"Tell me more." I demand while Louis continues to drive on the highway.

"It's not my story to tell." He shrugs.

My jaw tightens, and I can't help the grunt that leaves my throat.

"Just ask him yourself." He suggests with an elongated sigh.

"Well I have hours till I can. Plus, it's going to be bugging my the whole entire trip now. Thanks." I spit at him.

He knows it'll drive me crazy. Thoughts of Niall touching someone besides me. Someone who was kidnapped...just like me.

I shiver in disgust.

I only ever hurt one other girl.

I keep replaying Niall's words in my head.

Did he hurt her after they had sex?

Is he going to hurt me?

"Look. Don't go ballistic here. Did you expect Niall to have a clean slate? He does kidnap girls for a living." He rolls his eyes and laughs at me.

"Why don't you stop talking about him like he's worthless? You aren't any better. If anything, you're worse." I clench my teeth and return my eyes to the road.

"You're pathetic." His voice a whisper, but loud enough for me to hear. Somehow I'm pretty sure he planned it that way.

Even coming from such a meaningless person, the words still hurt. They still sting, because I know he's right.

"If I'm pathetic, what does that make you? What does that make any of you?" I sniffle as my nose becomes stuffed.

He doesn't respond, but he just stays there. Unmoving, like a statue. If it wasn't for his chest slowly rising and falling, I swear he was stone.

The rest of the trip was in silence.

"We're here." Louis says without giving me as much as a glance.

"Where's here?" I question, but yet again, no answer.

He just quickly swerves in the parking lot and parks the car.

"What, no valet?" I sarcastically ask and am somewhat relieved that the hotel isn't so fancy like the rest.

Well, actually it's not even a hotel at all. It looks like a small little town. Filled with many small wooden cabins.

"Not this time." His voice weak.

He hops out of the black SUV and takes my bags, which slightly surprises me.

I follow him to a cabin that, from the inside, is probably the size of my whole house.

Given I did live in a cheap, 900 square foot house which barley had a backyard.

He takes me to my room and sets my bags on the floor,

"Here's your room." He looks me in the eyes than returns them to the floor.

He looks around the room and the awkwardness begins to the fill the air.

He looks up at me once again and begins to leave the room.

"Wait." I halt him.

He stops on his heels and turns to me,

"What?"

"Who am I rooming with?"

His eyes once smooth begin to harden.

"Harry." He clears throat and begins to walk away again.

Before he closes the door behind him, he turns and looks at me again with pleading eyes.

"He won't hurt you. I promise." He gives me a half smile than officially walks out of the cabin.

His words don't bring any relief to my beating heart.

I stand there panting...

"Well, hello there." I hear a familiar low voice approach me.

My eyes snap up, and I see the man who haunts my dreams and my reality.

"What, no hello back?" He questions with a slight giggle.

"Go to hell." I growl at him and clench my fists.

"Okay, well that's a start." He smirks at me and begins to drop his bags near my bed.
