👑Reagan👑
"He's my cousin", Reagan says.
I look between them and see no similarities. Reagan's long and curly dark hair is nothing like Luke's blonde, spiked hair.
"I can't believe you bumped into me and ran away, you dumbo!", Reagan jokes. She wraps her arms around him.
Now it's Luke's turn to speak,"I didn't recognize you at all' I haven't seen you since your dad's funeral."
Reagan pulls away and blinks away the tears that threaten to spill out. She takes a step towards me and smiles upwards to my face.
"This is my boyfriend Liam", Reagan introduces me. I reach my hand out and Luke shakes it.
"Nice to meet you mate", I smile warmly.
"Same, man", he agrees.
My phone rings just as Reagan goes to say something. I look at her apologetically and mouth that I'm sorry. She smiles and turns to Luke as I answer it.
"Hello?"
"Liam, where have you been?!", Louis yells into his side of the phone.
"They're at my house. They could have taken Reagan from me, do you know how close I came to freaking out mate?!", I whisper-yell frantically.
"Dude, do you know where the hell I'm at?" Louis then explains that he and the other boys got thrown into a holding cell. They were arrested by the police on their way to meet up with Reagan and I.
"Yeah, the other boys are gonna use their call on you to explain what happened in parts. Well that's my time man, Harry's next."
"Bye mate", I say. I would do anything for those four idiots and if that means going to the most extreme measure, that's what I'll do.
"Hey dude", Harry speaks when I pick up the phone yet again.
"How'd you get in jail?"
"They came to the compound looking for you and they got us. Liam, don't come here, we're being used to lure you in."
"Anything else I need to know?"
"If you come, which you probably will despite our pleas, leave Reagan. They'll use her as leverage against you if they catch you."
"Advice taken mate. Hey Styles, thank you", I respond.
"No problem mate."
The third call is Niall, who I can clearly hear the tremble in his voice. Out of us five, Niall came from the cleanest background. He's not used to jail.
"It's okay mate, you'll be out soon", I promise Niall.
"The bail for all of us combined is close to $500,000. This is cruel and twisted", Niall squeaks out.
"Hey Nialler, don't worry. I promise that I'll get you out soon. Stick with the other mates and don't start anything, okay? Obey the guards unless they ask you to do something that doesn't sound right."
"Bye Liam", he says nervously.
"Bye Nialler, don't forget what I said."
One more call.
"Hey Zayn", I cheerfully greet him.
"Hey Liam, this place is absolute HELL!"
"I know mate, just hold tight for a little bit, yeah?"
"Alright mate. I'll see you soon I'm guessing?"
"Of course", I smirk.
"I can't wait", he replies knowingly.
I walk back to Reagan and Luke who are laughing about something. "Swap your numbers and come on Reagan, the boys are in trouble", I demand. She quickly gives Luke her number and he does the same with her. We get in the car after I wait for them to hug it out.
"What happened?", she questions worriedly.
"The boys are in jail."
Something flashes across her face before she steadies herself.
"We're helping them. Like, now."
"And how will we do that Reagan? Just sit tight, I know what to do", I shake my head and focus on not crashing the car.
She sits slumped over and I can't help but feel the need to cheer her up. I switch the radio to 99.1, her favorite station.
She smiles appreciatively at me and sings along to the song playing from the radio. When we reach the California border, Reagan does a happy dance and kisses my cheek.
"HERE WE COME CALI!", she screams.
I chuckle at her outburst. A couple of months ago, I would never have pictured this scene. Me in the car with a girl I love, evading the police for something I didn't even do.
By now it's almost midnight, so I pull into the nearest hotel and get a room.
I carry the bags as Reagan stumbles behind me trying not to fall over from sleepiness. Before I can even set down the bags, Reagan plops onto the queen bed and closes her eyes. I curl up next to her, wrapping my arms around her and scooting up next to her. She mumbles something unknown to me and entwines her fingers with mine. I whisper I love her and wait for her to fall asleep.
Once she has, I stand up careful not to wake her. I know what I need to do and I need to do it now. I write a note to her and pull on my black leather jacket. Walking out of the room, I leave my car keys on top of the paper. I go to the woman at the front desk and tell her to carry the reservation out for tomorrow also. I quickly pay for the extension of Reagan's stay here.
Fishing in my pockets, I feel the few contents left. A $100 bill and my drivers license.
I wait for a taxi and tell the driver to take me to a pay-phone nearest to the jail. He looks at me skeptically but I roll my eyes and tell him to mind his own business.
A block away from the jail, I put three quarters in the pay-phone and call the jail itself.
"Hello. This is the Fairbanks County Jail, how can I help you?"
"I'd like to speak to Sheriff Daniels."
"Hold on."
"Hi this is Sheriff Daniels, may I ask who this is?"
"Liam Payne."
"Mr.Payne, I had a feeling you'd call."
"I want to propose a deal", I say calmly.
"I'm listening."
"If you let Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, and Harry Styles go, I'll turn myself in."
"Would you like to get that in writing?"
"Not on your watch. If I come into the station, you can't arrest me."
"Deal. If you come in the station, no one will lock you in a cell or question you. We'll write up a contract for the trade."
"Good, better think fast Sheriff."
I hang up and start towards the horrifying building.
Once I reach it, I hesitate. Feeling a new surge of energy though, I walk straight in and to the Sheriff's office in the back.
"Nice to see you again Mr.Payne. Now where do we start?"
