Payback. Sequel To TMHJ

Chapter Three

Hey guys. So, Simon is out of character in this story, but extremely in this chapter. I honestly believe he is nothing like this in real life. Please forgive me, it's just this way for this story. Without further ado, chapter three.

The four boys spent an hour looking around the car for clues on the disappearance. They knew the police would do nothing about Niall's disappearance for two days, unless they had proof he'd been taken. They knew he wouldn't leave his car parked at McDonalds and then run off. The police would never take their word for it, however.

"I don't know what else we can do, Lou," Liam said as he took a seat on the couch. They were back at the boys flat, trying to work out what to do next. "We looked for clues, but couldn't find any. You called him earlier and the call went straight to voicemail. I mean, we could call the airlines and see if he has booked any flights, but I don't see why he would."

"I may just call them and see if he has," Zayn said and stood up from the couch. Just then Louis' phone buzzed.

"No, wait. Niall just sent me something." Harry walked into the room, from where he was doing the dishes. Usually Niall and Lou did them together when Harry cooked, but given the circumstances, neither were in a position to be doing them today. "It's a voice recording." He played it aloud.

"Hey, Lou. Listen, I am guessing by now you have realised I have not come home yet, but," he took a shakey breath in, "but I am okay. I-I promise you."

"Doesn't sound like it," Harry muttered under his breath. Louis held a hand up to tell him to be quiet.

"I can't go into much detail," Niall continued. "But could you please meet me at the abandoned warehouse on the edge of town. Please, it's very important. You and the other three lads. However, if the police are there, you won't like what happens. I love-- wait, no, please." The recording stopped.

Louis was still sitting, staring at his phone, as if he thought if he kept staring, Niall's voice would come back. He was holding back tears, the best he could.

"What are we waiting for?" Zayn asked and stood up. "Let's go to the warehouse."

"Lou?" Liam asked, looking at Louis, worried. "Are you okay?"

"What?" Louis asked, snapping out of his staring competition with his phone. "Yes, I am fine. Come on. Let's go rescue Nialler."

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

"Please, why didn't you let me finish?" Niall cried after Simon sent the message.

"Because you don't really love Louis. You just think you do. Boys can only love girls, and girls can only love boys. It's time you stop lying to yourself and him and start being truthful to everyone. Think about it. You can have any girl you want. Name a girl, and she'll more than likely want you. Go on, name one."

Niall shook his head. "I don't want any girl. I want Louis."

"Not for long, you won't," Simon said. He stomped on Niall's other foot, hearing a scream and then walked out of the room, leaving Niall alone, until the other members will walk in and find him.

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

"I will do anything to make sure Niall stays safe," Louis said to Liam while Zayn and Harry were in the front seats, talking to each other. "I will do anything so I can hold him, love him, protect him." He smiled, thinking about Niall's perfect face.

"I know you would," Liam smiled, too. "I feel the same about Danielle. It's a powerful feeling and it can make you very vulnerable. But we wouldn't change it for the world."
