Away

Chapter38

-LOUIS' POV-

I sit in the car and watch out the window.

The officers didn't take the handcuffs off of me when they put me in here.

I let out a breath in the form of a sigh.

The only noises in the car come from the radio.

There is a female officer and she is much stronger than you would think. She is blonde and somewhat tall, compared to Cerulean at least.

The other officer is a man who is shorter than me by about an inch. He's older, probably somewhere in his late 40's.

And I, of course, am myself.

When we reach the police station I am escorted to a small, empty cell in the back.

The female officer stays with me. She locks the cell behind me then reaches through and unlocks my handcuffs.

I look at my wrists and see they are somewhat red.

I say nothing and lean against the wall in sweatpants and my jean jacket.

It smells a bit like Cerulean.

I close my eyes at the thought of her name.

I start to see her face and see her eyes and I hear her voice.

"Hey, uh, kid?"

I open my eyes and look at the officer with an unamused face. "What?"

'Now that you've ruined the picture in my head I had of the one person who's even considered having feelings for me, what. What do you fucking want.'

"Stay awake for now. No sleeping."

I glare at her. "Fine."

I turn away and put my head and hands palm-down on the smooth concrete of the wall.

'Why do I hurt everyone? Why am I such a screw up?'

-LIAMS POV-

Kyle was taken away in the ambulance about ten minutes ago. We are all just sitting here in silence.

I am in a cushioned rocking chair. Niall is on the leather recliner. Zayn is sitting on the far end of the couch, and Cerulean is sitting on a wooden chair.

All three of them are staring at different parts of the room.

They do not know I am watching them as we sit.

What the crap happened while I was gone?

Louis turned into some raging maniac.

Harry is.. different. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I know there's something not right.

Niall is clinging to me like.. something happened, I guess. Something happened and I wasn't there for him when it did.

Zayn is kind of out of it, but at the same time it seems like he's interacting with all of it, just from a distance. He's a hands-on guy, so that's strange for him.

And then this girl they've picked up.

Cerulean. Cerulean Anderson.

Brunette, short, scary bright blue eyes, and a winning smile.

She seems nice enough.

She seems to jump from guy to guy quickly, though.

The therapist in me wants to focus on that and think about it.

How can she do that without feeling anything?

At least, it never appears as though she feels anything.

She just... goes.

There has to be some reason, because these boys would not fall for some robot.

But that's what she is when this shit is going on.

I'm sorry, brain. I'm just confused right now.

I don't know anything about her, other than she this is her job and she has a history with every single one of them besides me.

So what happened? There has to be something.

I don't know what it is, though.

I guess I'll ask someone who knows.

And who knows better than her brother's right hand man?

I stand up and walk through everyone's field of vision to the door.

"W-Where are you going, Liam?" Niall asks in a small voice.

"Don't worry, I'll be back. I'm just going out to.. do some research."

"What for?" Zayn asks, looking at me with a dead expression.

"University," I answer.

Cerulean nods. "Come back safely."

I nod and walk out to my car.

"University of Liam's Brain Mysteries," I mutter, pulling out of the driveway.

(A/N: Okay, idk if I said this already, but I'm gonna say this right now, but our wifi is out- AGAIN!- so I have to try and scrounge wifi from anywhere I can.

Also, I feel kinda Evil Author, bc I still haven't told you about the remainder of Zerulean's talk from the last chapter..

Haha sorry if you'd put it out of your mind, I had to bring it up.

We have gotten almost 200 reads on THE FIRST CHAPTER ALONE SO A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR MY DARLING ROSES!!!

I wanted to thank you guys for sticking around, it really means a lot to me. (:

I'm actually working on two new stories right now! One of them is fiction and *gasp* NOT A FANFICTION! HOW COULD I?! Haha, idk, but it's not, so.. *shrug* The other one is a writing reference book and it's basically a assistance book for self editing. Their beginnings should be published when this is, if not before then. If something changes, I'll tell you.

Sooo news! The day I am writing this is Thursday, the fourth of September and I lost my voice today. It sucks and my throat hurts like crazy.

Also, if you don't know me in person, you wouldn't know this, but it's my two month anniversary for being an otaku! YAAAAYY!

I read manga when we were outside to my friends today, but I didn't tell them the special occasion.

Ummm this chapter goes to:

@RainbowKittyKawaii

Mostly bc she's awesome and one of my best friends and a writer! She's also Japanese and had a really hard first day of school which was actually her first day of high school in America, so send her some love, please?

Also, I just really want hugs lately. My hug level is in red zone. If anyone has some spare ones, I would really appreciate it!

Thank you once again my Roses! I love you!
