Peacemaker

Chapter thirty one- oh it was you!

Indigo's point of view.......

I had hoped Justin wouldn't recognise me. Damn it damn it damn it! Why now. I could have just left quietly with everyone knowing that I was a fraud. Now I have to leave with everyone knowing I'm a thief as well. But who would be able to resist JUSTIN BEIBER'S LAPTOP? I mean, seriously. I decide to play dumb.

"What?" I say "are you sure?" Justin nods

"I remember your face in the magazine! And I'll be wanting laptop back!" Justin gives me a glare. But I have to keep this up

"I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about" I say "I'm a reporter, not a thief" the lie sticks in my throat like a lump of glue. My cheeks burn scarlet.

"Well," I stammer "I'm gonna......go now" I start to back out the door, feeling all eyes on me.

As I close the door, I feel alone. I have been cast out by that big, loving family. I sigh, and call a cab to take me back to the airport.

Alix's point of view........

"It's is ridiculous!" Zayn slams Gossip magazine down on the coffee table "I can't believe she would do this!"

"Calm down," I say, accidentally sounding strained. Zayn quietness immediately and throws a worried glance my way

"Sorry" he mumbles

"It's fine," I say "stop worrying about me!"

"What's up?" Liam enters the lounge room, and Zayn points to the magazine

"Indigo Tanner" he says simply. Liam examines the cover, the scoops, the reports. All about us, all about everything that's going on here.

"I'm glad you found her out Zayn" Liam says

"Yeah" I turn to him "our hero!" Zayn smiles and pecks me on the lips. Then, in one, unexpected movement, he scoops me up in his arms

"And now!" He says dramatically "I will save you from the fierce Liamosaurus!" He twirls me around, and runs down the hallway.

I'll leave the rest to your imagination. Lets just say, I was glad Elizabeth wasn't around.

Harry's point of view.......

"That's it!" I say, standing up and capturing the attention of the group "we need to go out!"

"Why?" Liam asks

"We've been cooped up in here way too long!" I say "let's go shopping! Like, right now!"

"But it's eight thirty at night!" Alix whines

"The night is young!" Pippa says, getting enthusiastic "everyone! You have ten minutes, and then we're leaving! Go!" All the girls rush into thier rooms, while the lads and I just tidy our hair a bit and wait.

"So," Liam says "preparing for fatherhood? What are you going to name the kid?" I scratch my head

"I think if its a boy, Camaron" I say "if it's a girl, Brooke" the boys nod thier heads

"What a out Louis Junior?" Louis pipes up "that is the best name ever!" I am just about to say something back when all the girls simultaneously exit their rooms, all looking gorgeous.

"Ready?" I ask, and we all nod.

Zayn's point of view.......

We stumble down the quiet streets, not drunk, just laughing and having a good time.

"Who wants to drive?" Harry asks, and I snatch the keys from him

"Me! Definitely!" We pile into our car

"Wait!" Alix says "bathroom break!" Skye nods in agreement. Soon, all the girls are jumping back out

"Won't be a sec! " Skye calls, and they disappear.

We wait for a few minutes, and my phone buzzes

ALIX: just found this cute dress in a shop. U guys go home, we'll walk. C ya soon xx

"Time to go boys" I say "the girls found a shop. My guess is we won't be seeing them until morning!" We all laugh, and I start the car.

"I WHIP MY HAIR BACK AND FORTH I WHIP MY HAIR BACK AND FORTH!" We scream, singing along with the music. I tap my hands in the steering wheel as we bump along the road. Suddenly, a yellow blur streaks across the road.

"HOLY CRAP!" I scream, breaking hard. But it's not enough. Something slams into the bonnet and roles under the car. I stop at once and we all leap out

"What was that?" Niall asks frantically. We run to the back of the car. Lying in a cloud of dust is a body

"SHIT!" Liam yells "hit someone!"

"Guys?" A timid voice asks. Pippa, Skye, Lea, Sophia, and Elizabeth come out of the trees. But no Alix. My mind clicks. I glance agian at the body on the road, with long blonde hair thick with blood. No.

"NO!" I scream. I run to the body and flip it over. Sure enough, Alix's unconscious face is in my arms, limbs twisted and head bleeding.

"Call an ambulance!" I order to no one in particular "quickly" I take Alix's hand, and I feel a pressure on my shoulder. I look up to see Niall staring down

"It's okay" he says softly "she'll be fine" I nod, but it's more for his benifit than mine.

Because I know that Alix isn't going to wake up.
