My 1D Brothers

Running

Erika POV:

My phone rang. I looked at it and saw that it was a message from Liam. I ignored it and kept walking, looking for a place that the boys wouldn't go to, looking for me. I looked inside my bag and found my money, my headphones, my gum, and my debit card. I could live off this for a bit.

I went to starbucks and bought a cappucino and walked out the door. My phone ran again, and I looked. It was a call from Louis. I felt really terrible doing this, but I tapped 'Ignore' and kept walking. I walked for what seemed like ages, until I decided to do something that cleared my mind. Dancing.

I found a gym and stepped in. I walked to what seemed to be the dance room and took off my shoes and jacket. I was alone, so I plugged my iPhone into the speaker and put on some of my dance music. I ran through the whole dance, and relaxed. I drank some of my cappucino. That's when I noticed a familiar face looking through the door. Zayn. And he had Latte. He saw me notice and walked in.

"Impressive. You dance nicely when you're angry." he said.

"If Liam or Louis or Niall sent you, I don't want to talk to you." I said. "Oh no. Latte sent me." He said.

I smiled and took Latte. "Come here and give me a kiss, cutie." I said and froze.

Zayn nodded. "Niall thinks you and Liam were talking to eachother but you were actually talking to Latte."

I looked at Latte and hugged her. "Did you feed her?" I asked and Zayn nodded. "I got some food from the shelter, telling them it was an emergency and they gave her food and water. I thought you'd be dancing and I found this place." 

I smiled. "You'd be a good detective." I said and Zayn got up. "Want to go now?" he asked and I shook my head no.

"I'm not going back to where everyone is. Just tell them you found me and I need time alone, please?" I asked him and he nodded. He sent a few texts and said, "You going to keep dancing?" 

I smiled and turned on the music. I danced one of my favorite dances along to some of my hiphop music and when the song ended, I put on my jacket and my boots and took Latte. Zayn handed me her leash and I clipped it onto her collar. 

"See you, Zayn." I said and walked out of the gym.

Niall had a complete misunderstanding. He only heard things, he didn't see any of the stuff he thought happened, happen.

He was just being a stupid Irishman. I took Latte and went back to the suite. I hesitated at the door to our suite, but passed it and went onto the rooftop.

I opened my skype app on my phone and saw that Brendan was on.

I skype-called him and he answered. Next thing you know, his face is on the phone screen and I get butterflies in my stomach. Now this was real love.

"Is everything okay?" Brendan asked me, seeing my upset expression.

 "A lot of stress." I said and Brendan smiled. "If there's something wrong, tell me, okay?" he asked and I nodded.

He twirled around in his wheely chair and asked me what I was doing on the rooftop. "Getting away from a stupid Irishman." I said and Brendan looked confused.

"Niall and I got in a fight because he thinks I have a thing with Liam." I explained quickly and Brendan sighed.

"That's what you get for being so...you." he said and I looked at him confused.

"Don't you know? Niall is jealous of you and Liam being close. Guys get jeaous too, you kow." he said and I looked at him on my screen.

"I sometimes wish I could just go home and see you and the others again." I said and a tear fell down my cheek.

"Aw, don't cry." Brendan said.

"Bren?" I asked. "What?" he asked me. "You don't think it was a bad idea, touring with the boys, right?" 

I looked at him, waiting for his answer. "I think it's great. Just that I don't get to see you in gym class, hiding from the ball." I laughed. "If only I could go back to those days." I said and looked up at the sky. It was getting dark.

"Bren, I think I should go. We'll talk again sometime. Bye." I said and waved as I wiped my cheeks.

"Bye Erika. I'll probably call you soon." he said and we ended our chat.

I locked my phone and sat there, thinking, what it would be like to have Brendan as my boyfriend. It would probably be hard since I'm touring, but I had a dream about him asking me out, and it was wonderful. If only. If only.

I got up and walked inside. I walked by the suite and stopped again. I could hear the boys talking, but just kept walking and went out the door of the hotel. I walked to the restaraunt that Niall had once taken me to and sat down.

I ordered something light and ate. I checked my phone and decided to look at the message Liam had sent me earlier.

It said, 'Please don't be upset about Niall. Where are you? You're getting me worried.'

I finished and I paid for the food. I gave a little to Latte, spoiling her with delicious food. I gave her some water too. I went to the bathroom before I decided to leave. As I walked out of the bathroom door, I saw the five boys come in. "Shit." I slipped back into the bathroom and spent another 5 minutes in there. I cracked open the door and saw the boys at a table all the way across the restaraunt and quickly walked out the door.

I went into the shopping centre and went into some stores. I found a really nice shirt and bought it. I walked around and window shopped.

I was planning to pull an all-nighter, making an oath not to go back to the suite just yet. Get Niall worried about it. I smirked.

Zayn POV:

I went back to the suite and told Liam about the whole thing about Erika and how Niall thought they were talking to each other when they were talking to Latte.

Liam went into Niall's room and shut the door. I heard them talking and went to where Harry and Louis were, with worried looks on their faces. I explained to them what happened and they started pacing.

It was dark now and Erika wasn't back yet. And neither was Latte. The five of us went out to eat, and searched for Erika afterwards, but couldn't find her. Niall called her, but she didn't pick up. He was getting worried.

"Oh, this is ALL my fault." Niall said, really worried. I patted his back. "It's going to be okay. She just probably needs to think about everything going on." I said.

Niall POV:

Liam came into my room and sat down next to me. He explained that Zayn figured out that the conversation I heard through the door was the conversation they were having with Latte, their dog.

I felt stupid. I felt stupid for what I said and because of that, it was getting dark and Erika was nowhere to be found again.

The five of us went out to eat at a small restaraunt that I once took Erika to and ate. I was really worried.

We searched for Erika afterwards but she wasn't anywhere.

I called her to try to apologize, but she didn't pick up. I understood because I expected her to be mad.

Erika POV:

Latte fell asleep in my arms when I was holding her, walking through a park. I sat on a bench and started drifting off. I shook my head and opened my eyes.

"I don't know if I did the right thing. I mean, Niall is just a stupid Irishman." I said to Latte and that's when I heard a chuckle. Male. Chuckle. Pedophile. I got up from the bench and started running. But strong arms grabbed me and tied me up. I screamed but there was no one around.

I was put into the back of a truck. Latte whimpered inside my bag. I had put her in there when I was being attacked. I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and tapped on the contact Niall. I sent him a quick text- 'Help'
