Road to Woodbury attached.^
Harry's POV:
Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit! How could I be so stupid? I should've just shot that bastard again when I had the chance, but I had to go and give him a warning and a second chance. That's not even like me! Why did I even give him a second chance? Why didn't I just shoot him in the head instead of the stomach in the first place.Now, I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere in the scorching heat. I have to walk back to Woodbury to get Louis and Liam. God damn it. I fucking hate that kid. Next time I see him I'm going to shoot him without so much as a second thought.
I hope he bleeds out and then Addie will have no one to help her and when I find her she won't stand a chance to escape again. After grabbing my water bottle, I shoved my car door open and slammed it shut after me. I started sprinting down the road.
Whenever I got mad at my sister or parents, I would always go out and run. It calms me down. After doing this for a few years, I've gotten to be able to run fast for long amounts of time. I can do a full on sprint for at least twenty minutes and that's exactly what I did.
Due to my adrenaline from being so angry, more angry then I've been in a very long time, I have the energy to run for what must've been at least an extra ten minutes. After sprinting for about thirty minutes, covering like three miles, I slowed to a jog. I covered another two miles before I started walking. I finally reached the grassy road that led to Woodbury.
As I walked I spotted two people walking in the distance. Louis and Liam. Thank god they are smart enough to start walking back, now I don't have to walk as far.
"Louis! Liam! Boys!" I shout at them, waving my arms in the air like an idiot. I didn't care though, I was exhausted.
"Harry?" Louis yelled back.
"No shit, dumbass! Run! C'mon!" I ordered. I was not in the mood for this right now. They looked at each other before they began to run towards me.
"Hey." Louis breathed as he reached me. He was panting as though he just ran five miles.
"Hey, you're out of shape, eh?" I asked, smirking.
"Oh, shut up. I just ran like 500 metres." He groaned.
"So did I, Louis. I'm not panting like that," Liam laughed.
"Okay, so I might be a little bit out of shape." Louis admitted.
"I just ran like three miles and jogged another two and then walked about five," I said, a whiny tone in my voice. "How do you think I feel?"
"Why didn't you just drive? Where's your car? What happened?" Liam asked.
"That son of a bitch shot my car while I was trying to catch him." I fumed.
"Where is it?" He asked again.
"About ten miles down the road," I angrily stated.
"Aw, fuck." Louis said.
"Why didn't you call Niall?" Liam asked.
"She has my phone in the other truck." I told him.
"Okay. I'll call him," Liam sighed. I waited a few seconds while he dialled Niall's phone.
"Hello? Niall. Harry's car broke down and the girl got away with some guy. We need you to come pick us up, we're on the road that leads to Woodbury." I listened as Liam explained our very fucked situation to Niall. I felt my annoyance grow as I heard him refer to Addie as 'that girl.'
"Her name is Addie." I said.
"Oh um.. Sorry mate." He said, before returning to listening to Niall on the phone.
"Okay, thanks." He replied after a short pause he took to listen to Niall.
"What did he say?" I asked, now even more impatient.
"He'll be here in about twenty minutes." He grumbled.
"Ugh," I sighed. We turned and continued walking to the end of the grass road.
When we reached the end, we turned towards the direction of our house and kept waking. Finally we spotted Niall's car approaching. By the time he got to us, we were all in a grumpy state from waking for so long and it had now become cold. The sun had set and I was just completely done with this.
We climbed into the car and sat in the back, not even acknowledging Niall or Zayn. As soon as it stared moving, my thoughts drifted to Addie. I wonder if she found some police and they are hunting us down right now? Probably not. We all go out of our way to cover up our tracks. We've been criminals for years and nobody knows.
We kill everyone who sees us committing any crime. It obviously works, since we're one of the biggest gangs in the world and we haven't been caught. I wonder if that ginger kid is dead yet? If he didn't have any first aid in his car he most likely is.
What was his name again? I think I heard Addie yell 'Ed' at him. During my thoughts, my eyelids started to get heavy. I gave into temptation and let sleep consume me.
I awoke with a jolt from a dreamless sleep. We were at the house. Wait, why did we go back to the house? Addie had to be at least in Wales by now. I'm sure that's where they went since it's the closest to where we were. I got up and jumped into the drivers seat just as Niall had got out.
Everyone was already out of the car and I started it up once again. I motioned with my head for the boys to get into the car. They all looked at me with confusion and I stared at them with a serious expression.
"Get in!" I demanded after the didn't move. They then all piled into the car and I slammed the gas pedal. After a minute or two, I decided it's better for gas if I slow down. We drove for about 20 minutes before I spoke up.
"So that's two cars we've lost today." I spoke up with a chuckle.
"All because of Addie." Laughed Zayn.
"Yeah," Liam added. "She is the most difficult person I've ever met."
"Well we have to find her, and soon, or our life could be a lot more difficult. If we et caught, we could lose all I our money. We'd go to jail for who knows how long Louis spoke up. After a few more moments of silence, I decided that the boys must be tired. I'd already slept, though.
"You guys can get some rest, you must be tired. I've already got some in so I'm good for a while."
"Okay, I'm not even going to try to object. You don't know how happy I am to hear you say that." Liam said, with a small laugh after.
"Agreed," added Louis. "Goodnight.
"Night." Said Niall, yawning.
"For fucks sake, just to sleep already." I laughed.
"Fine, fine." Said Louis.
"I'm going to stay up with you, I'm not tired anyway." Said Zayn. I gave him a nod and looked back to the road.
"Zayn." I spoke quietly after the boys fell asleep.
"Harry." He mocked me with a smile.
"What do you think Will happen if we get caught?" I asked. He took a moment to think, looking out the front window. Then he turned back to me.
"We'd probably go to an institution for the criminally insane," he said in a mocking professional tone. "But seriously, I think we'd be in a lot of trouble."
"Do you think we actually will find her in time?" I asked.
"I don't know. I just really, really hope we do." He sighed.
