Masks Off Identities Out

Chapter Three

I woke up to my covers being pulled off of me. “Get out of bed.” I heard a low voice say. “I said get out of bed, NOW!” I quickly opened my eyes and scurried out of bed until I was thrown over someone’s shoulder. “See ya later Donny.” I heard Zayn call out. I was still a bit hazy and did not know what was going on. A few minutes later I was e=being thrown onto the ground with a kick to my stomach. “Where’s the duct tape?” I heard the voice say again. Next thing I knew I my arms were being duct taped to my sides and my legs were being duct taped together. “Throw him in!”

    My body soon hit the water and I found myself sinking, impossible to swim back to the top, the duct tape held me back from getting any air.

“This is it I’m going to die. No markings on the world, just a plain boy from Doncaster, no one important.”

Just as I was about to give up I felt the water seeping through the duct tape, letting it slide lose from my body. I manage to get my arms out of the grip of the tape and swam back to the top. Once I reached land I layed down on the fake sand and started to take deep breaths. After I caught my breath I ripped the tape off of my wet skin. I ran back to the dorm room and I stopped right in front of Harry’s room. It took me a while to notice what I was doing until the door opened and a sleepy, curly haired, boy opened the door. “Why are you all wet?” He asked.

    “Some people were trying to-“ Harry then stopped me and went into his room. He came back with a towel and led me back to my own room. “You don’t want to hear what I have to say?” I asked him. “Shut up Lou, go complain to Zayn about it.” He opened the door and pushed me inside. I turned around so that I was facing the no closed door. I was a bit shocked at what had just happened, he just stopped me mid-sentence and left me in my room, no explanation or anything.

    “Did you get lost?” Zayn asked. “No. I almost died!” I yelled throwing the towel on the ground and changing into new clothes. “Don’t worry they do that to almost everyone, they throw them into the lake and run off.” Louis scratched the back of his neck confused, “they duct taped me, they taped my arms to my sides and my legs together, I could’ve died!” Louis yelled back.

“Wait what the fuck?! They taped you together. They tried to kill you?! Are you serious?! Oh fuck, I have to tell Harry about this.” Louis sighed at the thought of telling Harry, considering Harry didn’t care, he made that pretty obvious. “He doesn’t care. I stopped by his room and tried to tell him.”

    “He’s just moody, we’ll tell him tomorrow, get some sleep. We’ll figure out who did this to you tomorrow, they never do such a thing, usually they just throw them into the lake.” But by then Louis had already fallen asleep.

Notes: In Looking For Alaska, “Pudge” was actually naked when they threw him into the lake.
