More than we seem (1D Louis/Harry)

18. In search of a friend

IM BACK BABY!

Once again i apologise for blatantly lying about when this chapter was going to be up, it was supposed to be up around wednesday last week but this is the only free time i've had since the begining of my school holidays sooooooo......

BRING ON THE DRAMA!

It's funny actually, when i first started writing this story it was intended to be a humourous, happy, funny, cute story. But as it went on and progressed it's just full of drama and suspense.... i never even realised how dramatic this was until i read through the chapter to spell check and so on...

Oh well... you people are enjoying it right?

This is very much a Louis Tomlinson x Harry Styles slash fic so if you don't like this kind of thing then i suggest you don't read this ;)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Zayn's POV

Louis had stopped crying and now he was just cuddled into my chest with his eyes squeezed shut, breathing unsteadily and biting his lip raw. All i could do was hold him and try to keep him calm but i could tell this was killing him. He never wanted to say those things to Harry but he had to, otherwise who knows what would have happened. But i'm not going to let this just slip by, i'm gonna take Louis to Harry and all five of us are gonna work this out together, no more hiding, no more secrets, we're a team and we're gonna fix this as one. I slowly started to get up but Louis just whimpred and gripped onto me, pulling me back down. Dammit, He's even stronger when he's being stubborn...

"Lou, c'mon if you talk to Harry we can fix this." i pleaded but he shook his head and his his face in my chest. "No!! why can't you understand?? WE.CAN'T.FIX.THIS." He sobbed, looking up at me, the hurt glistening in his eyes "I Have to go, i'm not gonna let you guys get yourselves killed because of my stupid mistake". He ran his hand through his hair, gripping it angrily before standing up. "Louis no! There is no way in hell i'm going to let you face off that maniac by yourself!" i grabbed his arm to stop him from moving. "Zayn i'm going and if i have to p-" Louis paused when panicked faced Liam and Niall came running out, well Niall kind of hobbling. Niall's head was bleeding and there was a bruise forming under his eye. There was blood on Liam's shirt and the jacket i gave him (i'll be angry about that later) but i assumed it was Niall's. "HOLY SHIT Guys what happened??! are you okay?" I released Louis and ran over to Niall and checked his head. "I-it's okay, Zayn i'm fine" Niall gently pushed my hand away from his head and looked to Liam with worried eyes. I turned to Liam and he looked from Niall to me and bit his lip before his gaze fell on Louis. Liam looked worried, that's new for Liam and it can't mean anything good. I couldn't help but notice what was wrong with this picture, Niall's shaken expression, The way Liam anxiously fiddles with his jacket sleeve and once more detail. "Liam?..." I said hesitantly. He returned his gaze to me and gulped, looking down at his feet.

"Where's Harry?"

Liam's POV

"Wheres Harry?"

i winced at Zayn's words and scrapped the back of my mind trying to find a good way to say what happened. Oh who am i kidding? there is NO good way to say this. How to you tell someone that one of their bestfriends has been kidnapped and that you have no idea where he is or who's responsible. This is turning out to be the most interesting birthday i've had by far. i opened my mouth to try and speak but the words wouldn't come out. I felt something warm touch my hand and turned to see Niall smiling reassuringly at me. He's worried, but sweet little Nialler's trying to be strong for me. I honestly don't know what i'd do without him. I gripped his hand and breathed in slowly. "He's.....gone" i somehow managed. Zayn's eyes buldged and i gripped Niall's hand tighter, not knowing what to say next. "W-what?" he stuttered, no quite processing what i'd just said. "H-he's gone... t-these guys came out of no where and i think they left through the bathroom window......with Harry" Niall said with the uneasiness showing in his voice, lightly patting the gash on the top of his blond head. Zayn's eyes went twice as wide than before and whipped his head around to see Louis. He was frozen, staring at me with wide eyes, shaking with the tears welling up in his eyes. "Lou-" Zayn began. "WHAT!?" Louis screamed, with a pained voice. i took a deep breath "Louis i'm sorry i shouldn't have sprung that on you like this, but it's okay, we'll call Simon and he'll sort everything out, he always does-" i tried to sound calm but everything i said came out quickly and stammered. Louis just shook his head and suddenly broke down into tears, falling to his knees. Niall, Zayn and i all ran over to him, Niall shared my confused expression, i understand Louis would be upset but we didn't even tell him the full story, why is he acting like this? Zayn had his eyebrows furrowed, and he looked kind of pissed off. I turned to him and looked at him for an explanation. He sighed and lightly patted Louis shoulder. "Louis calm down it's okay..." Niall started but Louis cut him off. "No, no it's not.." he sniffed. "What do you mean?...." i said kneeling down to meet his eyes. Louis just mumbling to himself quietly, too softly for us to hear.  "That bastard..." Louis muttered to himself a little louder. I couldn't say anything from that point on. What's he talking about?
