Niall’s P.O.V

All of us heard it. Every word. The entire conversation between Eleanor and Louis. The worst part? Maya heard it, too.

As soon as I saw her take off, I was running out of the tour bus after her. But man was she fast. It didn’t take very long for me to lose sight of her, but I kept searching. I wasn’t going to let her wander around and I sure as hell wasn’t going to let her just stay out here. It’s freezing!

“Maya!” I screamed. There was no reply back. The only response I got was stares from the people around me but I didn’t care. All I cared about was finding Maya.

Ever since I met Maya I knew that there would be problems with her and Eleanor. Don’t get me wrong, I love Eleanor. She’s amazing and perfect for Louis. She’s definitely not one of those girls to be clingy. But I knew that Maya liked Louis so there would clearly be some issues. And I guess something changed with Eleanor so now that just adds to it. Yippee.

“Maya!” I screamed again. Once again, all I got were stares from the people around me. There was a beep behind me and I quickly spun around to find Harry pulling up in his car next to me.

Harry rolled the window down and said, “Get in, we’re looking for Louis and Maya.” I climbed into the back of the car and Liam, Zayn, Harry, and I set off to find the two.

“What happened to Louis?” I asked.

“He took off after Maya right after you did,” Liam informed me.

“What about Eleanor?” I spoke her name with disgust. I still can’t believe she said that to Maya. What kind of person does that?

“She got pissed when Louis took off so she went home,” Liam replied.

“Thank God,” Zayn muttered. We drove on in silence for a while; just looking around trying to find either Louis or Maya. It took a while, but at some point we saw the familiar Doncaster boy wandering around.

“Louis!” I yelled out the window. His head swiveled around at his name being called. Harry pulled over and let Louis join us in the car.

“Have you seen Maya?” Louis asked as soon as he got into the car.

“If we saw her, she would be here,” Harry retorted. Louis just rolled his eyes and looked out the window; searching for Maya.

Harry’s P.O.V

I didn’t really mean to snap at Louis. It’s just...this whole situation is frustrating. I have no idea why Eleanor’s suddenly being a complete b*tch. She’s never once been like that before in the entire time that I’ve known her. She’s one of the most sweetest and caring people I’ve ever met.

Something must’ve happened. The Eleanor I know wouldn’t be like this. Something happened and I’m going to find out what.

“Have any of you tried to call her?” Louis wondered after a minute of silence.

“Her phone was on the table by the couch,” I shook my head. He sighed and slumped in his seat.

“Don’t worry, Lou. We’ll find her,” Liam assured him. He just gave a small smile and turned to look out the window again. I gave a little yawn and my eyes drooped a little.

“Harry, are you okay to drive? Do you want me to instead?” Louis offered. I didn’t answer, I just stopped the car and got out. Louis switched places with me and we resumed driving around. 

It’s by at least two hours of us looking for her. Where could she possibly be? We’ve looked everywhere. I groaned and slumped down.

“Lads, it’s been four hours. We’ve looked basically everywhere we can,” Zayn started but I stopped him.

“No, Zayn. We’re not just leaving her out there. We’re going to find her tonight,” I told him. He put his hands up in surrender and I just turned back to the window.

“What time is it?” I asked.

“7:19,” Liam spoke. Wait, so it’s already been four hours since she ran off? Louis and Maya slept in all the way till three so yeah, I guess it’s been four hours.

“Where could she be?” I exclaimed. No one answered me and I groaned again. This is killing me. What if something happened to her. Maybe she got hurt, or kidnapped.

Different scenarios flooded my mind; all bad and I couldn’t stop the tears that pooled up in my eyes at the thought of Maya gone or hurt. A silent tear travelled down my face as we continued on looking for her.

Louis’ P.O.V

I can’t help but blame myself for all of this. It is my fault. Maybe if I warned both Maya and Eleanor about the other, they could’ve gotten used to the idea earlier. But no, I just had to wait until now. Now Maya’s gone and we’re searching around for her while Eleanor is sitting at home probably planning on how she can murder Maya. Or maybe me.

My thoughts were scattered as I drove down the streets searching for the brown haired girl. I thought I saw her over on my left and I immediately perked up. I didn’t slow down my speed, I just watched the girl.

By the time I realized it wasn’t her, everything was over. It was like slow motion. The yelling, the screaming, the impact.

“Louis!”

“Stop!”

“Look out, Louis!”

“There’s a girl there!” All of the boys yelled out different things but it was too late. I already hit her. I stamped on the breaks seconds after the hit. 

“You hit her,” Liam whispered. I can’t believe I just hit some random girl with my car. Going as fast as we could, we unbuckled and jumped out of the car to gather around the girl that was now laying on the road.

When I got to her I fell to my knees and rolled her over from her stomach to her back. There was a group of gasps behind me and tears weld up in my eyes.

“Louis...” Zayn started.

“You just...” Liam continued.

“Hit...” Niall whispered.

“Maya,” Harry and I finished at the same time.
