Cryptic Love

Chapter 17.

**Nick's P.O.V**

     I ran as fast as I can, no way am I actually getting caught by Detective Garcia and his accomplice. My heart was racing, these guys weren't playing, I'm not stupid. I read every text Victoria sends me, emails, everything you name it.

These guys weren't joking around, they had stuff. If I didn't get home and take my sisters out that house, I knew they were going to find us. Victoria's dad had this old cabin that we could hide out at. Why did they want me? I don't know, I had to contact my parents, warn the crew..

I ran into the back yards of my neighbors and hid inside a huge tool shed behind a bunch of tools, I covered my mouth and nose, calming myself down as I saw them both run in.

"Damn it, he's gone," Detective Garcia muttered running fixing his hat and rubbing his forehead, he used to be Mr. Nice Guy! What the hell happened, our lives turned a whole 360 after Eliza and Mark hit Tyler, seriously.

We didn't want Victoria to know but people, random people have been sending us death threats if we didn't leave her alone.. if we didn't tell them where she was, and we clearly don't know how they found where Simon's house was! Everyone checked each others emails, text, calls, everything and no evidence points to anyone!

I waited a few more minutes and ran home, I banged on the door and my sister opened. Right now I didn't care she was awake late, this was an emergency.

"Wake up, wake up," I ran into the twins rooms turning on the light tacking out their gymnastic bags and dumping them out rushing and packing random clothing.

"What's going on," Adriana walked in confused, she had already packed because she could tell was urgent unlike the twins.

"Come on Angel," I picked her sleepy body up with Ariel who was still asleep. I put a sweater on them and rushed down with them packing some food.

"Take them while I lock up,'' I said giving her the twins and she rushed out.

Running upstairs while turning off all the lights, I grabbed my bag and ran out through the back door. I ran to the truck starting it up and started driving towards the cabin, just gotta warn everyone..

**Victoria's P.O.V**

        Pulling my suitcases through the airport as Andrew walked with Ty next to me. I ruffled my hair sighing as Paul stopped us. You could hear the screams from outside and it seriously is annoying, like seriously these boys have no privacy what so ever, I tried going out for dinner the other day and we couldn't because a whole bunch of girls were crowded around the hotel.

Finally in Malibu, California where I was from, and where the crew all lived, I felt happy. Okay, maybe I was a little excited to go on that date with Chase.. maybe I was catching feelings for Chase.. I've known him forever, he's a great guy.. but would it be a bad idea? Because we know everything about each other.. because we've known each other forever, what would we be talking about?

''Vicky, the car is ready,'' Niall smiled cutely at me, I snapped out of it and thanked him politely before walking out hearing girls scream at me.

''She's the girl they've been hanging out with!''

''She looks like a snotty little brat!?''

''Ew, she's so ugly, bet she's just some girl they bought for fun!''

Andrew covered Ty's ears leading him into his car, he opened his trunk taking my bags. I laughed at the compliments they were sending him.. the boys looked confused as he put my bags in his car.
