A/n just so you know I'm on my phone again so please ignore typos

"Why are you looking at me like that?" The only answer I got in return was a sad smile.
"Is something wrong?" I set my colorful paper plate to the side so I could face Niall. He began picking apart what was left of his sandwhich.

"Niall you can tell me anything." He looked back at me with his bright smile again, "Its okay Izzy I'm just tired s'all nothing to worry about."

He stood up and took our plates away. When he returned he had something hidden behind his back.

"Okay I want you to close your eyes." He said sitting down in his spot once more.

"Why what are you going to do to me?" I fired back.

"Just close your damn eyes Izzy." I didn't think a fight was necessary, we both knew he wouldn't kill me. If he was going to he probably would have done it sooner.

"Open your mouth, I want you to tell me what you think." And that's how our night finished off. Niall fed me various tastes of dessert until I could hardly keep my eyes open. One he got bored of fattening me up, he decided I need exercise and took me on a walk.

"That was a lovely night, thank you." I stopped at the house door.

"Thank you for coming with me, we'll do this again soon yeah?" He hugged me and waited until I had fully shut the door to drive off.

"Who was that?" Liam walked in wearing his usual break-in gear, black everything.

"Horan, where are we going?" He was situating a few larger guns on his back while walking me to the room we use as our conference room towards the back of the house.

"Louis wants us to set up surveillance cameras around the outer edges of the Eastside's main building to see what they're up to. Get dressed be here in 5."

I cleared the short distance from the front entrance go my room on record time to get my gear on.

Once I was fully dressed I ran to our weaponry to gather what I would need. Harry was in there passing off weapons to the rest of the team.

"Why do we need such heavy artillery?" I asked tucking a hand gun in the back of my pants.

"The East are getting more aggressive, they've begun to lash out at the South, this is just precautionary measures we're taking." Louis answered walking in the room.

We all finished strapping what we need to our bodies and gathered the bags the tech crew would use to set up the cameras. The gang was split in two, the ones who would set everything up and those to cover them.

We pulled up a few blocks over so they wouldn't see our van. Everyone gathered what they needed and took off. Zayn and I took off in to the woods.

The run was a bit more difficult with a backpack full of expensive equipment latched on to me, but Zayn and I made it in no time.

We found our way to the first place assigned to us and I wired the camera up.

"Hurry up Izz I think I hear someone." Zayn whispered looking around holding his gun ready.

"Alright I'm done let's move." We took off to our next location.

I was in the middle of connecting two wires when we heard the first gunshot.
"Fuck Izzy get down." I dropped to my stomach.

"Do you see anything Z?"

"No I don't but be quiet." I waited for what seemed like hours, when it was probably minuets before I heard any noise besides my erratic breathing.

"Okay let's move." Zayn began walking back the way we came with his handgun pointed in front of him.

I quickly finished my work with the camera and hauled ass to Zayn's side. We walked not to far until we returned back to the van. Harry and Liam were waiting there with what looked like panicked faces.

"What's wrong?" Zayn and I said in unison.
"Louis been shot pretty bad." Harry looked apologetically at me when he said it, knowing how much Louis meant to me.

"Fuck how could you guys let him get hurt?" I started pacing, I couldn't think straight I was so angry.

"Look we were ambushed by the East and some wolves, that was weird, but Louis guard dropped him last minute to run to the aid of someone else and Louis got shot." Liam explained watching me for how I'd react.

"Where is he?" I was beginning to worry a little too much than I should be but they still haven't shown him to me.

"One of the lower guards who doubles as a medic is tending to him in the back of the van." Liam gestured to the black vehicle to my left.

"Yeah he wouldn't let us in. Said we were too loud." Harry pipped in.

I didn't even think about my next move I just reacted. "Liam you drive I'm helping the medic and Zayn, Harry you guys keep watch for any Eastside following us. Let's move and get Lou home." It was like I lit a fire under their asses with how fast they moved to my directions.

I couldn't tell you anything that happened in the car. All I saw was a while lot of blood and thread. The medic had me help a bit but I was limited in my experience so there was only so much I could do.

We returned to the house with enough time to get Louis inside and on the table. The medic, who's name I learned was Des, operated on him.

Louis had taken a shot to the thigh that missed the bone, and another grazed his midsection just enough to make him bleed but not enough to kill him.

Everyone was waiting in the living room for the results but nothing had come. The boys sent me to bed saying it would be better for me to get out of the house and on to school in the morning. Reluctantly I obeyed.
