Chapter Seventeen

Tessley

When I finally calmed down, I realized everyone had left Zayn's room to give us a moment.

I looked Liam in the eye, "Can you stay in our room tonight?"

"Of course."

He laced his fingers through mine and we walked to my room. My eyes widened in surprise, the door was opened and the room was a mess. Liam let go of my hand and walked into the room.

He shook his head, "Stay out there."

I snorted, "And face some physico killer-person? Ya, no. I think I'll come with you."

He frowned, but grabbed my hand once again and walked into the room. Our stuff was literally everywhere. The bathroom door was kicked open and all the lights were off.

"Carson?" I called quietly, "Lissa!" Neither of them answered.

I turned to Liam, "This is fucking creepy. Let's get Paul in here."

He nodded, "You get Paul, I'm staying here."

"No it's fine, you go get him." I placed my hand on his chest, "I'm going to start cleaning up."

He sighed and ran out, leaving me alone.

"Alright Sarah, where are you?" I hissed into the darkness. Suddenly I felt something cold on my throat and someone holding me from behind. "Hi, yeah would you maybe...I don't know...GET OFF ME?!"

There was a girly laugh from behind me, "Nope, you broke the promise. Now one of your friends get to die. You pick. Carson or Lissa?"

I tried to move, but the sharp blade was already grazing my neck lightly.

"Nither," I hissed, "Now get off, Liam is going to be back with Paul in a minute and he's going to see you. Then your whole plan will be fucked."

I heard foot steps, and someone stepped forwards and slapped me in the face, making me gasp in pain. That was the cheek Sarah hit earlier.

"Shut up Tessley." I heard a familiar voice hiss angrily.

Sarah let me go and stood in front of me threateningly, the girl beside her was short and small.

"Carson?" I breathed, not wanting to believe that she was apart of this too.

She winced, "I'm sorry Tessley, she said she'd hurt Niall."

My eyes widened, "You've been helping her all along?"

Carson shook her head violently, "No!"

"Then since when?!" I growled, "I thought we were friends?!"

"Shut up, shut up!" Sarah screeched annoyingly. "The point is, you don't even have friends anymore. One hates you the other is going to die for disobeying me. Now both of you shut up and lets get this over with."

I frowned, "I still don't know what you even want woman! Is the point hat you want to ruin my career? Because I don't even care!"

She smiled sumgly, "I know. That's why I'll kill your friend and ruin your career."

"You're a fucking psycho path." I spat at her. "You need help."

She snarled and hit me in the face with the knife. I felt the sting in my cheek, along with a warm liquid running down my face.

"Tessley!" Carson exclaimed, then she turned to Sarah, "You said no one would get hurt! You lied."

She ran over to me and pressed something to me face. I felt myself get dizzy, but I pushed the feeling away quickly. I stood up and walked over to Sarah.

"You know what, ruin my career, that's fine." I spat, "But you touch anyone I love and I will kill you."

She laughed shrilly, "What if I told you your friend is already dead?"

I heard Carson choke back a sob from behind me, but I narrowed my eyes, "You're lying."

There was a knock on the door, followed by pounding and yelling.

"Tess! Open up!" Zayn yelled from the door.

I went to go unlock the door, but Sarah ran behind me and stabbed me in the back. I felt myself crumple to the ground. There was nothing but pain.

"TESSLEY!" Carson screamed.

Everything was fuzzy.

I tried to reach the door and it took me a moment to realize that I was actually lying on the floor, unable to move.

There was gunshots.

My vision was cloudy, but I could hear everything. Paul broke down the door, then there was a lot of yelling. There were voices that belonged to people I don't know, and then I was in someone's arms.

"Tessley," the voice whispered, "Don't go to sleep, okay? I know you're tired, but you have to stay awake. Can you talk to me?"

"No." I managed to croak out, "It hurts."

"It's okay, you're going to be okay. The ambulance will be here soon. You just have to keep talking to me."

I shook my head slightly, "I can't Liam. I too tired."

He sucked in a breath, "No, no, no! You have to keep talking to me!"

I smiled, "I'll talk to you in the morning Liam. Goodnight, I love you."

"I love you too, but it's not time to sleep yet." His body started to shake, "Wake up, please."

I sighed, "I'm not sleeping yet."

He was sobbing now. "Don't leave me."

I frowned, "I'm not leaving you, I'm right there." I whispered, pointing to his heart. "Where's Lissa and Carson?"

"I'm here Tessley." A thick voice called out. Lissa ran over and grabbed my hand. "Keep talking don't go to sleep, I know you want to but don't. You can sleep soon."

I smiled, "I love you, all of you. Thank you for always being there for me. Tell my fans I love them, and someone tell Sarah to go to hell..." I said quietly.

I heard a slight moan and I chuckled.

Carson smiled through her tears, "Trust me, I think we all took care of Sarah."

I opened my eyes and looked right at Liam. "I'm cold." I whispered, "I'm so cold I feel like everything is going to fall off."

I saw everyone was in the room, looking at me sadly.

I laughed, but winced in pain. "Would you all stop looking so depressed? I've got some time, I'm only bleeding out slowly."

Louis stepped forwards, "You're not going anywhere Tess." He growled.

"I organized for Eleanor to come stay with us. She's getting here in 2 days. It was supposed to be a surprise, but given what's going on... Tell her I said hi, and I love her too."

Now Louis had tears running down his face, "Stop talking like you're going to die, please I can't take it."

"I'm tired." I smiled and closed my eyes again, "Goodnight." I whispered, so quietly I don't think they heard me.

Then everything went black...
