I stand there with my jaw dropped open, Louis puts his hand on my shoulder.

"Ali, you have no need to be worried," Louis tries to calm me. "Only Harry has to worry, and me, and Liam, and Niall, and Zayn."

"No, I shoplifted." Tears spring in my eyes, I try blinking them away. Louis hugs me and takes me into his room. He sits on the bed with his head in his hands. I stand in front of the closed door, wiping tears away with my sleeve.

"I got one of those disposable phones so I'm going to text Harry, Niall and Zayn letting them know that the cops are here." Louis says. I can't think straight, if I end up getting locked up in prison Harry can't hurt me anymore, other people will though.

"I'm gonna go for a walk." I rubs where Harry cut me on my arm. "I won't say anything, I promise." I open the door and walk down the hallway and into the lobby. Police are in the back searching through things. I stop for a minute, then continue walking.

"Uhm, Miss I'm afraid you can't leave the building." One of the police stop me. "Everyone here is being held here until we find the person we're looking for. May I please see some I.D and your room?" She asks.

"I don't have any I.D with me." I say. "I'll show you to my room now." I lead her down the hall and to a room that isn't mine. "I just came down to get a new key, this one doesn't work, see?" I put my actual room key into the door, the light turns red.

"You don't have any bags with you?" The police asks pursing her lips.

"No, I came here for business and didn't think to bring anything with me." I lie. Some other police come down the hallway, nodding at each other as they pass by.

"Okay, well thank you and I will get you a key for your room now." She says.

I slump down against the wall and wait for her to come by and give me the key for the room that isn't even mine. Oh God I hope no one is in there. The police woman hands me the key and waits for me to go in, I walk in quickly, thank her then close the door.

"Alison?" I turn around and see Zayn.

"You scared me!" I shout hugging him in relief. "Didn't Louis text you?"

"Yeah," We let go of each other. "I was a bit too late and if I left the parking lot because of all the police cars I'd probably be one of their main suspects."

"Have you texted or spoken to Harry?" I ask. I have mixed feelings about him; I want him to be taken to prison but I also don't. I don't know what I'd do if he was, I haven't had a normal life even before this. I have absolutely no idea what I'd do; make a whole new life with a new identity? I have no money, that'd be nearly impossible.

"No, I was just about to go over, Lou is here right?" Zayn asks and I nod in reply. Zayn knocks on the door and Harry un-locks the door then opens it.

"You're here." He whispers in my ear, picking me up in a hug.

"I'm here too," Zayn, Louis, Niall and Liam says at the same time. I laugh and shake my head lightly. I walk over to the bed and sit with Liam, Niall and Louis.

"What'd they ask you, Alison?" Harry asks pacing around the room nervously.

"Just for I.D, my room and why I have no bags." I shift around on the bed trying to get comfortable. "I said I had no I.D on me, I showed them Zayn's room accidentally and I was here for business and that is why I have no bags."

"They're probably going to ask us the same things," Liam stands up and follows Harry's pace.

"It'll be suspicious if no one brought their own bags." Harry says. "And no I.D too? They'll know something is wrong."

"You guys have to go eventually." I say, they all give me a dirty look. Liam and Niall brought the bags or something and I will go to McDonald's to throw things out in the bathroom, that way they won't be able to find out about whatever they're trying to hide.

"Ali is right," Niall stands up to and Harry takes his spot on the bed. "I'll go first." He opens the door and walks out of the room, followed by Liam, Zayn and Louis.

"Alison, I have to do this too but I just want you to know--" Harry starts.

"Harry, I promise I will back you up," I holds his hands in mine. "I don't know what I'd do without you. I need you." Harry gently kisses my forehead. "I pomise."

The boys come back in, "Your turn." They all say to Harry.

"You can do this." I tell him. He leaves the room. I don't understand why he is so afraid, he lies all the time it should be easy. He also shoplifts so that should be easy to lie about.

We all sit on the floor watching the t.v.

Harry walks in after about an hour.

"I have some news." Harry looks down, hands behind his back. No one moves.
