Sacrifices (1D angst story)

Ch.6: Emergency

~Liam~

Ever since, that night where I protected Louis, everybody was basically in their own little world. I even think that Niall, Harry and even Louis lost complete trust in Steven but I had a feeling that I could still trust him. We all was still in the basement, I just stared at the wall and I felt someone else plopping themselves down next to me. I looked and there stood Niall sitting next to me. "I never told you thank you" Niall whispered to me and I just sighed. "I got us into this mess, I owe to you and everybody else here to protect you guys" I spoke out loud to Niall and Niall just rolled his eyes. "Why don't you want Louis to know the truth" Niall asked me and I just shook my head. "Because I just don't Niall" I finally responded to Niall's question. "Well, Louis is upstairs being forced to clean up the kitchen" Niall informed me and I just sighed. "Harry is cleaning up the living room" Niall continued to inform me and I just sighed. "We have to get out of here" I confessed to Niall and Niall just rolled his eyes at me. "You think we haven't tried. We could if Steven would help us" Niall had this edge to his tone. "What do you expect Lucas is his brother, he scared of his brother too" I stated to him while I got off the floor and Niall followed my suit. "Do you think that this Lucas guy will let us go" Niall sighed and asked me. I shrugged my shoulders. "I don't know, Lucas is this guy that you do not want to mess with" I confessed to Niall and I heard the basement door open and there stood Harry with a black eye across his face. I walked up to Harry after the basement door was locked. "Harry, what happened" I asked him and Harry sighed. "I'm fine, are you okay from last night" Harry asked me while checking me over. "I'm okay" I told Harry but Harry already lifted up my shirt to reveal a dark bruise that was already turning purple. "Liam, we have to get some medical products down here" Harry advised me and I shook my head. "That's not happening ever, especially with Lucas around" I commented to Harry and Harry just sighed at me. "Now what happened to your eye Haz" I again asked Harry and Harry rolled his eyes. "Apparently, I wasn't cleaning up the living room at the speed that was expected of me" Harry shrugged his shoulders. "How's Louis doing up there" I asked and Harry once more sighed at me. "He's doing okay enough that Lucas has yet to struck him" Harry shrugged his shoulders. "That's good" I commented to Harry while winced while sitting on my cot. "I think that after Louis saw you getting slapped, it kind of scarred him for life" Harry pointed out to me and I just nodded. "Good, then he won't feel the need to irritate Lucas" I now pointed out to Harry. "Do you really trust Steven" Harry asked me while raising an eyebrow up. "Yeah I do, he's just scared of Lucas. He always have been" I confessed the same thing that I said to Niall now to Harry. "Thank you Liam" Harry told me and I just stared at him. "I would do anything to get us out of here or if I can do anything to protect you guys here I would do" I stated to Harry once more and Harry smiled at me a little bit exposing his dimples. The door opened once again and with that Louis was tossed into the basement area with the cots. Louis was glaring at me and I looked at the ground. Steven came into the room and plopped down some food. "I brought you guys some food from nando's" Steven announced to us and I could see Niall was about ready to search through the bag but his lack of trust stopped him. "Okay then" Steven said when he saw the amount of glares directed towards him. Steven turned on the TV that was on News channel. He walked out of the basement along with the TV remote. I sat in front of the TV and so did Niall and Harry and Louis was standing up but I knew he was watching the TV news as well. (Italics news report)"Hello guys I'm Ross Dime. We have been searching for the members of One Direction after one night, the newly foursome went missing almost 3 weeks ago" The News Reporter stated. "The police is on avid search and is asking for help in finding Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles and Niall Horan" The News reporter continued talking and they showed each of our photos and then it showed our families. I felt sick to my stomach because I saw the face on my parents' face, my mom looked like she hadn't been sleeping and I heard a growl from Louis. "See what you did Payne, you just love torturing our families" Louis glared at me coming face to face. "You know what, I said I was sorry what more do you want from me" I shouted at Louis and Niall was rolling his eyes once again. "Maybe I'll believe you if we actually were free" Louis pushed me in my stomach right where my bruise. I groaned in pain and I was bent down. Niall rushed over to me and lifted up my shirt, it bleeding a lot. Niall eyes went wide and so did Harry. "Niall get help" Harry advised Niall and Niall rushed up the basement stairs banging on the door adamantly. "You going to be okay Liam" Harry stated to me and Louis eyes were wide in shock. "Liam" Louis spoke quietly. Steven and Lucas came down the stairs. "What the hell is going on in here" Lucas crossed his arms. "He's bleeding a lot" Niall told him with a shaky voice. Niall was scared of Lucas and he had every right to be. "So what" Lucas rolled his eyes. "He could die" Harry informed Lucas and once again Lucas rolled his eyes. "Lucas, you don't want Liam to die do you" Steven crossed his arms and Lucas once again rolled his eyes. "You're right, I guess we should do something. Steven patch him up" Lucas commanded Steven and Steven just nodded. "Don't you think he should go to the hospital" Louis said to Lucas and Lucas glared at Louis causing Louis to back up. "I am not letting him go to the hospital, he could very well escape and that's not happening" Lucas stormed out of the basement and threw a medical kit down to Steven. "It's going to be okay" Steven gave me a small smile. I felt so tired but I felt Steven slapping me. "You have to stay awake for me" Steven informed but I felt my eyes close.
