I Think I've Been Kidnapped

Chapter 4

Yellow, fellow wattpad users! It's been a while, hasn't it? Bout two weeks I think... Yeah, sorry I wont make an excuse, I was just too lazy. I did update my other stories though. The computer deleted this the first time I wrote it about a week ago so this might not be as good as the first one. Actually the first one was kind of crappy so maybe it deleting itself is a good thing. Plus, I'm going to make this as long as I possibly can. Just to give you information this takes place in most likely the summer of the year 2015 and Mai is about 20. She's home from college for the summer so.... yep. Anyways, I hope you enjoy!

***Mai's P.O.V.***

''I-I need a moment,'' I stuttered as I watched the boys' faces closely, still not believing that this was actually happening. They all nodded and left accept for Harry and Niall who both remained seated on the bed. They both looked up at each other and glared as I could feel the tension grow thicker by the second.

''I want to talk to her Niall, explain things a little bit,'' Harry stated and Niall looked at me before focusing back on him.

''Maybe you should let me explain to her, Harry,'' Niall disagreed.

Harry's jaw clenched and I found myself unintentionally backing up into the headboard, ''why? So Mr. Innocent can come in and fix everything.''

Niall's glare deepened and for a moment he looked threatening, but it soon dissipated due to the fact that he's about as intimidating as a baby penguin. ''You've already messed up with this, Harry, I would hate for you to do something else,'' Niall said, trying to sound calm.

Harry scoffed, ''I hate how all of you are treating this like it's the end of the world, it's not!''

''Not for you!'' Niall yelled back after hearing Harry's voice raise, but then it leveled out again after he took a deep breath, ''not for you, Harry, but for others, it very well could be.'' I was so confused and scared at this point that I pulled the covers closer to my body. ''Let me handle this,'' Niall demanded.

Harry sighed in exasperation and spoke through clenched teeth, ''fine.'' With that he left, slamming the door on his way out and leaving Niall and I in silence. To tell you the truth I was exceedingly glad that I was in this room with Niall. Not because I had a soft spot for him, but because after having Harry barely talk to me and then see him and Niall yelling I was a little scared of Harry.

''I'm sorry about that,'' Niall gushed when he saw me huddled up against the headboard. He laid a reassuring hand on my knee and I hesitantly came out from my fetal position, waiting for him to say what he was going to say.  ''Harry can have a bit of a temper...'' he trailed off and then smiled at me. ''So, you'll be staying with us for a while. You excited?''

Truthfully, part of me wanted to be excited but something else was screaming at me that something about this situation wasn't right. ''I want to go home,'' I answered plainly.

His smiled dipped, quickly turning into a frown and then back into a smile, but this one was forced, ''I know, and we wish we could take you back but we just really need your help with these songs.''

There was something in his eyes that I couldn't quite place my finger on as he said those words. ''Why?'' I asked simply.

''Why what, love?'' he questioned.

''Why did you have to take me? I have a song book back at home, you could've chosen any of the songs in there and been on your way,'' I explained and he sighed heavily.

''Lately, the boys have been different, more... hostile,'' Niall started, ''they're not doing it on purpose, they're just stressed. Management has been on our backs a lot lately and it's getting to us. You're here because of the songs, but I think that you can also help with their attitudes. We don't really get to joke around a lot with all the pressure. Maybe you'll be able to bring the life back to all of them.''
