Their Saving Grace {One Direction AU}

Chapter 4

I ran into the kitchen to find Niall and Harry in each others faces, harsh words being spat. I stepped in between them, as Zayn pulled Harry backwards.

"What the hell is going on?!" I yelled, as I looked at the both of them. "I can't leave you two alone for a damn hour without you guys arguing!"

"Styles started it!"

"That's the biggest bullshit lie I've ever heard from you, Horan! And that's saying something!"

"Come at me, Styles! I'll ripe your damn curls off your head!"

"ENOUGH!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. I looked over at Alice, who was still in the corner crying. I moved away from Niall and walked up to her, bending down to her level. Her ears were hidden in her tangled brunette hair.

"Alice," I whispered, as I reached for her hand. She flinched, thinking I was going to hurt her. "I'm not going to hurt you, Alice. I'd never do that."

"Ri-Riley," She said, big tears in her eyes. "Al-Alice wa-wants Ri-Riley." I looked back at Niall, who was trying to restrain himself from strangling Harry.

"Where's Riley?" I asked them, as I sat next to Alice on the floor. She huddled up close to me, as she softly cried. The lads didn't answer.

"Where is Riley?" I said, a bit more anger in my voice.

"We don't know," Harry said, as he ran his fingers through his hair. "We haven't seen her since..." Harry trailed off. I stood up and slowly walked towards him.

"What did you say?"

"Since you and Zayn left." Harry finished. That's when I switched from insanely angry, to extremely worried and scared.

"Niall, please tell me Harry's lying to me." I begged. I could hear my heart rate speed up, causing my head to ache. Niall bit his lip.

"I wish he was, Li. But he isn't. Riley disappeared as soon as you left. We've looked everywhere for her; the bedroom, the bathroom, the closet. Everywhere."

"Hell, we even flipped the couch to see if she was behind it." Harry added. I bit my lip. Oh no.

"But why's there glass everywhere?" Zayn asked.

"Curly, over here, decided to take his frustration out on the glass."

"Bullshit, leprechaun. Your the one that threw the glass!"

"I don't give a f*** about who threw the damn glass! Riley is missing and we have no clue where she is!" I yelled, my anger and worry rising. "Zayn, I want you to stay with Alice and try to calm her down, okay?" He nodded his head, as he cautious walked towards her. I turned around and faced the blond and curly haired lad.

"And you arseholes!" I pointed. "You two are coming with me." They hung their heads, as I pulled the hood of my jumper on my head. Harry grabbed Zayn's car keys, and we started our search. The rain was falling heavily as we tried looking threw the thick drops. As we drove, I kept worrying about Riley. What if someone found her? What if someone took her? So many questions were running through my mind.

After searching the neighborhood and surroundings, worried. My body was shaking and my head was pounding.

"Liam, I don't think we're going to find her." Harry said.

"Don't say that." I hissed. I wasn't going to believe that. I told Harry to give me a little more time, before he groaned and continued. After another hour of searching, Harry started heading back towards Niall and I's flat. I noticed a dark alley way as we drove. A lightbulb went off in my mind. I took a deep breath, before I opened the car door and rolled out of it.
