The Promise

Chapter 13

-Melody-

As I sit in the dark, my thoughts keep shifting toward Harry. Why would he say those things? Does he really regret saving me that night? I jump when I hear the lock on the door click. I shield my eyes when it opens. I keep hoping it's Harry, but it's just my uncle Ryan. He closes the door, and walks toward me with a short metal pole and a grin.

-Harry-

Traffic. I'm stuck in traffic at the worst time possible. I turn on the radio and flip through it.

"I'm here at the studio of the X-Factor where One Direction is getting ready to perform." What? I turn it up louder. "It seems that one of the members is gone."

"We have not a clue where he's gone, but we guess it was important," Liam says. "We may have to perform without him, but we'll still try our best with or without him." They're gonna have to do without me. Finally, after what seems like hours, the cars in front of me start moving at a somewhat fast pace. I weave through the other cars, earning myself some honks. I pull into Melody's neighborhood, and look for her house. When I find it, I hear the screams from the back garden. I turn off the car, and jump out. I take out my phone and call the police.

"I need an ambulance and the police right now!" I hang  up the phone, and go over the fence into the back garden. I rush into the shed where Ryan is beating her with a small pole.

"Uncle Ryan stop! Please!" she cries. I quietly come up behind him, and jump on his back. Melody squeals and goes into the corner.

"You'll regret that, boy," Ryan snarls. He slips a gun off his belt and aims it at my torso. I move before he pulls the trigger, and he ends up hitting the wall. He aims the gun somewhere else, and shoots. I don't know why, until I hear Melody's screams.

-Liam-

When we finished our performance, the worrying started. Worrying about Harry, about Melody, and about our place in the competition.

"What if they never come back? What if he kills Melody and Harry?" Niall has been pacing and talking to himself for an hour.

"Niall, they're gonna be fine!" A knock at the door, and Simon is in the room.

"Where is Miss Griffin?" he asks.

"Erm...we have reason to believe she's been kidnapped. That's why Harry was gone, he went to save her," I say.

"Where are they?"

"I'm not sure sir, somewhere in Cheshire probably." He thinks for a moment, and looks at his clipboard.

"I'm going to have to disqualify Miss Griffin then," he says, writing something on the paper.

"No! Give her a chance! Once she gets back, just give her a chance Simon!" Niall cries. Once she gets back. More like if she gets back considering the situation.

"Mr. Horan, I'm sorry, it's not within my power to do that. I'd have to have all of the judges take a vote to give her a second chance."

"Then do that! She deserves to have a chance in this competition," Zayn says. Simon is about to talk again, when his phone rings. He answers it, and we listen to the one sided conversation. When he hangs up, we wait to hear what he has to say.

"That was the police. It seems that Harry and Melody have both been taken to the hospital. Harry got away with minor injuries, but Melody is in critical condition."

"Well let's not just stand here! Let's get down to the hospital!" Louis shouts, heading toward the door. We all pile into Simon's car, and go to the hospital. I hope Melody's alright.

-:-:-:-:-:-

Uh-oh! So Melody is in critical condition eh? I wonder what's gonna happen with that. I hope you enjoyed this chapter, vote, please leave a comment, and fan me if you haven't already! I follow back! Love you guys!
