The Chase [Watty's2018]

Ten

Louis

I couldn't stop shaking as I watched Liam get the guys off of Niall. Sobs were still running through me and Zayn walked back over to me.

He picked me up effortlessly and I held onto him tightly. Even if he wanted to put me down I doubt that he could.

"Don't touch me!" Niall yelled at Liam, fighting to get away from him.

Liam kept trying to calm him down, not letting Niall win.

I turned my face into Zayn's chest and kept shaking and crying, not being able to get the picture of the guys all over me.

Zayn started whispering to me, trying to calm me as well. "You're safe now, Lou. No one's coming near you again. Shh, it's okay."

My grip tightened in him, and I felt him start moving. He didn't stop whispering to me and I tried to focus on that rather than what I was thinking about.

I could faintly hear Liam and Niall talking, Niall still sounded scared.

I heard people laugh and it sounded like those guys, so I whimpered and held on tighter to Zayn if it was even possible.

"It's not them, Lou. You're okay, I promise."

As much as I didn't want to, my eyes were glued closed. I hated seeing those guys, but I was too scared to look around.

I heard a door being opened, and then it closing a few seconds later. Zayn moved to put me down, but I started shaking my head. "Please don't. Zayn please."

Zayn pulled me back to him and sat is down, pulling a bag over to us. He grabbed something and tried to hand it to me, but I shook my head again.

"I'm not hungry," I mumbled, pushing it away.

"You both need to eat," Liam said. I peaked out and saw that Niall was by himself in the corner not letting anyone get near him.

"I'm not going to," Niall said through gritted teeth.

I didn't want to, but I didn't want to stress Liam out even more because I knew Niall was already.

Zayn turned me on his lap so that I was sitting sideways. He pulled off bits of what I saw was a muffin and started feeding it to me, and usually I would done it myself but I was too tired to do it.

Zayn ate occasional pieces of the muffin, and I felt my eyes getting heavier and heavier as the muffin got smaller.

I was also fighting to stay awake because I didn't want to dream about them.

Zayn noticed I was trying to get me to sleep. "I don't want to sleep," I mumbled, my head falling onto Zayn's chest.

"No one's gonna hurt you," he assured me. "Liam and I will be right here, okay? Just get some rest."

I shook my head, not agreeing. "They'll come back," I whispered.

"Loubear, no they won't," Liam said, moving besides me. "If anyone comes near you two again, they won't be able to walk away."

I looked at Niall and I saw him curled in a little ball, shaking still.

"I don't wanna sleep," I mumbled again, trying to sit up more, but Zayn tightened his grip on me, making it harder to move.

I gave up, falling back into Zayn and letting my eye lids fall.

I was back in the alley, this time without Niall.

"Kitty!" I called. "Come back!"

I huffed when I realized that it wouldn't be coming back and started to walk back down the alley.
