* Liz's p.o.v. *

"I will see you later, okay?" Liam asked, turning around in the doorway.

"Yeah. Okay." I answered.

I didn't particularly appreciate that he was coming to check on me everyday. I'm fine.

"Good night, love." He smiled.

"Night." I said, closing the door after he left.

I may as well take a shower before I go to bed to relieve some stress.

I turned on the water after I got ready and climbed in.

It was 10 minutes when I heard a bang from downstairs.

I shrugged it off, thinking I was imagining it. I've been doing that a lot lately, so I just ignored the sound.

I changed into some comfortable clothes, going into my bedroom. Why do I feel like someone is watching me?

I shake it off once again, and head to bed.

Instantly, I fall asleep.

* James' p.o.v. *

"You need to be more careful!" I hiss to my mate, Cody. "You almost walked right in front of her!"

"Sorry!" He whispered back. "How long are we waiting?"

"Not much longer. We need to make sure she is asleep. 15 minutes tops. I remember what it's like when she's asleep. I'll know." I answered.

"We don't have all day! How do we know that another person isn't gonna come to check on her?" My other mate, Jay, asked.

"If they do, we take them too. Not so hard." I said.

"C'mon on....." Cody groaned.

I made a fist, punching him wherever I could. "Shut. Up."

"We're good to go. I just got a text from Ryan, he just pulled up with the van now." Jay said.

I smiled, licking my lips. "Let's do this then. Remember the plan. Get. Out. Fast."

And with that, we went to her room......

* Harry's p.o.v. *

I went to Liz's last night to see how she is doing.

But surprisingly, there was a black van in her driveway. It seemed like either someone was waiting for her, or just went inside, leaving their car on for a second. Her lights were on.

I did wonder why anyone would drive such a creepy looking vehicle like that.

I decided to leave, leaving her and her friend alone.

* Liz's p.o.v. *

This had to be a dream. I am positive it was a dream.

James is dead. Deceased. Gone.

Yet here he was. Standing right in my room. Right in front of me.

"J-James....." I stuttered, the word barely coming out of my mouth.

"Hey darlin'." he said sweetly. He gently sat on my bed. "How are you?"

"O-Okay. How are you here?" I asked.

He laughed. "I've never left you."

I carefully reached up, brushing my fingertips over his jaw. Felt real. Looked real. The sharpness of slight stubble was rough against my fingers.

I withdrew my hand back.

Definitely real.

"I can't believe this." I whispered to myself.

"Well, believe this." He said. Before I could say anything, he yelled, "BOYS!" and two other men came out of the darkness, and all I remember was being hit.

* Niall's p.o.v. *

"How is Liz?" I asked quietly. The question had been burning in my mind ever since Harry has gotten to my flat.

Her name made my heart break.

After the question was out into the open, my knee bounced nervously, waiting for a reply.

"I dunno, mate. I didn't go in last night." He shrugged.

I sat up. "What? You're lying right?"

"There was a van in her driveway, so I just left. I didn't want to intrude if it was her friend or something."

"How could you be so stupid!?!?!" I screamed.

"What?"

"Was it like a black or white van?" I asked.

He nodded.

"Those could be kidnapper vans!" I yelled.

"You're being paranoid. James is gone and over with. He never had a 'crew' so we are fine." Harry said. "Why would someone kidnap her?"

He had a remarkable point, so I let it go, but he brought it back up.

"If you would like, I'll go over there and check up on her." He said.

I nodded. "Please."

* Harry's p.o.v. *

I made the drive to Liz's house again. I was about 5 minutes away when my car came to her driveway.

I didn't see the black van and her lights weren't on.

I was kinda getting scared at this point, maybe Niall was right.

I went up to her door and knocked first but when I knocked, the door opened.

I got scared dashed up the stairs to her room, she wasn't there.

I ran to the car and went straight to Niall's.

* Niall's p.o.v *

Harry ran into the door with the panicked face.

Before I could ask why, my phone buzzed, It was an Amber Alert.

I always look at them, just to see what is happening around our neighbor hood, or anywhere really.

But when I opened my phone, the banner read, " Liz Payne. Age 19. Missing. "
