Chapter Twenty- Goodbye Paris

Chapter Twenty

Louis' POV

I gasp at the sight of the person responsible for hitting the door open. Oh thank God. I try to yell his name but there was tape across my lips. Eleanor gasped and ran to hide behind me. Oh yeah, cause I can do SOOO much to save you, being tied to a chair. Great thinking Eleanor. I shake my head and I can hear her wimpering and I laugh. She stands up behind me and rips the tape off of my face. "AHHH GOD DAMMIT ELEANOR! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?!" I start screaming, my face burning. Shit. I wish my hands weren't tied together. Gah my face still burns.

"JOSH! HELP!" I yell at him and he runs over to me. "Hey Lou. Why are you tied to a fucking chair? What happened to these three? LIAM?!" Josh says, questions just flowing out of his mouth. "Thank God you're okay Liam. You too, Dani and Caitlyn. I woke up and saw you leave Lou. I looked and noticed that Dani and Caitlyn were gone too so I followed you." he says, as he was working untying my hands. I look behind me and notice El isn't there anymore. I shrug thinking nothing of it until Josh is laying in my lap.

"Josh? JOSH!" I yell at him. Looking up I see Eleanor with a PIPE in her hands! SHE FREAKING HIT JOSH! "Eleanor! WHAT THE HELL?!" I yell at her. She drops the pipe and puts her hands on her hips, "He was interfering Lou. We have to leave now, Lou." she says and starts working on my hands as well. I just sit there staring at Josh as she almost shoves him off of my lap and onto the floor but my foot catches him and I roll him onto the floor.

I look over at Caitlyn, and I notice that Josh had taken the tape off of Liam, Dani and Caitlyn's mouth. Caitlyn's bottom lip was quivering, she was crying. 'Why?' I mouthed to her. She shook her head, 'You aren't leaving me are you?' she mouths back. My eyes grow wide, "NO!" I say out loud. Eleanor looks up, "No what?" she asks. "Nothing." I look back to Caitlyn and she's smiling through her tears. 'I love you.' she mouths, I smile and mouth the same thing back. "Alright, come on." Eleanor says, pulling me to my feet. Oh I guess she got my feet untied too. She pulls me and I look back, 'I'll be right back.' I mouth to them and I see Liam nod, he knows I will keep my word. I turn back around, Eleanor pulling me towards the door. 

We take one step out of the door and Eleanor hits the floor. I gasp, damn did she trip? I look up and notice a man holding a pipe. What is it with pipes? I'm about to scream when the man moves into the light. IT'S THE CAB DRIVER TO THE RESCUE! I squeal and he laughs at me. "You might want to go and save your friends." he says and I run back inside. "Caitlyn! Babe, I will untie you but I have to get Liam and Dani. Dani, take Liam to the hospital. I will get Caitlyn and Josh. We'll meet you at the hospital with Josh." I tell Dani and she complies. 

A few minutes later, Dani and Liam are on their way to the hospital. The taxi dude had called one of his taxi friends and had him take them to the hospital, free of charge. I look at the taxi dude. "Can you call the cops?" I ask and he holds up his phone then points outside. "Done." he says and I notice the sirens. I breathe a sigh of relief. "Eleanor?" I ask. "Ri-Right here." I hear her say. I look over and see here sitting up. I don't think she's all the way concious otherwise she'd be out of here like a rocket.  

"FREEZE! PUT YOUR HANDS UP!" I hear a police officer yell. Thank goodness someone here speaks English. I know like absolutely NO French. Caitlyn, the Taxi Driver, El and I put our hands up. I notice Eleanor is suddenly now sober. The officer comes in with a gun pointed, "No one make a move." He sees Josh, "Is he dead?" I shake my head. He notices Eleanor, "Let's go!" He grabs her hand and they run out of the room. Wait. What just happened? "Toodles! Louis, I'll be back." El screams as she runs away with the 'officer'. Psh. Officer my big ass. 

Caitlyn stands up and runs out after them only to come back to say, "The real cops are here." I sigh and hear a groan. I look down to see Josh opening his eyes. "Josh! You okay buddy?" I ask. He groans in response. "Okay I don't know what that means but I'm gonna take that as a no." I say and he groans again. Alright, its a no. "What time is it, sir?" Caitlyn asks the taxi driver. He looks at his phone, "Erm 4:58am." he says with a frown. "They should be getting up by 8am." I say to Caitlyn who nods in agreement. "Do we tell them?" she asks me. "They already know." Josh says and points passed Caitlyn. I looked passed her and sure enough the rest of the gang came rushing in. A cluster of 'What happened?', 'Are you okay?' and 'Where's Liam and Dani?' were heard throughout the group. I put my hand up and they shut up.

"To answer your questions, Eleanor tried to get me back by kidnapping Liam, Dani and Caitlyn, then me. We are all okay, except for Josh here who was hit by El with a pipe. Liam and Dani are at the hospital. Harry, Taylor, Zayn, and Perrie, go to the hospital and check up on Dani and Liam. Amanda, get over here, Josh is calling for you. Lia and Niall, can you go outside and get the police to come in here? Thanks." I reply and catch my breath. Everyone murmurs okays and go to their destinations. 

I lean back and Caitlyn comes over to me. "Thank you." She murmurs and kisses me on the cheek. I chuckle, "For what, love?" I ask looking down at her. "For saving me. For not leaving me. For loving me. For being you. I love you, Louis William Tomlinson." she says and I see a tear stroll down her face. I sit up, Caitlyn following my movement. I turn around and look her straight in the eyes. "I told you I wouldn't leave you babe. I did what I had to do to make sure you were safe. I didn't save you, Josh and the taxi guy did. But I tried, babe. I wouldn't leave you. The thought of you hurt, killed me. I love you Caitlyn Anne Akers." I say and pull her in for a kiss. We both smile into it and I know we have grown closer since all of this has happened.

*Two hours later*

Liam's POV

The doctor checked me out and said I was fine and released. I was scared shitless. I couldn't believe that Eleanor had kidnapped me. I couldn't believe she had gotten away, but they had put a warrant out for her arrest in all the surrounding countries. We were all back at the hotel, in our separate rooms packing. "Dani." I yell from the bedroom. She walks in, "Yeah, babe?" she asks. I pat the space on the bed next to me. She smiles and walks over, laying down in the spot requested. "Thank you." I say simply. "For what?" she asks, propping her head up on her hand, using her elbow for support.

 "For saving me Dani. For loving me. For still being here with me. You are such an amazing girl and I am so lucky to have you. I couldn't ask for anyone better. I love you will all my heart and that will never change." I tell her, and I could feel tears pricking at my eyes and I let them go. She smiles and I see her eyes water as well. 

She notices, laughs and hits me on the arm lightly, "Liam James Payne, you know I  hate it when I cry. You are so perfect for me. I would've done anything in the world to save you Liam. You should know that. I love you sooo much that it hurts but in a good way. My love for you will never change or ever cease." she says and we kiss lightly. The kiss turns passionate and full of love. God I could kiss her all day long if she'd let me. 

We hear a knock on the door and break apart. I stand up to get it and she goes to pack up the rest of the stuff. I look through the peephole and see the gang on the other side. I open it smiling, "Time to go home, Leyum." Niall says with a smile. I nod and I help Dani grab our stuff. We head downstairs and had called a cab big enough for us all ahead of time. We all piled in and head towards the airport. 

Grabbing our luggage, we headed towards security and went through the routine so familiar to the lads and I. Minutes later we were all on the plane. I kiss Dani on the forehead and look out the window. Good bye Paris.
