----------------------------------------------------------
Today started off a good a day as any. Niall and I are in the kitchen finishing lunch. Harry is in his room skyping Louis, I think. It's currently the second week of December. Niall and I decided that we're going to spend Christmas in Ireland with his family. I'm really excited, yet really scared at the same time to meet his parents. I mean what if they don't like me? I mean their youngest son get kidnapped because of me. "You okay, Sar?" Niall says snapping me out of my thoughts. "Yea, just thinking about meeting your parents. I'm really nervous but also really excited," I say putting my napkin on my plate. I'd get up to put it in the sink, but I'm to lazy to do that right now. "Trust me, you have nothing to be nervous about. My parents will love you. My mum hasn't stopped saying how excited she is to meet you ever since I told my parents that you're coming with me to visit," he says. "You never know, I could somehow find a way to make your mom hate me. Just from the fact that I had you kidnapped is enough for her to hate me," I say. "My mum doesn't hate you. She was a little upset at first once we got out, but she understands now that it wasn't your fault. You have nothing to worry about," he says. I take a deep breathe. Niall gets up and takes our plates to the sink as my phone goes off. "I'll be right back, Ni," I say picking up my phone. "Okay," Niall says as I leave the room. "Hello?" I say answering the phone. "If you ever want to see your little sister alive, go to that special tree of yours with Louis in Central Park at 2 today. Bring Harold with you. No one else," a familiar voice says. "Alvin? What are you going to do with Kathy?" I ask worried. The person on the other end hangs up. I go back into the kitchen as I look at my phone confused. "Who was that?" Niall asks once I get into the kitchen. I look up at him and say, "I think that was Alvin. He said to go to Central Park at 2 today and to bring Harry only if I ever want to see Kathy alive again. I have to go tell Harry." I have Niall follow me to Harry's room. I knock on his door and here a come in. I open his door and see him still skyping Louis. Niall and I come in. "I'll call you back, Lou," Harry says. "Alright. I love you," I hear Louis say. "I love you too," Harry says before closing his laptop. They're so cute together. I absolutely love them together. "What's up?" Harry asks. "I just got a call from Alvin," I say. "You did? What did he say?" Harry asks. "He said that if I ever want to see Kathy alive to go to Central Park at 2 today. He said to only bring you and no one else," I say. "This can not be good. What time is it now?" Harry says. "1:35," Niall says. "Fuck, let me get a jacket and we can go," Harry says. "Alright, we'll be in the kitchen," I say. Niall and I go into the kitchen to wait for Harry. I put on my jacket that's on the chair as I say, "I really hope we all make it out of this alive." "So do I," Niall says. "Alright, we can go," Harry says coming into the kitchen. I hug Niall before kissing him. "Please stay safe and call me as soon as you get out of there," Niall says when we pull out of the kiss. "I will. I'm going to call the police as soon as we get into Central Park," I say. Harry and I head to the car. I look down at my engagement ring as we pull out of the drive way. "You know we're going to make it out of this, right?" Harry says. "I know, I just can't stop thinking of what Alvin and Tiffany want. They can't just let Kathy go without a reason," I say. "Maybe they decided that enough is enough," he says. "I wish that was true," I say. When we get to Central Park, I pull out my phone. I dial 911 and put the phone up to my ear as we get out of the car. "911, what's your emergency?" a female voice asks. "The kidnappers of Kathleen Ballard are here. They told me and my brother to go to Central Park by the lake if we want to see her again. They told us to be here by 2 today," I say. "Okay, ma'am. Kathleen Ballard was the one who is kidnapped?" the lady asks. "Yes, she's an 11 year old girl. She went missing in London," I say. "Okay, the police are on their way. Please, do not confront the kidnappers. Wait until police arrive," the lady says. "If they hear the sirens they'll shoot her. We have to go in there," I say. "Ma'am please, wait for the police to get there. They will be there soon," the lady says. I hear the sirens in the distances. "Shit," I whisper. I hang up the phone and put it in my back pocket. I grab Harry's wrist and drag him to where Alvin and Tiffany want to meet us. We slow down from a run to a walk as we get closer. I drop Harry's wrist as I spot Alvin and