Liam’s POV ‽

The rest of the day was spent watching David on the phone and tormenting Niall and the child who I found out was called Sebastian. Sebastian is missing from a county called Derby which is near Wolverhampton. I couldn’t help but feel sorry for Sebastian, being so young and all.

The next day is just as boring as the last. Except we’re another day closer to getting Niall back.  This time next week, we will be sat down together on the sofa, cuddling and watching a kids movie while throwing popcorn at each other. Cheesy? Yep. But it’s my kind of love.

I didn’t bother going school even though I have my GCSE’s coming up. I know I’ve failed them already. There’s no point in trying now anyway. I just want to get out of the country and find some place nice and quiet to live. Maybe a small cottage in Holland. Or a house in the outskirts of Australia.

What am I thinking?!

This isn’t ever going to happen. I know David’s up to something. He’s probably thinking about moving soon, away from London and everybody else. Even me. Urgh. This is depressing. I should just go and get Niall myself right now. It’s a lot easier.

But then again, I have to obey what the police say. It’s basically the law. And I don’t really want to break the law at my age. What would my mum think?

I get up out of my bed and drag myself downstairs to find some food and to wash. After that was done, I go outside and just sit. Not very interesting, I know. But this is my life. I can do what I want with it.

I check my phone and see I have 7 messages from some people.

From Loubear:

You okay? Why aren’t you at school? Stop worrying about Niall, he’s fine! .-.

Thanks Lou. I reply back to him just saying I wasn’t feeling well. The next two were from Louis as well. Just asking me to reply.

From Hazzza! :) :

The head’s pissed at you for not coming in .-. what a bitch

I hate her. She’s not nice at all. I reply with a ‘haha’ and look at my other texts and find out that Zayn’s coming over at lunch because he hates school. I don’t blame him. It was an hour till lunch so I spent my time being bored and watched the UK Hot 40. It wasn’t until the final 10 did Zayn knock on the door.

I put on a smile before answering it. “Hey Zayn!” I say.

“Hey Liam!” He mocked me. I roll my eyes and poke my tongue out at him. “So childish. Why weren’t you in? Honestly. You were doing really well yesterday!”

“I don’t like the constant stares and whispers about me that are so obvious, Anyway, what’s the point?” I ask shrugging. Zayn sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

“The point is,” he took a breath, “school isn’t the same without you. Everybody misses you so much. You were the heart of the school, motivating people and helping them with their problems. And now it’s all stopped. Please, come back tomorrow.” He begged. I looked down at my feet, ashamed of what I’ve let happen.

“I…I can’t. When Niall is back, I will go back. We should be getting him back in 2 days max. then all the drama can stop. Everything will be back to normal.” I say confidently.

“You sure?” Zayn asks.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” I raise an eyebrow at him. He looked panicked for a second.
