Strings (Book 2 in the CCHR Series)

Chapter 3

"You see Louis, this is business. You need publicity, and I need money." Ryan said blankly. "Typically, we don't use kidnapping to earn it, but hey, leave an impression right?"

I pulled at the guards one last time before I simply gave up. I went limp and just cried.

"I'll sign it..." I whispered weakly. "Just don't hurt him. Don't hurt Liam.."

"Who ever said anything about hurting him? He's just restrained, that's all. We're shaking him up a bit."

"Leave him alone.." I breathed. "I'd rather die."

"I know Louis, and that's why we might just keep him there like that for now..." Eleanor said, coming back into the room.

My lip raised into a snarl. I lashed out at the guards one more time, and startled them. I succeeded in getting out. They immediately ran to grab me, but I was fast enough to get to Eleanor, and throw a punch.

Right to her stomach.

She fell back, clutching her 7 month belly. Ryan ran to her side, while the guards that had me pulled back. I took one last glance at Liam on the screen. I saw someone enter his room, and lashed out. I didn't even know what was happening to him, but I could tell by the terrified look on his face, that it wasn't good.

I felt my phone buzz in my pocket. I couldn't answer it. The guards were holding my arms too tight.

They dragged me out of the room, but just before the door closed, I saw Eleanor looking at her hand. It was covered in blood.

Liam was kidnapped, and was possibly being tortured, Harry was god knows where doing who knows what to himself because I had to pretend to be in love with the bitch that was about to have my baby.

Fuck.

Harry POV

Liam's phone rang for the umpteenth time.

"Where the fuck are you Liam?" I whispered to myself.

I hung up once again, and dialed Niall.

"HARRY!" Niall answered the phone.

"Niall what's wrong? Why are you yelling? Why isn't Liam picking up his phone, do you know?"

"HARRY!!" Niall yelled again.

"Niall?"

"Harry they came! Security guards came and took Liam, I don't know where but they took him!!" Niall cried.

"Oh my God!" I gasped. "They took him forcefully?"

"Yes! They didn't even give him the opportunity to co-operate!! Why the hell would they do that??"

"What the hell is happening?" I asked, just generally.

"Where's Louis?" Niall asked.

"Louis left. He left me, and the flat. He's with Eleanor." I said quietly.

"Oh mate, I'm sor.." He stopped.

"Niall? You there?" I asked.

"Harry... they wouldn't would they?" Niall said.

"Ni, I'm not following. Do you know why they took Liam away?"

"Harry, call Louis. Use your landline right now. Call Louis' cell."

"Niall I.."

"Now, Harry. Now. I'm calling Zayn."

I fumbled with my cell, setting it down on the side table. I picked up our home phone, and punched in Louis' number. It started ringing.

"C'mon Louis.." I begged.

His voicemail came on.

I redialed quickly.

"DAMMIT LOU!! PICK UP!"

His voicemail came through again, and I wanted to cry. I didn't know what Niall was thinking, but I still loved Louis, and if anything was happening to him, there was going to be consequences.

"Niall, Louis didn't pick up!" I said into my cell.

"Zayn did, he's fine." Niall said. "Harry, I don't know what this means, but something is not right."

I nodded. That was all I could do.

AN: On that happy note:

Realistically, I know that this would NEVER happen, but in this story it does.

DONT KILL ME!

This is gonna be interesting though. I'm the author, and at this point I'm not even sure how it will play out.

Let me know what you think!

Ciao!!!