Tiffany with Kathy. We go over to them. Kathy's head turns toward us as we get closer. "Sarah!" Kathy says. She looks terrible. Just by her face, you can tell she has been fed properly. She has makeup clearly on her face to cover up the brusies. Tiffany definitely did that. "We're here. Now give us our sister back," I say once we get over to them. I cross my arms. "Not so fast. We have some conditions," Alvin says. Tiffany is holding Kathy back, but trying to make it look normal. Like they don't have an 11 year old girl hostage. "Like what?" Harry asks. Tiffany and Alvin look at each other then back at me. "We'll let Kathleen go, if you come with us," Tiffany says looking at me. Alvin is looking straight into my eyes and for a second, I think I see the old Alvin back. The Alvin I once loved. Before anyone can say anything, we hear sirens get closer. "You called the fucking police?!" Alvin screams at me. "I did no such thing!" I scream back. "Well, we didn't!" Alvin screams. "I am not going back to prison," Tiffany says. "And you won't," Alvin says to her. "Alvin, we're going to jail no matter what! We have to do what Linda told us to do," Tiffany says. "What's that exactly?" I ask. "This," Alvin says. He pulls out a gun. Before Harry or I can do anything, Alvin shoots Kathy square in the chest. Tiffany lets Kathy drop to the floor. "No!" I scream. Harry and I go over to Kathy and put her in my lap. "Kathy, stay with us," I say tears streaming down. "I love you, Sarahie and Harry. Tell Louis I love him as well," Kathy says. "You'll get to see him again, Kathy. Just stay with us," I say crying. Kathy's head goes back and she stops moving. "Kathy? Kathy!" I say. No, Kathy didn't die. She's just unconcious. "You fucking monster!" I scream standing up. Harry is still kneeling next to Kathy's lifeless body. Tiffany pulls out a gun and aims it at Harry. Harry stands up with his hands in the air. "Whoa there, put the gun down," Harry says. "I've been waiting to do this for so long," Tiffany says. She smirks at me as she aims for Harry's chest. I lunge at her, but it's to late. Tiffany already shot the gun, hitting Harry's stomach. Harry falls to the ground. "Harry!" I scream. I go over to Harry as I hear people running towards us. "Harry, oh my god," I say. "I love you, Sarah. You're the best little sister a person could ask for," Harry says. "I love you too, Harry. You have to stay with me, please," I say. I'm full on crying right now. "I'm not going anywhere," he says pushing a smile on his face. Harry's eyes close and he stops moving. I can feel him breathing since I have my hands on his stomach to stop the bleeding. "Harry? Harry, no. Please, wake up," I say crying. I'm to busy crying and focusing on Harry to notice that Alvin and Tiffany have been arrested. I feel someone put there hands on my arms. "Ma'am, come with me," I hear a female voice say. "No, I can't leave him," I cry out. The lady starts pulling me away from Harry as perimedics put Harry on a gurney. "No, Harry! Let me go!" I scream. I try getting out of the lady's grasp, but give up shortly. The lady guides me back to where the ambulences and police cars are. "Sit here," the lady says sitting me on a bench near the ambulence. Perimedics start examing me. "Is there anyone you would like me to call?" The police officer asks. "My fiancé," I say. I give the female police officer Niall's number. She leaves to go call him. As the perimedics exam me, a familiar older man comes over to me. "Hello, Sarah. I'm Officer Smith, Maya's father," the man says. "Oh, hi sir," I say. "Do you mind if I ask you some questions?" He asks. "Not at all," I say. He sits next to me as the perimedics leave after saying I'm fine. "I'm so sorry about your sister and brother," Officer Smith says. "Thank you, sir," I say. "I was informed yoy got a call from Mr. Jackson. Can you tell me what he said in the call?" he says. "It was an unknown number, but I recongized the voice. Alvin's exact words were, 'if you ever want to see your little sister alive, go to that special tree of yours with Louis in Central Park at 2 today. Bring Harold with you. No one else,'" I say. "So he was planning to do something?" Officer Smith says more as a question. "Tiffany and Alvin had orders from my mother," I say. "Orders? What kind of orders?" He asks in shock. "I went to go visit my parents in there prison to get some answers out of them. My mother told me that she gave Tiffany and Alvin specific instructions on what to do. Her goal was for me to go back to Alvin. He knew what to do from there. I ended up figuring out that Alvin and Tiffany were ordered to make me as miserable as possible, killing off every sibling