A Liam Payne Love Story

Chapter 8

RACHEL POV:

“Mom, I’m going out.” I call out to my mother. I step out of the house before I even hear her reply.

I’ve been home for a week now, and honestly, it’s been pretty miserable. I kept my distance from a lot of my friends this week. The boys texted me this week. They all asked if I was okay or that they miss me. All except one boy. I had a feeling he wouldn’t text me after reading my note, where I confessed my love to him when he’s so obviously in love with Danielle, but I still hoped.

I decided that I was just going to go for a walk around the neighbourhood. Maybe even around the park. I just needed time to think about things and forget everything.

When I got to the park I started to get this strange feeling that I was being watched. I pushed the feelings back and just kept walking. The park was empty today. Not a single person in it besides me. Suddenly a hand is clasped over my mouth. I try to escape but there is no use. Something sharp-a needle perhaps- is stuck into my arm. It makes me feel weak, and then my world turns into darkness.

I slowly managed to open my eyes only to be greeted with more darkness. My hands and feet were bound tightly. It hurt a lot when I tried to escape them. I tried to my body but my whole body just felt heavy. Then suddenly a light turns on from the other side of the room. “Hello, Rachel,” I heard an unfamiliar voice say. “Who a-are yo-u-u?” I stuttered. I was terrified. The man then walked closer to me until he was right in front of me. “My name is Caleb Michaels. I’m William’s brother. I’m here for revenge.”

LIAM POV:

Ever since Rachel left, its like my world has been ripped into pieces. The girl I loved-scratch that, love tells me that she loves me, at the same time she tells me to forget about her. How do I just forget a girl like her? I didn’t text her, I thought that maybe if I didn’t listen to what she asked of me then maybe she would just push me away even more.

What I did though, is break up with Danielle, again. I do feel bad for the girl, I was basically using her to get over my feelings for Rachel, even though that didn’t work. It didn’t feel right to still date Dani when I love Rachel with every piece of my heart. Even though she walked away from me I would still always love her. I can’t move on. Rachel Collins would always and forever have my heart.

Ring ring

My phone rang interrupting my thoughts. “Hello?” I answered.

“Liam, thank god I got a hold of you.” Rachel’s mom? Wait, why is she calling me? And why does she sound so…worried?

“Mrs. Collins, is everything alright?” I was seriously concerned.

“No, no, no. Nothing is alright, Liam. Nothing.” I could tell she was crying.

“Please tell me what happened.”

“It’s Rachel…” I immediately jumped up when I heard her name.

“What happened?”

“She’s…she’s been….taken.” My heart crumbled into a million pieces. Did she really mean taken, as in kidnappened?

“W-what?” I stuttered out, barely able to find my voice.

“She went out for a walk, when she didn’t come home, I panicked. I called the police, and it turns out that they received a note that said ‘The Collins girl is mine… She will pay for what happened to my brother.” She was full on wailing now. My eyes were on the verge of letting the tears that they were holding fall. He was going to hurt her, the girl I loved. What if she died? I don’t know if I could live without her.

“I’m coming back.” She knew  what I meant when the words left my mouth. The tour was returning to the UK and we had a two week break before the shows started again. I was going back to Wolverhampton and I was going to find her. I had too.

We said are goodbyes and I sat on the floor and let the tears flow.

The boys walked over to me and I explained what had happened. When I finished what I told them, they all had tears in their eyes. I can’t believe this is happening.
