The Only Direction

Ch. 14 Deadlines

I woke up, my vision blurry. I waited for it to clear trying to remember where I was. Oh yeah, I drank two drinks and got drunk. I didn't even know that was possible. Well I guess it helped that I was all sad and angry and broken and annoyed and pissed. Yeah I was in a great place.

So where was I? I tried to remember. Oh right, someone kidnapped me from the club. I should be panicking but with my life lately I didn't have much more emotion left in me. My vision finally cleared and I was laying on a very familiar couch. I was back in their apartment.

"Zayn!" I tried to sound angry but it came out more as a groggy cry for help. I heard the sound of running feet running to come and meet my cry.

"He brought you in and left." Niall came over with Liam and Louis behind him.

"What about Harry? is he home?"

"No he's going to be released tomorrow."

"Good!" I smiled at the thought of Harry coming home.

"Um.... Leah."

"What?" He avoided my eyes.

"He's going to have his sister pick him up and bring him to his mom's place in Holmes Chapel."

"What? Why?" I was hurt. Why wouldn't he want to come back to the apartment?

"We don't know. Leah please tell us what is going on. Zayn ran away and Harry is going home to his parents instead of us." I sighed.

"My mom went into serious depression when my dad died. One day I got frustrated with her and ran to Ky my boyfriend but I didn't call him first. I caught him with a girl and was livid. She left and I started yelling at him for cheating on me not noticing how drink he was. He beat me and cut me with a knife. He eventually passed out the next morning and I ran away to the club," I paused when I saw how confused the guys were.

"That sucks but what does that have to do with Zayn and Harry?"

"Be patient I'll get there. At the club, I met Harry and we went out for pizza. I realized who he was and got mad and ran away. He followed me and Ky found us. Harry knocked him out and took his knife. We kissed but I told him I didn't want a relationship because of the Ky thing. You know the rest up to when we got back. I went to sleep when we got back from the cafe and I woke up to a guy cursing at our apartment from down in the parking lot. He looked up and it was ky. I screamed and Zayn came and explained how Ky was the guy he caught Perrie with."

"wait, what?" They looked at me confused.

"Oh yeah, you didn't here this from me but Zayn caught Perrie with another guy. Anyway, I was terrified and Zayn went and beat him up. Zayn left his phone when he went to go deal with Ky and it was from Perrie. The contact picture was the girl I caught Ky with. I threw the phone across the room breaking it. Zayn came back took one look at me and started to comfort me. Then we were making out. Harry walked in on us got mad and pulled a knife. Zayn yelled at him and he ran away and apparently got drunk. We went looking for him and the car in front of us but him. He was in the hospital. They told me I couldn't see him because I caused him stress so I snuck into his room. While we were talking, Zayn came in and they told me that I had to choose between the two of them which I knew I would have to eventually but they wanted an answer then. I was sad and angry at them so I took Zayns car and drove to the club where I drank two drinks and somehow managed to get drunk."

They all stared at me like I was insane. "so let me get this straight," Liam's grin was back, "you drank two drinks and got drunk."

"I can't believe you. And yes. Only two drinks."

"Have you ever drank before?" Just as he said that, the phone rang. Niall lept up to go get it and we could here yelling at the other end. Niall pulled back the phone and set it on speakerphone.

"WHAT IS GOING ON?" A voice yelled at the other end. Liam mouthed at me to stay quiet. "YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE REHEARSING IN AN HOUR AT MODEST, BUT I GET A CALL FROM HARRY WHO SAYS HES IN THE HOSPITAL AND IS GETTING RELEASED TODAY BUT IS GOING HOME TO HIS PARENTS. THEN I GET A CALL FROM ZAYN SAYING HE WONT BE AT REHEARSAL FOR A WHILE. CARE TO EXPLAIN?" I guessed this was Management.

"They're going through a tough time right now."

"WELL THEY NEED TO GET OVER IT. WE HAVE A SMALL PERFORMANCE FOR THE LOCAL FANS IN A WEEK. YOU HAVE UNTIL THEN TO FIX IT. ONE DIRECTION CANNOT BREAK UP AT THE PINNACLE OF THEIR POPULARITY." With that, the line went dead. The room quickly filled with awkward silence.

"Leah, I know you don't want to have to choose, but whether you like it or not you have a deadline now. You have until next week to fix this." Louis's comment was harsh but I knew it was true.

I had to choose by next week or I would be the reason One Direction wood break up.

END OF CHAPTER 14

Poor Leah! Who will she choose? Will One Direction fall apart?
