Harry Styles

"I'm in love with you." Lauren says as I choke on my water. As soon as she said those 5 little words, it made sense. She's been keeping all of this inside of her; for who knows how long. Little did Lauren know, I've been keeping those words in too.

"L-Lauren..." I say as her eyes start to water. "I knew you didn't feel the same way. I know. Lauren, we're just friends. Or, Lauren I don't like you that way. Or how about-" "Lauren stop talking like that." "What are you talking about? It's obvious that you don't feel the same way about me, or else you would have said it!" She cries as I instantly feel bad

"Lauren. Do you want the truth?" I ask as she nods her head slowly.

"I have always felt that way about you, I just didn't notice it. I'm not very good with emotions but I promise I will get better. I have never had someone just randomly blurt that out to me, let alone say that to me at all, so it feels different. I guess I have never had the courage to admit to myself that I'm in love with you, too."

Lauren stands up and instead of crying, like I thought she was going to do, she lets out a sigh of relief and says, "I've been waiting for years for you to say that."

"Have you seen my phone..?" I ask a little while later. "Yeah. I put it on the charger over there last-night." She smiles as I hop up to go get it. I check my texts and I have over 20 text messages from Niall.

"Lauren..." I say as she asks what's wrong. "I know I said I would spend the day with you but Niall is wondering where I am and he's is freaking out... You can come with me down to the station or-" "No... It's fine. I won't keep you from your job." She smiles and relief washes over me like a tidal wave.

"Thank you." I say as I step towards her. I kiss her on the lips and say, "I love you." About 10 times before she shoo's me off to my car. I wave to her as she blows a kiss and I'm off to the station.

Niall Horan

Harry gets to the station and as soon as I see him I run over. "Mate, where have ya been? We got in touch with the other squad and they have Shauna in handcuffs. Molly's doing alright but I think it's going to take a while before she-" I blurt out before he shushes me.

"Yeah... I have no idea what you just said." He admits.

"Well they have captured Shauna and are about 10 minutes away... How was your date with Lauren?" I ask as his serious face turns into a smile.

"It was nice. I found out she loves me."

I nearly choke on my own spit when I hear the word love.

"She just admitted it to you?"

"Well she said that she had loved me for a while but she didn't want it to go this far... And it did, so."

"Are you guys dating?" I ask curiously as Harry paces around the room.

"We're not 'going-out' per-say... But we're sort of together? Yes." Although I know Harry means well, he uses too big of words for my vocabulary and I didn't understand half of the words that just spat out of his mouth.

"You didn't understand a word I said, did you?" He smirks as I shrug.

"You know me so well." I guess as Harry goes into the Medical Exam room and pulls iut a bunch of files from his cabinet.

"When are they getting here with Shauna? I have a little surprise for her..." Harry laughs as I stand there puzzled.

"What do you mean?"

"Oh, you'll see."

In about 15 long minutes of waiting and hearing Louis and Harry have their big reunion, the squad finally gets here with Shauna handcuffed.

"What a turn of events... Huh?" Smith jokes as the room is filled with tension he is oblivious to.

"Yeah. I never thought these dork-wads would catch me." Shauna says entering the room. Anyone with eyes can easily see how much tension there is between the three of us.

"Shauna... Why?" I ask stepping towards her. The officers have a tight hold on her elbows as she inches towards Harry and I.

"I'm the least person you expected to be in this position, am I right?" She smirks deviously as the head officer, Burton; makes his way over to us.

"Shauna. I am revoking you of your officer duties, immediately. I am going to make sure you rot in that jail cell for the rest of your life." He sneers as she tries to mask her fear.

"When is the trial?" Harry asks fiddling with his hands.

"A week from now. We have a lot of press to cover and I want one of you to film it so we can edit it and release it." "I know a girl who can do all of that..." Harry speaks up just as Burton is leaving.

"What's their name?"

"Lauren; Lauren Haley."

"Well tell her that I need her down here, immediately." Burton walks out of the office as well as the other officers.

"So we just put her in the holding cell in the penitentiary?"

"Yeah, that'll do." I nod as they take her away once again.

"She scares me..." Molly says staring at the door that she just left out of.

"Don't worry, Molly. We have your back if you get into anymore trouble." I say stepping towards her.

"Niall. You know that I'm not ready for a boyfriend." She blantantly states clicking her heels against the floor.

"Who said I wanted to even take you out? I'm being nice."

"Whatever." 

I turn to Harry to say something but quickly shut my mouth when I see him on his phone smiling like an idiot. 

"Who are ya textin'?" I ask walking over to him. I peer over his shoulder and sure enough, he is texting Lauren. I wink to him before he rolls his eyes and goes back to being glued to his phone. 

"Molly!" I call just as she is heading for the door.

"What do you want, Detective Horan?"

"I was wondering if you want to go out to eat; together. By the way, you can call me Niall." I smirk as she shakes her head.

"I'm sorry but if you haven't fucking noticed, Niall; my boyfriend is dead right in there..." She points to Harry's medical room and I instantly cringe. "So if you don't mind, I would like to not be hit on. Thanks. Also, I am still going to call you Detective Horan." She says walking to her car.

Well you can't blame a guy for trying.

AUTHORS NOTE:

Hey everyone! So sorry that this is such a late update :( I had so many things going on this week it was crazy! I still do and school has literally taken over my life, it's sad.

In English I wrote about how I didn't get to go to a "cool kid" party, and my English teacher said, "Same." I can't even.. Lol.

We had region auditions this morning and we had to be there at 8:30AM and I didn't even audition until 11:30 and I got out at around 1:30 :( So... That's why I couldn't update! Anyways, if you didn't know, I play the Violin and I'm in Symphony (The highest group...) So I get really busy at times :(

LOVE YOU ALL! THANK YOU FOR STICKING WITH MY WRITER'S BLOCK

It happens to everyone, don't judge me.
