Diana

Sixteen - Facetime

Previously

They brought him closer to where I was sitting and I showed him my phone.

His face was pale and he exclaimed, "But D, that is Noah our Head Security Guard. He even brought you to me during our first concert. How can he be-"

Present

Louis drove as fast as he could, I hope we don't get pulled over.

"Louis, drive slower," Zayn said as if he read my mind.

"Yeah sorry. I'm just pissed off by the fact that the one who has to protect us is the one who's doing this shit" Louis glared at Noah who sat in the passenger's seat.

Noah looked offended and said, "It's not-"

"Shut up," Louis raised his voice not letting Noah complete his sentence.

Louis, Liam, Zayn, Noah, Ryan and I hopped out of the car and faced the abandoned house, Noah has navigated us to.

Harry and Niall had gone to drop Gemma, Daisy and Phoebe at their respective houses. I just didn't want them to be in trouble, Ryan refused to go with them and came along with us.

-

We stepped inside the house, all of us being aware of our surroundings. Zayn and Louis stood on either side of Noah, making sure he doesn't attempt something stupid like hurting anyone. Noah had to guard them, but it looked the other way around, which was weird.

Finally, we reached the room we had to go to.

"So this the room, right?" Louis asked, turning around and staring at the dirty walls. The walls were not fully painted, many wires hung around and there was a long table against the centre wall. Two computers and many electronic devices were placed on the table.

"Yes," Noah replied with a faint voice.

"Wanna explain yourself?" Liam asked, looking at Noah.

All of us stood in a straight horizontal line but Noah broke the line and stepped forward. Then he turned around and faced us, but his eyes didn't meet ours.

He started still staring at the floor, "See, I know I made a big mistake. I didn't follow Diana everywhere on purpose. I didn't cause Diana's hand to break intentionally. I didn't give Louis' number to Sam-"

"Wait.....YOU gave Louis' number to Sam?" Ryan exclaimed.

Louis opened his mouth to say, "How could you-"

"-do that?!" I completed his sentence.

"You're supposed to guard them and not get involved in these shitty things" I exclaimed.

"What do you even mean by 'not intentional'?" Liam questioned.

"You did all of it and now you're playing innocent?" Zayn said in disgust.

"Guys STOP, it's not like that. I was forced to do it. If I didn't follow Sam's orders, my family would be in trouble. I had to be selfish in this situation, for my loved ones," he covered his face with his large hands and fell on his knees.

I felt the emotion and sincerity in his words. "Don't cry, Noah" I took a few steps and comforted him.

The next few actions happened in a split second. The large man quickly pinned me down, my face touching the dusty floor. Instantly, he grabbed a paper cutter on the table and placed it closer to my neck. The tiny hair on my skin spiked up and spread goosebumps all over my body.
