Run (One Direction) [Watty Awards 2012]

Chapter Twenty-Three

I'm scared something happened to Louis.

Louis

I push open the service door in the back of the hospital, and slip into the back alley.

I don't have much time.

They'll notice I left soon.

'Louis, it's a trap!'

Of course it's a trap.

But I can't let Harry die in my place.

He sounded horrible.

And I can't help but wonder what they've been doing to him.

He's been there for two weeks.

And he sounded . . . defeated. I've never known Harry to sound like that.

Ever.

Okay.

Yeah.

This is stupid.

But if I can find Harry . . . I have to try.

Eventually, Paul gets frustrated with us and leaves, probably to look for Louis. As soon as he's gone, we all start talking at once, until Liam manages to get our attention.

“Lads!” he shouts. Everyone is quiet immediately, looking at him. “Does anyone know where Louis would have gone?” he asks.

“If I knew, I would've told Paul” Zayn says.

“What would've made him leave?” Callin asks softly. We all turn to look at her. “Harry” she says. “He would leave for Harry.”

The warehouse the guy wanted me to get to isn't far.

But of course, in my rush to leave the hospital, I forget that I'm sort of famous.
