Trapped In A Mall With One Direction

Chapter Seventeen

Liam's POV:

I hung up the phone and stared at it, amazed. How did Louis manage to get himself and a pretty girl stuck in the middle of a pitch black mall? Like, for real though. How does he do it?

"Liam, what's going on?" Miranda asked, setting a hand on my shoulder, making me flinch.

"Louis and-"

Interruprting my little speech, Niall and Scarlet came tumbling in, laughing their heads off, burgers in their hands. "Wendy's is waaay better than Mcdonalds!" Scarlet cried.

"No way!"

"Yes way!"

And then, Zayn and Shayna came in, arms wrapped around each other's waist, making my eyebrows come together. "Are you two-" Scarlet started, but was interrupted by....

"I WON! I KISSED YOU MORE!" Harry.

"NUH UH!!!!"

"UH HUHHH!"

"Kissssedd?!" Scarlet screamed, dropping her burger, which made Niall scream.

"KISSED!" Miranda yelled, which made me drop the phone, making Harry scream. Oh mi god.

"EVERYONE SHUT UP!" I screamed, sighing and reaching down to pick up the phone. "Yes, Harry and Dezi kissed. We alllll knew that there was something going on there, so can we please just forget about it? We have bigger issues."

"Like what?" Dezi asked, putting her hands on her hips.

"Like the fact that Louis and Mackenzie are stuck somewhere in the middle of the mall." I said calmly.

"Oh."

"Oh."

"Oh."

"Yeah. Oh. Now, here's what's we need to do.." I handed everyone a flaslight, "We are going to split up and search from them." I tossed everyone extra batteries. "When you find them, call me, and bring them back here, okay?"

A chorus of okays responded. "Groups are me and miranda, Harry and Dezi, Shayna and Zayn, Niall and Scarlet." The looks I got were   hilarious. "Oh, you guys know that that's what you want."

"True," Shayna said, smiling.

"Now. Let's search!"

Louis POV

I felt bad for Kenzie.

She was curled up in a little ball on the floor, shaking. Apparently, she was afraid of the dark. Which would have been helpful to know before I got her stuck in this hallway.

"Kenzie..." I said, leaning down and hesitantly putting an arm around her. "I'm sorry."

She looked up at me slightly, and her blue eyes glowed in the blackness. "I-I-It's okay, Lou."

"No it's not. Who knows how long we'll be in here! We could freeze to death, or starve to death, or something could come out and eat us or-"

"Louis." Kenzie said evenly, "Not helpling."

I bit back a smirk. "Yeah, I know. Sorry."

"It's fine."

An awkward silence floated between the two of us. "Soooo...." I said to Kenzie slowly. "Got a boyfriend back home?"

Kenzie shook her head. "I did, but he ended it."

"Why?"

"I don't know. Who cares? He was an ass."

"Mustve been, if he ended it with you."

Kenzie looked up at me again, and I could see her blush even through the dark. "You mean that?"

"Duhhhh."

 Kenzie shifted, and I could felt her hair brush against my shoulder. I reached my hand out and felt her warm flesh under my hand, closing my eyes and enjoying the feeling. "Feel better?" I asked softly.

"Uhhm...y-yeah," she stuttered, making it clear that she was lying to me.

"Do you want me to sing? That used to calm down Baby Lux when she was upset."

"Okay," she said softly, her voice on the edge of breaking.

I began to sing. It was an old song, one by The Script, called Science and Faith. I started to sing, and when I got to the chorus I could begin to feel her slowly relaxing at the sound of my voice.

"You won't find faith or hope down a telescope
You won't find heart and soul in the stars
You can break everything, down to chemicals
But you can't explain a love like ours.

Woohhhh
It's the way we feel, yeah this is real.
Woohhhh
It's the way we feel, yeah this is real."

I finished the song, and I said, quietly, "Kenzie? Better?"

She didn't respond, and I began to panick slightly when I heard her softly snoring and chuckled. I pulled her closer to me and kept singing, hoping that she would stay asleep until Liam and the others got here so that she wouldn't be scared.

I leaned down and kissed her forehead, then whispered, "I hope that you dream of me."
