"So we are still going along with the new plan?"

"Yeah, which I should probably tell you about," he sighed.

"We can't take you home immediately, because in order for this plan to work, Harry needs to follow us to Russia where we happen to be holding his family. We need to move them to another location where Harry should show up. As soon as he does, we will capture him and lock him up with his family. Then we can take you back home and Harry Styles will no longer be a nuisance to you and I. That is, if you will put your trust for him aside and in us," Liam said, looking at me for an answer.

"You have my trust, I want to go home," I said, looking him right in the eyes.

Laila's POV

Harry was sitting at the coffee table twiddling his thumbs and staring blankly at an old newspaper when I came back from meeting with Liam. He immediately perked up when the elevator dinged and I stepped into the main room.

"How'd it go?" He asked, standing up from where he was sitting.

"Very well actually. I didn't think I'd make it through," I admitted.

"Well thank god you did," he sighed while striding towards me and pulling me into a tight hug.

"I also forgot to tell you that we have to head out today to get to Vegas. I have to compete in round 2 of semi-finals," he frowned.

"I thought you were headed straight for finals," I said.

"Well that's what they told me, but Zayn said that they forgot they added in another round this year."

"That sounds a bit suspicious coming from Zayn."

"I know, that's why I looked into it. It turns out he was right and wasn't just screwing with me. I read it in the official competition rules."

"Good. We don't need any more surprises."

"Truer words have never been spoken," he agreed and started off towards the bedroom.

After a few hours of messing around and attempting to pack, we finally stumbled into the elevator to meet Zayn who was outside with Harry's assigned driver.

Zayn flicked his cigarette to the curb and smiled at us, causing Harry to scowl.

"Remind me again why I can't punch his face in?" He huffed.

"Because you need him to help you win this championship," I muttered while smiling fakely back at Zayn.

"Hello Harold! Laila! As you know we are headed to Las Vegas but-"

Harry rolled his eyes and brushed past Zayn to get in the car. I sent an apologetic smile to Zayn and quickly climbed into the car after him.

"But," Zayn continued, climbing into the front seat and turning to face us, "You really have to keep your heads down there. People will do anything for money and that means they will jump at the opportunity to not only piss you off, but also humiliate you. That being said I would recommend-"

"Would you shut it already?! I already have to spend hours upon hours with you driving and flying and I don't want to hear any more than I need to," Harry snapped causing Zayn to flinch slightly before continuing his speech.

"All I'm saying is be careful," he said, looking at me in particular.

"Well thanks for your concern mum, but I think I can handle it," he hissed and Zayn sighed, turning around to face the road.

I looked over to Harry and placed my hand on top of his. He entwined his fingers with mine and gave me a half smile. I did this when he was upset or frustrated to calm him down. It wasn't much, but it was all I was comfortable doing.

I knew our relationship was unhealthy from the start but it didn't stop me from growing to care about him. He was very charming and knew how to make you smile. But his dark side was what really set me off. I still haven't been able to figure out who he really is and it bugs me.

Sure, we've messed around and shared a few kisses, but it still felt like something was holding me back. In a way, I wanted to love Harry and give him the company he needed but I also had the urge to get as far away from him as possible.

I'm still confused as to what I really want, and all I can do now, is trust that he will be able to get his family back safely and keep me out of harm's way. Maybe I will choose to stay, but it's just too hard to decide now.

"You ok?" A voice interrupted me from my thoughts.

I looked over to see Harry looking at me and Zayn's eyebrow raised.

"Yeah, I'm fine, just thinking," I answered and smiled slightly.

"You sure?"

"Yes, I'm just tired."

"Ok, well we are about 15 minutes from the airport so just be wary of the paps and all that," Harry said and Zayn chuckled.

"Something funny Malik?"

"Oh no, I'm just remembering a fun time we had with the paps. Do you remember that night Harry?" Zayn smirked, clearly trying to get a rise out of Harry.

"I'd rather not," Harry snapped and turned to look out the window.

"Aw sure ya do, those twins were a real great find. The paps ate it up!" Zayn laughed.

"Shut up," Harry hissed.

"What were their names, Bambi and Karli?"

"I said shut up."

"I'm just trying to relive some good times," Zayn answered.

"Well I'd rather not," Harry muttered.

"Well I-"

"I SAID SHUT UP!!!!" Harry roared and Zayn smirked at him, happy with ticking Harry off.

"Maybe we'll remember another time," he sighed.

Man, I wonder how Harry had put up with this guy, he seemed so innocent at first. I wonder why he hates Harry so much. Liam wouldn't be a good enough reason. There has to be more.

"We're here," Harry grumbled and opened his car door.

He jogged around to open my door and I stepped out onto the warm pavement. The flashes of cameras immediately blinded me and I tucked my head down to avoid loosing my eyesight.

Harry guided me through the small crowd of photographers and into the airport where we went straight through security and straight to the jet we had flown in to get to LA.

Author's Note

First off, I would like to point out that none of Zayn's behavior in this is based on me being upset at him, it's just how his character acts. Second, I am sorry I haven't updated in a while, I've been lazy! School has been out for a couple weeks and I'm just trying to relax. I will try to be better about updating. On another note, the boys are back on tour!!!! I wish I could see them but they aren't coming very close to where I live so it stinks. Hopefully all of you that are going will have an awesome time!
