Liam’s POV
Jesus…
Where could they be?
Well me and Zayn already checked the pub, no.
The B&B, no.
Nandos, no.
Niall’s house, no.
I need to call someone, anyone, who can help!
I grab my phone subconsciesly, scrooling down to a familiar contact, before m yheart ached and my breath caught in my throat.
I can’t call Danielle.
Of course I can’t.
We’re over.
Through.
Fini.
I throw my phone hard onto Louis’ mattress which I’m sitting on. Groaning and taking a harsh grip on my hair as I sat with my head in my hands.
Harry, Zayn, Grace, Henri, Paul and the rest of security plus the police are searching London, they’ve been gone hours which is to be expected seeing as London is huge, and I’m left here alone at Louis’ and Harry’s in case they come home.
Alone - I guess I am alone now.
I’m a singleton.
On the market.
A bachelor.
And although I’ve got some amazing friends, I feel so terribly alo-
*crash*
The fuck was that!?
A faint cursing came from downstairs,
“Oh shit! Oh shit, oh crap, oh shit!”
Who is that downstairs?
Oh god, I’m gonna have to investigate aren’t I?
Crap
Right…
Baseball bat –check.
Phone for emergency services – check.
Nervously I creep across Louis’ bedroom floor and open the door a crack.
“Shit Louis’ gonna kill me!” The same voice cursed from downstairs, yup, that’s defiantly not Niall or Louis.
I creep downstairs, pausing at the bottom before flying into the kitchen where I heard the voice coming from, screaming “DON’T SHOOT OR I WILL CALL THE POLICE!”
A ear-piercing scream came my way in response.
From a rather pretty girl if I admit.
For a few awkward moments we were just screaming at each other, before we noticed neither was about to attack.
When we stopped, I dropped the bat and gestured towards her, “Who the hell are you!?”
She raised her eyebrows at me, “Hmm, you’re a charmer I see?” Before I had time to even blush she replied with a “My name’s Mara, I’m Niall’s cousin who has come to visit. Has he not said anything?”
I gasped, a hand flying to my mouth.
It’s her!
She is the reason Henri and Niall fell out!
She is the reason Louis and Niall are missing!
“No.” I snap back at her.
She looked back at me, surprised at my tone.
“Oh.” She looked at the ground awkwardly before re-capturing my gaze, her eyes really are beauti- shut it Liam, “Well I came three days ago but spent the last two nights at a friend’s, now I’m back! Do you know where Niall is?”
I just glared at her, before realising I probably had to break the news to her.
“Um, Niall and Louis are missing…”
She furrowed her eyebrows, “What?”
I sighed, even though I have decided I hate her, I can’t stop my worry for two of my best friends which is burning deep inside, “They went missing two days ago, the police are searching but there is no lead…”
“O-oh god!” She stuttered, her delicate hands rising up to hide her face.
Moments later I saw her shoulder heaving, and I heard gentle sobs escaping her lips.
Against my opinion of her, my natural caring instinct kicked in and I stepped forward and wrapped my arms round her shoulders, pulling her into a protective hug. I stroked the back of her head soothingly and rocked up back and forth, hushing quietly in her ear until she stopped shaking.
I stood at arm’s length, still holding her shoulders with one hand, before using one finger to hook her chin up to look at me.
“Hey… It’s alright, ok? We’ll find them… We have to find them…” My voice cracked at the end, and I pulled Mara into another hug, more to comfort myself than her.
~-~
I shifted slightly on the sofa so I was facing Mara better. We had gone to sit in the living room half an hour ago, after tidying up the mess she made by smashing a vase.
“Mara, if you know something, anything, that can help us find them, you have to tell me. Ok?”
“I know Liam; you should know that I would never hold back information that could help you find my cousin. You have no idea how close we are.” Mara replied, rubbing her arms as if to try and keep warm, even though it wasn’t cold.
I nodded, then dialled Niall’s number.
No answer – again…
I tried Louis’ number.
Nope…
“Mara… I’m so scared…”
