How It All Fell Into Place.. (Zerrie story)

What Happens When You Walk Home Alone

Michael's P.O.V

Ugh. That little mother fucker. Thinks he can strut around the streets with an injured, but beautiful, Perrie Edwards in his arms. Should have never let that little bitch out of my sight. But guess what? I did. And now she's with a snotty pop-star bloke, who probably couldn't care less. S'got 'publicity stunt' written all over it.

"Ow, fuck!" I yelled as I stumbled to the floor. I looked down and saw a rope. A fucking rope. Who the fuck puts a rope in the middle of the walkway? I had a pretty good idea. I was trying to get up but I suddenly felt a push on my back that sent me back down to the floor.

"What the fu-"

"Shut up, you little cunt!" A voice yelled from behind me.

"What do yo-"

"I said, shut up!" The voice said again. Something covered my eyes and I was being gagged. I couldn't breathe and I struggled to swallow me own spit.

"Stand up." The voice, which I now figured was a male, said. I tried pin-pointing who it was but I couldn't recognize it.

"Vii caghnt!" I tried, meaning to say 'I can't' if you didn't understand that. I felt two pairs of hands grab my shoulders and pull me up. I grunted as they pushed me forward. I looked up to see who was attacking me, but I couldn't really see their faces in the dark.

"Do you know who we are?" The male voice said.

"Possivey, mm novt shoure." I spluttered out.

"Well you're in luck, my friend. You get to find out who we are!" He paused, to make it more dramatic I suppose. Didn't work. "Right after you get that girl, bring her to 174 Evergreen Street. Then, you get a reward."

"Whazzts fa rewarvvd?" I mumbled. I heard shuffling and the I heard the voice standing right next to me.

"You, my friend, get the girl." He said, smirk evident in his voice. He pulled my head back and I winced in pain. "Right after we've finished with her."

My eyes bulged at that sentence and the boy just chuckled.

"Don't worry, we won't do anything bad to little Miss Edwards. Just think of it as, we need money. You have a week." He whispered into my ear then the other two people who held me up dropped me, more like pushed me, onto the ground. My hands were never tied up so I quickly, but carefully, took the cloth out of my mouth and the material off from around my eyes. I looked around to see if the people were still there, but they had disappeared.

Onto the situation at hand, how am I going to get Perrie away from Zayn for less than 5 minutes so I can drag her to 174 Evergreen street? I don't even know where that is! I have a week, so I'll spend tomorrow google mapping the address, then I'll get to work on Wednesday. Plan? I think so! But right now, I need to get home. I get up off the concrete footpath and start walking towards what I hope is my street. I turn down the first road and realize that it's not my street. Bloody hell. I turn around and walk to the corner. I pull out my phone and look at where I am. The little thingy under my clock says that I'm at Curves Road. That's like, a 10 minute walk from my house! Wait, Perrie lives around here doesn't she? Maybe Zayn can spare me for one night so I can sleep. It's not like I'm gonna take Perrie away from him. Yet.

Something wet brought me out of my thoughts. I looked down and saw that I was covered from head to toe in water. What the hell? I looked down the road to see a car speeding off around the corner, driver most likely drunk off his mind because he was shouting, wouldn't be surprised if he was singing, really loudly and totally out of tune. I curled my hands into balls and tried to control my anger and my shivering. 14o C at night and wet from head to toe? Not a good start to my evening. I walked until I reached Perrie's house. Surely Mrs Edwards'll let me in, right? I walked up to the door and knocked loudly. Hopefully someone's still awake. I was just about to turn away when the front door opened.

"Michael? Deary me what happened? Come in! Lets get you dry shall we?" Boy, was I happy that Mrs Edwards opened the door and it was Zayn or someone. I nodded and she rushed me inside, not caring about the looks on Zayn and Perrie's faces. I was thrown into the bathroom with a towel and some clothes. I got into the shower and sorted out the thoughts in my head. I have one week to get Perrie to 174 Evergreen Street which is like a half hour away from here by car. They didn't say what the concequences were, so I don't know what'll happen to me if I refuse to do so. I have to somehow distract Zayn so I can get Perrie out of the house. Gee, I wonder if he'll let her out of his sight. Probably not. I'll have to try.

I got out of the shower and dried myself off before checking out the clothes that I was given. I got a white t-shirt and some track suit pants. I slipped them on and walked out of the bathroom, drying my hair. I wasn't looking where I was going and I bumped into someone. I quickly looked up and saw the exact same girl that I was supposed to take to 174 Evergreen Street.

Little Miss Perrie Edwards.
