Lucky One (ON HOLD)

Chapter 7

Kate's POV

I pull into the lot, surprised to see almost 3/4 of the cars were gone. I shrug and go back to my old spot. I smile and cut the engine, satisfied it was still open. My phone beeps inside my purse and I pull it out to find a text from Niall.

From: Himm<3

I'm in front of the hotel. Look for me. xx

I blush and reach over to the glove box and pull out some more ammo. I reload and put the gun back in my purse with my keys and phone. I look into the mirror and find some weirdo looking back at me. Her hair was frizzy and sticking out in front. Mascara running down her face and lipstick all faded. I shudder and wipe the remaining lipstick off and replace with some Chapstick. I grab a tissue and wet it and remove my raccoon eyes. As for my 'hair' I give up and just try and smooth it down. I sigh and get out of the car. I spot Niall, face buried in his phone. So I slam the door to grab his attention and just as I planned, his head pops up. I grin and walk over to him. He smiles back and meets me in the middle.

"Why'd you fix up? I kind of like that, messy sexy look." He winks and offers me his arm.

I blush and accept his arm. "I don't normally go out looking like that. Besides, I looked horrible- even if it was sexy." I say.

Niall laughs really loud and I slap my hand on his mouth, looking around to see if anybody heard. My other hand rests on my purse, ready to pull out my gun if needed.

Niall pulls my hand off his face and grabs my other hand, forcing me to look at him. "I promise nothing will hurt us, love. As long as I'm here, you're safe." His eyes sparkle, his face pulled close to mine. I'm caught, mesmerized by his eyes. I nod, unable to do anything else. He gave a small smile and kept hold of my right hand and dragged me to the lobby. When we walk in nobody was there; front desk clerk- gone. Doorman- gone. And even some chairs were tipped over. I gave Niall's hand a slight squeeze and he squeezed back, reassuring me.

Louis came around the corner, and Niall quickly let go. I shrug off the hurt and watch Lou come to us.

"Kate, thank god your here! That peasant cop is freaking out on everyone, especially the sassy cop." Lou rushes over to us.

My eyes widen. "Where is he?"

Louis points around the corner he just came from. "Just around this corner and- YOUR NOT VERY GOOD AT BEING PATIENT." He shouts at my running back. I turn the corner and saw Mark yelling at Jade. My fists clench up in anger and I stalk towards Mark.

"Ohhh just wait until I tell Isaac about this. Hes going to be sooo pissed off!" Mark had his hands on his hips. I humph, guess I'm not the only one who does that. "She was a suspect! Now she's gone! This is really irresponsible of you Jade!" Gosh he's getting red in the face. Guess it's my turn to step in. Wait, a suspect?! They were telling me a witness..

"Hey loser chillax! She's fine. I ran away so yell at me. And suspect? You think I would hurt my idol?! She's been my idol for my whole life! You just don't assume I'd hurt her, that's ridiculous." I step in. Their heads whip towards me and I could see Jades eyes were rimmed with red. I never felt so guilty in my life.

"So the princess decides to come and go as she pleases?" Mark stepped towards me.

"Well excuuuuse me if being chased by the criminal is considered wrong." I retort and snap my fingers.

His eyebrows go up. "Criminal?!"

I smile. "Hmm looks like I know something you don't!"

"Spill it, princess. This is really important stuff!" He glares.
