(1D) Saw ; The Beginning

(4) Prologue ; Liam Payne .

Liam Payne ;

My stomach twisted, refusing to let me eat. At least I was safe inside my own bed in the comforts of my own sheets. I coughed, sipping from the tea I had made earlier hoping it would somehow miraculously heal my pain. But of course, that was only wishful thinking. I placed the mug back onto my night stand and sunk back into bed. I pulled the covers over my face and attempted to fall back asleep.

I felt bad. Today was Louis' charity game and I promised him I'd be there, but I just couldn't function properly this way. He said he understood when I cancelled but I still felt horrid for it. This had to have been the worst hang over yet. I'm sure none of the boys felt half as bad as I did but it was odd, I hardly had much to drink at all.

  *Errr* *Errr* *Errr*

My phone vibrated against the wooden top of my nightstand as I rolled over to get it. It was Niall, calling me probably to tell me how good Lou was doing.

"Hello?" I mumbled.

"L-Li??" Niall sounded panicked. I pulled the covers off from over my head sitting up a bit. "Liam?? Are you there??"

"Niall?" I replied a bit antsy. Why did he sound so scared? "Niall what's wrong??"

"Li he's gone! He's missing! No one can find him!" he nearly screamed over the noises in the background.

"Ni!? Calm down!" I raised my voice at him trying to keep him calm enough to explain. "Who? Who's missing??"

"Lou-"

The name fell from his end of the line, like a nail dropping in a silent room. My eyes widened in fear as I sat all the way up.

"Wh-what?! What do you mean he's missing??" I began to panic now, throwing the sheets off of my legs and slowly pacing the room.

"Turn on the television...." he mumbled with a shaky voice.

I grabbed the remote off of my bed and clicked it on, turning it to the news. Almost instantly I read the head line that was written in bold letters.

Teen Pop Sensation Goes Missing

I threw my hand over my mouth, frozen by the shock. How the fuck do we lose someone who's always being watched? On screen it showed the stadium his team was supposed to be playing in, engulfed by millions of what seemed like our angry fans.
