 Okay, guys, I’m terribly sorry for not updating…LIKE EVER! I feel so bad. Kiana and Sariann guilt tripped me on Thursday, and Kiana had a brilliant idea. A CHAPTER ADVANT CALANDER! I will write a quarter of a chapter EVERY DAY! And then I will be able EVERY FRIDAY. I hope to keep this up, but homework levels are insane.

Okay! I have a chapter for you! NOOOOOOOOW! (Be happy…I’m sorry it’s short!)

Chapter 8

“LONDON?!” All five boys yell at once. All were shocked by the quickness of Paul’s decision. Louis and Harry give each other quick looks, and Niall pats Zayn shoulder absently. Liam drops to the floor and lets his head droop.

            Weariness creeps into Zayn’s impassive expression. He steps forwards shaking off Niall’s comforting hand. “Are you sure?! It doesn’t sound particularly….thought out. How would we get there without being noticed? Directioners follow our every move! Ashley will likely switch to Twitter and pray for our location from her loyal followers. And if she knows where we are, she knows where Katie and Addy are! I don’t want either of them hurt, nor do I want the lads hurt.” Zayn breathes out, sitting down in the process. He puts his head in his hands. “Paul, I’m just worried.”

            The other boys breathe in Zayn’s rant. Niall steps sideways to sit next to Zayn. He whispers comforting things into the worrying boy’s ear. (A/N got some Ziall going on ;)) Louis leans over to Harry to ask the time. Liam finally pulls his head up. He stands up and clasps his hands at his side, looking directly at Paul.

            Paul looks over the boys. Had he done something wrong with these boys on impulse before? No. So why were they so hesitant this time? Paul thinks to himself, still surveying the scene playing out in front of him.

            Zayn finally looks at Paul with red rimmed eyes. “Are you sure this is the safest thing to do for our girls?” Zayn asks quietly.

            Paul nods with sympathy. “I haven’t thought this over very well, but if you were to stay in Toronto, Katelyn would be…” Paul lets the sentence fall away as the boys decipher the rather obvious message Paul was sending.

            Zayn nods stiffly and stands up like a robot. “Then lead the way.”

“Hello?” Katelyn asks, her voice wavering slightly into her phone.

            “Katie?”

            Katelyn breathes out a breath she hadn’t realized she’d been holding. “Zayn, you scared me! Why are you not using your own phone?! I thought you were my psychotic ex-best friend!” A tear trickles down Katelyn’s pale face. “I’m so glad you are coming. When are you going to be here, Zayn?” Katelyn asks in a quiet voice.

            Zayn breaths out; the phone line crackles. “I’m so sorry I scared you, sweetheart. I am not using my phone because phone calls can be tracked.”

            Katelyn opens her mouth to ask who’s phone he is using just as Zayn says, “Paul’s phone – before you ask.”

            Shifting the phone against her face, Katelyn smiles thoughtfully. “You know me too well.”

            “Too?”

            Katelyn shakes her head, rolling her eyes while smiling. “I knew you would say that. No, you know me better than I know myself, honey.” Katelyn stands up and switches the phone from her right ear to her left, walking into the kitchen. “Now, answer my question, when are you going to b—” a knock on the door interrupts Katelyn’s thought. “Sorry, babe, gotta answer the door. I’ll just be a sec.”

            Katelyn sets her phone down on the counter, bolting to the door. Addison joins her there just as she opens it.

            They stand there frozen in shock as five boys and a large, stalky man are revealed to them.

            Katelyn flings herself into her perfect, deceiving boyfriend’s arms, sobbing into his sweater.

             Zayn chuckles softly, while saying, “Well, babe. To answer your question,” he leans down and kisses her cheek softly before moving his mouth to her ear. “Now.”

AUTHOR’S NOTE: (continued)

I really hope you guys are liking my story! Just to clarify, since Kendra told me she was confused…the boys are going to Toronto to get the girls and their families, AND THEN going to London!

Sorry about that, I wrote it without really reading it over because I felt really bad!

NEXT CHAPTER UP FRIDAY! (Hopefully) THANKS SNOWFLAKES!