and best friends I have, and my fiancé. Alvin probably wanted me to go back to him and just torture me the rest of my life," I say. "I will make sure we get out what those orders exactly were," he says. Officer Smith asks me a few more questions before getting up to leave. "Officer Smith," I say catching his attention. "Yes, Sarah?" Officer Smith asks turning towards me. "Can you tell Maya about Harry and Kathy for me and tell her to tell Alyssa and Jake for me?" I ask. "Of course," he says. Officer Smith walks away as Niall comes running over to me. I stand up and go over to him. I immediately hug him. He wraps his arms around me. "Come on, let's go check on Harry," Niall says. We end up taking the car Niall drove here and leaving Harry's car behind. We'll deal with getting his car later. Right now, all I can think about is Kathy being dead and wondering if Harry is alright. Once Niall parks the car, I run inside with Niall close behind me. "My brother, he was taken in here by an ambulence with a gun shoot wound to the stomach," I say to the nurse behind the desk. "What's his name?" the lady asks. "Harry Styles," I say. If the lady knows who Harry is, she doesn't show it. "He was sent into surgery as soon as he got here. You can wait in the waiting room. I'll inform his doctor to come tell you when the surgery is done," the lady says. "Thank you," I say. Niall and I go into the waiting room. I sit down and put my head in my hands. I feel a hand go on my back a few seconds later. "He's going to be okay," I hear an Irish accent say, Niall. I look up at Niall. "What if he isn't okay? What if he doesn't make it? I already lost Kathy today, I can't lose Harry as well," I say near tears. "Harry's going to be okay. He'll pull through," Niall says. "I have to call Wendy and Gemma. Tell them what just happened," I say. "I'll called the lads on my way to you," he says. "Did you call Zayn?" I ask. Zayn may not be in their band, but they spent 5 years together. He should know that Harry just got shot. "Yes, I did. They're all taking the first flight out here," he says. "Okay. I'm going to go call Wendy and Gemma," I say getting up. "Do you want me to call them?" Niall asks. "No, they should hear it from me," I say. I take my phone out as I leave the waiting room. I call Gemma first. I put the phone to my ear as it rings. "Hey, Sarah," Gemma says cheerful as ever. "Hey, Gemma. Is your mom near you?" I ask. Gemma told me that she was going to be with her mom for the week. "Yea, she's right here. Why?" Gemma asks worried. "Put me on speaker. I have something to tell the both of you," I say. There's a pause before Gemma says anything, "you're on speaker." I take a deep breathe before I speak, "I got a call from Alvin earlier. He wanted Harry and me to meet him and Tiffany at Central Park. We met up with them expecting to get Kathy back." "Did you?" I hear Harry's mom, Anne, ask. "Far from it. As soon as they hear the sirens, they both started panicing. Alvin ended up turning on Kathy and shooting her. He said it was what they were ordered to do," I say. I hear a gasp and someone say oh no. "Is she alright?" Gemma asks. I can hear that she's near tears. "No, she died seconds after," I say nearly crying myself. "Oh my god, no," I hear Gemma say quietly. "That's not all. Tiffany then turned to Harry and she-she shot him," I say as tears roll down my face. I hear someone start sobbing. "Is he okay?" Gemma asks. "He's in surgery as we speak," I say. "Okay, thank you for telling us, Sarah. We're going to take the first flight out there," I hear Gemma say. We say goodbye before hanging up. I call Wendy next. This is going to be so hard. Kathy loved Wendy so much. Wendy treated Kathy as if she was her own daughter. "Hey, Sarah. How are you?" I hear Wendy say through the phone. "Not good. Wendy, I need to talk to you about Kathy," I say. "What about her? Did you find her?" she asks with a slight hint of happiness in her voice. I tell Wendy the same thing I told Gemma and Anne. "Kathleen's gone?" Wendy asks quietly. "I'm sorry, Wendy. I know she was like a daughter to you," I say. "It's alright. I should be the one saying sorry. You just lost your little sister and you saw it happen," she says. I push the tears down. "It's fine. I'll make sure they send her body over to you and James so we can have her funeral in London. I know she would want that," I say. "Alright, keep us up to date on Harry's status," Wendy says. "I will," I say. We say our goodbyes. I hang up before going back into the waiting room. Niall stands up and comes over to me. I hug him once I get over to him. He hugs me back. All those tears I've been pushing down, finally come out.
