Elle’s p.o.v
I can’t even look at James as I exit the room and go to my room.
I thought that he would protect us when they came.
The most dangerous gang in the world are coming to this place tomorrow to take over. And James is leaving us to deal with them on our own. All of my trust in him has gone.
I heard a knock at my door. As I got up to answer it, I was secretly hoping that it would be James, coming to apologise. But it was Sam, coming to comfort me as usual. At least I can always count on Sam.
"Hey Elle. You okay?"
"Yeah. I suppose. I’m just scared."
"Me too. I know I got us into this mess and I’m so sorry. I didn’t think that James would leave us like that."
"It’s okay Sam you didn’t mean to get us all involved. I’m really disappointed in James though. It’s fine. As long as we keep the boys safe, it will be fine. "
"Do you want me to wash up? The boys are in the lounge. James is in his office."
"No its fine. Actually, you can dry up if you REALLY want to" I laugh.
Sam agrees, smiling.
We head downstairs and as we pass James' office, I stick my middle finger up at him through the wall which makes Sam laugh.
They boys must have seen us because they follow us to the kitchen.
"Not now please." I plead.
"We deserve to know what the hell is happening. Tell us!" Zayn said.
I let out a huge breath before starting the washing up.
"I don’t really know what is going to happen to you. I’m trying my best to keep you safe but I really don’t know."
"Yes you do know. YOU WORK HERE FOR GODS SAKE AND YOU THINK WE WILL BELIEVE YOU WHEN YOU SAY YOU 'DONT KNOW'. TELL US ALREADY ELLE."
I was shocked by Zayn’s outburst. I looked at the dishes, trying to think what to say without them knowing too much and leaving. They have to stay here or the gang will just come and kill us.
Surprisingly, Harry steps in to stand up to Zayn.
"OI ZAYN YOU DONT KNOW HALF OF IT. LEAVE HER ALONE. IT’S NOT HER FAULT. SHE WAS KIDNAPPED TOO!"
I stare at Harry, as does everyone else. Well it couldn’t be a secret for long.
Zayn looks at me apologetically.
"I’m sorry I-I-"
"It’s alright." I bluntly reply. I’m just pissed off at the world at the moment.
Everyone looks shocked. Liam, Zayn and Niall, because of this new news they have heard.
Louis and Sam look shocked that Harry told the secret and Harry looks shocked that he said it himself.
"Can I have the kitchen to myself for 10 minutes please?"
They slowly file out and I sit down on the bench and close my eyes.
Tomorrow.
Anything could happen.
I need to distract myself before I start to worry again.
And now the boys know how I got here. I honestly don’t know what to do.
At least James is going, hopefully before he finds out that the boys know that I’m not an employee.
What scares me most is that this gang could be rough and my safety isn’t the one I’m most worried about. I would kill myself if the boys, especially Liam and Sam, got hurt.
