LIAM’S POV

Eight days since Ariana was gone. Eight days. I don’t even know how I manage to live. I missed her so much that no words could even describe it.

I looked at the three envelopes still unopened in my hands. Everyone knew now and we were going to do all this together. I handed Louis and Zayn their envelope and kept mine. We had four days left to complete the tasks. Niall agreed to give his guitar because I promised him I’d do anything humanly possible to get it back.

‘’You know mate, you could just give another guitar …’’ Zayn said.

That was a brilliant idea actually.

‘’Zayn, you’re a genius!’’ Niall exclaimed.

One down, four to go

Harry and Ali were sitting on the floor, arms locked. This morning, they announced that they were together. I was so happy for them. They were the perfect couple.

Now today, we would do Zayn’s envelope. He carefully opened it and read the piece of paper. He looked crushed. He did not say a single word and he looked at Louis.

LOUIS’ POV

Zayn looked at me and I immediately knew. I opened my envelope and as soon as I read the painful words that were written, I lost it.

Zayn Malik and Louis Tomlinson

I want you both to publically end your relationships with your girlfriends. On Twitter, on Facebook, everywhere. You may not be seen with them from now on. Insult them, call them names, make people believe that you hate them. I will be watching.

WHAT THE FUCK?

I looked at Eleanor beside me and I started crying. She took the piece of paper and read it, so did Perrie. Now we were all crying. I mean, how could Danielle do that to us?

Later that day, I was alone with El, she was still very upset. I was to, but I tried to be strong.

‘’Eleanor, if we do it it’s for Liam and Ariana. Know that I love you with all my heart and that I always will. You mean the world to me’’.

‘’I know that Lou, and I love you too. We can do it’’

I grabbed my phone and went on Twitter. Tears were falling from my eyes as I typed the worst thing ever: ‘’ Guys, this is really tough to say but unfortunately, Eleanor and I decided to end our relationship today. Lately we were drifting apart and I feel like it’s the best choice for us. From now on, she will no longer be a part of my life’’.

Why do I have to do this? WHY?

ARIANA’S POV

I spent all day talking with Addalynn. She was awesome. She liked the same music I did, the same food, the same places … we were getting along extremely well. However, the subject of her family history never came up. I desperately wanted to know. I wanted to know everything. Her whole life. I figured she wouldn’t want to talk about it so I did not insist. But when I saw her pull a cellphone out, I almost fainted.

‘’YOU HAVE A CELLPHONE?’’  I screamed.

‘’Stop yelling or I’m going to get caught! I stole it back!’’

‘’Okay, I’m sorry’’ I said. I was shaking. This was maybe my chance to get out of this shit whole.

‘’Do you want to make a phone call?’’ she asked me.

‘’Yes I’d love to, if you don’t mind’’ I was excited now.

She handed me her cellphone and I dialed Liam’s number.

LIAM’S POV

Well this has been one of the toughest days I ever had to go through. Now that we revealed the content of four envelopes, the only one left was mine and I feared the worst. Ariana was already kidnapped so what could possibly go wrong now? I was about to open it when my cellphone rang. The caller ID displayed ‘’Addalynn Payne’’. What the hell?

I carefully pressed the answer button.

‘’Hello?’’

‘’Hey Liam, it’s me’’.

‘’ARIANA? WHERE ARE YOU?’’

Oh my fucking God

Oh my fucking God

Oh my fucking God

Oh my fucking God

Okay Liam, breathe.

‘’ I don’t know Liam, I just … I miss you so much!’’ her voice was full of tears, yet it was so beautiful.

‘’ I miss you too baby girl! You don’t have any idea where you are? ‘’

‘’ No … but I’m not in Paris. I think I’m in London. And I hear footsteps all day long’’.

‘’Ariana, I know exactly where you are’’. We’re coming to get you baby!’’

ADDALYN’S POV

Dear Niall,

I know you don’t know me but I’m your biggest fan. I listen to your songs all day long and that’s what keeps me from killing myself. I had a rough life. When I was born, my parents were both killed on the way back from the hospital so I was immediately put in an orphanage. A year later, this guy, Bruce, and his wife, Ellen, adopted me. Ellen died when I was six. I was raised by Bruce and every single day I wished I died. He was hitting me, raping me, torturing me, all the things a normal person would never do. He was alcoholic and a drug addict on top of that. He was the one who sold Liam drugs in an attempt to kill him. But it didn’t work. He’s Liam’s uncle. And he made a deal with Danielle that he would try to break up Ariana and Liam so Danielle could have him again. But Danielle doesn’t want that. She still loves Liam but Bruce gives her money so she can run her dance school and he forces her to do bad things…very bad things. I’m not supposed to tell anyone this but I’m telling it to you. Please Niall, we need your help. You’re the only one that can save us from Bruce.

Love,

Addalynn.

I sealed the envelope and wrote the address Ariana gave me. Of course, she doesn’t know the content of the letter. She doesn’t have to know.  All I want for her is that she can be back in Liam’s arms again. And all I want for me is Niall Horan.
