Changes (N.H & L.P)

Chapter 23 - Blood, Guns, and a Chase

Bri’s P.O.V

I was so relieved when I discovered that Liam didn’t cheat on me. I know at the time I probably didn’t sound relieved, but trust me - I was. Liam and I were back to our usual selves, because honestly, nothing happened. I mentally face-palm myself for even thinking that Liam would cheat on me. He would never. I love him, and he loves me. And right now we were driving to Niall’s place to make sure he was okay.

After talking with Jess before she had to go with Harry, I found out that she didn’t really care about what happened; as long as it doesn’t jeopardise the band. She has her moments when she can be really rude and stubborn, but deep, and I mean deep, inside she does have a soft-spot where she cares about her friends and family. It doesn’t come out often, but you know when it does.

When we arrive at Niall’s place we immediately feel a negative vibe. Niall’s car was parked in his driveway, in the exact same place that he’s left it for days.

When we walk in, we couldn’t believe it. We had to cover our noses at the unpleasant stench. We found Niall at the dinner table, surrounded by various boxes of take-out food and many, many bottles of beer.

Liam immediately began cleaning up the mess, making sure everything was tidy. Niall just sat there, watching him. I sat next to him and patted his back. He looked rough.

“I haven’t talked to her for days,” Niall muttered, “And she’s pregnant with his baby. Already.” Niall sobs.

When Sebastian informed Liam of the pregnancy I was surprised, and I hoped to myself that it was fake. Niall obviously believed him; and because he hasn’t been able to talk to Jess, he’s left to mellow in his misery.

I feel so sorry for him. It must be hard having your girlfriend taken away, and then finding out she’s pregnant with a baby that isn’t yours. He is a drunken, miserable mess without a care in the world. Liam has cleaned up everything and sits on the other side of Niall, comforting him.

He whispers something into Niall’s ear, but it ends up making him cry even harder than he already was. Niall hugs Liam, crying into his shoulder, letting it all out. This will be good for him, to just let out all of his emotions and then he should just get over the pregnancy. Jess will need Niall’s support, because I know for certain that she still loves him. Once all of this is over hopefully it’ll turn back to normal.     

 

Jess’ P.O.V

I slowly shuffle on the cold floor underneath me, trying to find some sort of comfortable position. I try stretching my arms out, but I find them really tightly tied around a pole, behind my back. Immediately I feel a stinging sensation on my wrists against the hardened rope, which has absorbed my blood. They must of tied me up that tight that it cut my skin and I’ve bled.

How long have I been out for? I slowly lift my eyelids and I immediately make eye contact with Harry, who is sitting opposite me, tied up to a pole as well. The poles held up shelves, with various sized cans of food. I lean my body fully against the pole and let out a yawn, still drowsy from the heavy sleep.

“Are you finally awake?” I hear a cold voice from the front of the moving vehicle.

I groan in response, feeling an ache rush through my body.

Sebastian laughs, looking between Harry and I. Someone else was driving the vehicle, but we have no idea who it is.

“What the fuck?” I mutter, finally being able to distinguish what is happening around me.

“I have a few plans for you two,” Sebastian smirks at me, “How are the two lovebirds going?”

Harry looks to me with furrowed eyebrows, not saying anything.
