Chapter 27:

LOUIS

"Liam! Zayn!" I called them into the room. It was the same room where we called Harry's parents. The same room I made Zayn tie his hands in. The same room I hit him in. I hated that memory, but I loved Harry, and it meant the world that he forgave me for that terrible mistake. I would never hurt him that way again.

They both walked into the room, looking at me with curiosity written all over their faces. I was a bit afraid of how they would react when I told them what I wanted to do, but I was going to do it with or without them.

"I overheard a conversation between Niall and Harry this morning, and I've been thinking that maybe we should give a bit of comfort to their families." I said. Liam raised his eyebrow and Zayn only looked at Liam to see how he would react.

"What do you mean by comfort them? Louis, this whole situation is already very unusual for a kidnapping." He said, bringing me back to that reality that this was a kidnapping. We did take Harry without him wanting to leave, and even if he wanted to be here now, it was stil very illegal.

"I know that, Liam. I just... I heard how worried Niall was about his parents struggling with money, so what if we give their house a little visit at midnight and leave some money in their mailbox. I mean, we still have tons in our bank." I said. Most of the money was from past kidnappings that got the job done. This one was really the only one that was more complicated than that, but I would accept it that way if it meant Harry got to stay.

"I mean, I guess we could. But there are so many things that could fo wrong, Louis. We could get caught putting the money in the mailbox, and they'd wanna know why. Something could happen here while we're gone. As much as I am sure Harry won't leave, not too sure about Niall." He said.

"Niall won't leave." Zayn added in. I knew that, too. It was obvious Niall wouldn't leave. Not without Harry at least. He was his best friend, and also the boy he loved, which did get on my nerves quite a lot, but I trusted Harry. I knew how he felt about me.

"Okay. Then what's your full plan? What are we going to tell Harry?" Liam asked.

"What do you mean?" I asked. Last time we left Harry here he never asked much. He wasn't one to pry really, and that sort of made this easier to do as a surprise.

"Well, won't he get a bit curious if you just up and leave in the middle of the night?" Liam asked. He did have a point there, but I don't think Harry would actually try and figure out what I was leaving to do.

"I'll just tell him that we have to take care of some business. Just leave that part to me." I said. Liam was about to speak again, most likely in protest, but Zayn touched his arm and he immediately stopped.

I raised my eyebrow at them, seeing Liam look at Zayn in the eyes. There was a certain fondness that they held in them, and it made sense to me now. The way he looked at Zayn was full of such love. I knew because it was how I looked at Harry. That fondness. I didn't know how to react to that, but the more human part that Harry brought to life was happy for my best friends.

Best friends. I have never thought of Liam and Zayn as my best friends. They were always more my henchmen, my partners, my back-up, my acquantances. Never my best friends. But now, I actually see and appreciate them being here after all the hell I'vs put them through. Maybe it was time to try and let them in as well.

I looked at them with pleading eyes and said "Please just help me with this." Liam looked a bit surprised and Zayn looked thoughtful, but they both nodded, agreeing to help me out. I gave a sigh of relief and breathed out a "Thank you" before I said "We'll leave at midnight. Meet in the living room."
