Chapter 3

Harry's POV

"Is something wro- Who's that?" Louis asked.

I had tried to communicate to him through facial expressions that something was very wrong, but he didn't seem to get it.

I turned around to see which boy was standing behind me.

"You didn't tell us you had roommates Harry," Niall purred in my ear.

Niall. Not as bad as Zayn, but still not great.

I turned back to Louis, shuddering.

"This is Niall. I think he and Zayn, his friend, will be staying with us for a while."

"Uh, w-well I just, uh-"

What I wanted to say but wouldn't come out was something akin to, "That's not my problem, now is it?" Insert expletives where you'd like. I probably thought them.

"No, no, it's alright," he smiled widely, before walking away. I watched him until he turned down the hall and was no longer in view.

I then turned to Louis who gave me a look the screamed, 'What the hell?'

"What, I mean who, or.... No. Why?" Louis finally said, making frustrated movements with his hands.

"I'd tell you if I knew," I shrugged.

"Are we in danger?" Louis whispered.

"Probably," I frowned.

Louis's eyes widened.

"Hey, who did I just bump into in the hallway?" Liam poked his head into the room Louis and I were in.

"I'll tell you what I know," I told them both, "It happened after I left work..."

Flashback

He saw me yesterday?

Wait....

No.

But those eyes do look familiar...

"What's your name?" The blonde asked.

"H-harry." I squeaked, sounding more mouse than man.

"Hmm okay Harry... Well lets get to the point," he said, getting up from his current position over me. He brushed himself off and then turned to grin at me.

"Uh."

"Zayn and I need a place to stay for awhile...... For reasons that will remain unknown to you. I think you're just the guy we should stay with," he winked as his eyes scanned over my terrified position on the dirty ground.

"W-what?"

Zayn stood up for the first time since I've seen him.

"I'll put it simply for you. We are staying in your house and you're not going to ask why. You cannot refuse. You don't want to find out what will happen if you put up a fight," Zayn hissed out at me.

Okay, Zayn officially scared me more.

My head was total chaos with panic. Why did it have to be me walking by these two right now?

I could try to run for it, but I don't think I would make it. Plus Zayn just told me I'd pretty much die if I did resist.

"So Harry, are you going to take us to your place now?" Niall asked, patting my knee. I think that was supposed to be encouragement to stand up. I honestly didn't know if I could.

Very shakily, I stood on my feet. I don't know what to do right now. Niall looked at me expectantly. Zayn just glared.

Are these guys killers or something? Maybe they rob banks?

This doesn't make any sense.

"How long are you going to be staying for?" I asked Niall, avoiding eye contact with Zayn.

"As long as we need."

Very vague. Great, just great.

"Let's get going, I'm tired of sitting here," Zayn groaned.

This was not okay with me. At all. I sized them up as thoughts of escape came to me again. Then images of them stabbing or choking me flashed through my mind and caused me to give up. There wasn't anything I could do that wouldn't result in serious bodily injury on my part.

I took in a deep breath before walking out of the alley, heading down the street where the apartment was.

For a minute I thought they weren't following me but, when I turned around, they were there. Something about them seemed off. 

Okay, everything about them and this whole situation is off.

After walking a couple more blocks we were at the front of the apartment. I found my door and slowly pushed it open.

What will Louis and Liam think?

This isn't going to be good.

I walked inside. When the other two came in, I shut the door behind them.

I rushed to Louis' room hoping to ask for help.

Flashback End

I didn't know if I was allowed to tell them anything or not so, I explained everything to Louis and Liam as quickly as possible.

By the end of my story, they looked stunned.

Both had remained silent throughout my retelling of the past half hour of my life. Even now they appeared to be at a loss for words.

"I think it may be time to phone to police," Louis muttered, after collecting his thoughts. He reached for his phone.

"I wouldn't do that," Zayn stepped into the room.

Louis dropped his phone in surprise.

"Bad things will happen to anyone who speaks a word of our being here. Understand?" Zayn flashed the three of us a menacing look.

"And just who do you think you are?" Louis said, sounding braver than he looked. He stood up to match Zayn's agitated stance.

I admire Louis sometimes. He knows these people are dangerous yet, he still is trying to defend us.

"If you keep stepping out of line, your worst nightmare," Zayn snarled lowly. They were both in each other's faces.

"Harry, where is the food?" Niall shouted as he came running down the hall. He shoved himself into the small room that was already cramped with the four of us in here.

As much as I didn't want to deal with him, it was a blessing he showed up now. Zayn looked ready to crush Louis.

"Whoa, it's tense in here," Niall observed.

When no one answered Captain Obvious, he stepped in between Zayn and Louis. Grabbing Zayn, he pulled him back. Now Zayn's glare was trained on Niall.

We all watched as Niall patted Zayn on the head, grinning like this was no big deal the whole time. To our amazement, Zayn's hostile attitude disappeared as he rolled his eyes at Niall. He crossed his arms over his chest and returned to staring us down, though not as harshly as before.

"Food, Harry. C'mon," Niall said, turning back to me.

Still a bit horrified at the past five minutes events, I went along to show Niall the kitchen. I could feel Louis and Liam's gaze on me as I left them alone with Zayn.
