A/n Okay guys I know I took forever and on top of that this is kinda a boring chapter in my opinion but I promise next chapter will be filled with drama and it will be out before Friday.

-------------------------------------------------------

"Where are you going?" Harry voice emerged from behind us making Niall and I jump a little. We turned around to see a fresh out the shower looking Harry.

"I think I know where Scarlett is. So we're going to go find her" I said walking closer to him. He looked at me and then at Niall.

"We'll Im not letting you go anywhere by yourself with him I'm coming" his tone was harsh almost like he was worried.

"Harry please right now I can't risk anything happening to you too" I grabbed his hand trying to calm him down. He looked back at me and I could feel him relax as he let out a sigh.

"Fine but please call me often so I know your safe"

"Of course" Harry pulled me into his embrace. I felt a bit awkward because I could feel Niall hot stare on us.

"Come on Zoe" Niall called out from the door.

I pulled away from Harry and jogged towards my purses on the kitchen counter before heading out the door. Niall and I walked to his car as fast as possible and drove away. Niall was going top speed out the road If I was in a normal state of mind I would tell him to slow down but right now I could function properly. My mind was racing and I was still a little unsure of what exactly was going on.

"Niall, what exactly are we doing"

"We are going to get our daughter back but I have to stop some where first before we leave"

I didn't ask anything else the whole ride there. About 5 minutes into the car ride my phone rang.

It was my mother... Oh great *note the sarcasm*

"Hello"

"Zoella darling don't forget that tomorrow is the fitting for your dress and then Sunday is the wedding"

Oh shit I totally forgot that we'll I'm getting married on Sunday which is like 2 day from now.

"ZOELLA ELIZABETH! are you listening to me" my mother screamed through the phone snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Ugh yes mother I heard " I was so annoyed with her I have more important issue that a stupid dress to deal with.

"Don't use that tone with me and be punctual. I know how you could be" with that she hung up the phone.

I grabbed my phone and threw it as hard as I could to the floor. Letting out a huge grunt.

"Who was that?" Niall asked

"My mother but is not important"

Niall nodded in understandment . It wasn't long before all of a sudden Niall stopped the car in front of this huge black metal gate. He lowered his side window and pressed some numbers into a key pad that seemed to control the gate. Moments later the gate started to slowly open. Revealing a gigantic house with a fountain in the middle of the circular drive way. Niall pulled up to the front of the house and told me to wait in the car.

"No way I'm coming with you" I reached for my door but before I could open it Niall set the child lock with his key. I turned to look at him put he was already out of the car. I watched as he jogged up the step of the house and knock on the door. He turned back to look at me and gave me a wink. I threw myself back onto the car and crossed my arms in front of me. I couldn't believe he locked me in here. The door opened and I leaned forward a bit to see how opened the door but it was no use and Niall disappeared into the house. At this point the sun was setting and it was staring to get really dark. Being in this car by myself made me very uneasy. It felt like forever while I waited for Niall to return. After what felt like eternity he come back out the house with two black duffle bags. I watch as he opens the back door and throws them in the back seat before climbing into the drivers seat.

"what is that" I ask as he starts up the car.

"Just what we need to get our baby back" he said but didn't look at me.

I didn't say anything else. Niall was acting all weird. Out of character even he usually doesn't keep me at far like this. The car ride from the house to the air port wasn't too long. But then I watch as Niall was passing the turn to go into the airport.

"Niall, I think you missed the turn" I asked a little confused

"No I didn't" Niall said as he pulled into a a lot next to a giant metal building. He parked the car and went to grab the duffle bags. I hopped out of the car an followed him as he made his way around the building. As I finally came into full view of what we were doing here. He got us a privet jet. I let out a grasp that I hadn't even noticed left my mouth until Niall stop and turned to me.

"Are you okay"

"I didn't know we would be taking a private jet"

"We'll I didn't want us to have to deal with the whole air port security and other people so ...."

" o-okay"

"Zoe trust me its safe c'mon" Niall wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me towards the stairs of the jet.as we got closer to the jet there was a man waiting for us by the stairs.

"Hello mr. Horan" his very proper elder gentlemen voice echoed through my ears.

"Hello frank nice to see you again" Niall dropped his arm from my waist and shook the mans hand. He smiled at Niall and then turned to look and me.

"Like wise and is this mrs. Horan" Niall and I looked at each other with wide eyes before looking back at frank.

"No no no no no she just my ... well we're" Niall started mumbling and I just didn't wanna see him

"We're just friends. I'm zoey" I smile at frank before glancing over at Niall. He face was less than happy. I knew he was only smiling to not let his true feeling show.

"We'll ms. Zoey it's very nice to meet you" frank took my hand and kissed it. He helped me up the stairs and into the jet. I was still a little nervous about flying but the inside of the jet didn't look what I expected it to be so it made me feel a little more comfortable. I looked like a living room it had a couch at the far end and a flat screen at the corner. There was also some chairs that looked like lazy boys with seatbelts in the very front of the jet. I took a seat in one of the chairs in the front. I was so wrapped up in my own fear that I hadn't noticed Niall take a seat right next to me.

"I promise everything's going to be fine" Niall slid his hand around my waist once more and pulled me close to him;leaning his chin on my shoulder. It was just an instinct to lean into it and hug him back.

"Thank you ... For everything" I felt him squeeze my side for reassurance.

"You don't need to thank me.I will always be here for Scarlett and for you. I'll never leave you Zoe I hope you know that. We are going to get our daughter back and we are going to be happy again I promise. " his voice was making him sound so sure of everything. It was like he had no doubt about anything. But I on the other hand wasn't so sure. I couldn't even look at Niall because I was trying to hold back my tears.

Niall pulled away from me and noticed that I wouldn't look at him. He was trying to meet my eyes but I just couldn't. Then out of no were he grabbed my chin in his hand tilting it upwards. He looked at me but it seamed more like he was looking straight into me. Niall started to lean into me and our lip where centimeters when a voice entered the room making us both jump back.

"We are ready to ... Oh I'm so sorry" frank said back into the cockpit once more.

Niall and I settled into our seats trying to brush past the moment we almost shared.

"Your tired I could see it in your eyes. sleep til we get there. I'll wake you up"

Niall suggested and he wasn't wrong. I haven't sleep more than 2 hours since Scarlett went missing. I could really use some sleep right now. As I closed my eye I felt the jet starting up and it was the last thing I felt before I feel into a deep sleep.
