Shattered

Chapter Twenty Nine

Hadley's POV

Everyone was asking questions, but Ashton stayed quiet. He wouldn't speak. Every time a car would pass by, he would tense up and put more speed into the car. Sweat was beaded up on his forehead and his knuckles were white. I was really worried about him. Every now and then I would look over to see if he was okay.

"Asshhhtttooooonnnnn I'm huuunnngggrrryyyyy." Whined Luke.

"oh my God Luke shut up! We're all hungry but Ashton isn't going to stop so why bother talking." Michael boomed. I flinched. His voice was loud and right beside my ear. I've never seen Michael in such an angry state. Turning my head to look at Michael, his chest was rising and falling heavily.

"Ashton pull the car over." He commanded.

"Why should I?" Ashton's voice was raising, which led to the car speeding up.

"ASHTON I SAID PULL THE DAMN CAR OVER NOW!" The car swerved to the right and Ashton slammed on the brakes.

"Now step out of the car."

"Why."

"JUST LISTEN TO ME!" Angrily getting out of the car, both Ashton and Michael were standing on the highway. They were arguing over something, which led Michael to drive and Ashton to take Michael's place next to me.

Okay, what's going on?

The car slowly pulled back onto the highway and continued to drive. Everyone was quiet and dared not to say a word.

Harry's POV

I was getting tired and it was getting late, but I knew I needed to find Hadley. I couldn't let Luke or any of the other boys have her.

She was mine.

I pressed my foot harder onto the gas pedal, making the car zip down the darkened road. The crappy headlights shone dimly, barely producing enough light for me to see a squirrel cross the road. Since I have started driving I haven't seen any cars.

Was I going the right way?

Negative thoughts filled my brain as I kept driving, but the words were overpowering my mind.

'You'll never find her'

'She's too good for you'

'Why bother trying'

'Just give up like you have on everything else'

Voices echoed in my head, some louder then others, and I shook my head trying to make them stop, but my hand jerked to the side, sending the car flying into the ditch.

Shit.

Michaels POV

As I kept driving, I heard a loud crash come from behind me. Glancing in the rear view mirror, I saw nothing so I let the though pass. Everyone was sleeping, and I honestly had no clue where we were going. Where did Ashton want us to go? Biting the inside of my cheek gently, I wanted to just stop and turn around to go back home, but I knew Ashton would get mad.

Tapping my fingers against the steering wheel, I mumbled to myself,

"What to do.... What to do..."

Coming to a deserted gas station, I decided to pull in and take a break. Putting the car into 'park', I stepped out of the car and into the rickety gas station, to find the cashier, an old man sleeping behind the desk. Slowly walking down the isles, I picked up some chips and soda for the drive. I was hungry, and I knew Luke was, too.

A woman's voice talking caught my attention and I looked up at the corner of the wall to see a TV, with a news report.

"In other news, a Toyota was found early this morning on the side of the road. Fortunately, nobody was killed, but the man in the car was named. A Harry Styles was injured and taken to a nearby hospital in the early morning. The right side of the highway is closed due to investigation, and updates will come. Back to you, John." I froze and replayed the words the woman had said in my head. Harry knew where we were going, and chances are was that he was following us. Running out of the gas station- with the chips in hand- I ducked into the car and sped off.

Where could that sucker be now?
