ch.11--can i help you

||devs pov||

Today the One Direction boys asked me to hang out with them.

Okay I'm going to repeat that so we

can just let that sink in.

TODAY THE ONE DIRECTION BOYS ASKED ME TO HANG OUT WITH THEM.

Alright I'm okay.

Last night I fell asleep outside, so Harry and Niall both brought me back to our house. Peter and Margot were safe, as I made sure to check on them right after I woke up.

I scribble a fast note and drop it on the counter, lace up my sneakers and bolt out the door.

I didn't remember what the schedule says so I'll hope a run is on the list.

The large sun was faintly visible right over the horizon, as it rose. The air was light and windy, perfect for running.

I was too caught up in the scenery that one, I didn't know where I was, and two, I didn't have my phone (again.)

I waltz down the stairs, no shirt on, and slightly damp from Calum's prank. I hear his voice echoing from the living room.

"And then he totally peed his pants, it was hysterical!" he lied. I stick my head around the door and send him a glance, yet he knows fully well that I won't blow his cover.

"Calum," I groan.

"Stop telling this story!" I let out a laugh, hoping it didn't sound fake as I watched Luke. He seemed more tired then yesterday, and his smile didn't reach his eyes.

I also notice that we aren't the only three in the room.

Michael speeds by, head down, ear pressed to his phone.

"Hey, em, Cal can I talk to you?" I ask, eyes not leaving Mikey.

I hear Luke sigh as he gets up. He doesn't need to think we're talking about him though, because that's just extra stress.

"No! Wait, Luke you can stay." I say, sitting down next to him on the couch.

He nods and looks up at me.

"Guys, as much as you may not want to," I start, shaking my head,

"I think we have to forgive Katherine."

"Or, Michael, for that matter."

I skitter to a halt, looking around the neighborhood. Fresh trimmed grass, and matching gardens is all I see.

I know my sense of direction isn't that good, but everything here is identical.

I'm lost.

And I know it.

I sigh, running a hand through my straight ponytail, and walk up to the nearest house. Crossing my fingers, I hope that the owner of this house isn't a murderer, and I walk up the pathway.

I hesitate before knocking on the door. Should I look around again? Try and retrace my steps? I turn so that my back is facing the iron wrought door and I blow out through my lips.

My eyes dart across the street before a scratchy voice asks,

"Can I help you?"

I turn to the old man. His face was dirty and his body scrawny. He held a grimace on his face but he was short, so he wasn't that intimidating. I had about 6 inches on him making him look puny and childish.

His bald head glistened in the heat. He looked recently awoken seeing as it looked like he wore glasses most of the time.

I must've have been staring for a while before he scoffs and slams the door, catching my attention.

I knock twice more. They were ignored both times. I slap my hand on the side of his house in frustration and grunt.

I hear a quiet, deadpan chuckle from the street. I turn, recognizing the sound, and come face to face with that beautiful singer with the emerald eyes.

But today his eyes seemed paler, more lifeless and not as playful. His lips were pressed in a thin line as he held up an object right over me. We were too close for me to see what is was, but it didn't matter anyway because he let it drop to the gravel.

"I think you forgot this." He grunts, voice deep and raspy.

"I think you also forgot to tell us who your boyfriends were too, Devyn." He spit out my name like it was a curse.

I didn't understand what he was saying before I bent down to pick up my phone, and saw just what he was looking at.

Through the long crack in the middle of the screen, I could clearly see the four boys he recognized.

And when I looked back to where he was standing, he was already gone.
