Tortured Love (One direction Fanfic)

Chapter 2

Everyone had settled into the living room. Niall bounced in the egg chair with an amused look on his face. I couldn't help but smile a little at him. I saw McKenna sneaking glances at him too. She began to relax, leaning back into the chair a little more instead of the tense, ridgid posture she had when she sat down.

"So what happened to everyone?" McKenna asked, breaking the silence.

"I was snagged off the street" I announced "I was walking back home from my boyfriends work".

I noticed Harry's eyes flicker at the mention of the word 'boyfriend'.

"You guys seem to know each other?" McKenna asked the boys. I had noticed that too.

Liam nodded "We're best mates".

"Where are you guys from?" I asked.

"We were all born around London, obviously besides Niall. I'm from Doncaster, Harry is from Cheshire, Zayn is from Bradford, and Liam is from Wolverhampton. Niall is from Mullingar in Ireland. We all moved to Camden and finished high school together" Louis told me.

"Where are you from?" Harry asked Mckenna and I.

"Canada" she said.

I smiled "Me too"

She laughed "Where in?"

"Alberta! What about you?" I replied.

"Vancouver" McKenna told me.

"We seem to be from all over the place" Zayn said. It was true. Why did he tell us we were picked at random but so spread out? He could have chose anyone and the way he did it was a major inconvenience.

"Weird" Niall said to himself.

"What time is it?" Louis got out around a big yawn. I glanced at my watch; 10:30pm! How did it get so late so fast?

"I'm beat" He murmured and got up to investigate the rooms. Everyone nodded and followed his lead. I was about to leave when McKenna took me aside.

"I...um" She avoided eye contact and looked uncomfortable.

"What?" I encouraged.

"Can we room together tonight? I really don't want to sleep alone" McKenna finally said.

I laughed "I'm so glad you asked because I don't want to sleep alone either" She smiled.

I opened the door nearest us and saw a dark staircase.

"What's this?" I asked, looking over at McKenna.

She shrugged "One way to find out?"

My fingers crept along the wall as I slipped down the staircase. McKenna flicked the light switch on behind me.

"That would have been smart to do" I said and she giggled.

I continued down the stairs and it seemed to be some sort of basement. There was two cotts, side by side, a bathroom, and a cabinet. There was also a washer and dryer on the far wall.

"It's like a homemade hospital" McKenna said behind me and I nodded.

The cement was cold under my feet so I suggested "Let's go back up".

We climbed back up and I noticed how cold it was on the main level as well. I shivered and pulled at my jacket. We went back into the room that I had opened before, at the opposite end of the hall.

I stripped off my white ballet flats and my moss green leather jacket and tossed them into a corner.

McKenna opened a drawer and I could see some pink lace items. Looks like we had chosen the right room. McKenna pulled out a simple white tank top and white with pink strips pyjama shorts.
