All For One (Depression)

Part 6 - "Niall, is that you?"

They had been searching and searching for hours. They stumbled upon the forest Eleanor was talking about. It seemed pretty scary, but they didn't care. They just wanted to find Louis and bring him home, where he would be more safe.

Eleanor waited on the bus with Freddie. It seemed only right that she kept Louis' son away from any form of danger. Even though she wasn't Freddie's mother, she still felt extremely overprotective of him. That was something Louis always admired about her. He was always seeing the goodness in her heart that no one else could see. Through the worst days, he always stuck by her, mending her broken hearts and making her feel more like herself. Not that wasn't never herself but at times, she just felt more lonely when she wasn't with Louis. She felt like half of her heart was missing. Now, knowing that Louis had run away and that people were looking for him, made her heart sink even lower than before. But all she wanted now, was for him to be okay.

Liam and Harry strode their way through the thick forest. It started getting darker by the minute. It was like something straight out of a horror movie. A dark forest, that once you go in, you don't come out kind of thing. But they pressed on, hoping to find Louis or Niall. When suddenly, they heard a brushing sound through the bushes. Sticks breaking in the distance, footsteps coming closer. Harry hid behind Liam. "L-L-Li-Liam?" Harry stuttered. Then.....silence. All of a sudden....

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"AHHH!"

A boy came out of the bushes, his shirt ripped from the thorns in the trees and bushes. He had a few cuts on his arm.

"Niall? Is that you?" Liam said.

"LIAM! HARRY!" Niall shouted, running towards them, hugging them tight. Niall was so happy to at least see someone he knew. He felt like he was going to be lost in the woods forever. He hadn't been so relieved to not be the only one lost in its web of infinity.

"I can't find him anywhere," Niall explained. He started panicking, looking around everywhere for Louis. "I found loads of footprints but they lead to a dead end."

"Don't worry, Ni," Liam said. "We'll find him."

It had been 2 hours since they saw the outside of the forest. They were lost, deep inside, trying to figure out a way to find Louis. The worst part, it was dark. They were also supposed to be heading back to the bus 45 minutes ago. But they just couldn't give up. They had to find him.

"If I were Louis, where would I go?" Harry thought. They all paused for a moment before a flicker of light shown above their heads. It was all clear now. Everything made perfect sense. Liam's eyes grew as he thought of an idea.

"I KNOW WHERE LOUIS IS!" He yelled. Niall stopped, dead still, looking into his band mates eye. "WHERE IS HE?" Niall asked, his body shaking.

"Home," Liam spoke to Harry and Niall. They knew he was right. Where else could he have gone? He would have ran home. Home is where he always felt safe. He knew that had to hurry, to save their friend. They ran their way through the woods, trying their best not to get lost. It took a while but they managed to reach the Tour Bus. Eleanor jumped at the sight of them running up. One Direction was in panic mode.

"WHAT HAPPENED? DID YOU FIND LOUIS? IS HE OKAY?" Eleanor shouted, worried for her life. Right away, Harry ran to the back of the bus, where Mark sat. "MARK, GET US OUT OF HERE!" He screamed.

"Woah woah, calm down, Harry. What's going on?"

"WE KNOW WHERE TO FIND LOUIS!"

Mark jumped with joy to know that the boys knew exactly where Louis was. But in truth, they couldn't have been more wrong. Will they ever find him?
