I Think I've Been Kidnapped

Chapter 26

***Louis' P.O.V.***

"It's all my f****** fault!"

I cringed as Harry yelled the words again. His face was red with anger while he pulled at his curls and muttered curse words under his breath. It'd been about ten minutes since we got back to the hotel and he had just busted out in profanities the second we entered the door. I was trying to stay away from him as I sat on my bed and tried to watch a sitcom. It wouldn't be wise to stop him or try to talk to him; it only mad him madder and I didn't need that. No, with Harry these things just needed to run their course until he finally calmed down.

So, I stared at the screen with a blank expression and waited for the character's words to reach me in any way. I just wanted to laugh, I just wanted to forget about what was happening, I just wanted to feel happy again. The words only muddled together and droned on, numbly hitting my ears as I got lost in terrifying thoughts.

Mai's gone. She was my best friend when things were better; we shared that connection. You know, the one where I knew her catch phrase before she even said it around us. Then things went to s*** and she's just gone. Right out of the stadium. She could be half way around the world right now. F***, she could be in Africa! That would be horrible... she could be there and get Cholera or  some other horrible disease. She could already be dead.

Crash!

I jumped in surprise and snapped my head to look at an absolutely fuming Harry. The vein in his neck was popping out as he breathed heavily with anger. By the TV there was a broken vase on the ground with fake flowers strewn across the room from flying out of it. My widened eyes looked back to Harry who was just staring at the TV screen. On the regular sitcom they were talking about 'kidnapping' a friend of theirs. Figures that would come on.

There were hurried knocks on the door, and I rushed there before Harry could. Quickly, I opened the door and then pushed Liam, Niall, and Zayn out to the hallway. "Louis, what the hell happened in there?" Liam wondered. I looked to him with a tired gaze.

''Harry is pissed.''

''He's got a reason to be,'' Niall sniffed, and I glanced to see if his eyes were red. They were; he had been crying, no doubt. I'm surprised that I managed not to.

''Yeah, I don't blame him at all,'' Zayn agreed.

''We need to find Mai,'' I stated after another crash came from inside the room. They all nodded.

''Yeah, but how?" Zayn questioned, ''No police, remember?''

''And we go to Australia by the end of the week,'' Niall pointed out.

''Not to mention that we only have two days off before that, and that's not enough time to search for a kidnap victim,'' Liam grumbled, dragging his hand down his face as he thought about it in frustration.

''We can do it,'' I forced a smile to try and get them to believe that I believed myself. Truthfully, I was afraid to, because that would me more pain if we didn't. What else am I supposed to do, though?

''Louis, she could be dead by now...'' Liam trailed off with the possibility, probably thinking about what it would mean if she actually was.

''Don't be such a Debby Downer,'' I teased as full heartedly as I could, ''She could be dead, but she could also be alive.'' They nodded again, and then we all jumped when there was another crash inside of the room. Soon, all went quiet, though, and Harry's soft sobs could be heard. ''That's our cue,'' I sighed, and we entered the room to comfort the curly haired boy. For the love of God, I hoped that we'd find her.
