12. "I was worried about you, you dick."

Zayn

 

I was pacing the floor, feeling my hands literally tied, falling numbly beside me.

I called and called, but she never picked up.

She fucking screamed and the line went dead and I didn’t hear from her since.

I was driving myself insane.

What if something had happened to her?

What if he did something?

God, what if he killed her?

He wouldn’t go that far, right?

Right.

She was fine.

They were probably talking it through.

Yes, this must have been it.

Everything was fine.

She was fine.

Then why did that dreadful feeling settle at the pit of my stomach?

Why did my chest feel like it was caving in on me?

Why couldn’t I fucking breathe?

“ Man, you’re losing it.” Louis commented. I put a threatening finger in the air, pleading for him to shut up, because in all honesty, I couldn’t handle it.

I couldn’t handle him.

“ Don’t.” I shook my head in rejection.

“ I’m sure nothing happened man-“

“ No, Louis, I can feel it. I don’t know how to explain it, but- I can feel it under my fucking skin, something is wrong. Something is- is so incredibly wrong with her.”

Harry and Louis exchanged puzzled gazes, before turning their attention to me.

“ Mate, I hate to be the sane voice in this, but you don’t even know the chick. Sure, I’ve been pushing you towards her, but that doesn’t mean that you should drive yourself nuts over her. She clearly has her shit to handle, but this isn’t your problem.”

“ Fucking hell, you don’t get it.”

“ Damn right, I don’t. What is it about this girl that is so special?” Louis yelled, taking dangerous, raged, steps towards me.

“ She screamed right into my fucking ear, and you want me to pretend that life is all rainbows and butterflies? What the fuck, Louis, even if I didn’t give a flying shit about this girl, I can’t just ignore the fact that she’s in danger and she needs help.”

“ There is nothing you can fucking do about it! Why do you always have to be some kind of hero, man? Do you not have anything better to do with your life?”

“ Fuck you, Louis!” I held him by the shirt, almost pushing him against the wall, if Harry hadn’t stepped in.

“ Hey, cut it out.” He interjected, pulling me away from Louis, whom I had never seen so angry before. His face had reddened with rage, his chest was heaving, sweat drops falling down his forehead.

“ He’s right, Lou.” Harry whispered, a palm on each of our chests’.

“ What, you too?” Louis’ voice went an octave higher, pushing Harry’s hand off him.

“ Calm the fuck down, and listen to me,” Harry pushed him onto my couch, hovering over him.

“ Lets just say this girl is a perfect stranger that we aren’t tied to in any way, and she’s in trouble, and seeking our help, do we turn our faces the other way?” Louis remained silent for a bit, before rubbing his face in frustration.

“ I was worried about you, you dick.” Louis whispered, almost wanting for his words to remain inaudible. The smallest of all smiles formed on my lips, but I wouldn’t allow it to reveal itself.

“ You love me.” I taunted, earning a groan from him, as I settled myself down next to him, pulling him into a tight side hug just for the fun of it. Harry threw himself next to me, joining our group hug.

“ Can’t believe you two teamed up against me, I feel betrayed.” Louis chuckled to himself, rising to put on his shoes.

“ I still love you, though.” Harry said, pecking his lips slightly, before mirroring his previous actions.

“ Where are you two going?”

“ We have a chick to save, remember?” Harry offered, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

“ What?”

“ Dude, do we need to repeat the events of the last couple of hours?”

“ We have nothing. No address, no working place, nothing.”

“ You said you went to see her grandma, right?” Louis asked, pulling on his thoughtful face.

“ Yeah.”

“ Fine, then go ask her.”

“ They said that she’d leave the hospital in a few days, and it’s been weeks since.”

“ Right, okay,” He closed his eyes shut for a minute or two, concentrating on something that went only through his own head.

“ We have two leads,” He then said.

“ Leads? And what might those be, officer?” Harry teased.

“ We can either go to the hospital, and try to find information about where her grandma is currently staying, and then we’d be able to ask her where Scarlett lives,” He paused to catch his breath, “ Or, we go to that restaurant and try to find information about that prick, which will lead us to an address or job or whatever.” Louis finished, crossing his arms against his chest in pride.

“ Wow, look at you actually putting your brains to use.” Harry joked, but kissed his cheeks all the same, before leading the way out of the house. Louis looked flustered, his skin turning this shade of pink.

“ Jesus Christ, keep it in your pants till we get this shit done.”

And the idiot bit his lips, attempting to not jump him, right then and there.

“ Okay, I can take the restaurant, Louis, take the hospital, and Zayn-“

“ I can go to the bar where we first met? Maybe she paid with a credit card or something?”

“ Good idea, but finding your way around the bartender will be tough.”

“ I have my ways.” With that, I walked away, throwing my keys in the air and catching them just for dramatic effect.

“ Smooth, but don’t do anything I wouldn’t do!” Louis said, getting into his own car with Harry, before driving away.

“ There’s nothing that you wouldn’t do, Louis!” I yelled through the opened windows.

“ Fair point.”
