5 Shades of One Direction

Chapter 1: The Chaotic Day

"Does anyone know where Megan is?" I asked annoyed. I glanced down at my watch, it read12:30pm. I shook my head.

"She was supposed to be here at 12:00pm". None knew where she was not had any of them seen her.

It was a very chaotic day at the bank and we were short staffed. As the bank manager, this was a stressful day and it seemed like it had just begun.

"I will go call her, and try to find out where she is". Upon walking into the room where my desk was, I shook my head and mumbled things under my breath. I'm pretty laid back and let it slide when people are late.

But Megan, she is late all the time and when she's not late, she doesn't show. I might have to make the decision and fire her.

I dialed her number and waited. It rang 3 times before going straight to her answering machine. I tried again, no response. I grew very frustrated but knew there was nothing I could do.

Being short staffed, it was my job to open another station. I sat at the only available one left. It was the one right by my desk. I helped a few customers when the doors to our store flung open and in walked 2 gun men.

Customers began screaming & panicking. The guys pointed their guns and moved them from side to side.

"On the ground, all of you, now!!!!!!" the one with a black ski mask shouted.

The other guy had a hat on and a handkerchief that covered his nose and mouth. He walked over to the tellers and myself. Being the manager I fully expected him to force me up to take him to the safe.

Instead, he aimed the gun at us then went over to Chantel who sat at the far end. I held my breath trying to remain calm. The first guy had all the customers on their stomachs, hands zip tied behind their backs.

"Hey there, your a pretty little thing" he said as he touched her shaking hand. She tried to keep quiet but it was hard due to the tears that were falling down her face. He ran his hand up and down her arm.

"Leave her alone!!!!!!" I shouted then suddenly regretted it. He pulled his hand away and made his way over to me. I tried to stand up but when I felt a strong grip on my shoulder, I sat back down.

I gasped, I was staring into the bluest eyes I had ever seen. However, they did not read "nice guy", they read "robber" maybe even "murderer". This I did not want to find out.

"Where you goin' love?" he asked me. "Are you the manager?".

I sat quiet, only cuz no words would come out, no matter how scared I was.

"My partner asked you a question, he expects an answer" the guy with the ski mask said. I turned back to look at those blue eyes again.

"Y-yes I am" I stuttered finally letting the words out of my mouth. It was hard to tell cuz his mouth was covered, but I could have swore he wore a grin underneath that handkerchief.

"Well" he looked down at my name tag. "Jenn, if you don't want anyone to get hurt here you better start keeping your mouth shut". I nodded as he removed his hand from my shoulder.

"Get these people out of here Liam, put them in the storage closet" he said to the guy with the ski mask.

"Get up all of you" he said to the customers. No one moved which enraged this man.

"NOW!!!!!!" he bellowed. They all started moving at once. It didn't take long for the two men to shove them in the storage closet.

"Niall, take them" he said pointing to us, "and tie them up and throw them in the closet too, there's still lots of room". Liam said. He got them tied and up and threw them in with the customers.

As they were throwing Chantel in, I looked around.

'Why didn't they take me?' I wondered. I was caught up in my thoughts while they were gone and I jumped when I felt a gloved hand cover my mouth.

I was about to scream but a sharp knife was at my throat in seconds. My head got pulled back and I heard a gruff voice.

"Make one sound bitch and the only thing you will feel is your throat getting sliced open".

I remained quiet and I kept my crying to a minimum, if that is even possible.

"Now get up!!" I slowly stood.

"Walk in the direction of where all the money is kept" I moved my shaky legs to my office. We entered and I walked over to the safe. I lifted my hand to do the code when it got pushed down by my side.

"By the way, might I suggest you keep your back locked from now on". My eyes went wide, that explains how this man got in.

"Now, open the safe love". I slowly lifted my hand up to the dial. I turned it one way then the next until it opened. Just as it did, the other two came from behind us.

"I'll hold her here, you guys get the money". They hurried and grabbed all the money then decided they would help themselves to my prized possessions that I kept on my desk.

"It's all here, let's go" Niall said.

They shoved me through the doorway and out the front doors. Hand it not been for the gloved hand that still remained on my mouth, you would have heard me gasp.

There, on the ground was Megan in a pool of her own blood.
