(Z.m) Hiatus DRV.

Chapter 6

[Danielle P.O.V]

I sigh, staring at myself in the mirror. I can barely recognize myself with the heavy make up on. I try to pull up the skimpy cropped top Hayley forced me to buy. I have a feeling she had all of this planned out.

Most likely.

I exit my bathroom, my long hair swishing behind me in its ponytail, and I grab my knee high boots. As I pull them on, I side glance at the body mirror near the door, grimacing at my appearance. I glance at the clock, seeing that I'll be late if I don't hurry.

I grab my bag, rushing out of the door. Right as I jump in the elevator, someone else slides in just before the doors close. I look over to see Niall. He locks eyes with me, and his nearly bulge put of his head.

"Why are you dressed like that? Where are you going?" He asks, taking in my appearance. I cross my arms, giving him a side glare.

"Don't look at me like that, Niall. I'm going out with Hayley." I say.

He nods in understanding. "Now that makes more sense." He comments. The elevator dings, and the doors slide open. "Bye Niall!" I call out, rushing out of the building. I quickly spot Hayley standing near the road, eyes cast down on her phone.

"I'm here." I say. She nods dismissively. "Yeah, I know. Taxi's on its way." She says, looking up at me. Her eyes widen, and a smirk lands on her face. "Nice job! I knew you didn't totally hate that shirt!" She commends. I give her a disapproving look.

"Trust me, I do. Only reason I chose this, is because I knew you'd make me wear something worse of I didn't try." I argue.

She opens her mouth to speak, but the cab drives up before she can speak. She eagerly hops in, pulling me with her. "To the Cold Iron joint!" She says. The driver nods, before swerving out of the road.

"You owe me big time." I say. She just laughs, hitting my arm. "You'll thank me later!"

(4 hours later)

I shout along with the rest of the crowd, throwing my hands in the air. The music thumps in my ears, and I roll my hips to the beat. Hayley moves hers along with me, stupid grins on our faces.

"So, aren't you enjoying this?" Hayley asks. I close my eyes, nodding. I'd never expected to actually get wasted at a place like this, and still be enjoying it. Its like I don't have a care in the world now. I turn around, grabbing some random dude's arms and sliding them around my waist.

I let out a cheery laugh as we grind on each other, the smell of alcohol in the air. As I move along to the beat, I glance over subconsciously to the side, catching a glimpse of someone in the back.

I tilt my head, trying to get a better view, but other grinding couples block my vision. I remove the guy's arms from me, earning a displeased look, but ignore him, leaving the dance floor. I order another shot, trying to find the mystery person.

I down the drink, another wave of haziness washing over me. I move towards the back, where I can see Liam and five other guys in hoods that are smoking cigarettes.

I fan away the smoke, skipping up to Liam. I grab onto his arm, making his attention divert to me. He frowns, looking as of he'd been caught.

"H-hey Liam! W-w-what are you *hiccup* doing here?" I ask. He slightly turns to his buddies, cocking his head to the side. A few comply, moving away from us.

"Just a night out with my.....friends." He says. I nod, leaning on him some more. I randomly laugh, lookoimg into his eyes.

"Its so funny, because I found something on the ground today...." I trail off, playing with his hair. "I, I found a tiny, tiny paper. With tiny, tiny handwriting on it. I-it told me to come here! And look, we are all here! Wow! How many people read that tiny paper, Liam?" I slur.

His eyes widen, and I laugh at his expression. "You make funny faces. C'mon! Let's go dance!" I tug on his arm, leading him to the dance floor.

Hayley spins around on the dance floor, catching sight of us. "Oh my gosh! Look at you two! Little love birds! See, I knew you'd get a boyfriend!" She grins.

I nod eagerly, dragging Liam with me. Suddenly, one of his big, burly buddies walks up to us. "You trying to bail Payne?" He asks, grabbing Liam's shoulder.

He shakes his head. "No. Just give us a second-" Liam says, but the buff man snorts. "No! Give us the goods now, or we take her, and take you out! We had an agreement!" He says. I frown. Take me? Oh! They must, they must be playing a game!

Liam rapidly shakes his head. "Not in front of her-" Liam says, but the man shoves us both. "Now!" He yells. I flinch, holding onto Liam's arm. "What the fuck is going on?" I inquire. Liam shoves me off him, sending a blow at the mans face. I shriek, backing away from them.

A small packet falls from his pocket, falling onto my foot. I bend down cautiously, picking it up. Before I can attempt to give it back, I feel a tug on my arm, seeing Hayley gripping it.

"Uh, I think it may be time to go. Come on, tell your boyfriend goodbye." She says, tugging me out of the bar. I'm unable to speak as we exit the building, the somewhat cool air of New York hitting my face.

Hayley tugs us into another cab, and we begin our journey back home. I shut my eyes, resting my head on the head cushion, questions swirling in my head. How could Liam be involved with those ass holes? And whats in this little package? Is this what those men wanted? I sigh tiredly. I should just stay away from him from now on.

(1 hour later)

Hayley exits her bathroom, wringing put her wet hair. I curl up my body in the furry throw, eyes cast on the TV. She plop down beside me, her chihuahua hopping up onto her lap. I pet the small dog, smiling at how cheery she is all the time.

"How long have you had Vega?" I ask, referring to the cream colored dog. Hayley sinks into the cushion, flipping the channels. "Since we moved to New York. About a year and a half." She answers.

I nod, sighing, "Hayley?" She hums in reply. "Let's never go there again." I say. "Agreed." She says.

So, what do you think was in that small package? Do you think Liam will come after her? Do you think Liam got out of that mess? All in the next chapter(s)!
