Payback. Sequel To TMHJ

Chapter seven

Hey guys. Here is chapter seven! Cliffhanger at the end here. I'm sorry, but chapter eight is done, so knowing me you won't have too long to wait. I hope you try to enjoy this chapter. Basically this is where the story goes down hill. I'm sorry, but the boys took control of my fingers. I do love writing when the characters take control. It's just as exciting for me to write as you to read when that happens. Or sad in this case.

Liam didn't care about speed limits. He needed to get to Syco, straight away. It may even be too late. 'No!' Liam yelled at himself in the car. 'Don't think like that! Niall will be fine!' Liam parked his car as close to the entrance he could, wanting to get in there as quick as possible. He almost forgot to lock his car up.

'Liam!' Simon exclaimed as he walked into the waiting room. 'We were literally about to call you.'

Liam rushed to Niall, straight away.

'Did you sort out a house for Niall?'

'I did, actually. He has a new home.'

'Great. You can help him move in, then. Off you go. And remember, Niall...' Simon trailed off at the end of the sentence, looking directly in Niall's eyes. Niall just nodded as he walked to the door. 'Bye! I'll see you tomorrow.'

'What happened?' Liam asked as soon as they were out of the building.

'Nothing,' Niall said, monotoned voice.

'So is that why you're so quiet?' Liam asked, unlocking the car.

'I'm tired, okay?' Niall lied. He wanted to tell the truth about what happened in there, but he was afraid it would happen again. Simon told him not to tell anyone. He hesitated getting in the car, but he knew that would raise suspicions, so he just held his breath and got into the car, holding back a hiss in pain when he sat on his welted ass. He couldn't hide his facial expression, though.

'Niall? What's wrong?' Liam asked, panicked.

'I must have slept on my back wrong,' Niall lied again. 'Does Louis know where my new apartment is?'

'Well, yes. He was with us when I made the purchase over the phone.'

'Are you fucking kidding me? Fuck!' Niall exclaimed, angry.

'Why?' Liam had pulled out of his parking spot now and started driving to Niall's new house.

'Liam, please make him promise on his life he won't come over. If Simon finds out...' Niall trailed off.

'What? What will happen if Simon finds out?'

'Nothing. Just keep driving.'

The rest of the car ride had Liam prying some more, but when he realised Niall wouldn't answer any of his questions, he stopped trying and starting talking about something else. Half the time he would only get one word answers.

'We're here,' Liam announced as he pulled into Niall's new driveway.

'Thank you. Goodbye, Liam,' Niall said as he got out, grabbing keys from the middle console of Liam's car, expecting them to be his keys.

'Wait, don't you want me to come in? Maybe we can try out your new kitchen tonight?'

'No thanks, Liam. Like I said, I am very tired.' Niall struggled to get out of the car and couldn't help a hiss of pain when he finally got out.

'Do you want me to take you to the hospital? That back sounds painful.'

'No thanks, Liam. I'll just sleep it off. Bye.' Niall closed the door and walked slowly to his door. Liam watched his best friend walk to his door. Something happened. He knows it! He pulls his phone out and pulls up Louis' contact. 5 seconds later he is calling him.
