Chapter 11:

Hailey's POV

"You." He stated simply. I froze, unable to comprehend what was happening. The next thing I knew, everyone pulled me back, telling him I won't go.

He went back inside, only to come out moments later with Niall tied up and on his knees. He dragged him in front of the door, pulling a gun out of the waistband of his jeans.

"Just because I can't have you doesn't mean I'm going to give up that easy. If I can't have you, they can't have him," he explained simply. He shouldn't even be characterized as a he, more of an it. He is a monster, not a human. And Niall doesn't deserve this; no one does. I am not going to let someone else get hurt because of my mistakes. They have moved on once; lost me once, they can do it again.

"No," I said, pulling away from the boys. "Niall didn't do anything for this. I won't let him suffer for me. This is my fight, my problem. Let him go and take me."

"Hailey!" Gianna yelled, trying to stop me, but the truth was, they couldn't.

Jake let Niall out, and grabbed my wrists, pulling me forcefully towards him and inside the cabin.

"Just give me a minute with them, and I promise I will be right back," I said, looking him right in the eyes. "Let me say goodbye."

Niall's POV

My ears were ringing and I didn't know what was going on. Jake pushed me towards the boys and pulled a girl towards him. The other girls started crying, while the boys filled me in. Suddenly everything became quiet, as the girl, who I now know as Hailey, walked back outside.

"Listen, I know that you don't want this, but I will not let Niall take this fight. I will be fine. I promise, just let me go. Niall was my savior for a few weeks, the one who took my place to give me a time of freedom, but it can't stay that way-" she started crying, but wiped her eyes and kept her head up.

"You don't have to do this, we can all just leave right now and call the c-cops. P-please don't l-leave us ag-gain!" Gianna begged as the other girls cried, pulling Hailey into a hug.

"Paul, what do we do?" Liam cried out, trying to keep Hailey here as long as possible.

"I'm afraid there isn't much we can do right now.. We are in a remote location too far for the cops to get here in time, and he has a gun."

"We can't just leave her here with that psychopath!" Harry yelled in response.

"Please, I did it once, I can do it again. This isn't your fight, don't try to fight it. I'm not letting someone else take the pain. Sure I won't be happy, but I wouldn't be happy if I let someone else stay here either. This is the best way, and I promise your lives will go on. I'm just me, not a pop sensation, a movie star, I won't be missed by the world. I'll be missed by a handful of people, but they'll move on, have bigger lives. I'd rather it be me than anyone else. I love you all, and I know you will try to help me, but the best thing is it just move on. P-please, just go.." By now we were all crying, but I made sure to record this from Louis' phone. She thinks she won't be remembered, but I will make sure she is. Sure she says this is her fight, but as far as I'm concerned, she saved me. I won't just move on; none of us will.

Liz's POV

As Hailey walked towards the house, the boys had to hold us back. When she got inside, we were pulled into the car. With the windows open, we waited. Minutes later, we heard the screaming start, and we cried harder, but not daring to go inside. The last thing we heard as we drove away was a loud bang, and that's when all our hearts officially broke, unsure of what happened, but knowing she would never forgive us if we went back.

"Goodbye.." I whispered, putting my hand on the back window as we watched the cabin fade into the distance.
