Hi guyyyys. How was your Thanksgiving? Mine was great thanks for asking! As always, thanks for reading/voting/commenting/enjoying (i hope).

*Harry's Pov*

"Harry! Harry are you in there?!" Wow can a guy take a piss without having the living shit scared out of him? "Harry! Come out here please!" An angry but still polite voice yelled.

I only know two people who can be stern yet polite at the same time, and since I know it wasn't my brother who was calling me, it could only be one other guy.

"What do you want Liam, I'm kind of in the middle of something right now!" I call back. To say I'm annoyed is an understatement. I was trying to pee really quickly so that I could get back to Jade.

Oh, Jade is the girl of my dreams by the way. She has caramel colored skin, and long, brown hair. She has big brown eyes that I just want to stare into and lips that I-

Liam banged on the door harshly breaking me out of my daydream. God what does he want?! I flushed the toilet quickly, and washed my hands.

"Okay so what is so damn important?" I raised my eyebrows quizzically after swinging the door open.

"You need to come with me." He stated calmly.

"Uhm...where?" He sounded like some kind of serial killer...or an undercover spy. Either way he sounded weird. Really weird.

"I'll tell you on the way, let's go!" He tugged on my wrist until I followed him willingly. I guess this is important. I'll just have to catch Jade another time I guess...

We hurried to his truck and shuffled inside both slamming the doors. Liam immediately started the car and raced down the road. Is he in a hurry or what?

"Late for something?" I ask with a deep smirk on my face, but it falls when I turn to Liam. He was shaking with obvious anger, and something else but I can't tell what. Disappointment? Sadness? Either way dude is pissed.

"I just...That asshole...How...I can't wait to...Ugh!" He banged his hands on the steering wheel. Woah okay...

"Dude? Li are you okay man? What is going on?" I ask gently. This is no time to be a cheeky douche bag.

He stopped the car and ran a hand through his styled hair. He was taking deep breaths, probably trying to compose himself, and I rested a hand on his shoulder. He tensed a little, but leaned into my touch eventually.

"Are you okay?" I try again. He just looks at me with a blank face before stating in an even tone," We're here."

I looked up to see we were in an all too familiar driveway. Oh God. Before I could reply Liam jumped out of the car and ran up to the door. He banged roughly on the front door. I stood on the step behind him.

Luckily Johanna was at work so Liam wouldn't be waking her up, but I hope he didn't scare the girls.

A very worried looking teenage girl with wide blue eyes came to the door and opened it hesitantly. She relaxed when she recognized Liam and I.

"Oh hey guys. You scared me half to the death."

"Hello. Where is your brother?"

"Not here." She pulled out her phone, looking bored with this whole ordeal.

Liam took a deep breath as he tried to remain calm. "And where is he Lottie?"

She rolled her eyes and shivered from the cold. I would give her my coat but I had the feeling we were about to go on manhunt.
