The Shadow //Larry S/Lirry/Zarry/Narry

Chapter 8

I got up and rubbed my throat. I heard the front door slam. I ran to the bathroom and grabbed Louis.

I cradled him in my arms for what felt like forever. He was unconscious now. I got up and grabbed a Nike rucksack from the closet and shoved all the clothes I could in the bag. And grabbed the food I got earlier, and stuffed it in the top.

I put the bag on the bed and picked up Louis again. I replaced my hand holding Louis with my knee to quickly grab the bag. I put it on his stomach and opened the door.
I looked around the house to see that Liam was gone. The front door was surprisingly unlocked.
I looked around.
Niall was sitting there smoking.

He turned and looked at me.
"Woah. Who is that? Is he okay?"
I shook my head franticly.
He opened the passenger side door that he was leaning on. I tried to smile and got in the car. Louis still in my arms.
He was so little that he fit perfectly in my arms.

"So wh-" niall started

"Your boyfriend is psyco!!!" I half shouted.

"What do you mean?" Niall asked looking a hurt and confused.

"Have you never been in his closet???"

"No?" Niall started "he won't let me. "

Louis shifted and groaned but remained asleep.

I leaned down and kissed his forehead.

I looked up and Niall was focused on the road.
I stroked Louis ' hair. He looked awful.

"Liam would never-"

" but he did." I stated.

Niall just shook his head.

" when you get back. If he asks where we are, just say we went on a walk. Please. ," I paused " He kidnapped me and zayn. And Louis too I'm guessing."

"I knew that he had MPD, but I didn't think it was this bad. Liam could never hurt a fly! At least not the liam I fell in love with." Niall stated shaking his head again.

"I met Liam at a bar. We... hooked up. I didn't know you were dating. I'm sorry." I said looking at Louis tracing the lines by his eyes that his smile had created.

"That cheating bastard!!!" Niall yelled hitting the steering wheel.

A tear rolled down my cheek. Because it was my fault.

I was the one to get us into this mess.
And I was sure to get me and Louis out of it.

Niall slammed on the breaks and I looked up again. There was a dog that ran in front of the car. The dog strolled off unharmed.

He hit the steering wheel really hard and stayed stopped.
He put his head in his hands and started crying.

"Niall I'm so sorry."

"No. Don't be Harry. It's my fault I'm so stupid. He has cheated on me before," niall stopped.

"Once a cheater always a cheater I guess." He said as he started driving again.

After that he didn't say anything.

When we pulled up to the hospital, as niall was stopping, I hoped out. Louis was a bit heavy in my arms now that I had been holding him for a few minutes.

I ran through the doors as fast as i could.

"Help! There's no time to waste, please get him healthy!!!" I yelled through the emergency room.

It took a few seconds but some nurses brought around a stretcher.

"Honey, you will have to wait here." The nurse said as she held her arm out, stopping me from going back with Louis.

"But you don't understand! He's not doing good! Please!" I whined.

" I'm sorry love, but you really cannot come back." She said and turned to catch up with the other nurses.

Tears brimmed my eyes. I saw niall run in through the sliding doors. All I could do is run into his arms.

"Let's go get coffee and a decent meal. And then we can talk about what happened. Is that okay?" Niall suggested.

"I can't ... l-leave Louis. I just can't-t." I said in between gasps.

"We will come back. I promise harry." Niall looked at me with empathetic eyes.

"Okay. Just let me c-check something."

Niall nodded.
"I'm going to go get the car. Just wait in here for me okay?"

He turned and walked out the doors.

I walked up to the front desk.

"Alright sweetie. So what was the young man's name if whom you brought in?" The receptionist asked.

"Uhm. L-louis. I don't-t remember his last name. He w-was kidnapped.. and I was-s too." ... "I don't think that he has eaten anything in about a week."

"Or longer." "Honey, did you say you were kidnapped?" She asked calmly but questioningly.

"Yes. His name is Liam payne, he is about 5'11 and he is dirty blonde and has four arrows for a tattoo."

She nodded, as she jotted down the information I had.

" I will send in a report, and they should check it out."

I nodded.
"I will be back. I swear." I said. " I am just starving."

"Go eat love. Because if what your saying is correct, you need it."

I nodded and started jogging out the door. "I'LL BE BACK!"

I hopped back into the passanger seat of Nialls car.

Niall looked over at me occasionally.

My hand was sitting on the consol and Niall reached over and grabbed my hand.

I looked down at our now intertwined fingers confused.

It oddly didn't bother me very much.
We pulled into a small diner.

I looked over at niall.

"Don't mind me." I said.

I leaned in and Niall did the same.  His lips crashed onto mine. I pulled away.

I looked at him.  He stared back longingly.

I kissed him again.  This time longer. He grabbed my neck.  And I grabbed his.

I pulled away finally after a few minutes. 

"Let's go eat." Niall said.

After we were seated, he looked across the table at me. 

"So what happened?"

I told him the whole story.

I left out the part about the razors.

He grabbed my hand again.
"I'm sorry Harry. I didn't know he could be that nasty."

"Neither did i." I paused. "And now Louis' life is in jeopardy" I said.

The waitress came around and asked what we wanted to drink. She was quite pretty. She had light skin, hazel eyes and bright pastel pink hair.

" do you serve alcohol?" Niall asked.

She nodded.

"Can i get a beer?"

She wrote it down.
"And for you cutie?" The waitress asked pointing the pen at me.

"I will just have a strawberry fizz"  i said smiling.
She nodded and walked away.

After we were done eating a giant meal and making friends with each other the panic started again.

Will Louis be Okay?

We got in the car and drove back to the hospital in silence. Niall didn't hold my hand this time which made the ride feel a whole lot longer.
