Dark (A Louis Tomlinson story.)

Chapter 46- Panic

Amanda's POV

After Louis took Harry Niall literally had to drag me back to his house which wasn't easy for him to do. I was screaming, crying, kicking, and calling for Harry. Harry is my best friend and he has been my best friend for a long time. It killed me knowing he was being hurt and there was nothing I could do about it. Niall kept telling me Louis was too dangerous, we would get Harry the next morning, Harry would be fine but it still hurt knowing Harry could be hurt badly for all I know. Niall wanted to make sure I wouldn't run away so he locked both him and I inside one of the top floor rooms of his house.

I had been laying in bed for awhile now waiting for Niall to wake up. It had been an hour or so that I have been waiting for him to get up and I was running out of patience. Every second spent at Niall's house meant another second Harry could be getting hurt. I finally couldn't take it anymore, we had to leave. I grapsed Niall's shoulder and shook him until he woke up.

"What?" He mumbled quietly with a raspy voice as he sat up rubbing his eyes so he could see me.

"You said we could go find Harry in the morning and it is morning. Come on, lets go." I said.

Without waiting for him to say another word I grabbed his hands and tried to pull him up out of the bed. Instead of pulling him up he intwined our fingers and pulled me down towards him causing me to land on top of him. He grinned up at me tiredly.

"You're beautiful." He mumbled pushing a strand of hair out of my face and tucking it behind my ear.

"Come on we have to-" I was cut off by Niall pressing his lips against mine.

We laid on the bed kissing for a few moments before I finally pulled away and stood up quickly. Niall just looked at me, a small frown falling upon his face. I shook my head as he motioned for me to come back to him. It was just not the right time to kiss him, we weren't dating and we had to help Harry.

"We have to go Niall, we have to find Harry." I said.

"Fine, lets go." He said as he stood up. 

He unlocked the door and I was instantly running into the hallway and down the stairs. I slipped on my jacket and sneakers as he pulled on his jacket and sneakers. He grabbed his keys off the counter and walked outside to his car. He got into the drivers seat and turned the car on as I slid into the passenger seat shutting the door behind me.

"Where do you think Louis took him?" I asked Niall as I buckled my seatbelt.

"Uhm, I would guess he brought him to his house so we should check it out first." Niall replied as he backed out of his driveway.

He drove down the road as I stared out the window tapping my fingers on my knee nervously. What if they weren't there? What if Harry was really hurt? What if Louis gave him to somebody else? What if he was dead? What if Louis killed him? I hadn't realized how panicked I was until I heard Niall.

"Amanda, calm down." He said pulling the car over to the side of the road. "Amanda, calm down." He repeated a little louder.

I was breathing heavy, almost gasping for air. My heart was beating fast, it was skipping beats sometimes, it felt like it was going to jump out of my chest and land on the floor of the car. I first noticed my hands were shaking but then I soon realized my whole body was shaking. I felt cold sweat trickle down my face mixing with tears that were rolling down my cheeks uncontrollably. I suddenly felt like I was choking and I began shaking more and crying even harder.

"Amanda, stop, it'll be okay!" Niall was now yelling. He didn't realize I was having a panic attack and yelling just makes it worse.

I pressed my head against the cold window of the car and clutched my throat with my shaking hand. I shut my eyes tightly and tried to ignore Niall yelling at me as I tried to start counting to fifty. Sometimes counting helped me calm down and stop but sometimes it didn't. After awhile of Niall's yelling, me gasping for breath, and counting I slowly started to feel better. I took my hand away from my throat as my breathing finally returned to normal. I turned my head to look at Niall who was looking at me with wide eyes.

"Are you okay?" He asked worriedly.

"Next time that happens don't yell, talk quietly and calmly to me." I said ignoring his question.

As soon as we arrived at the house of Louis I jumped out of the car and ran inside the house quickly followed by Niall. Niall held a finger to his lips as a way to tell me to be quiet. He pointed to the floor and then to a door. I was extremely confused at first but then I realized he wanted us to check the basement when he opened the door and walked down the stairs. I followed him into a room with plain white walls and that's when I saw it, two large and bloody handprints on the wall, it was definitely Harry who had left those handprints. A small squeak escaped my lips, Harry wasn't there anymore. What if Louis killed him?

I suddenly felt two arms wrap around me and pull me into a dark room before the door shut again. Niall was too busy examining the handprints to notice what had happened. I didn't say anything because I thought it was Harry who grabbed me. He was being so gentle and it couldn't have been Louis who had grabbed me, he is always so rough. I heard Niall call my name and I was about to say something but before I could Harry shushed me and placed a finger to my lips to keep my quiet. I wasn't sure why he wanted me to be quiet but he had to have a reason. Harry wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me into his body. I placed my hands on top of his as we stood there quietly. Harry and I had the sort of friendship where everyone thought we were dating because we were so close so this wasn't weird at all. I listened as Niall called my name a few more times before his footsteps descended, he must've ran up the stairs looking for me.

"Why did you want me to be quiet?" I asked Harry.

I waited patiently but the only reply I got from him was him shushing me once again. He was acting weirdly but I guess I would be acting rather strange if I was kidnapped so I just shrugged it off. I heard a car start outside and speed away which I instantly knew was Niall because his car was the only one parked in the driveway. Harry finally turned on the light to the room and I instantly turned around to look at him, cupping his face with my hands to make sure he was okay. A scream escaped my lips as I jumped backwards. It wasn't Harry who had pulled me into the room, it was Louis.

A smile tugged at his lips as he looked at me. "I missed you Amanda." He mumbled. He grabbed my wrists lightly and pulled me towards him and into a hug. "I missed you so much."

"L-Louis, pl-please let me go." I choked on my words as I shut my eyes tightly.

He pulled away from the hug and held me an arms length away as he looked at me his eyes suddenly becoming glossy with tears which he refused to let roll down his face. "You really don't remember me?" He asked. When I just shook my head he said, "you really are scared of me, aren't you?"

I didn't want to reply, I didn't want him to get mad at me and hurt me so I just dropped my gaze to the floor, the sneakers on my feet suddenly becoming interesting. Louis put his finger under my chin and lifted my head up so I would look at him. A few tears rolled down my cheeks as I looked at him.

"Amanda, please don't be afraid of me, I'm not going to hurt you, I just want you to remember me." He said, his voice cracking slightly as a few tears escaped his eyes. He wiped my tears  away with the pad of his thumb as he pulled me into another hug and whispered, "please don't be afraid of me."
