Torn Apart (1D Fanfiction)

Chapter 22

LIAM’S POV

‘’What?! Why does she want ME to do that? Why not Louis or … you! It’s YOUR girlfriend after all!’’

‘’I know Harry I know, but you know Danielle and God knows what she can do with Ariana so I’d rather not take any chances. ‘’.

I was starting to tear up. I could not believe that Danielle would ask that. I was afraid of what the other envelopes contained now…

‘’I’ll do it. For you, for Ariana. On one condition: we do all the other challenges first’’ Harry said.

‘’But, Danielle told me to-‘’ I exclaimed.

‘’Screw this Danielle whore and her stupid riles, as long as we complete the five missions I don’t see a problem’’.

‘’I guess you’re right Haz … I’m just .. so scared …

‘’I understand. And I’m here for you Liam’’

He opened his arms and I buried my face in his chest and shed all the tears I have been holding for the past week. All of this was too much for me to handle. At least they were there for me … if you didn’t count that I was still not speaking to Niall …

About Niall … the second envelope was for him. I decided to follow Harry’s condition and I opened the second envelope.

Oh dear. There is no way in hell that-

‘’Hey, what is that? ‘’ Someone asked, peeking behind my back.

Niall.

I gathered all my courage and faced him. Now was the time.

‘’We need to talk, Niall’’.

‘’I know… let’s go in my room’’.

I followed him in his room. Wow, it was a mess in there. I sat on the bed next to him.

‘’Liam, all this has to stop, man.’’

‘’I know Niall … I’m tired of fighting and I’m sorry for all that happened.

‘’I should be the one apologizing to you … ‘’ he said.

‘’You don’t even have to, you can’t help it if you fell in love mate’’. I was surprisingly calm.

‘’How about we make peace, just for a while’’?

‘’I think that would work, yeah’’

‘’Great … because there’s something I need to tell you’’

He looked suddenly worried. I looked him in the eyes. They were a different shade o blue than usual. Darker, madder. Nonetheless, I continued to talk.

‘’…and that’s why I need your help’’.

NIALL’S POV

Woah

After Liam explained all that was going on, he handed me the envelope and left the room. I carefully opened it, wondering what sacrifice I would have to do to save Ariana.

You

Have

Got

To

Fucking

Be

Fucking

Kidding

Me.

There was no way in hell that I was giving away my beloved guitar.

ARIANA’S POV

Three days. It had been three days. The only thing I had to eat was bread and water. I felt like a real prisoner. Bruce returned to the room the other day with my clothes and he didn’t do anything this time. I was grateful for that, at least. I had nothing to do here. Being a hostage sucks.

One day, I’d say about a week since I was brought here, I heard a girl scream. It was followed by heavy footsteps and a body was thrown on the floor about five feet from where I stood. I was speechless. They kidnapped another one???

I stood up and made my way to the mattress. A girl, around 16, laid there, in tears. I grabbed her hands and helped her sit down. She had long ginger hair, and big blue eyes. She looked terrified.

‘’Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you’’ I said in a calming tone.

She looked at me with her eyes full of fear and gave me a small smile.

‘’My name is Addalynn, she said.

She had a beautiful voice. She must be an amazing signer.

‘’ I’m Ariana’’, I simply told her.

‘For how long have you been there?’’ she asked.

‘’I don’t know, like a week’’.

‘’I’ve been there for like seventeen years!’’ she exclaimed, tears in her eyes.

‘’Wow.’’ I was shocked. was she born here?

‘’Do you .... live here?'' I asked her.

‘’Yeah .. it's complicated actually. This guy, Bruce, he's a criminal. He forces Danielle to do anything he wants. He's Liam's uncle actually. Liam doesn't know I exist.

''What kind of sick joke is this anyways?''

‘’It’s a long story’’.

ALI’S POV

‘’Harry, what’s wrong? You look upset’’ I asked the British boy. We were alone now, Zayn, Perrie, Louis and Eleanor were out shopping, and Niall and Liam were in Niall’s bedroom. I sat down on the couch beside Harry and rested my head on his chest.

‘’There are a lot of things going on recently and I don’t know what to do anymore’’ he said.

‘’Like what?’’ I replied.

‘’Like the fact that I have to shave my head for your sister’’

I was in shock. I can’t believe that Danielle would ask such a thing.

‘’And the fact that I’m madly in love with you despite what I told you’’.

Did I hear right? Did Harry fucking Styles just admit that he loved me? Oh my God.

Okay Ali, breathe.

Calm down now.

‘’Well I never stopped loving you either’’ I whispered in his ear.

I lift my head up a little and looked him in his beautiful eyes. I bit my lower lip and leaned closer to his face, until our nose touched, and our lips.

It was the best feeling in the world.

DANIELLE’S POV

‘’No! Don’t make me do that! Please!’’

‘’But darling, it was part of the arrangement, you agreed to do whatever I said’’

‘’Yeah, I know …. But I don’t want to do THAT … I know it’ll crush him’’

‘’You want the money baby, do as I said’’.

I look back at the piece of paper before putting it reluctantly in the envelope. I did not want this at all, even if Liam did hurt me. No one could ask someone to do that, not even to your worst enemy.
