Loneliness H.S

Chapter Forty Six

"Would you mind covering me for an hour? I promised my aunt that I would pick up my cousin from kindergarten today." Davina asks while she drags me towards the cash register. I guess it really doesn't matter what my answer would have been.

"I can do that if you get someone to cover for me." I say reminding her that I to have a job that needs to be done as well. She just nods her head as if saying she will take care of it before walking away.

I wasn't surprised at the amount of costumers that came by. We are very well placed for a small restaurant, and our food does look very tempting. The door bell rings making me look up at the next costumer. What catches my eye about him is the big hat on his head hiding his face.

He walks up to the counter, and lift his head making his eyes meet mine. They are almost black, but not completely. He doesn't say anything so I take it upon myself to do so. "What can I get for you today?" I ask with a friendly smile.

"I'm not here to order anything." He says with a stern look. I am about to ask what he is doing here then, but he cuts me off. "You need to gather your friends, and meet me at my apartment as soon as possible." He hands me a note most likely with his address on before he starts to walk away slowly.

I ask him to stop making him turn around to look at me. "Why would we do that?" I ask curious as to why he thinks we would come home to a stranger just because he asked us to.

"Because I know who has the necklace, and I also know something that might be of interest to you." The corners of his lips lifts into a cruel smile before he disappears out the door.

Shocked I stand here for a short moment before I text everyone to meet me at a park near the guy's apartment right now, and asks someone to cover for me before I run out the door.

"Where are we going?" Alexandra asks while she blows at her hands to try and keep the warmth in them. Surprisingly everyone showed up almost right away, no questions asked until now that is. When they came I just started walking towards the guy's apartment knowing it isn't far away.

"A man came to my work today and told me to bring you guys to his apartment as soon as possible." I briefly explain. Harry is walking quietly next to me with his brows furrowed in confusion. I take a hold of his hand before bringing it to my lips to plant a soft kiss on it. He looks at me, and send me a small smile.

"And why would you take us to a random dude's apartment?" Niall asks now not really getting a good feeling from this it seems. Louis, and Athena nods in agreement not seeing how I would do something someone told me without asking why.

I stop and turn around to face everyone. "Because I have never met him, and yet he knew that my necklace has gone missing, and he said he knows who has it. He also said he knows something that might be interesting to me, so we are going." They all nod not really needing to know anything else.

Minuts later we find ourself outside his apartment. I lean forward, and am about to knock when the door just bursts open revealing the same man from earlier. All of us jump back a little surprised from the sudden action.

"Come in." He says stepping out of our way before allowing us to walk into his apartment. There is barely any light in here, but it's not so dark we can't see anything. He walks up to a table, so we follow him and gather around it ready to hear what he knows, but he doesn't say anything.

"Okay, listen, mate. You have managed to freak us all out, so you better tell us what you know." Louis says fed up with all the waiting. "Who has the necklace?"

The man nods slowly before clearing his throat. "Your friends Liam, and Zayn has it, but I assume you already have figured that out. However why is the reason I wanted to talk to you. They are planning to remove Mina's memories from it to make sure Harry will never be happy."
