DARK

65. I promise.

*JESSIE'S POV*

I sighed and looked up. Louis hadn't slept, he was so focused on finding Niall. He had dark bags under his eyes. I sighed and walked over to him, "hey, you want coffee ?" I asked, he nodded. I took the laptop from him and wrapped my arms around him. I kissed his cheek, "we will find him Lou I promise," I told him, he flung his arms around me. "I know, I just... I need to find him," he groaned. "This fucking tracker isn't working," he told me, I looked at it, and on the screen it read "Failed" I sighed. "You just have to keep trying," I told him.

"Hey guys !" Zayn smiled walking into the room. "I have booked me and jacob our tickets to Australia, we go tomorrow,"!he told us. Jacob and Charlie were called by Louis to help us. Jacob was helping Zayn, find Liam. Charlie was helping Louis. I hadn't told anyone that I don't trust Charlie. "Louis, you're going to have to stay here until she goes with Tristen," Zayn told him, he nodded. "It's not like I am finding Niall any time soon am I ?" he frowned. I sighed, and grabbed Louis's hand, and smiled. He let go, and grabbed the laptop, again searching for Niall.

Zayn came and sat down beside us. I smiled at him, he wrapped his arm around me. "Are you going to be okay ?" he asked me, I nodded and smiled. "Yeah, I will be alright," I told him. "I am going to be fine, I have Louis here to keep me safe, and then I have Tristen," I smiled, his grip got tense. "I am still not sure I trust Harry on this one ... I mean how do we know Tristen is defiantly good ?" he asked, I put my hand up to his cheek. I ran my fingers along his jaw line. "I know you're still worried about me and Harry. I know you are scared you're going to lose me, but you won't okay? I trust Harry on this, I mean I would trust him with my life, and if he says Tristen is going to help us, then I will believe him, I am not asking you to, but ... you can't change my mind," I told him.

He sighed and nodded. "I know, I am just worried," he told me, I nodded and kissed, "you won't lose me Mr. Malik," I smiled and kissed him. He pulled back, "well we better get packing, you want to help me ?" he asked, I nodded and stood up, then turned. "Louis where are your clothes ?" I asked, "in my room, but I am here now, so I haven't been to get them yet," he spoke, his eyes staying on the computer screen. I looked at him, "you should probably go and get them," I told him, he nodded and looked at me. "Don't take your eyes, of these," he said pointing to all the devices in front of him. I nodded, "you have my word," I told him, he stood up and looked once more, "thanks Jessie," he smiled and kissed my cheek, before walking out.

I stood there for a moment. "I haven't ever seen him like this before," I spoke, Zayn came behind me, and wrapped his arms around my waist tightly, then buried his head in my neck, pressing his lips against my neck. "He cares about Niall, it's like his baby brother," Zayn spoke, "why does he blame himself though ?" I asked, "you want to hear the story ?" he asked, I nodded and he pulled me onto the couch.

*FLASHBACK*
*LOUIS POV*

"Please just let me come !" he begged, I groaned, "Niall what don't you understand about No ?" I asked, sliding my shoes on. "I don't see why I can't come," he groaned. Niall has been friends with me since he was seven, and I was ten. Our families knew each other. So he was like my baby brother. "Niall if you get hurt, it will be my fault so no," I told him. "Why not, I AM 16 !!" he groaned. "Yeah, and I am 19, so I win," I replied. "No this isn't fair. Liam and Zayn are 16. Harry is 15! I mean, he is younger than me, so why can't I COME ?!" he ended in a yell, "because I said so, stay the fuck here," I told him, Charlie pushed past Niall, "you ready ?" he asked me, I nodded and looked at Niall. "You don't fucking leave this house," I told him.

When me and Charlie got to the hide out, everyone was there. Liam was stood with Zayn, Zayn had a fag in his hand. Harry and Jacob were sat playing cards, and we slowly walked over. We went through our plan of attack, so we could go against the other gang that we were currently rivalling against. The plan was simple, and everyone agreed with it. Then we all heard a crack, we all stood up. All of us alert. Liam reached for his gun, and pulled it out. "Calm down guys it's me," Niall spoke, walking out from the bushes. I took a deep angry breath. "Niall ! Long time no see," Harry smiled, high fiving Niall. "Niall ! I told you not to come !" I shouted, everyone backed away from Niall slowly. Niall stood there and stared down at his feet. I walked over to him, "NIALL YOU FUCKING-" I yelled but stopped when, "Louis ..." Charlie whispered. "I am sorry I was just-" Niall stopped, Zayn cut him off. "Shut up- Did you hear that ?" Zayn asked.
