It's A Man's World

~8~

~Emily~

All my clothes were folded neatly into my language and was added to the pile of all the others boys suitcases.

"Are you okay?" Liam asked me gently wrapping an arm around my shoulders.

"I don't know. I really wish I could say goodbye to my parents first."

"I'm sorry, love. I can't make that happen." He gives me a sympathetic frown.

"It's alright." I sigh and pressed into his side.

"All ready boys?" A man I have never seen before steps through the doors.

"Paul!" The boys cheer and run toward the intimidating figure.

"This is Emily." Louis gestured to me.

"Nice to meet you. I would love to get to get to know you but we have to get going. Are you lads all packed?"

The boys nodded and reached down to get there bags. I went to go get mine but Paul stopped me.

"You aren't coming, dear. I'm sorry." The large man told me.

His words felt like a bullet piercing through my security and comfort that the boys had built with me. It hadn't even been a month and I...I love them.

The boys were obviously stunned by Paul's words as well because they stopped walking toward the door and looked between Paul and I with worried eyes.

"What do you mean she isn't coming?" Zayn asked slowly.

"No natives are allowed off the island." He stated.

"Please Paul. She has to come with us." Niall begged.

"I'm sorry, lads. No can do. Now come on. We have to go." He started ushering the five toward the door.

"Not without her." Liam ran to my side, grasping onto my hand tightly.

"Yeah. We are not going anywhere without her." Louis rushed to me and held onto my other hand equally as tight.

Harry nodded and came over as well followed by Niall and Zayn.

"Please don't do this." I managed to use my voice to beg the boys.

"No. We are not going without you." Zayn grasped my shoulder.

"Lads, we don't have time to mess around. She will be fine." Paul said.

"You said yourself Himel was going to be nuked." Louis hissed.

"Yeah but not for a few days. They are going to clear out most of the woman before they do." Paul recoiled.

"If its not for a couple of days why do we have to hurry?" Louis bit back.

"Boy, stop messing around and just get in the van." The large man sighed.

"Paul, I don't think you understand. I love Emily and I'm not going to sit here knowing that in a few hours she will be dead. She is going or we are staying." Niall narrowed his eyes at Paul.

It wasn't until Niall said that, that reality kicked in. I'm going to die. The thought of dying made my knees shake and bile to rise in my throat.

"I'm going to die." I repeated this time out loud.

"No. No you aren't. Don't say that." Harry told me.

"We aren't going to let that happen." Zayn confirmed.

"Niall said it himself." I whimpered.

"Paul please! Do something!" Harry pleaded.

"Even if I wanted to save her, we can't. The officials here won't let her onto the plane."

"Why not?" Liam asked.

"Because according to the rules; No native woman is allowed off the island without their master. Emily or should I say 3207 does not have a master."

"Why do rules suddenly matter? There isn't going to be an Island of Himel by tomorrow so why should we care about the fucking rules?" Harry's voice raises obviously getting frustrated.

"Because Harry, no one can know what's about to happen so we have to act like nothing major is coming meaning we have to follow the rules."

"You can't be fucking serious." The curly haired boy growled and walked from the room.

"Is there any way we can get her off the Island?" Asked Niall.

"Yeah if you want to become her master but-"

"Lets do it." Liam nods his head.

"What do we have to do?" Zayn asked.

"If you had let me finish, she has to lose her virginity and then you have to go through all this other stuff to get her the proper paperwork."

"Well shit..." Louis cusses.

"What do you want to do, Emily?" Liam asked her.

"It doesn't matter what she wants to do, we have to get out of here. We don't have the time." Paul huffs impatience clear in his eyes.

"Will you shut up, Paul!" Louis yells causing me to jump slightly.

"Sorry, love." He whispers to me.

"Emily, dear. Would you feel comfortable with having sex with one of us?" Zayn asked me, his eyes peering into mine.

"If it what has to happen." I sighed.

"We have to go now! We have absolute no time for this!" Paul yells.

"Do not understand how much this woman means to us? If you cared for us at all I would sit down and chill your ass out." Louis growled.

"Fine you have an hour." He sighs and walks out the way he came.

"What should we do?" Niall asks as soon as the door gets slammed shut.

"I don't know but I think Harry should be apart of whatever we decide." Louis said.

"I'll go fetch him." I volunteered and scooted from the room.

"Harry?" I called out.

"Yeah?" His voice came from the bathroom.

"Can I come in?"

"Yeah."

I creaked the door open and walked over to Harry sitting in the empty tub.

"Is he gone?" He asked and I nodded.

"Sorry I walked away just he was pissing me off." He apologized.

"I understand." I took his hand in mine.

"Would you like to come join us down stairs? We have quite a bit to discuss." I told him. He nodded and pulled himself from the tub.

We walked down the stairs hand and hand.
