Looking from Harry to Liam to my frightened friends and back again my head began to spin. I didnt have much time to make a choice. On one hand I had Harry. I loved him; like really truly, genuinly and honestly loved him whole heartedly. He calmed me down in times of panic, kept me smiling in moments of despair, Harry never let me forget that he loved me and that no matter what he'd do anything to keep us together. Gazing at him now my glossy eyes met with his and I stood there for a moment just looking at him. Watching, watching his hair blow in the breeze, watching his mouth shape to form words but never say anything, watching his hands brush nervously at his sides. He was what truly mattered most to me. The thought of not having Harry scared me.

On the other hand I had my friends. My wonderful suportive friends. I mean Joselyn has been by my side since kindergarten. Without her I would have had no one to keep me sane all these years. And Andy has been nothing but a great friend to both Liam and I. Zayn saved me that day back in the woods when he fought with Harry. And Josh and Louis dont deserve to be punished. They have been everything short of perfect as far as support and advise go. I couldnt bear the thought of  letting Liam take any of these amazing people to some foreign place never to be seen again and isolated from society.

Taking Harry's arm and bringing it up to my lips I gently kissed the palm of his shaky hand and held it to my raging chest. I could barely force my dry mouth to swallow before asking Liam hesitantly,

"What are you going to do with them?" He laughed looking back at the car still parked at an odd angle on the side of the road. Each of my friends sat bound to the seats of the car by ropes sweating, struggling to get free.

"Ella, its a suprise! Thats the fun of the game! So tell me love, have you made your choice? Be wise about this now."

I gulped squeezing my eyes shut for just a moment before glancing at my friends sitting in the trapped car again. Joselyn looked terrified. Her hair stuck to her forehead next to glistening beads of sweat and she thrashed about trying to get free. Josh, Andy, and Louis all three sat there looking helpless and scared. All but Zayn, who looked calm and anything but panicked. The corners of my mouth quirked into a curios frown. What was he up to?

"Answer me Beautiful." Liam prompted taking a step towards Harry and I.

But my gaze was still locked on Zayn. His nonchalant demeanor lead me to believe that he had some sort of solution to this absurd mess of a situation. So, Looking back up at Harry who was smiling down at me, I turned my attention to Liam looking him straight in the eyes before wrapping both hands around Harry's neck and reaching up to kiss him.

"Yes, yes I have. I choose Harry." I spoke confidently.

Both Liam and Harry looked completely taken aback by my hasty choice.

"Ella babe are you sure? You dont have to do this if its not what you truly want." Harry spoke. and even though his words convinced me he would be ok if I changed my mind, his sparkling eyes and rosy cheeks told me he was dependent on me staying with my decision.

"No," I looked from Harry to Liam and then back again. "I made my choice, I'm sure."

ZAYN'S POV

I had to move quickly. While Harry, Ella and Liam were outside sharing a moment, I had cleverly discovered a way to unknot all of all our ropes and set us free. The pointed  side of  the comb I carried around to adjust my hair was strong enough to tear the edge of the rope allowing us to free our selves by moving around so that the end of the rope completely unfurrowed and fell limp at our sides.  While the plan was one hundred percent garunteed to work, it would take time; most likely time that we didnt have.
