The Best Decision

Chapter 14

Chapter 14

Chelsea's POV

Okay, I'm freaking out.  there were a lot of thoughts racing through my mind as I tried to make sense of what just happened.  As soon as Niall disappeared from sight, I walked into my apartment and sat in my living room, staring at the wall trying to make sense of it. 

Maybe that was my identical twin that my parents never told me about.  the girl looked exactly like me, but obviously wasn't me, I think I would've remembered living in freaking Ireland and going to school with Niall freaking Horan.  It couldn't be me... could it?

                          I thought back to what Niall said to me a little while ago.  What did they do to you?  Who would want to do something to me?  Has something already been done with me?  I'm starting to question things in my ordinary life.  What the hell is going on?  Surely he can give me some information at our appointment at 12:30.  What time is it?

I glanced at the clock on the wall to the right of me.  It read 11:30,  It'll take me 20 minutes just to get down to the Panera Bread 4 blocks away to get Finn's and my lunch.  then it takes me like half an hour to get down to my office.  That'll add up to 12:20.  I have to get going. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I  open the door to the building that my office is currently residing in, the almost heavenly smell of freshly baked bread with cold cut Salami and crisp lettuce filling my nose.  Well, maybe not the lettuce- you really can't smell lettuce, right?  Anyway, the food was starting to take my attention away from that little episode with Niall Horan in front of my house.  Oh crap, what am I going to tell Finn about all this?  Nothing.  pleaded the inside of my mind.  It will just complicate things if he finds about that whole thing.  I push open the glass door to my office, which is actually quite spacey.  There was Finn, his feet up on my desk, arm behind his head, talking to someone on the phone.  He hadn't noticed me, so I quietly put the food on the table and sat down, looking through my phone while he continued his call.

"She has no idea."   I remembered he was throwing a surprise party for his friend.  he must be talking to someone about the little get together. 

"She doesn't suspect a thing."  Wait a minute.  That friend was a guy.

"I think the serum worked great on her. "  I listened intently.  Somebody said something on the other side, and Finn laughed.  "Nobody has found Paul yet.  Nobody has found Marius yet.  So they sure won't find Paloma."  Suddenly I felt like ice was running up my spine.  That's what Niall called me yesterday.  Paloma, what did they do to you? 

"I'll just keep the act up.  Niall Horan is coming in today.  Do you want me to grab him before his appointment with her?  He'll tell her everything and she'll remember.  We can lock him away with Marius and Paul. "  More mutters from the other line.

"Little lover boy is not going to ruin our plan.  If he supposedly loves her soo much that he's gone out of his way to find her, he'll wait.  He'll probably surrender without a fight."

What. the. actual. f***.

Finn laughs.  "We are going to make her remember.  Right In front of him.  then he will watch as we torture her. " I had to cover my mouth with my hand to stifle the gasp of horror that escaped my lips.

Obviously I can't confront him about it.  I'll just pretend i'm just walking into the room.  I slowly crept back to the closed door and turned the handle all the way, then shut it loudly and began to walk forward again.  Finn swiveled around in his chair.  He smiled.  Bipolar much? a minute ago you were talking about torturing me.

"Are you ready for some lunch?"  I said with a smile.  I'm good at acting! 

"Sure would! the usual?" He asked while rummaging through the meal. 

"Yup." I replied popping the 'p'.  My appointment with Niall is in 20 minutes.   Oh! Niall! they're going to take him.  As much as he creeped me out on the subway yesterday, he doesn't need to be kidnapped.  I have to find him.  Now.

"Um, Finn?  Eat as much as you want.  I'm going to go ask Sarah about a checking account that someone wants to open."

"Who's account?"  He asked, mouth full of bread.  Uh....

"Monroe."  Please buy it. 

"Okay, I think it's being opened up for his son."  I relaxed a little bit, but there is a about to be a kidnapped superstar. 

"Okay, I'll just go ask Sarah the details."  He waved, signaling goodbye.  I walked out of the room nonchalantly.

Then I booked it.

The lobby is always filled with people looking for an appointment, or just waiting around.  I'm just hoping Niall is already here somewhere.  After 5 minutes of just looking aimlessly around the lobby, I was just about to give up hope. 

In the corner of my eye I saw a car pull up outside.  A limo. Limos hold rich people. Or famous people.  Maybe a boyband member?

I ran out to the limo and just stood there like I was just waiting for someone as the driver opened the door for whoever was inside.   Out stepped a very handsome guy with gorgeous blonde hair, although you could tell he died it. His crystal blue eyes stared right at me as he walked into the building.  I panicked that he would go up the elevator and straight into a trap.

So, naturally, I did the only thing that came to mind.  I ran after him while screaming his name.  Sure people in the lobby stared at me as I ran down the hall screaming "NIALL HORAN!  STOP!!"  But oh well.  He swiveled around to face me. 

"Hello.  Why don't we just conduct our.. erm... meeting upstairs in your office?"  I grabbed his arm and yanked him towards the front doors. 

"Because I'm pretty sure you're about to get kidnapped. So... Follow me. "

Still having hold on his arm, I yanked him two blocks away and we took the subway to Times Square.  I know a guy that has an apartment above the Hard Rock Café, but he's never there because he's always away on business.  I figured it would be safe.  I found the key above the doorframe and let myself in.  I sat Niall down on the couch and bolted the door.

 "Are you sure you don't remember anything?  because you sure are acting like yourself right no-" He was cutoff by me grabbing the collar of his shirt. 

"Okay.  You are going to tell me everything you know about why my boyfriend is planning on torturing me infront of you,  holding some two guys named Marius and Paul, and why you keep calling me Paloma!"

He gulped and cracked his knuckles. 

"Sit down,"  he gestured to the couch opposite him.  "This might take a while."
