After Me

Chapter 51

Song for this chapter: Angel With a Shotgun by The Cab

Alex's POV

I kept my head own, hearing the sound of the door opening I still didn't look up.

"Alex?" The quiet voice said.

"What?" I snarled at Cody as I looked up. He looked down and took a step forward, making sure to keep his distance.

"I... I never wanted this to happen, this is Luke's idea, not mine. I never wanted to hurt you..I'm sorry" He said in a low voice.

"Well guess what Cody, It's a little too late for an apology isn't it? I am never going to forgive you for what you have done to us. Never. You betrayed my trust." I said almost yelling. Louis stirred in his sleep and I lowered my voice. "Leave, I don't need your pity asshole" I said. He looked hurt, but I knew it had to be an act.

"I'm.. I'm just sorry." He whispered leaving the room. I crossed my arms over my chest and turned and glared at the wall. I want to be home not here. I even got poor Louis dragged into this.

"Alex?" Louis asked.

"Yeah Lou?" I said gently.

"How long was I asleep?" He questioned.

"Not long." I replied.

"Were going to get out of here, I promise." He told me.

"Hopefully.." I said out of energy. Louis got up and sat next to me, holding me in his arms as we tried brightening the mood, talking about nothing and everything.

Liam's POV

I've been on the computer non stop the last couple days, looking up the names of the people connected to Harry's dad and Alex's dad business. I've only come across a couple of articles but only a little bit useful like the names of the people involved. The next person I looked up was Luke Ashford. My computer loaded and a bunch of articles popped up. I clicked on the first one saw. It went on about they are trying to catch him because he is accused of multiple murders and kidnappings. Wow, that brightens my thoughts. I scrolled more until I came across where they said he was last seen. New Jersey. My jaw dropped as I hit print and called the boys in.

"What is it mate?" Zayn asked. Niall nodded his head sleepily. Harry crossed his arms acting uncomfortable.

"New Jersey." I said simply. They all looked puzzled as I went on to explain. "Luke was last seen in New Jersey, she could be there."

"Liam, we don't know when that could have bee-" Zayn started but I cut him off.

"We have to try." I said blankly.

"I agree." Harry siad. We looked at him shocked because he has not said anything the past couple days.

"Guys, I'm sorry for being such a selfish jerk, I should have told her, this is all my fault." He said looking at us all.

"It's okay Harry, we forgive you, just don't keep something like this from her next time." Niall said giving him a bro hug, in which we got up and joined in.

"So, where do we start?" Niall asked.

"Plane tickets." I said with a smile clicking on a link.

I fee like we've been in this situation too many times these past couple of months.

Cody's POV

I really didn't want this, I was threatened into this stupid job by Luke. I didn't want Alex hurt at all, but now she hates me. I don't blame her either I deserve to be hated. I betrayed her but I did not want to. I hope one day she forgives me though.. I'd like to be friends again. And I hope her boyfriend and friends find us, I know they are smart enought to.

"Cody! Go check on the prisoners." Luke smirked. I stood up and took a deep breath. He's going to get what he deserves one day..

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Harry's POV

I didn't want to go back into darkness, so I started looking at everything on a positive outlook, or at least tried to. I hope she forgives me, I really do, I'm a selfish asshole but.. Well there is no but's I just pray she does. After Liam said we should try New Jersey I doubted this a little since well Luke could have moved to another place by now. But it's a start to tracking them down. Even though we have no idea where we are going, Still a good start.. I put my head phones in and began packing all my shit up. Turning on Look After You by The Fray to remind me of Alex. Smiling at the memories I continued to pack for the long journey ahead of us.

Niall's POV

I continued to cram as much food as I possibly could in the suitcase, succeeding in getting most of it.

"Niall, what are you doing lad?" Liam asked popping his head in.

"Nothing." I replied sitting on my suitcase to force it shut. He shook his head with a face palm as I shrugged my shoulders and continued to attempt to zipper the suitcase shut. With one last tug, it forcefully shut. Doing a happy dance I pulled it out to the hallway.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zayn's POV

I still doubt that they are there but its worth a shot, you know? I absolutely hate packing, I usually just throw everything in and try zippering until it does. I'm just too lazy to fold everything nice and neat and organize my things.

"Were leaving tomorrow morning at 8am sharp." Liam said sticking his head in the room.

"Okay, got it" I said as I continued to put stuff in.

Well, this is going to be a long ass journey.
