Chapter 21

~How many nights have you wished someone would stay?~

Harry was sitting next to Lottie at the service, who didn't care that her brother wasn't there. Anne was also there, trying to calm Harry down. The whole event seemed to be getting to his head, however, and he waited until there was no time left for his boyfriend and Liam to walk through that door.

They didn't.

Harry clapped with no sound when Niall came through the doors, holding onto Palmer, the other best man's, arm. Harry finally noticed for the first time now that Palmer had a prosthetic leg in the place of his right one. But he walked with ease, so it was clear that he had had this ailment for many years.

Luke had taken the position as the groom, coming out before Zayn. But when Zayn came out, every guy in the room was suddenly gay for him. Harry wished he looked that good at his own wedding, preferably to Louis. Zayn looked effortless, and beaming with happiness. Luke was also beaming, and looked exceptional as well - really proving his nickname true; Hot Luke.

Zayn slowly walked down the aisle, his father on his arm. Luke's dad wasn't at the service, but Harry knew better than to press into the issue. Zayn had his moment. He walked down the aisle to his man, and appeared starstruck looking up at him.

And just as the ceremony began, in came the police.

---

One official looking man came through the door with three pieces of paper in his hands. "I'm sorry for interrupting this service." He started with. "But I need Perrie Edwards, Palmer Scott, and...Luke Davies to come with me."

"What is this about?" Zayn asked, throwing a hand over Luke's chest to stop him from moving.

"Tell Louis I'll fry him!" Luke screamed at Harry. Niall pulled Zayn back, but Zayn shook Niall off.

"Did Louis do this? Did Louis turn them in?" Zayn asked, stalking towards Harry, who panicked and got out of the way of the police officers escorting Perrie, Palmer, and Luke out. Lottie went in front of Harry, as if to protect him.

"These are warrants for their arrest. They are involved in some heavy money laundering, and there was a powerful individual in New York who came forward with information on their company. They'll be kept at the county jail until their lawyers arrive." The official said, stopping Zayn in his tracks.

Zayn was obviously freaking out. He had no idea what was going on, and whipped his head everywhere. "This wasn't Louis." Harry repeated to Lottie, who shushed him. Anne held onto Lottie's leg to keep herself in the situation.

"That powerful individual was Simon Cowell, wasn't it?" Zayn screamed. Zayn's mom and dad came and restrained him, and Niall ran up to Harry, looking shooken up.

"I have to go." He said, running a hand through his hair. "All of these police are making me antsy. Like really antsy."

"Yeah." Harry said, standing. "I better leave and go find Louis and Liam and tell them what happened. See you at home?"

"Yeah." Niall shouted, heading towards the back door.

Before he could make it there, another, larger swarm of police came in through both doors. Niall screamed as cops seized him, and dragged him to the ground. Harry began to move, as did most of the wedding guests. This was far too much to be happening at one wedding. "Harry, call my mum! Harry!" Niall was screaming and crying and thrashing uselessly, but it was clear that the jig was up.

No one can outrun the police forever.

No one can escape prison and live to tell the tale.

And no one can escape prison twice.

"Who's Harry?" Someone official asked. "Did anyone in this room know that this man was a wanted criminal? He broke out of prison!" Zayn, Lottie, and Anne were all silent on not knowing Harry, and he was grateful for that. "Anyone who assisted this man in evading the police is looking at jail time." Anne twitched in her seat, and Lottie urged Harry to sit down, which he did.

The room was dead silent.

Harry's lips quivered. He didn't know how they had found Niall. He didn't know why Luke was arrested.

Once the police left with Niall, and the room was finally empty again, Harry sat there in shock. Zayn ran out of the room to the nearest car to get to county, and Anne patted her son's leg. "What do we need to do?" She said calmly.

"I need Louis." Harry said, replaying Niall's struggle in his head. "And we need to call Niall's mum, but I don't know her number."

"She'll find out." Lottie said. "He's high profile. Now, let's call Louis."

A burst of anger filled Harry at the whole situation. Yes, let's do call Louis, Harry thought. Won't this be a pleasant surprise for the little wedding skipper.
