The Chase [Watty's2018]

Nineteen

Liam

After Harry explained why we had to get to this cabin I took off. All I could think about was getting to Louis before anyone from that fucking lab could.

Niall and Harry were close behind me, and the closer we got the more worried I was.

The sun has almost completely set. I finally saw a light from a window up ahead and pushed myself harder to get up there.

Once I got to the door I saw Zayn pacing with no Louis in sight. Zayn jumped as the door slammed open but relaxed when he saw me.

"He's asleep in one of the rooms. Where's-" Zayn paused as he saw the question to his answer come up behind me. "What the hell?"

"Get Lou, we have to go now," Harry panted. "I'll explain, Zayn, but you have to trust me."

Zayn's eyes hardened over. "You don't- no. Why do you trust him?" Zayn asked me.

"I trust him," Niall threw in quickly. "Don't do it for Harry, do it for Louis and me and Liam, Zayn."

Zayn closed his eyes. "I'm not waking him up. He will flip out when he sees Harry."

I let out a breath of relief. "Sounds fine."

Zayn went into one of the rooms and came back out with Louis secured on his back.

"So where are we going now? Another place that Harry suggests?" Zayn asked with venom in his voice.

I sighed and tried to think. "Whats the closest town to here?" I asked, rubbing my face.

"Geralburgs, why?" Harry asked.

"Geralburgs? Geralburgs.. Geralburgs.. Geralburgs!" I mumbled then exclaimed. "That's where we used to live! Before the bloody labs got us!"

I was smiling, not believing I could remember the old town we used to love in. Then, a weird feeling hit me. What if they didn't want us there?

Niall wrapped his arms around me. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, trying to remember anything else about the town.

"We can always go and look, see if you remember anything," Harry pointed out. "If not then we can find a new plan."

"Yeah, come on." With Niall still by my side we started towards the town, with Harry taking the lead.

No one really talked, the only thing heard was our steps and Louis's occasional mumbling.

Niall kept close to me the whole time. I can't lie, Niall is really getting to me in one of the best ways. He always seems to know what I need before I do. Him and Louis get along amazingly well which at first I didn't see.

I don't know what I expected out of this. I dont know how we all worked so smoothly at times. Other times it was rocky at best.

The darkness of the night was slowly fading into a mixed sky of colors ranging from dark purple to pink and oranges of different shades.

We ended up at the edge of a new clearing, which lead to a road. Harry started to follow it while staying behind a row of trees.

We followed the road for a good hour or so I would have thought. Louis was still asleep and Zayn was still carrying him.

We finally reached the edge of the small town while the sun was still rising, the sky an orange yellow color.

We walked through, the streets and stores just being used. I looked around for anything that would catch my attention.

Down the street was an ice cream parlor that I thought I recognized. The cone on top crib where I could see had an arm that was raised in a wave, the other side would show a cartoonist face on the ice cream.
