I Wanna Save You

Chapter 20

•Chapter Twenty•

(Zayn's POV)

Niall, Louis, Liam and I stepped out of the limo. Thanking the driver, we walk toward the back entrance to the hotel. Once in the lobby, we take the elevator up to our room.

"We're home!" Louis screeches, flinging the door open.

We all freeze.

There, in the middle of the kitchen, is Harry, tied to a chair.

"Harry!" We all run toward him.

I pull the rag out of his mouth, Niall unties the rag from around his eyes and Liam and Louis get to work cutting the ropes.

"Harry," I say. "Mate, what happened?"

He blinks a couple times. "I heard a knock on the door, so I went to open it. There were three girls, and I think they sprayed me with pepper spray. I heard two pairs of feet go upstairs and the third one tied me up to the chair. They were calling each names, too. Nicknames, I bet. Jewel, K-K and Pebble."

"I wonder what they wanted," Liam said, cutting through the ropes binding Harry's feet to the chair.

"It's not what," Harry says dryly. "It's who."

I meet his eyes. "You mean-"

"Yes," he says. I run upstairs to Ivy's room. The door is open slightly. I push it open even more and burst into the room.

The bed is surrounded by cut rope and Ivy is not there. She escaped once again.

(Ivy's POV)

"She's so cute sleeping."

"Not to mention vulnerable."

"Should we wake her?"

"No! She deserves her sleep!"

I groan, waving my hands blindly. "Go away."

I crack open an eye to see Jade, Kylie and Roxie looming over me.

"I brought your clothes," Jade says, gesturing to a lump of clothes.

"You might want to hang that up," Roxie suggests, "before it gets wrinkled."

I sit up, rubbing sleep from my eyes. "I'm going to have a shower," I mutter, getting up from my mattress. "Go please yourselves somewhere else."

The three girls move quickly to the cubby hole and leave.

I walk over to the door and edge it open, entering the bathroom. I turn the shower on, stripping of my dirty clothes and stepping into the perfect water.

I scrub myself from the grime coating my body and wash my hair five times until it feels clean under my fingers.

I switch the water off and step out, wrapping a towel around my wet body. I walk out into my tiny room and randomly grab some clothes. I slip into them and walk back into the bathroom.

I notice I'm wearing a gray t-shirt and black yoga pants.

I rummage through the hair accessories drawer until I find a brush. I drag it through my damp hair until there are no more tangles. Putting the brush away, I grab an elastic and put my hair back into a ponytail. I grab a new bobby pin, slipping it under the elastic.

I step out of the bathroom, feeling like a whole new person.

"Hey!" I say, entering the kitchen and finding my friends.

"It lives!" Roxie screeches and we all laugh.

I slide into a seat next to Kylie, grabbing the box of cereal on the table and dumping the contents into my bowl.
