kidnapped by one direction

chapter 4

I feel weak. My body feels as if there is an enormous slab of stone on top of me making it hard for me to breathe. It was slowly suffocating me and it felt as if my time was limited.

Thud...Thud...Thud...Thud

I think that is my heartbeat...Dying. It sounds like it's in another room though and I'm eavestropping on it, it's muffled. 

I can't feel anything but i know i'm there. What happened anyway? Who am i? Oh yes, i'm Stephanie Ivy, senior 6th formerin the City of London high school. Oh yes and i was given another chance at Oxford uni today- was it today or yesterday? Oh well i guess i'll find out.... Why am i here anyway? Actually where am i? In my head? I'll save that for later too i guess. I think i should just keep doing.... Whatever i was doing....

Stranger 3's POV

"GUY'S SHE'S MOVING SHE'S WAKING UP!" Multiple thundering footsteps pounded upstairs into my room as they crowded around the stirring girl lying like snow white in my bed. They peered at her face and stared at her expectantly. I took a note that Zayn was the only one that wasn't there. Oh well, he probably just wants to keep sleeping.

"Hey stay back, we don't want to overwhelm her do we?"Then, extremely slowly but it was still happening, she began to open her eyes but then they just shut again. "No, no, no keep your eyes open don't shut them." i whispered with my heart pumping. Please let her be okay.

Stephanie's POV

My eyes lids felt like chalk against a blackboard and every pull it took for my lids to open felt like a marathon, i f desperately wanted to give up right there but there was a part of me that made me want to carry on. In the end i managed to make out some blurry outlines of what looked like a human. 

"No,no,no keep your eyes open,don't shut them!" Somebody said. Although i couldn't see his face, i could hear it in his voice that he was for some reason... Upset? "Please stay awake, don't die!" 

So i'm dying...

Okaaay...

Great...

"I'm not dead you stupid idiot." I mumbled as my sight finally cleared, but just to be blinded again by an awfully bright light,

"YES SHE SPOKE!" The same voice shouted followed by a few cheers. My head pounded,

"Owww!!! Don't shout! And somebody turn the lights off!"

"ERR, LOVE, NOBODY'S SHOUTING..." 

"Ow ow ow ow OW!!! What part of STOP SHOUTING don't you understand? Geez people these days!" I tutted to the strangers.

"Dang she's sassier than you Lou..." A new voice murmered,

"Um, is this alright, babe?" Another voice said. Finally! Someone who can actually talk!

"Yeah... Thanks... Could you possibly turn the lights off please?" 

"Um okaaay... Li, shut the curtains. Is that any better?" 

Yeah. Thanks. Blimey, i can see again!" I sighed and took my hand away from my eyes and boy was i surprised!

"What. The . Hell?! You're one direction!" I was definately awake now!

"Yeah, do you know us?"Liam replied,

"Well, yeah i haven't been living under a rock all my life!" I said rolling my eyes and letting the inner sass come out and hoping I didn't look like a total idiot. As long as I keep my cool I'll be fine! I hope...

"Sorry, he didn't mean it like that. he just didn't know what to say. Anyway, what's your name love? You're being quite freindly to us considering you don't actually know us!" Niall said. Damn his accent's even cuter in real life! 

"I don't even know why i haven't freaked yet so don't ask me! My name's Steph. Steph Ivy." I replied with a slight grin. "This isn't my room is it..." I said confusion lacing my voice.

"No its not. This is my room!" Louis chirped

"And why am i in your room?" 

"Ummmm..." The tension that covered the room was deafening.

"What exactly do you remember from the last time you were awake?" Niall asked cautiously,

"THAT'S IT! I REMEMBER!" I shouted shooting up from the bed momentarily scaring the hell out of the boys. Ha ha! "I was let off school early to think about my scholarship to oxfo-"I froze. The boys froze.

"Why aren't we moving?"Harry whispered. 

"Because Steph's not moving."Lou whispered back.

"Why isn't Steph moving?"Harry asked.

"I don't know."Louis replied starting to get annoyed,

"Why don't you ask her then?" Harry asked again, flippin' hell he asks a lot of questions!

"Because i don't want to."Louis answered back sounding slightly annoyed.

"Okay i'll ask her then. Steph why aren't you moving?" 

"What day is it?" I asked faintly,

"The 23rd, why?" 

"YES IT'S NEARLY MY BIRTHDAY!!!" Me and Louis shouted simultaneously, for a moment i forgot what happened and celebrated with Louis.

"Really?! When's your birthday?" Louis asked, i could see him mentally noting down what i said even before i had even said anything,

"The same day as yours!" I told him excitedly. I saw a trace of shock and alarm on is face as i revealed my birthday to him. Suddenly, i remembered the reason as to why i had asked for the date.

"Oh damn this stupid lump of a world!" I cursed suddenly getting really moody,

"What? Why?!" Louis frowned his eyes almost popping out of his head.

"Dayang it! Why am i even here anyway? I mean i appreciate the fact that i was saved by international superstars and that, but i need to know how i got here, how long i've been here and where i actually am!" I snapped. A wave of confused and panic flitted through the room from one boy to the other until Harry spoke up.

"Um, you're in our house on the upper country-sidey bit of London.  Err, we drove you here in my range rover. You've been asleep for approximately 3 days coz it's around 8 in the morning right now..." Oh damn. I was right...

I'm doomed... Now i'll never get into Oxford! I should have told Miss that i wanted to go instead of trying to keep up my stupid reputationof being mysterious!

"Err, Steph? What's wrong?" Harry asked nervously,  "Babe, are you okay?"

"Look, don't call me 'babe'! I'm not very happy right now.  I just missed out on the opportunity to go to the uni of my dreams! If you were in my position i'm pretty sure you wouldn't be skipping with joy!" I said, sarcasm dripping off my tongue like ice. Well that shut them up!

"You know that's not even the worst part! I don't even know why i missed out on the chance!" I looked at them, signalling to them that this was the time to be telling me why I was here.

"Um basically Harryhadacrushonyoubutdidn'thavetegutstotellyousowekidnappedyou..."Liam rambled.

"What?! Say that again slower though, and you better hope my ears are playing tricks on me!" I warned. But if my ears weren't playing games with me then... Let's put it like this, even i would feel sorry for them!

Shooting Harry an apologetic look, Liam mumbled mega quietly,

"Harry had a crush on you so, um, we... Basically we k...n....d you..." He said looking at the floor. The rest of the boys were looking at anything but me.

"Look, i heard most of what you said but what did do to me?"I said through gritted teeth.

"We ....... you..." By now Harry had shuffled awkwardly out if the room, blushing furiously.

"You what?!"

"WE KIDNAPPED YOU OKAY!" Niall yelled.
