Rescued

Chapter 8

Zayn

We've been sitting in this airport for over an hour. There's no doubt in any of our minds that John has noticed three people are missing from his house. Which means they could show up here any moment, luckily our plane loads soon and the plane is sold out. The next available flight to where we're going won't be until next week.

The lot of us figured it was best if we got out of the U.S for a while. If we went back home until he figured it was safe to come home again, it's gonna be really hard though. I mean we have to deal with paps all the time and I don't know how we're gonna hide Alex and Jake. We'll figure it out though, we always do. "Why I'm gonna go use the restroom really quick before we get in the plane okay?" Alex says getting up from Louis' lap.

He gets up with her "maybe you should take someone with you, to stand outside the door and wait for you" Alex nods and Louis calls me over. "I'm gonna go get us some food, can you please go with her?" I nod and follow Alex over to the bathrooms. I wish it hadn't come to the point where she had to have an escort to the bathroom.

She must be so scared still, none of us know when it where John will just show up out of nowhere. We're all in the edge right now, hopefully getting on that plane will pull us away from the edge for a while. As soon as Alex disappears into the bathroom I look back over at where we were sitting, all the boys looked on edge as they all stood around watching the crowd cautiously.

I still can't believe this is what our lives have come to. A month and a half ago we were all sprawled out on the couch watching the Office and stuffing our faces with popcorn. That was our life. It was so good, Alex had a job, we didn't have to watch out back. We weren't hiding out in motel rooms trying to figure out how to break into an evil mans house who wanted to sell Alex for money and steal her brother.

The boys were still eyeing the crowd as I fixed my snap back and glasses, all of us were wearing them. That and super baggy clothes, hopefully it'd be harder to recognize us that way. Harry's idea, but it seemed to be working no one has come up.to us, no fans in, nothing. It's really nice. I was about to pull out my phone and check it when I looked up and saw Niall waving his arms like a maniac.

He started pointing towards the exit and I looked over to see what he was freaking out about and I could feel my heart stop. John, some rich looking guy, and a bunch of guards walked right through the front door. I turned and opened the door to the bathroom. I don't care if it's the girls room. "Alex it's time to g......" I pause as I see Alex frozen in front of the sinks. "Alex?" I walk over to her and look at what she's looking at.

In giant black letters on the back wall of the bathroom "You can't run from me darling" I quickly grab Alex's hand and drag her out of the bathroom. When we get out I drag her through the crowd back to the boys. Louis has gotten back and he looked freaked out, I watched John cautiously as he scanned the crowd for us.

The intercom snapped and crackles above us and I grimace "Flight 287 to Doncaster now boarding" I look at Louis and he grabs Alex and her bag and we rush to the boarding area. We can get out of here, we'll get out.

Alex

They found us, I actually thought for a second that we'd be able to get out of here. But now because of my foolishness my family is going to get hurt! Why was I ever so stupid to believe I could actually be free with my family? As Louis pulled me behind him to the boarding gate these thoughts clouded my brain and I kept tripping over my own feet.

We get to the gate and people start filing into the tunnel, we're almost there when I feel a strong hand grab my arm and pull me out of Louis' grasp. I gasp and Louis turns to run at us but John shakes his head and clicks his tongue. He pulls back the side of his jacket to reveal a gun in its holster strapped to his side. I take in a sharp breath at the sight of the gun, Louis starts to tear up and that makes me do the same.

"Should've thought that through huh Loui boy?" John taunts holding me close to him, his arm around the front of my neck. Louis takes a step towards us and the rest of the boys just stand there watching in horror. Jake looked like he was about to burst into tears. "Please let her go, you've caused her enough pain" Louis pleaded. it wouldn't do any good though. John was set in his money.

"Sorry Louis, but she's got to go home to her fiance, she's got a lot to do before her wedding next week" next week?! Oh no please! Louis had a horrified look on his face, I looked over at Jake and he seemed to be calmer. I don't know how he could be calm at a time like this. But it helps me to know he'll be okay. Harry walks over to us "John there has got.to be something we could give you to let us go." He pleaded.

John nods "oh there is, 6.7 million dollars, Brad and Jake in my car. Oh! and all of you in the ground!" He says evily. I struggle against his hold " you leave my brother out of this! You got get a hold of him again" I say angrily. I look at Louis "you need to go, get my brother out of here now!" I shout. I can see his heart breaking and more tears roll down his face "but I just got you back, I saved you, we were supposed to get away and be happy" I nod as the tears roll down my face as well "I know Lou, I love you so much but you've got to go. You've got to promise you'll keep Jake safe for me, that you'll all keep each other safe".

He just brakes more and more as I speak "Louis please" I plead as John grip tightens around my neck. He starts dragging me away and I notice a group of guys coming up behind the boys. "No! Leave them alone!" I scream "Harry!!" I scream. He turns around but just too late for him to do anything, normally the guy would be on the ground already but this guys was four times Harry's size. They planned that.

"No please, please let them go! Don't touch them please!" I scream as I sob. John continues to drag me out as the boys get their hands ziptied behind their backs, Harry keeps fighting the guy behind him so the guy punches him repeatedly in the gut. "Stop! Your hurting him!" I continue to sob as I watch it unfold in front of me. This is exactly what I was afraid of. I knew they would get hurt and I still let it happen.

John releases me for a split second but only to bind my hands behind me. Then he passed me to Sinclair who smiles at me "thought you could get away didn't you?" He says slipping his arms around my waist. I try pulling away from him but his grip only tightens. I look over at the boys again and continue to sob "get away from her!" Harry shouts angrily. Sinclair just smiles and starts pulling me towards. the exit.

The rest of the boys were being dragged behind us, most of them had just given up on fighting, but Harry and Liam were going nuts. They were kicking and throwing their heads everywhere. At one point the guard actually threw Harry over his shoulder and carried him out that way. As the boys passed me one by one I couldn't help but cry "I'm so sorry" I said to Louis as he walked past.

He smiles sadly "it's not your fault baby girl, I love you" I continue to cry as we all get dragged outside. I'm so sorry.
