Trapped in Their World

Chapter 37

Jaylee's POV

My heart beat was rapid against my chest as I stayed silent, pressed against the cold brick wall. Both Harry and Zayn were staring at me intensely with worry in their eyes as I looked into the distance.

"Jaylee, what is your plan? Whatever the hell it is, it better be good and fast or else we'll die here in a minute." Harry whispered as I looked to my left.

"Do any of you have bombs?" I questioned quietly, now looking at both of them. They shook their heads after thinking for a moment. "Do any of you know how to make one?" I asked, now raising my eyebrows. "Sweetheart, course I do, I'm in a gang." Harry said bitterly but with a slight smirk.

"That'll be good enough, there's a few houses down the block, let's run over there and hide. They'll come looking for us but they won't know that we'll be setting traps." I whispered as they looked at me.

"How am I going to make bombs?" Harry asked. "There's a chance that there's supplies in the houses down there." I said, pointing a shaky finger in the distance. They looked in that direction before back at me. "Well, that'll do for now." Zayn nodded his head before bullets started to fly by.

We all gasped and ducked even though we were already protected by the large wall before we crawled away swiftly. "Alright let's go! Hurry!" Harry yelled through the loud gunshots. We crawled on our hands and knees before getting back onto our feet and sprinting towards the houses.

I began to pant as I realized how out of shape I was when it came to running. I wasn't ever use to this. I knew Zayn was the fastest runner out of the five but he stayed right by my side the whole time, securing my body with one of his arms wrapped around my waist.

"Gotta run faster Jaylee, come on." Zayn panted beside me as he dragged me a bit. I was whimpering and shaking, feeling my heart thud violently. I felt like I was going to pass out at any moment but I refused to stop running. Death was waiting for us right behind our backs.

"Quick, get inside." Harry said as he reached the house and kicked it open, holding the door for us. Zayn and I quickly ran inside before we scurried to the kitchen and ducked down. Harry then slammed the door shut and locked the knob before ducking down towards the window with his gun ready.

We all were panting loudly in the abandoned house as sweat started to form on my temples. "That was a close call, thank god these houses were here or else we would of been screwed." Zayn said out of breath as I looked over at him.

"Yeah. Good call Jaylee." Harry mumbled with his intense eyes still fixed on the outdoors. "What about the others? How will we know they're safe?" I asked with worried eyes as Zayn looked over at me.

"Our belts have tracking devices. Niall made them. We'll all meet each other up once they start to blink. Louis has the button to that." Zayn said quietly as I listened. "And what about me?" I asked. "Yours is in your shirt." Zayn said, tugging it a bit.

"Yeah. So you can't escape us at all anymore. We'll always know where you're at. But consider that a lucky charm in case someone snags ya and you're taken. We'll be able to find you." Harry said.

"What if someone takes off my shirt?" I whimpered. "Then I'll rip their heads off." Zayn replied with a clenched jaw. He then cupped my face, making me gasp and shake in fear. "No one touches you, remember? You're my girl." Zayn said as he rubbed his thumbs across my skin.

"Zayn. When will we know this is all over?" I asked as tears filled in my eyes. He sighed as he shook his head a bit. "Sadly, I'm not too sure myself. But I guess we will figure that out later." He whispered.

"Alright. Gather up some supplies for me Zayn if you can find any to make a bomb while I keep watch and guard the door. They could be here any minute." Harry said as Zayn released me and started to search through the cabinets.
