One Little Direction

Chapter Thirty- One: Deep Breaths

{Harry's POV}

Niall opens the door and there's two police officers standing there, hats in their hands like they do when someone's died... no. 

"Hello?" Niall asks them confused. I watch his hand shaking beside him as if he's thinking the same thing as me. Zerrie's dead. They've come to tell us that they've been killed somehow and that Ellie's next guardians need to step forward. Who are Ellie's next guardians? Louis and Leigh? Jade and I? Jonnie and Gemma?

"Hi, you're Niall Horan, not Roy Traner." One of the officers looks annoyed at himself. 

"Yeah I'm Niall. Roy Traner lives down the road. Number three." Niall replies and I let out the gigantic breath I was holding in from fear. 

Niall says goodbye to the police officers and walks back over, taking deep breaths to calm himself. I look around the room and everyone looks relieved but still worried about where in the name of flying dogs Zerrie are?

"I thought the police had come to tell us they'd died." Jesy says obviously talking about Zayn and Perrie. We all did Jesy. 

Imagine if they are dead though. That will be the end of us. I would be fucked for so long over that. It's Zayn and Perrie! They're the reason we're all here and they're the reason I smile everyday- along with Jade. 

"They might still be..." Liam says in a barely audiable tone, not wanting to put a bad thought out but he's just saying what we're thinking.

"Whose dead?" We hear a male voice and all jump out of our skin, the girls squealing and us guys having heart attacks. Louis ends up on the floor somehow. 

I look up to the sliding door where that came from and let out another deep breath when I notice Zayn standing there with Perrie next to him, Ellie in her arms. 

"You're not dead." I announce and Zayn and Perrie give us looks as if it's obvious they're not dead. Louis rushes up and squeezes them tightly before letting them come and sit down.

"You thought we were dead?" Perrie asks with a slight laugh in the question. I watch her put Ellie down and Ellie runs off to find the other kids. 

"Yeah! When we don't talk to you for a whole day and you're late. Then policemen turn up at the front door. We're bound to get a little suspicious hey!" Liam replies and Zayn and Perrie laugh a little.

"Just don't do it again." Jesy warns and Zayn nods his head as Perrie salutes Jesy. Only Perrie...

We all sit around chatting and then I remember the whole who would get Ellie thing and decide to ask.

"Hey Zerrie," I say to them and they look at me. "If you were to die, touch wood you don't," I say slapping the lamp table. "Who does Ellie go to?" I ask. They pause to think and I look at Dani, Liam, Ella and Niall. "And your girls too?" I ask them. 

All the parents stop and think for a moment and then Niall pipes up.

"Asha goes to Greg and Denise. We got papers signed for that last year." Niall replies and I nod my head, knowing that; they do have papers to sign for these things.

"Do you not remember signing to be Zuri's?" Dani asks me and then it hits me. Yep! I do rmember signing that paper! That's cool! They trust me with their kid.

"Zerrie?" Niall asks them.

"Well, we're probably going to have to get things all offical but Ellie would go to Louis and Eleanor." Zayn smiles at them and Louis cheers with delight and high fives Eleanor happily. "But we don't plan on dying." Zayn reminds Louis and we all laugh. 

Louis and Eleanor have been acting strange this afternoon at the mention of kids... but then again it is Elounor. 

It's just good to know Zerrie are in face alive.
