Fine Lines and Second Chances (a Niall Horan fan-fic)

Chapter 15 - Landed

*Jade's POV*

The plane ride was uneventful. AtariLynn just sat there looking out the window the entire time. I was wondering about everything. Where were we going? Who were we going to be with? What was going to happen? I couldn't stop the questions storming in my mind. I tried to sleep some of the way but I just couldn't wind down. The plane ride seemed like it was 15 hours rather than the 7 that it was. I wanted to scream out of boredom. I tried to start conversations with Atari but she would just glare at me and then turn back to the window. I think she was dying inside but she is too strong to show it. I ended up just being random. I started singing random songs, shouting random phrases, and being pretty...out there. A few people actually told me rather unkindly to stop but I just kept on going. After a while being random, I finally went to sleep for the rest of the ride. AtariLynn woke me up by shaking my shoulder and telling me that we had landed. She looked emotioinally and physically drained. I felt bad for her. I slowly got up and walked out of the plane and into the airport. There was barely anyone in the building, so it was easy to find the exit. A cab was waiting to take us to...wherever we were going. Atari loaded our stuff into the back quietly while I sat down in the back seat. I asked the driver where we were headed but he didn't respond. Atari crawled into the seat next to me. She sighed and leaned against the door and dozed off. I woke her up when we arrived at the... I had no clue where we were at. It was either a cancer center or an insane asylum. I didn't even bother to ask where we were. We unloaded our stuff and walked down the half mile drive-way and into the massive, old, ivy-covered building and up to the check in desk.

*AtariLynn's POV*

I was really messed up on the plane. All the emotions came flooding in on me. It was extremely difficult to hide them. I looked out the window and let my thoughts roam. Jade kept trying to talk to me and it was quite annoying so I just glared at her and she eventually stopped. It was quiet and peaceful until Jade started being random. I had to mentally hold myself back from slapping her because it was so disturbing. I was overly happy when she finally went to sleep. My mind kept wondering back to the great times that I had had with my friends at the hospital.

I woke up to Zayn singing to me. I had completely forgotten that it was my birthday until I saw the balloons, presents, and CAKE!!! He was singing happy birthday. I started to blush at the tought of someone caring enough to do this. No one had done this since...I pushed the memory out because I didn't want to cry. He hugged me and gave me a small box. I quickly opened it and picked up the small neclace that layed in it. I was crying and smiling and laughing. I put it on and hugged him and didn't stop thanking him. I never took it off. We enjoyed the cake and we had a private little party, just us two. He was truly my brother. He even had all my friends face-time me since they couldn't come. It was great. I walked around with him and we pretty much played games all day. I had completely forgotten about all my troubles for one day and just enjoyed my life.

I had been holding my neclace through this flashback. I felt the tears rolling softly down my face and I quickly wiped them away before they could be seen. At that moment, the pilot announced that we would be landing soon. I composed my self and got everything together. When we landed at the airort and were getting out, I woke Jade up. I took our stuff through the empty airport and to the cab outside that had been promised. I got in after Jade and we road silently to the facility that we were going to be living in. I didn't know exactly what it was but I had a pretty good idea. I thought it was a combo of a hospital and insane-asylum. I got our stuff out of the back and started the painful half-mile walk to the building. I had been told that we would get new phones, new identities, and complete security (the hidden building). When we finally reached the doors, I gave Jade her stuff and we walked in. I led and went straight up to the check in desk. We had been given the privilege to come up with our own names so that made it a little easier.

"Hi, um..I'm wanting to check-in?" it came out more of a question than anything, but I tried.

"Are you new?" the old, unhappy receptionist asked.

"Yes ma'am. I'm Aly Stevens and this is my sister Jennifer Collins," I said trying to sound convincing.

"Oh yes, you will be in suite 305. Third floor, left wing, fifth room on the right." she said scanning her computer screen.

"Thank you ma'am," I said before I picked my stuff up again. As I was walking out of the lobby, I couldn't believe who I saw sitting in the little wiating area. It was the guy that I had almost done 'it' with a few days ago. I couldn't freaking think straighgt. I ran to the elavator and dashed into mine and 'Jennifer's' room. I threw my stuff onto the floor and shut the door. I wasn't even sure that he had seen me but I didn't want to chance it. Jade came into the room with the info and keys that I had left on the lady's desk. She looked at me like I was some loony or something. I explained everything and she laughed at me. I guess it was payback for the plane but it was still rude. I put my stuff up and went to bed early, jet lag had really taken its toll on me. Jade put her stuff up but then she sat by the window and looked at the stars and the moon. I could tell that she was missing her Liam. I brushed it away though, trying my hardest to forget it and put it all behind me, but I knew it would never happen. Sleep took me over quickly and I slept good and deep. I didn't want to be bothered right after landing, I had to get back on my feet. I escaped the easiest way I knew how and I wasn't going to be interrupted either. I was already fed up with this new place and wanted to go back to my big brother and just be happy. I didn't know where I was at and I wanted to leave, but I had to deal with it. UGH!!! I woke up to a startling sound. Yet again Jade had gone missing, she was known for that. This time though, was different. Her iPod was on and the song was Map by Adam Lambert, it was one of our fave songs. She never left it on...actually, it never left her hand or pocket. I got up and went to get it. There was a note laying on it. 

"Jade is with us until you bring us your pretty little self. Louis will be in charge if her and I will wait for you to show up begging for me. I will call you and tell you where and when to meet up. See you soon lover! ;) 

- Harry and Louis 

Man I was pissed! Ok actually, I was more than pissed. I had let them take her, again! I thought that they had been caught but obviously, the hadn't! I wanted to go find her but I had to wait for the instructions, and I'm not the most patient person ever.
