It's A Man's World

~7~

~Emily's POV~

"We are home!" I heard 4 voices yell out into the flat.

"Hello Niall. Oh god what's wrong, lad?" I heard Louis ask from my place in the bathroom.

I heard some muffled talking followed by a sniffle. Did I make Niall cry?

"Well, where is she now?" Harry asked.

"I'll go talk to her. Don't worry, Niall." Liam said followed by footsteps to my hiding spot.

"Emily." He whispered.

"Yes..." I mumbled.

"Will you let me in?" He asked.

I slowly lifted myself off the ground and drug myself to the door. I unlocked it and then retreated back to my place. Liam came in and took a seat beside me.

"What happened, love?" He asked softly, pulling me into his side.

"Niall said he loved me." I said shakily.

"And that's bad why?" He asked although we both knew he already knew.

"I don't love him. I mean I can't..." I rested my head against his muscular chest.

"Do you want to?" He asked.

"I don't know....I mean, I'm so used to men being the bad guys and you bunch are so far the only exceptions. I'm still not used to your kindness." I told him honestly.

"I understand. How about you take a warm shower and you can talk to Niall tomorrow after you have gotten some rest." He stroked my hair out of face and placed a light kiss on my forehead before exiting the room.

I did what he told me and took a refreshing shower. I let the water run over me taking away my current stress along with it.

I thought back to what Niall told me about saving me from Himel but I started to realize how bizarre that actually sounded. There was no way that the top men in authority would ever let me leave. The few planes going to and from the Island were highly regulated and kept as a privilege to only the riches of men.

Oh but how I would love to get out of here. I could possibly go to school and go to college. Oh and get a job! How wonderful that sounds...

I shook myself from my silly fantasy and stepped out of the shower, drying my body off.

When I stepped out of the bathroom, a towel wrapped tightly around my body, I saw the boys huddled around a cell phone. Worried looks coated their faces as they listened to the voices coming from the other end. Niall's tear stained face looked up suddenly catching me.

"She's out..." He mumbled softly before looking back to the phone. The other boys faces looked to me before looking back at each other.

"What's going on?" I asked bravely.

"It looks like we will be leaving sooner then expected..." Harry said as he fiddled with his fingers, his eyes not daring to meet mine.

So many emotions hit me at once, hardly being able to sort out what was actually said.

"Why?"

"The U.S. Military is about to bomb Himel..." Louis said.

"U.S.? What's that?" I asked confused.

"The United States Of America. It's a country across the globe." Zayn said.

"Why would they bomb us?" I asked, my brain becoming fuzzy and darkness closing in.

"Because they don't know how to fix this place so they just plan to destroy it." Liam replied and with that, I was out.
