The 3 boys walk down a long dark hallway, trying their best to follow a crudely drawn map that Harry have them.
"Thank god Harry actually knows what he's doing," Louis whispers.
      "Yeah. He's like some hacking genius huh!" Niall adds with a smile.
"Finally his strange conspiracy theory/ end-of-the-World- prep has paid off," Louis comments with a snicker.
"Yeah. I just hope he disabled any cameras or anything so they won't even know we're here!" Niall adds.
     "Sh!! Be quiet!!" Liam commands. "This isn't some little kid thing!! This is serious!!" He adds as they turn out of the office space and slowly descend a flight of cement stairs.
     "This Is so cool lads! I feel like we're in a spy movie!!" Nail comments as they creep through a long eerie hallway.
    "Would you shut up??! You are NOT helping!!" Louis mutters as he hits Niall in the back of the head.
"What the fuck!? You want a fight mate?" Niall demands angrily as he turns to face Louis, ready to give him a black eye.
    "Would you be quiet?? Both of you!!" Liam commands gruffly in a harsh whisper. "Don't make me tell you again!" He adds authoritatively.
"Okay daddy," Louis scoffs and rolls his eyes, clearly wanting to argue, but keeps his mouth closed when Liam shoots him a Cold venomous stare.
     10 minutes later, they come across a large open room that opened into 4 different hallways, all leading in different different directions.
      "What the fuck is this!!?" Louis demands suddenly.
     "What do we do now?" Niall asks the question they were all thinking.
       "I have no idea....." Liam admits worriedly, trying to come up with a new plan.
      "Harry never said anything about a split hallway like this...." Louis says.
      "But he was right so far," Niall says.
        "What if the map is a fake?? What if they made it up because they knew Harry would find it and use and we would follow it and they could trap us and catch us easier!! Oh fuck of fuck oh fuck were gonna die... Oh Fuck......." Louis reasons as he slowly starts to hyperventilate, clearly panicking.
     "Hey! Lou! Lou! It's okay!" Liam tells him as he grips tightly to Louis's arms, trying to get him to calm down.
     "I can't die. I-i have a life to live I-" Louis stutters as he shakes his head frantically.
     "No ones going to die. Harry disabled the cameras and security and caused a distraction. There's no guards in patrol and No one even knows we're here. But if you keep this up, they're going to hear you and then we'll really be in trouble, yes?" Liam says as he stares into Louis's cerulean eyes.
     Louis nods and takes a deep long breath, trying to recompose himself.
     "You're right. You're right. I'm okay," he says as he opens his eyes and looks up at Liam with a reassuring nod.
      "Damn you're so strong Liam," Louis comments as he pats Liam's arm with an impressed nod.
      "Uh.....Thank you?" Liam mutters in confusion.
      "Alright Let's do this," Louis says as he looks back to the hallway's multiple openings. After a brief examination, Louis comes up with a plan.
     "So, if I'm right, which... Obviously I always am.... This hallways useless to us," louis says as he points to the far right one.
     "Why'd you say that?" Niall wonders.
      "It's just more office space. The labs wouldn't be there. remember what Harry said? they're down another level," Louis explains. Niall and Liam glance at each other, obviously impressed.
     "And that leaves 3 hallways and look at that. There's 3 of us!" Louis adds.
     "No! We can't split up! We gotta stick together and go in One Direction!! What if something happens to one of us when we're solo?" Niall asks worriedly.
     "We'll be okay. Just stay low and stay out of sight. And remember, we have one hour. So even if you don't find anything, meet out back at our meeting spot when times up, right?" Louis plans.
     "That's good. I like it," Liam approves.
      "Well... I'm taking this hallway," Niall claims as he points to the center one which seemed pretty safe and straightforward.
     "I've got this one," Louis states as he claims the left hallway, leaving Liam with the right one which was very dimly lit and looked terrifying because you couldn't see anything because it cut sharply to the right.
     "Wow guys thanks...." Liam mutters as he walks towards that opening.
      "We got One hour lads. Get Zayn and get out," Niall reminds them. Liam glances at his watch then nods. He had to stay focused. He had to find Zayn. No matter what.
     "Good luck," he tells his friends who both nod and return the gesture.
     "And good plan, Louis," Niall adds.
     "Thanks. I'm Pretty and smart," Louis comments proudly with a smirk  as they walk to their own hallways. That's the last thing Liam hears before he is completely alone in a dimly lit hallway with slowly flickering lights. He turns down a corner and soon finds an open stairwell leading into an even darker hallway below. His heart was beating faster and he wanted to turn back. But he had to keep going. Had to find Zayn.
     The only sound he could hear were his footsteps and the echoes they made on the dirty, worn down metal stairs disrupting the dead silence.
     At the end of the staircase was a door which he pushed open to find another hallway. As he stepped through the doorway, lights slowly started to flick on, illuminating a long white hallway that seemed to stretch on for miles.
     Liam's breath catches in his throat and he wanted more than anything to turn around and go back, but the thought of Zayn being close pushes him forward. He had to keep going. He had to find Zayn....
      He had no idea where this new hallway went, but he just hoped and prayed it wouldn't lead him right into the hands of Zayn's captors.
      He continues down the hallway for what seemed like hours until he finally saw a lonely white door with the numbers 42 engraved in it.

I've realized that now this is just a huge allegory for 1D and I'm kinda low key crying.

Zayn's gone,

Louis and Liam want to split up but Niall's trying his hardest to keep the band together

Louis and Zayn don't really like each other that much,

They all go their separate ways (break up but they gotta come back together some time :)

Why am I doing this to myself??
