Liam

Its been hours since we have been wandering. There's so much in this city, and I don't even know half of the things.

I glanced at Louis and saw him smiling widely at the cars. He's really fascinated with them. I hugged him. He looked up and his smile grew wider.

"Will I ever be able to ride that?" He asked.

"What? The car?" I asked. He nodded. "Yeah, maybe." Only when we're safe. 

We're looking for somewhere safe. We've crossed many streets, allies, and patches of land while looking. We need to hide from the eyes of the people, the bloody uniforms not helping our case. Next time we have to steal I'll have to bring it up with Zayn.

I look behind to check on Niall, who is almost in the street, trying to look at things. I go back and grab his arm, pulling him out of the dangerous road, only to see Zayn grabbing and preventing Louis from running into a sign. They have an attention span of four year olds, I swear.

We walk for  bit, I'm lost in my own little world. Zayn calls for it as he points out an old building. "Hey, this will work!"

I sigh, its an old run down building, but I can't really complain. We step inside when no one was looking and started setting up what little​ bit of things we have to use. It's not horrible but its not the best place either.

We get out some food and water and rest up. After a while of chatting I ended up falling asleep.

Louis

It's been hours since we've been here and there's nothing to do. The house was cool but now hat we've explored everywhere there's not much to do.

I went to one of the windows and heard a weird noise. Niall came over and looked out with me, pointing out a small furry animal.

"Its a cat," he said, pointing to it. It has a long tail, small pointed ears, and little whiskers.

"Liiiiiii," I call. He walks over to us and Niall points out the cat. "Can we go pet it?"  I ask with big eyes.

"No." He shook his head. "No way."

I frown, going back to looking at the cat. "Please, Liam. We'll stay right there."

I nod in agreement to Niall. "Its a kitty, please." I pout and he gives in.

"Fine, but by the house and only for a few minutes."

We both cheer and run out to pet him. He was so soft and he started "purring" as Niall said.

A truck came by and honked at something, scaring the cat away. Forgetting what Liam had said we both started chasing the cat until it crawled up an alley wall and jumped over a fence.

We sighed and I mumbled under my breath. We turned around and headed for the building again when a few men stopped us.

"Where are two pretty boys like you going?" he asked, his voice ruff and uninvitting. I shivered and moved closer to Niall who grabbed my hand.

"Just keep going, don't turn around, okay?" he whispered to me. I nodded, holding onto his hand tightly.

"Oh, come on! Let us take care of you, baby!" Another one said. I start to shake. What do they want from us? I heard footsteps from behind and Niall starts to move faster.

"Hey! Stop!" A third voice says. I whimpered. How many of them could there be?

Their footsteps speed up and move closer.
