Sorry about all the inconvenience with this chapter.. and all my others .  Wattpad keeps deleting my chapters and putting them back as Drafts... I would have posted this earlier too.

--------------------------------------

I feel pain, my arms feel raw, sore. My eyelids feel heavy and I don't want to wake up, but I have no choice. Freezing cold water splashes onto me, causing me to have a min-heart attack as I wake. I try to jump forward, only to be stopped by restrictions on my arms. I look at my wrists and realize why they feel sore. They are chained up.

My wrists are tied together by chains and dangle above my head, while my ankles are tied together by rope. I am lifted into the air and tied against a pole, making it impossible to move, or escape. 

I look up to see the person who threw the water on me, It's my brother, Greg. He smirks and leans against the wall.

"Good morning, Sleeping beauty. Welcome to your new home!" He claps, pretending to be a joyful little boy again. 

"Shut up Greg, what's the meaning of this!?" I cry out, trying to pull on my arms. 

The door opens and three people walk in. My smug looking father, a proud looking Josh, and Josh's guilty looking mother. The four people huddle next to each other, smiling at me in a way, that in any other circumstance, would look reassuring. 

"Niall, I suppose that your brother has given you a hearty welcome." My father chuckles, noticing my wet clothes. "I do believe you have met my new wife and her son. Actually, I'm sure you know them quiet well." 

"New wife!?" I gasp out, looking at Josh's mother.

"After your mother left me, with you." My father spits at me. "Dawn here, has been very compassionate, and very willing to please me." 

Dawn cringes, and I see Josh clench his fists a little tighter, but they both cover the slip up and put on angry faces. All four of the people in the room send glares my way, all probably different reasons. 

I glare at Dawn, she is the one who led them back to us. She played her way back into my mother's life, lied about who she was now and led the person who wants me dead most, straight to me. My father punches me in the jaw when he sees my hatred full glare.

"Don't you dare look at my woman like that, you little fag." 

"Your woman?" I choke out a laugh, my jaw feels heavy and broken. "So informal, she sounds more like your property then your wife."

That earned me another punch, this time is to the stomach. 

"Why don't you just kill me already!" I scream out, causing Dawn to flinch and Josh's eyes to glaze over with some emotion I don't recognize, even my brother stands a little taller at the thought, but my father just smiles at me. "Just put an end to it."

"That would take all the fun out of it, my dear boy." My father chuckles darkly, shaking his head back and forth with humour. "Why kill you now, when the game has just begun. You aren't the only player anymore, Niall."

I am not the only player anymore? What does he mean. Greg smiles at me and pulls out a phone. My phone. He throws it in my direction and lands right infront of me, showing off my screen saver.

It is a picture I took of Zayn while he was sleeping a few nights ago, he looked so handsome, so peaceful. 

My eyes widen, I look up at every one's faces when I realize what he means. 

This turned into a one player game to a two player. Now that they have me, Zayn is the new target. 

Zayn's P.O.V

Greg Horan said some pretty suspicious things today, he even dropped more hints throughout homeroom. It worried me. 

He also got a text in the middle of lunch and I watched as a huge smile went on his lips and he winked at me. Suspicious flows through me, anger seeps out my veins. 

If something happened to Niall, It will cause a war. 

I run up the steps to my apartment and barge through the door. Lou, Liam and Harry walk in behind me, they wanted to see if Niall was okay. 

"Niall?" I call out. "Niall?" 

He isn't here, soon, every single one of us are looking about calling him, texting him. No answer. I call his mother at her job and she hasn't seen him. She is twice as worried as I am, and I know why. He must have been taken. I clench my fists as I feel the fire burn in my blood. I through my phone somewhere in the room and sit on my bed, my head in my hands.

You can the peanut butter to my jelly.

You can be the butterflies i feel in my belly.

You can be the captain and I can be the first mate.

You can be the feels that I feel on our first date.

You can be the hero and I can be the sidekick.

You can be the tear that I cry if we ever split.

You can be the rain from the cloud when it's storming.

Or you could be the sun when it shines in the morning.

I scramble around the room, trying to look for my phone, which I just threw. That ring tone is for Niall. He found this cute song on youtube and forced me to put it as the ring tone for when he calls. It's a girl song, but it's meaningful. The boys see me frantically searching and catch on. 

'Cuz You're the apple to my pie, You're  the straw to my berry. 

You're the smoke to my high, 

And your the one I wanna marry.

"Found it!" Harry calls out tossing it to me.

Cuz you're the one for me, for me.

And I'm the one for you for yo- 

"Hello?"

"Zayn, what a pleasure." A rough voice laughs into the phone. "We haven't met yet, but I have realized that you are the young man who currently holds my son's heart, correct?" 

"Where is Niall?" I growl into the phone.

"Down boy." The man laughs into the phone. "If it's Niall you seek, he is right here. Right, son?"

"Zayn!" Niall screams, "I'm sorry! I love you an-" 

"Shut up." I hear someone say, and then the sound of a loud smack and Niall whimper. 

"Josh, please, don't you think you have hurt him enough?" Another voice asks, this time softer. It's a woman.  Josh? If Josh is there, then... It must be his mother, her voice does sound familiar. 

"Don't Touch him." I scream into the phone, causing the three boys next to me to flinch. Harry lays a reassuring hand on my shoulder and shakes his head, trying to hide the tears in his eyes. 

I hear laughing on the other side of the call, and then nothing. The bastard hung up on me. I clench the phone and scream. Liam's eyes squint and looks at me.

"Did they call from Niall's phone?" He asks me, I nod. "Maybe we can get someone to trace the call and find out where he is?" 

Trace the call. 

I know just who I can get to do that.
