Got A Secret, Can You Keep It?

Paying The Price

*2 Weeks Later*

-Harry's P.O.V-

I walked down the hallway, and to the empty classroom. I had on a grey shirt, with my dark skinny jeans.

It's been two weeks. Two weeks of no J texts and threats, two weeks of hanging out, and trying to figure this out. We're all on edge from the last text. At the sound of a knock, we'd jump. Just this morning, Gemma, my older sister, was almost hit by a car! I have a bad feeling about this, and I need to tell the others.

I opened the classroom door, to see Everyone except Zayn was in here. I closed the door, and dumped my bag on the floor, and sat down on a desk.

"Rough morning?" Louis chuckled. I playfully glared at him.

"I think J meant that one of our family members will pay." I said, honestly. Niall started choking on his water, and Liam patted his back.

"Think about it! Niall, your Mum got fired from her job. Liam, Ruth got kicked out of her apartment. Louis, Fizzy was cut off the softball team. And this morning Gemma was almost hit by a car!" I exclaimed. Everyone paled.

"If you're right, that means mine and Zayn's family is next." Ali said. Louis put an arm around her shoulders.

"Don't worry, Ali Bear. We'll be there for you and Zayn." He said. I brought one of my knees up to my chest and laid my arm over my knee.

"I just hope no one is going to die." Niall said. We all agreed.

"Maybe I should skip school and stay with my family?" Ali suggested. I shook my head.

"Imagine what Wayne would do." I said. Everyobe agreed.

"If we're lucky enough, he'll get hurt." Niall said. Ali shook her head.

"I don't like the man but my Mum does. I wouldn't risk him getting kill and her killing herself for him." She said honestly. Suddenly the bell for first period rang. I stood up and grabbed my bag. We all bid our goodbyes and went our separate ways.

-Liam's P.O.V-

I swung my book bag over my shoulder as the last bell rang, meaning we could go home. I walked out of the classroom, and was immediately met by Niall. "Hey, mate." I said.

"Hey, was Zayn here at all?" He asked. I shook my head and he sighed.

"That can't be good." He said. I agreed.

We walked out of the school and down the sidewalk. We both walked the same way home. We walked in a comfortable silence to our flats. Usually Zayn walks with us because his flat is this way too. Suddenly an ambulance and police car sped past us. Niall and I shared a worried look, then we started running after the ambulance and police car. I stopped when I saw lots of people gathered around the street, in front of Zayn's flat. I grabbed Niall wrist and we shoved through the crowd. Zayn ran out of his flat.

"Zayn!" Niall examined, wrapping him in a hug.

"Why weren't you at school today? What happened?" I asked, worried. Right after I said that, they rolled out Zayn's Mum on a gurney.

"Oh, Zayn." I said and pulled him in a hug.

"She just collapsed while going to help Safaa because she was sick." He said, tears in his eyes.

"Zayn!" Ali said, breaking through the crowd and running to us. She wrapped him in a hug.

"I'm really sorry about your Mum." She said, and pulled away.

"Thanks, Ali. Can you all go to the hospital with my Mum? I have to watch my sisters." He said, wiping his eyes.

"No, Zayn, you go. I'll watch them." Ali said.

"Really?" He asked hopefully.

"Of course. I'll call you if I have any trouble." She said.

"Thank you so much. Are you coming, Liam and Niall?" He asked. Niall nodded. I pulled out my phone.

"I'm going to text Harry and Louis." I said. I sent a quick text to Harry.

'S.O.S Come to the hospital A.S.A.P.'

I sent the same one to Louis, then shoved my phone in my pocket. "Okay, let's go." I said, Niall, Zayn, and I got into Zayn's car, while Ali walked in his flat.

-Louis' P.O.V-

I sat in the little, black plastic chair in Zayn's Mum's hospital room. Harry and Liam we're beside me, Niall was beside Harry, and Zayn sat next to his Mum's bed. Zayn's Mum was in a coma now. Zayn told us she had fallen when taking care of Safaa, his sick sister. We sat in a comfortable silence. I couldn't stand it.

"I know we all know J had something to do with this." I said.

"Don't." Zayn said.

"In all of our family's, except for Ali's, one of our family members were hurt. Fizzy, Maura, Ruth, Gemma, and now your Mum, Zayn. This wasn't an accident, J is out for our families too." I finished. Everyone had the same look on their faces. Fear.

"I'm calling Ali and telling her she can go home." Zayn said and grabbed his phone.

"Put it on speaker!" Niall said. He nodded and dialed her number then put it on speaker.

"Hello?"

"Hey Ali. Are you still at my flat?" Zayn asked.

"Nope. Your Dad came home early and sent me back. I'm at my flat right now."

"Okay. Just wanted to call and check up on you."

"Okay. I have to go, Amber is making me cook dinner." She hung up after that.
