Euphonious Memories {H.S}

12.

When I wake up, it's dark, cold, and lonely. I looked around trying to remember where I was.

The last thing I remembered was Niall admitting to me that he murdered Harry's sister. I knew that I had to still be in his house.

The room is dark and big, but I couldn't see anything. Suddenly I felt a sharp pain the the back of my head. Niall must have hit me to make me pass out.

I tried to bring my hand to my head to feel it, but I couldn't. That's when I realized that my hands were tied up.

Niall had locked me in a room and tied me up. What if he was planning on burying me alive too? At this thought, I began to freak out. I was scared of the dark and it was pitch black in here.

I tried to get my hands out of the things tying them together, but soon realized that it was a zip tie. I sat there chewing on it for 20 minutes trying to break it, but nothing happened. Then I got an idea.

I untied my shoelaces on my converses and used my mouth to put one shoelace through the zip tie in between my hands. Once it was through, I tied the end of it to the shoelace on my other foot, tying my shoes together.

I stretched my feet out in front of me and started moving them like I was peddling a bike. Finally the zip tie broke.

I then took the duct tape off of my mouth and stood up. But as soon as I did, I fell because I hadn't realized that my feet were tied with a rope. I untied the rope and finally was untied completely.

I walked up a small staircase up to a door and tried to open it. As I assumed it was locked. I had no way out. There were no windows, no other doors, and no one knew where I was.

I went to sit back down, and when I did I smiled to myself realizing what was in my back pocket.

I quickly grabbed my phone out of the pocket and turned it on. My smile faded when I saw that I had only 2% battery left. That meant I only had time to contact one person.

I knew I couldn't call anyone because Niall could hear me. So I tap on messages and click on the first name I saw in the screen. I click on share my location, and right as I clicked the send button, my phone went dead.

I had no idea if the message went through. If it did I know Harry would read it and if he didn't understand it he would when I didn't return home.

I looked around trying to see things in the dark. I look beside me and vaguely see my purse lying on the floor. I scrambled over to it and opened it looking inside. There is lipstick, hand sanitizer, chapstick, my wallet, and....PEPPER SPRAY!!!

Relief flooded through me knowing that I had a weapon to use against Niall if he tried anything.

I laid down on the floor, curling up into a ball. I roll my eyes thinking of how dumb Niall was for not taking my purse or phone, but I was glad that he didn't.

All that I could do was wait. Wait for Harry to find me hopefully. Or wait for Niall to open up the door so that I could pepper spray him and make a run for it.

And so I waited, but neither of those things happened. It was just me alone in the black room curled up in a ball silently crying.

I fell asleep and woke up in the same position that I had been in for a while. Suddenly I heard a door slam, but it wasn't from the room that I was in.

"Where is she?!" I heard a familiar deep raspy British accent say. And relief flooded through me as I stood up.

"Where is who?" I heard Niall ask in a fake innocent tone. I then heard a loud thump and a crash. I didn't know what had happened.

"Skyler? Are you here?" Harry called out.

"I'm here! I'm down here!" I yelled back with desperation in my tone.

A few moments later the door of the dark room opened and light flooded the darkness. Harry was standing there with his hand on the door knob. I ran to him and put my arms around his neck, sobbing into his shoulder. He put his arms around me and squeezed me tightly and I felt safe.

When I let go, I had tears streaming down my face.

I looked behind Harry to see Niall standing up coming towards us. I then grabbed my pepper spray and walked over to him. I pressed the button on the tiny bottle and aimed toward his eyes. He let out a yelp covering his eyes.

"That should teach you a lesson." I said as I walked back over to Harry.

"I'm calling the police." Harry told me, pulling his phone out of his pocket.

As we waited for the police to arrive we sat there on Niall's couch.

"So I guess my text came through?"

"Yeah. I was confused at first,but then I realized that this was Niall's house and that you had been gone a long time."

"Well you saved me." I said smiling at him. He gave me a small smile back. Then the police knocked on the door.
