Until Her Last Breath

Chapter 10:

Hailey pressed call and the phone rang three times before it stopped. We couldn't believe what we heard next...

"Hello?"

*minutes earlier*

Niall's POV

"God dammit why does she keep calling me?!" He yelled, throwing his phone against the wall.

I was leaning against the wall across from him in the small square room. I have been here for a week, and have been given food three times a day. The rest of the time I either try to remember what I know, or sleep. I don't know why I'm here, but I hope everything will be more clear soon.

After throwing the phone, he walked out, slamming the door behind him. Crawling across the room, I picked up the phone, putting the battery back in place. It turned on, and was still ringing. I crawled back to my spot, before slowly putting the phone to my ear, answering the call.

"Hello?" I asked, my voice hoarse from the lack of talking for so long.

Zayn's POV

"Oh my god..." Hailey whispered, dropping the phone.

"Wh-what is it?!" Liam question, anxious and worried.

"It's.. It's him. It's Niall.." She said softly, picking up the phone and shoving it in Liam's hand.

"Niall?" Liam asked as he put the phone on speaker.

"L-Liam?! Is that you?" He asked, hoarse voice, but other than that sounding okay.

"Niall, it's Liam. We are going to find you okay? You are going to take this phone and hide it, but don't hang up. We are tracking the phone right now and are going to get to you as soon as we can. You just have to stay quiet and act as if the phone isn't there. Be careful and we will be there soon!" He explained before putting the phone on the table, taking a deep breath.

Hailey's POV

"I don't understand why he would do this? But there is no other explanation. Niall had Brandon's phone, and how else would he have gotten it?" I was as confused as ever.

"Well right now the only thing we can do is wait. Maybe Brandon isn't who we thought he was.." Tess explained.

Gianna's POV

We were in the car following the GPS to where the phone is being tracked. We are all anxious to see if Niall is there, and if Brandon is too. I knew he was trouble, but I still can't put my finger on it. I just get a queasy feeling in my stomach whenever he is near me.

Louis' POV

We were all nervously whispering when the car came to a stop and Paul announced to stay put. He told us that he would go out first, and make sure that it is safe.

"Okay guys, c'mon out.." He called quietly.

Giavanna's POV

We all went up to the small cabin, Paul and the boys looking in the windows for any sign of people. We suddenly heard a bang and the front door opened. The boys ran in front of us, trying to shield us incase of danger.

"Brandon?" Hailey called, pushing the boys away and waking towards him, before stopping short.

"Well yes, that's what you have called me for a while. But do you remember what you first called me? You know, when I had brown hair, green eyes, and a slimmer face. Just picture it for a minute.." He said with a smirk on his face.

Tess's POV

"HAILEY!" I yelled when I saw realization and anger cross her eyes, grabbing for her. She pulled away, running towards him.

"YOU FUCKING LIAR! I HATE YOU. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU PUT ME THROUGH?! YOU DISGUST ME. HOW DARE YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT TRYING TO BE MY FRIEND, OR SHOWING YOUR FACE NEAR ME AFTER WHAT YOU DID!" She screamed, punching and kicking as the boys pulled her away, rage clear in Brandon, or Jake's eyes.

"Hailey please calm down.. This isn't helping anything. We came here to get Niall, and that's what we are going to do. We will deal with this prick after!" Gianna pleaded.

It took her a few minutes, but Hailey finally calmed down.

"Listen.." She started, taking a few deep breaths. "We know you have Niall, and you have to let him go. What do you want anyway? Why are you doing this?"

"You know what I want.." He said, examining her eyes for a reaction.

"I would like to think you want to give us Niall and turn yourself in, but we all know that's not it so, tell me. What do you want?!" She asked, strained and anxious to get to an end of this endless path.

"You."
