Smooth Criminal - Styles - Completed

Chapter 26

‘’The little girl is a little grumpy, isn’t she?’’ The man laughs when I refuse to take a bit of what ever is on his dirty fork. I just keep glaring at him with my arms crossed over my chest while I lean back in the uncomfortable chair. I’m starving and I have to pee, but I refuse to eat anything he offers or pee in a bucket.

He suddenly harshly pulls me towards him by my hair. ‘’Eat, little bitch.’’ Instead of taking a bit, I spit in his face and get freed, kind of. The man leans back in his chair, just like I do and creepily grins at me. He wipes his finger over his beard, where my saliva landed and puts his finger in his mouth. I get even more disgusted by the man and am happy when he leaves me to be at the small table with disgusting food. I try to loosen my ankles from the robe but fail and sigh in a frustrated way. The men around me laugh loudly and then pay attention to the TV again.

I don’t know their names, and I don’t want to know their names. I just want to get out of here and kill Harry, and at the same time I want him to take me in his arms, never let go of me and just admit his true feelings for me. He kind of did, actually.

I take the plate with food and try to decide whether I should it this food or not. If I do, I might die because they might have poisoned it. I take a small bite and feel my stomach being filled from one single bite. I haven’t eaten properly in a day. What happens if they don’t get the money in time? Will they actually kill me? What will they do to the boys, to Harry? A door gets opened but it’s too dark to see who it is. As far as I know, all the men I’ve seen by now are here. Maybe it’s their boss? Maybe they’ve decided to kill me now?

A British accent fills my ear and my heart stops beating for a moment when I recognize Liam’s voice. What the hell is Liam doing here? Wasn’t he supposed to be on my side? Did he do this on purpose? He knew it all along! The tall frame gets closer and clearer with every step he takes and I look at a man who was supposed to be my friend, my security, in disgust. It’s really him. If it was Louis walking in here, it wouldn’t be as much as a surprise as seeing Liam.

My mouth is wide open as I watch Liam sit down in front of me. ‘’Surprise.’’ He grins and makes himself comfortable. I want to yell at him, jump at him and beat in his face, but I’m paralyzed and can’t do anything. ‘’ I can’t believe my eyes, am I hallucinating? ‘’Are you feeling at home yet?’’ He asks me while lighting up a cigarette. His voice sounds different because of the cigarette between his lips and I want to shove it down his throat and watch him choke to death.

‘’You know what will happen if they don’t get the money, don’t you?’’ I hear him talking about me getting killed anyway but don’t really listen. I just can’t listen to him, he’s too disgusting. I feel so betrayed. He didn’t do the bungee jump because he knew I would stay with him, because I would feel guilty and bad for him. He knew those men could easily… kidnap me from those public toilets. ‘’Thirty hours left.’’ He laughs and grabs my hand, which is laying on the dirty table. He looks at the palm of my hand before pressing the burning cigarette on it. I try to pull away, but he’s too strong. Tears appear in my eyes, but I won’t let them escape. He throws away the cigarette and lets go of my hand, which I immediately pull back.

‘’Greg, we’re getting pizza. Do you want some?’’ The ‘boss’ of the men ask Liam as they all get up. Greg? What the hell? ‘’Yeah, sure.’’ Liam, or Greg nods. They all leave and lock the door, but I assume Liam has his own key. It’s quiet for a whole minute until we hear cars leaving. ‘’I’m getting you out of here as soon as I can, I promise.’’ Liam suddenly says as he gets off his chair and loosens me from the chair and the robes. ‘’What the fuck?’’ I yell angrily before hitting Liam in the stomach. ‘’Vicky, please listen to me.’’ He yells back at me and tries to pull me towards him.

‘’Who the fuck are you? Liam? Greg? How am I supposed to believe what you will tell me? You let them kidnap me!’’ I spit in his face and keep beating him in his chest. ‘’I’m on your side Vicky, really.’’ He grabs a hold of my forearms and holds me tightly. ‘’You’ve said that before you fucking-‘’  I get slapped right across the face and am immediately silent. ‘’I’m sorry, I just had to get you to shut up.’’

Harry

‘’I’m going to the headquarter.’’ Liam says as he grabs his keys and leaves the house. After hours of trying to come up with a plan I’m still not calm. I won’t be calm to Vicky is safe, with me. As long as she’s not here, in my arms so I can comfort her, make her feel safe… and loved, I won’t be calm. I have to know if she’s safe.  

Almost two hours later, we get a new Skype call and the same man from the first call shows up. Two men hold Vicky tightly, but we can only see the arms. Without anything being said, Vicky gets beaten up in the face and I actually burst out in tears while I hear all the other boys trying to communicate with the man. Vicky doesn’t let a tear drip down her bruised cheeks and seems emotionless.

This is all my fault.

In all my anger, I grab the laptop and throw it against the wall. ‘’Harry, what the fuck did you do?!’’ Zayn yells at me, shoving me against the wall. His breathing is unsteady and his eyes look like they are about to spit fire. I know he cares for Vicky, but not as much as I do.

He doesn’t know what kind of a connection, a bond, we’ve built in such a short time. How she knows me so well, even though I don’t tell her a lot about myself. Even though I’ve lied to her for so long. I push him off of me and walk up to my room where I ruin everything in it before going to Vicky’s room and laying in her bed to smell her scent, feel likes she’s laying next to me like she used to.

Feel her fingers trace the patterns of ink on my bare chest, feel his face and itchy hair in my neck and hear her whisper things the thoughts she has running through her mind.

This is all my fault.

Mind fuck, Liam is a bad guy haha, or maybe not? Who knows...
