*Laney POV*

I watched from the door as Harry pulled two bags from his closet. He began shuffling through drawers and pulling out piles of clothes. I stood there, not moving, not sure what was going on. He said we were getting out of here, but where were we going to go? A voice brought me out of my thoughts and I saw Harry looking at me with worry on his face.

"Laney. Come on, pack your stuff. We need to get out of here!" He had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead and his hands were shaking. I could hear his ragged breathing as he continued to run between the bathroom, the dresser, and the closet.

I walked towards the bed where he was standing over his bag, shoving things in it. I placed my hands on his back and he stopped. I grabbed his arms and flipped him around.

"Harry. Where are we going?" I tried to keep my voice firm and strong. I was freaking out on the inside, but I didn't want to add to his panic. I could tell he wasn't sure when his face fell and he got that look in his eyes that told me he was trying to figure it out.

"Wh-where are we....where are we going...going..where..?" He began pacing back and forth across the room. I watched as his facial expressions changed step after step. Eventually he stopped, right in the middle of the room. He pulled his phone from his pocket and pressed the buttons vigorously. He held it up to his ear and tapped his foot as he ran his free hand through his messy hair.

"Hey Robin! Is my mum there? ...Oh um, is Gemma there? ...Well I was just wondering if, erm. If we could just come...me and Laney...come over for awhile. Just uh, visit you guys...at your place...just me and Laney for awhile."

His thoughts were completely jumbled. When he looked at me I mouthed the word 'breath' to him. He took a deep breath and nodded his head.

"Oh yeah. That's great...th-thank you! ...When? Oh erm...well..." He looked around the room, his eyes landing on the digital clock. It was just after ten in the morning. "Probably nine or ten hours." I waited for a minute, thinking that Robin might tell him we couldn't come today.

"Yeah I know it's short notice, but thank you so much! I will text you guys when we leave!" He hung up the phone without saying goodbye. He continued to rush around the room, grabbing odds and ends to stuff in his bag.

"Laney! Please we don't have time to stand around!" He grabbed my wrist and pulled me across the hall into Liam's room. I was a little confused at first as he started going through drawers, but when he reached the bottom drawer, I saw that it was filled with a bunch of Sophia's clothes.

Harry used both hands and grabbed the whole drawer, walking back to his room and emptying it's contents all over his bed. "I think this should be enough for you until we can get to a store in London or something.

It suddenly clicked in my mind of where we were going. I knew his family lived in the UK, but it didn't dawn on me until he actually said London. "We're going to London." My voice was soft and it came out as a statement, but Harry took it as a question.

"Yes. Yes we are, now if we can just get this stuff packed we can leave." He was shoving all of Sophia's clothes into my bag and attempting to get it zipped. Less than five minutes later he had both bags in his hands, a cellphone and keys in his pocket, and a coat and boots.
