Chapter 17:

-          Liam’s POV –

Wednesday Night/Thursday Morning:

I couldn’t sleep.

How could I? Knowing that Louis had been on the verge of destruction just hours ago...

I groaned and shot my eyes back open to stare into the darkness that enveloped my bedroom. I glanced at the clock and groaned again when I saw that it was 3.48AM.

...I wonder if Louis is sleeping with Zayn right now; getting the comfort that he deserves and all...

I winced.

Idiot, stop thinking about those two being together; it only leaves you jealous and heartbroken.

I sighed and sat up before burying my face in my hands.

...what am I even doing? I’m losing sleep over a guy that isn’t even mine...

I sighed again and eventually decided to get up and head downstairs to get a glass of water. I was on my way back upstairs when I heard a strange sound coming from the direction of my bedroom. I tensed and held my fists up in front of myself just in case there was someone else in the house. I crept to the door of my room and took a deep breath before busting it wide open; ready for anything. To my embarrassment though, my room was empty. I breathed a sigh of relief and ran a hand through my hair before hopping back into bed; chuckling as I went.

Idiot, what were you planning on doing anyway? Trapping them in a headlock?

I sighed again and closed my eyes; hoping that sleep would finally come. I hadn’t even been lying down for thirty seconds when I heard that same sound again, only this time it was clearer and louder than before. I shot up and switched on my bedside lamp; scanning the shadows of my room for the source of the sound. Once again though, I found nothing, but this time I started to get anxious. I slowly got up and made my way over to my bedroom door and very cautiously stuck my head out to scan the hallway. My heart was pounding out of my chest at this point; purely due to the fact that I was home alone.

The hallway was clear though, and I was in the middle of hesitantly closing my door when I heard the noise again. I practically jumped out of my skin and pinned my back up against the door; scanning my room once more. Now I was sure that the sound had been coming from my room. Once again though, I found nothing and I groaned in frustration. My eyes ended up settling on my window and I had an idea:

What if the sound is coming from the side alley outside..?

I tiptoed over to my window and peeked out through the curtains at the ground below, only to find no one there. I groaned and drew back my curtains before softly opening my window and sticking my head out to search the alleyway. There was nothing there. I was just about to pull my head back in when I heard the sound again, but this time I could tell where it was coming from straight away:

Louis’ bedroom.

I must have waited there with my head stuck out for a good five minutes before I heard the sound again. I tensed and started reaching for my phone in panic:

The sound had sounded like screaming.

I dialled Louis’ number and prayed that he would pick up. I waited for ages but eventually the phone rang out. I tried again but I still didn’t get an answer. I heard the sound again, and now I was positive that it had been a scream.
