"Wipe that look off your face..." He says to me moments later. I stare back at him not saying anything. "I didn't sleep with him, simply got drunk with a lad of mine...a lad I may have fucked on many occasions. Before you of course" He slips the last part in and I feel like I could throw up. I turn around going upstairs leaving him to sit there. How could he say something like that to me. Knowing that if the roles were reversed he would be beyond furious. 

I go into the bedroom shutting the door gently pressing my forehead against it letting a few strangled sobs out. This day is just getting worse and worse. I give myself a few more minutes before I pull myself together and pack a bag. I refuse to stay here if Harry is going to act like this. I throw the bag over my shoulder before jogging back down the steps. 

"Where are you going?" Harry asks from his same seat on the couch. 

"Zayn's" I answer not even sure if that's the place I wanted to go. I doubt that's where I'm going to end up, but I only said it knowing it would piss Harry off. I walk out of the house seeing Taylor pull up. For a moment I think that he's coming for Harry but his eyes connect with mine and I know he's here for me. I walk to the car getting inside and he stays quiet. For a moment I wonder if he knows. If he knows that there's a chance I could be raising hid unborn child. By myself. 

For a while I stare out the window before getting a call. My heart hopes that it's Harry but I know that it's not him. I look down at my phone seeing an unknown number. I raise an eyebrow before answering the phone. 

"Hello..." I mutter

"Niall" I hear the sound of Amelia on the other end of the phone. She sounds as if she's been crying for a sometime. 

"What's wrong? Are you okay" 

"Help..." The word slips through the phone before the line goes dead. Before I can think about anything else my phone beeps and I see a text message with an address on it. I tell Taylor to take me to Liam's knowing that if I ask him to pull over he'll follow me. Once we get there I assure him that I'll be fine without a driver for the night and go inside.

I thank god that Liam isn't home and grab a piece of paper writing down the address placing it on the wall knowing that if anything happened Liam would find me. I peak back outside seeing the car is gone and jog down the steps hailing down a cab. Once one finally stops I get in reading off the address to him. He nods and I sit back in my seat feeling my leg twitch. For a moment I think about texting Harry about this. I know I should. I know that he would be pissed if I didn't. 

But I don't. 

The cab pulls into the parking lot of an abandoned factory of some sort and I get out paying him. He drives off and I walk towards what seems to be an entrance. I take a few deep breaths before reaching for the door handle, just before I feel a blunt object hit me in the back of the head causing everything to go black.  

When I come to I can feel that my arms have been tied behind me. My vision clears a bit and I can feel that the back of my head is bleeding. I can see Amelia sitting across the room with tape over her mouth for a moment I wonder why my mouth isn't taped and I see two figures step out of the shadows. One I recognize to be Jack and the other a woman that I don't know.

"Niall long time no see" Jack bends down in front of me placing his hand against my cheek. "Still just as beautiful as I remember" I move my face away from him and he smiles. "It's taken so much work to get here...but the time has come" 

"What do you want..." 

"Well first off I would like to say that I'm a little disappointed that I didn't get an invitation to the wedding..." He lifts my hand inspecting the ring on my finger.  "Wonder how much he dropped on that one...You're quite spoiled Niall" 

Not by choice I think. "I asked you what you want" 

"Ah yes, I want money...5 million to be exact." He reaches into my pocket grabbing my t. "Now we're gonna call hubby. Since I'm sure he's worried sick about his little Niall" My eyes widen and I know that this won't end well if Harry gets involved. I shake my head know and Jack tilts his head at me. "Then Mia you know what to do" I watch as she reaches for a gun pointing it at Amelia's head.

"No!" I scream and she stops. "I can get the money...Just don't hurt her. I can get the money myself. Harry doesn't have to be involved...just let her go..." Jack thinks about what I've offered but shakes his head no. 

"We won't kill her...just get the money" I nod and the ties from around my wrist have been cut. I move my wrists a little seeing bruises already starting to form. I go into Harry and I's joint bank account transferring the money into my account. I fear that since it's such a large amount Harry will be notified, I just don't want him hurt. No matter how angry I am at him. I don't want anything happening to him. 

I feel something drip onto the back of my neck and I can feel that the back of my head is still bleeding. I'm starting to get light headed but I fight through it. I can't black out with Amelia here. I have to think of a way to get us out of here. 

"To get the money...we'd have to go to the bank..." 

"We can't do that..." Jack looks at me as if he's the one being held a gunpoint. 

"Well there's nothing else I can do" 

"Call Harry" I think about saying no again but I don't want to put Amelia at risk. I nod dialing Harry's number placing the phone to my ear. He picks up after a few rings. 

"What Niall" He sighs into the phone and for a moment I think about hanging up but Jack takes the phone from me before I can say anything to him. 

"Styles ol pal, I've missed you mate" Jack smiles before turning on the speaker.

"You son of a bitch, if you hurt him..." 

"I got your little sister to mate..." 

"What do you want. Don't hurt them" I can tell that Harry is only keeping his cool to get us out of here as safely as he can. 

"5 million in cash...I'll text you a drop off point and have someone pick it up. No guards no cops or both your pretty little sister and Niall are dead." I look over at Amelia who is staring at Mia. Jack takes off the speaker and walks around talking for a while before hanging up. He texts something on my phone before turning to Mia. "Take this" He hands her my phone. "Go to the drop off" 

She nods not saying anything else before leaving. 

Now there's 3 of us. 

Me. 

Amelia.

And Jack.

And I just so happen to not have my hands tied anymore.
