Erika POV:

"Erika?" I heard a voice. I opened my eyes and there were the boys. Harry had a tray of food in his hands and smiled.

I tried to get up, but couldn't because of all the pain. Niall helped me sit up in bed. Harry place the tray on my legs and I drank the orange juice and started eating. The boys sat on the bed, watching me eat.

"What? Want some?" and I offered some food to the boys. They shook their heads no and Zayn asked me if I knew who the man was.

"He looked familiar, but I can't think of a name. Did you call the po-po?" I asked and Liam smiled. "Yea. They're doing some investigations. Guess you won't be dancing for a while, huh?"

That's when the face of the man popped into my head.

"Tim." I said and stopped eating. "Tim is the man that hurt me yesterday." I said and the boys looked at me shocked. "The choreographer?" Louis asked and I nodded.

"It all makes sense. I know for sure it's him!" I said and tried to get up. "Ow!" I said and sat back down.

"I need to pee." I said and Niall picked me up and brought me into the bathroom and closed the door.

I went, washed my hands and opened the door and stood there. "Niall?" I said and Niall got up and carried me princess-style back to my bed.

I finished eating and grabbed my phone. I guess the press found out about the whole 'kidnapping' thing and I had a lot of messages. I responded to all of them and called my family, telling them I was okay and that the boys were helping me.

Then, I called Brendan. He answered the phone and said, "Oh my god. Are you okay?!" and I laughed. "Yes. The boys are taking care of me." hearing his voice made everything better.

Harry POV:

We made breakfast for Erika and brought it up to her. We woke her up, Niall helped her sit up in bed and she ate. Niall carried her to and from the bathroom happily and Erika called a bunch of people on her phone.

The last person she called was Brendan. It was the first time I saw her smile that wide since the incident.

I knew she was really happy when she talked to him. I could see it in her eyes. While she was talking to him, her finger traced the design on the covers and she smiled while talking. Now this was real love.

She hung up and looked at us. "So what are we doing today boys?" she asked and tried to get up again. She wanted to get up and do things. Niall helped her get out of bed and supported her body. She put on her new slippers and Latte stayed close to her feet.

She smiled down at Latte and Latte wagged her tail. Liam lifted Latte up and hugged her. We walked with Erika and Niall to the living room and we all sat down on the couch. Latte jumped out of Liam's arms and into Erika's.

"She really likes you." Zayn said and Erika smiled. I love that smile. "I think we should all stay home today, I'll go call the police and tell them you remembered who the criminal is." Liam said to Erika and got up and grabbed his phone and made the call.

Erika POV:

Niall helped me get to the living room and by noon, I was feeling much better. I changed into sweatpants, a baggy sweatshirt, and kept my slippers on. I put my hair up in a messy bun and walked to the kitchen.

"How are you feeling Princess?" Louis asked me and I answered, "Great, Carrothead, but no one can touch me or my bruises will hurt." Louis nodded and I sat down with my water.

I turned on the TV to the news and saw a picture of Tim being arrested and taken to prison. I felt weird, seeing my face on the screen. I looked different.

How did they get a picture of me with bruises and cuts on my face? Well, papparazzi is everywhere nowadays.

I turned the TV off and got up. I put my glass on the table and grabbed my phone. I went on twitter and saw a bunch of tweets. '@1D_love3099 are you okay/ i'm sorry i ever said anything mean to you'

'@1D_love3099 I hope you're okay' and a bunch of other tweets. I looked through them, then locked my phone again.

We ordered some pasta from a nearby restaraunt and ate. I took a shower, brushed my teeth, and went to bed. Before I went to bed, I told Liam he could sleep in the bed tonight.

"Thanks, love." Liam said and I kissed all the boys goodnight. I whispered, "Thank you." into Niall's ear and hugged him tight.

I went to bed but couldn't fall asleep. I went on my laptop for a while, then shut it off, and Liam came in.

"Hey Liam." I said and he jumped a little, surprised that I was still up. He took a shower and crawled under the covers and we lay there.

"The bruises are starting to go away already." I said and Liam looked at my face and traced the cuts on my face with his thumb.

He looked sad and I almost started crying. Liam held me and I said, "Why though? Why?" my voice was trembling.

"It's okay. He probably didn't like how you came up with great ideas for the choreography." Liam said and I looked at him.

He kissed me on the nose and I snuggled into him and fell asleep.
