Painted Red ( One Direction )

Chapter 6

Sarah's POV

" Hi, Harry " I stay frozen in my step and stare at the boy in confusion. The both of us stood there, confused and not knowing what to do.

" Sarah, what are you doing here? " He put the bowl of popcorn down on the counter beside him. Victoria was about to make an appearance but I shoved her head away and slammed the door behind me before he could see anything.

" I, uh I came here to see you " I smile at the boy. What's he doing in the drug dealers home? Is he the drug dealer?

" Oh really, how did you find out I live here? " He genuinely smiled back, still confused. I fidgeted with my fingers before knowing what to say.

" I have to pee, where's the bathroom? " I change the topic and catch him off guard. This is beyond awkward but to top it all off, it was also terrifying. He pointed towards the door down the hall and to the left with his finger, my legs scurrying to get inside that private room.

I give a small smile back as I step inside and shut the door behind me, my back pressed against the door as I sigh. Immediately, I pull out my phone and search through my messages, scanning to find Victoria's name. Luckily, her name was easy to find along with Casey, my other best friend, who got kidnapped. And probably is in this very house.

Sarah: Stay in the basement and hide for a while. I'll distract Harry, the door is unlocked. You can search the house to see if you can find any clue of where Casey is. Or if Casey is in his home ...

Victoria: Ok. Make sure that we don't get caught. Wait Harry????!

Sarah: I know ... We'll talk about this later

" I still don't get why Regina George finds popularity so important " I sit next to Harry as we watch Mean Girls. We were both on the living room couch and I'm trying my best to pull of my acting skills, still terrified a little.

" Are you sure that you don't want any popcorn? I can go get some for you " He speaks, about to to the kitchen, but I grab his hand and nod my head, noticing Victoria in the kitchen as she crawled on the floor, making her way to the other rooms.

Harry turns off the tv and looks at me with furrowed eyebrows, putting the empty bowl of popcorn down. He sat there looking at me, the two of us silent.

" What's going on? " He quietly asks. I don't know what to do, I can't exactly tell the truth. The only option is to lie. Before I could speak Harry begins to talk again.

" You told me that you came here to see me ... But you don't look like you're having a good time. Did I do something wrong? " He genuinely asks. There's no way he's the drug dealer, or apart of this. No one is that good at acting. I look up to him, seeing remorse in his eyes.

" You did nothing wrong, I'm just naturally awkward " I chuckle, receiving a small smile. It was silent once again, Harry began to sit closer next to me. He grabbed my petite hand into his large palm, looking up at me to see if I was ok with it.

" I don't know how you're going to feel about this but I'm going to regret this if I don't do it " He slowly speaks. No one is that good at acting. Expecting to get attacked or kidnapped I begin to get nervous, not finding any words to say I sat there stuttering, until I felt lips placed against mines.

I was shocked, but I think Victoria was more shocked as I saw her watching the scene. Harry was oblivious of our plan, a rush of guilt running through my veins. But even though he could possibly be a dangerous drug-dealer, I still felt protected and safe when I was with him.

The both of us pulled away, smiling as our foreheads rested on each others.

" I, uh, don't know what to say " I mumble, still feeling the tingling sensation on my lips.

" Say that you felt the same way about the kiss as I did " His raspy voice spoke, causing shivers down my spine. I nodded. The both of us still smiling.

" I have to go right now, maybe we can see each other next Saturday " I ask, my hands inside my pocket, feeling the vibration of my phone.

" Next Saturday it is, so I'm guessing that you prefer the back door than the front " He repeated and I walked towards the door, looking back to receive a small smile from him. I open the door, and step out. What just happened?

I saw Victoria standing there in the basement, walking back and forth. She looked at me with a small smile but then frowned.

I pull out my phone, and look at the message I received two minutes.

Victoria: I know where Casey is
