Captured (One Direction Fanfic)

Chapter 20

*Louis's P.O.V*

I moved locations, now sitting on the couch, surrounded by Niall, Liam, Harry and Zayn. They had the news on, and were intently watching for any signs of a missing person, also known as, Marie.

I wasn't interested in what the monotone news reporters had to say, all I could think about was the kiss. The stupid kiss.

Why would I do that? Why would I go against my conscious? Why would I ruin everything just to kiss her? Why couldn't I restrain myself? And why am I even bothering to ask myself 'why?' I'm the fool who kissed her in the first place!

I didn't even think! Why am I so stupid? Ugh, again with the 'why.'

"Boys, I think we should bring Marie down here and discuss some ground rules with her being bait now," I suddenly said, catching a couple of the boys by surprise.

"So she agreed to do it?!" Zayn asked.

"Well...not exactly. We didn't really end on good terms," I hesitantly mumbled.

The boys directed their attention towards Niall as he snorted. He was acting as if he knew what I was talking about. He didn't though, right? He better not...

I glared at him, silently telling him to shut up. Once he looked away uninterested, I got frustrated.

"So someone bring her down!" I ordered.

"I will," Harry volunteered.

"Harry, you tried to rape her last night, I do not think she enjoys your company," I stated.

"I'll do it then," Liam offered.

"You're too nice Liam, I don't know if I trust you," I said, tilting my head to the side, staring into his eyes. He looked like a helpless child, if you looked at him closely.

He rolled his eyes in a dismissive way, but did not talk back.

"Me?" Zayn questioned.

"You locked her in her room in the first place. Did you see how angry she was at you?" I retorted.

"So then I'm the only one, huh?" Niall realized.

"I guess so. So get to it!" I demanded.

Niall pushed himself off the couch and disappeared up the stairs without a reply. I finally heard two sets of feet make their way downstairs, and two bodies plop themselves into the couch across from mine. I couldn't help but note that Marie looked less than pleased.

"Listen, we just need to set a few things straight, because-" I was cut off by my ringing cell phone in my back pocket.

*Marie's P.O.V*

So Louis keeps his phone on him, I recognized, as his phone exploded with noise from his pocket. He took his phone out in the open and checked the caller ID.

"It's Simon. I need everyone to be silent, and I'll put it on speaker. Okay?" He asked, staring directly at me.

I guess he doesn't trust me to be quiet. Good. Instead of saying this, I rolled my eyes, but nodded my head.

"Hello?" He spoke into the phone, putting his finger to his lips to symbolize we had to be quiet. He literally just told us to be quiet. I don't have amnesia, I remember what he said...

"Ah, Louis! I assume you completed this morning's mission successfully?" Simon's accent filled the room.

"Of course. You can expect nothing less from perfection," Louis spoke confidently.

"Very good. Update on Marie Summers?" Simon questioned.

I looked up at the mention of my name. I made eye contact with Louis, and he once again motioned for me to stay quiet.
