughing at the end.

I nodded and looked some more. I turned back around and saw Louis crying. 

"Mate, Louis. Its not your fault, its gonna be okay." I said walking to him and patting him on the back.

"I just, I- tried. I tried so hard to make her be happy and not worry. But something bad will always happen." He says crying even more. I sighed.

"Look. Everyone was trying not just you okay?" I said trying to make eye-contact.

"Okay.." He said. I nodded and got up. I walked out of the room and looked down the hall and saw Sarah on the balcony looking at the city. I walked towards her and stood right next to her also looking at the city.

"So, she's gone huh?" Sarah says still looking out.

"Not entirely. Just hidden." I said grossed out by the word.

"Oh, well still she's....gone." She says looking at me. I sighed and ran my hands over my face.

"I still can't believe Reagan did all that to just make things right between them." She says sitting down on one of the balcony chairs. I thought for a moment. 

"What if that wasn't why he kidnapped her?" I said looking at her.

Her eyes light up. We then ran down the hallway to Louis's room. I opened the door, he was on his computer typing away. I looked on the screen seeing him on Magnolia's, Reagan's, Lexi's, and Kaylee's twitter and instagram.

I then saw a picture pop up on Lexi's instagram. I gasped and saw the picture. It was her and Reagan,

Kissing.
