Chapter 18 ~ Truth Be Told (Part 1)

Carrie's POV

After Gemma and I were done with our talk, we went out of the room and found it surprisingly quiet. Okay, the guys obviously went somewhere there's no way it can be this quiet. Suddenly, Zayn came walking out of another room.

"Zayn, why is it so quiet in here? Did the guys leave or something?" I asked him.

"Yeah, they had to go... run some errands." He clarified rubbing the back of his neck.

He seems nervous. He must be up to something.

"Zayn, are you okay?" Gemma questioned with concern.

"Oh yeah, I'm fine!" He said, still acting as if he's fretted.

I decided to just brush it off. Once I turned around I felt a pain shoot through my head and I fell to the ground. Everything started to fade. The last thing I remember seeing was Zayn standing over me, smirking.

***

My body ached and my head was throbbing. What the hell happened to me? Did someone hit me? That would explain my hurting head. Wait, where am I? I slowly started to open my eyes and saw I was in some sort of a cell. It was big, but it looked like a torture chamber. There was dry blood on the walls and floor, and the room would fill with nothing but echoes.

My hands were tied behind my back with thick rope that burned my wrists and my ankles were chained. I looked over to see a sleeping, beat up Harry who was in the same position I was. What happened to him? I managed to wake him up by trying my best to scoot closer and use my foot to nudge him. He then abruptly woke up, frantically looking around. He spotted me and shot me a glare.

"What the hell, Carrie?!" He whisper yelled.

"Sorry! Kind of confused on where we are!" I whispered back in the same irritated tone.

Suddenly, the door of the cell opened and in came Mr. Styles with that same annoying smirk on his face.

"Well, well, well..." He started slowly walking towards us, each step making a sound that echoed throughout the cell.

"Carrie, I see you've decided to join Harry and the others."

"I didn't decide, I was forced." I corrected him.

"Shut up." He snapped at me.

Mr. Styles slowly paced back and forth in front of me. "You're probably wondering why you're here."

He got closer to my face and roughly grabbed my chin. "You broke the deal."

"W-what? No I didn't! I didn't tell anybody I swear!" I defended myself.

Mr. Styles lifted an eyebrow at me and walked over to Harry. "Oh Harry knows all about it, love."

I looked over at Harry and saw him angrily looking down to the ground. I knew he would be pissed at me. How did he find out? No one told him did they? Mr. Styles noticed my puzzled look and smirked.

"Harry, would you like to tell Carrie how you found out?" He questioned him.

Harry looked over at me before looking down and mumbling, "We found it on the security footage."

My eyes widened. "Security footage? As in security cameras? Have you been watching me and spying on me?"

"Zayn is the one that thought of the idea!" Harry pointed out, trying to defend himself.

"Ah, yes Zayn, my little helper." Mr. Styles told us before grinning and letting Zayn in.

Harry and I were in shock. He must've been the one that knocked me out! He must've knocked out Gemma too. That asshole.

"Zayn you've done great, lad." Mr. Styles said patting his back. "Now you have one more job left to do."

Zayn nodded before pulling out a gun and walking towards Harry. He roughly grabbed him and put the gun to his temple.

"No! Please don't!" I cried.

Mr. Styles chuckled. "Oh, she's defending you! So you probably haven't told her the truth about her parents."

My eyes automatically went to Harry. I looked at him with worry and confusion as he looked at me with those sad, green eyes.

"Harry, what is he talking about?" I asked him.

"Yeah Harry, tell her who really killed her parents." Mr. Styles said with an evil smile spreading across his face.

"I did."

I feel like my life is falling apart. All this time, my neighbor, the person I trusted, the person I promised to help, the person I loved killed my parents.
