Under Pressure *Completed*

chapter 26

*Harry*

My eyes peep open slowly, the light blinding me from the window. Didn't I shut those blinds? Wait how did I even manage to be in my room?

"Harry?" I heard a small whisper come from the doorway. It opens slowly and Ellie pops her head round the door.

"Yeah? Come in, come in!" I voice is still groggy from morning voice. She sees me and opens the door wider.

"How are you feeling Haz?" she creeps over to the bed and sits opposite me, I'm still lying down, but this isn't the first time she's seen me.

"I'm alright, still a little bummed out about Niall not being here, but yesterday the police man was really nice, and I have a strong feeling we're gonna find Niall" she nods and sighs, I do hope I find Niall as I really can't be doing without him, he's the reason I wake up, the reason I enjoy coming to work, to my job, The reason I enjoy living. I love Niall with all my heart and I hope he loves me. I know he loves me.

"We'll find him Harry, don't worry" she brushes the stray hair away from my face and keeps her hand there slowly caressing my forehead with her thumb.

"I hope so" she takes her hand away and gives me a small but reassuring smile.

She leaves me be in my own room, where I used to lie with Niall, his scent still on his pillow, but he's not here, some asshole took him! I regret taking him out that day, the worst always happens, is it wrong that I'm not even bothered if the word gets out that Niall is pregnant, I just want him in my arms and safe again, I just want to hold him once more. I want to be able to hold our baby. Just once.

I sit up and rub my eyes, letting the light set into them. I lift the blanket off me and shake my hair into place, yeah that'll Do.

I wander through the upstairs area of this house since I never really did, I come to the door next to mine and Nialls room, which is Louis and ellies room.

"Hi Harry! What you doing?" Louis asks me.

"Just looking around" he nods and continues on his phone, with Eleanor laughing every now and then.

I approach the next room, that's Liam's and Zayn's, I don't bother looking in there, they're probably fucking.

I see a small door on the ceiling and there's a cord coming down from it. Must be the attic?

I pull it and it creaks a load, quite noisy actually. Once it's opened, there's a staircase which i climb up slowly and carefully so I don't Fall, I look inside the area the door leads to and it reveals an attic like I predicted.

I climb all the way in and look around. There's all cassette players everywhere.

But then a red door catches my eye.

I walk to it and grab the handle. I push it down and to my surprise it's actually open.

I push it, but it doesn't budge, but it opens slightly, ugh. I don't know, it's open because it moved slightly!

I give it a big push and it cracks open, revealing more stairs.

I go up them out of curiosity. They're long and dusty but there's light so I can actually see, but no one has been up these for years it appears.

When i reach the end I'm shocked with what I see.

A massive balcony with flowers and the sun shines down on it, in fact you can access the roof! I climb up the small ladder on the side that leads to the roof.

I perch at the very top of the house and look across the land.

*Niall*

I'm left alone. Alone and beaten. Beaten so much it's painful.
