Taken by One Direction

Chapter 12: Bored

I waited for about three hours until I decided to get up. Liam was still on his laptop after he caught me this morning. I don't know what he was doing on there, though. Niall was up eating and Louis was busy playing some game on his iPhone. The other two were still sound asleep.

I slipped quietly out of Liam's bed and to the front of the bus, where they were all sitting. I sat in the booth across from Liam and next to Louis. I think I felt most comfortable with these two. I mean, Louis had never hurt me or made me feel uncomfortable at all. Liam, after this morning, would never hurt me again. For some reason, I believed him.

I was still scared that I would piss Niall off and he would hurt me. I knew for a fact that if I pissed him off, Zayn WOULD hurt me. Harry, although I felt better around him, was pretty much going to rape me tonight.

Still, I could be a little more of myself when Liam and Louis were around to protect me. I knew even Harry would stand up for it, if it came to it. I decided to hide my fear and be confident, as long as I wasn't alone with Zayn and Niall. If one of the other boys were with me, I would be a little fiend. I wouldn't follow their rules seriously. I made up my own rules.

THEIR rules:

1. If I run away, they get to punish me however they see fit.

2. I have to respect them! No cursing, no attitude.

3. I do what they say whenever they want.

4. I can NEVER be out of their sight except in the bathroom or if they have to go somewhere.

5. I have to try to enjoy myself. They aren't bad people

MY version of the rules:

1. If I run away, I get the crap beaten out of. That's only if I get caught.

2. I can cuss and disrespect them all I want. This was Liam's rule and he just promised not to hurt me if I don't try to run away. I'm sure he'll threaten me if I do this, though, so I would have to be careful. Also, no pissing off Niall or Zayn.

3. I don't listen to what they say unless Liam tells me to do it; he seems like the leader, here.

4. Get out of their sight as much as possible, but always come back so that you can earn their trust. Point out opportunities of escape, but don't take them, yet...

5. Fool these motherfuckers into thinking I am enjoying myself. They are bad people.

That concludes it, pretty much.

I pick up the gossip magazine that I had pretended to read yesterday and actually start to read it. We sit there in silence for a little bit, but then I notice a picture of a familiar looking group of guys.

"Hey! Look here! There's a picture of you guys in this magazine!" I announce, proud that I found it. No one looks up from what they are doing.

"Oh my god. There's a picture of ME in here!" I gasp in a lie. Both Liam and Louis snap their heads up.

"What?!" Liam jumps towards the magazine, but Louis grabs it faster.

"How did the paps find out about- wait. Where's your picture?" Louis looked at me frustrated and handed the magazine over to Liam.

"I'm not in there, relax!" I giggle at their nervousness. Both of them look up with fury in their eyes.

"THEN WHY DID YOU SAY YOU WERE?!" Liam shouted. I was trembling on the inside, but I knew I wouldn't be hurt. Liam had promised.

"I don't like to be ignored." I retort with a cocky attitude. Liam rolls his eyes and huffs.

"Nearly gave me a bloody heart attack!" Louis scolded. I put on a confident exterior and shrugged. Louis shook his head at me and returned to the game on his phone.

"Never again," Liam warned me before returning to his laptop.

"Then don't ignore me." I hiss back at him. He raises his eyebrows at my boldness and shoots me a warning look, but other than that he makes no move to get me in trouble.

Louis has already moved on from the incident as is playing intently on his phone, again. I sighed and read the small article in the magazine on the boys. It was about how they went out to talk to their fans. 'What nice guys!' the magazine brags. I snorted at this. Nice guys my ass.

"What's on your schedule today?" I asked after the silent moments had gotten to me. Liam looked up at me over his laptop.

"We are doing some fittings today." He informed me matter-of-factly. I nodded.

"But I thought that Marcia wasn't in today." Louis spoke to Liam, slipping his phone in his pocket.

"Yeah, but her assistant is. She'll be doing our fittings." Liam explained. I felt alienated from the conversation, but I remained at the table.

"So I guess we'll have to go in groups. We wouldn't want to overwhelm the assistant." Liam added in. Louis nodded.

"So then we won't have to tie you up, babe." Louis turned to me. I flashed a sarcastic smile.

"Oh and just when I was beginning to like it." Louis returned my smile.

"Keep it up, babe, and I'm sure we could figure something out." He winked at me. I rolled my eyes and slid out of the booth, bumping right into Niall.

"Oh my god, I am so sorry!" I stutter as I back away from him.

"Don't worry about it. No blood no foul." He flashed me a cute smile showing off teeth with braces. I shot him back a nervous smile and hurried to the back of the bus. Why wasn't he freaking out? Niall has the weirdest anger management.

I felt like lying down, but I had no bed to bunk on. I let out a sigh as I sneak over to Louis's bag and search for my iPod. I was so bored; the least I could do was try to calm myself with some music.

"Morning, love." A husky voice whispered behind me. I spun around to see Harry staring down at me.

"Er, hello." I respond as I put my hands behind my back to hide the iPod.

"What have you got there?" He asked me, raising his eyebrows.

"Did you just wake up?" I change the subject. He shakes his head at me and grabs my shoulder. He quickly spins me around to see what I was holding.

"An iPod?" He asks incredulously as he takes the iPod from me.

"Not any iPod, MY iPod." I clarify as I reach to take it back. He holds it up high above his head. My height has proved to be a disadvantage yet again.

"HARRY!" I whined. He just smirks down at me and tugs me towards the front of the bus. I reluctantly follow, trying to grab the iPod as we went. Harry was too quick for me.

"Well, we need to go get fitted. Who wants to stay here with Katie and sleeping beauty?" Liam asks as we come close to him and Louis.

"I can!" Niall raises his hand like school boy. I wince internally.

"Wait, Zayn is sleeping beauty, right?" Louis clarifies. Liam nods.

Louis, Harry and Liam start gathering their stuff together to leave. I follow Lou around the whole time, like a puppy dog.

They were going to leave me. Harry, Liam and Louis were going to leave me alone with the two I feared most out of everyone. I was going to be left alone with Zayn and Niall.

I think I died inside.
