The mentally brave ( Editing)

"I'm terribly sorry, I am looking for the auditorium, but I got lost on my way and there is no one to ask for directions" I swallow as I start explaining myself with the best American accent I could conjure under this much stress.
"You're one of the students" The man said looking at the VIP card round my neck.
"Yes, and I'm late, can you please direct me in the right way?"
"What is your name?" He asked still not letting me go. He was wearing a sleeveless shirt, with long jeans. I could see the tattoos running down the side of his back.
"Please don't get me into trouble, see? I had something fly into my eye, so I had to go back and change from contacts to glasses so I'll be able to see" I gave him a weak smile
"How did you get in here?" He asked not showing any sign of letting me go.
"What do you mean? I just walked down the corridor"
"This wing is locked 24\7"
"Is it? It was wide open" I pointed at the direction I walked in from. I read his mind, and my smile got a little wider. "Listen, why don't you just let me go and we can forget about this whole thing? No one needs to find out you forgot the door open" I whispered to him.
"You never told me your name" He said, but finally let my arm go.
"You never told me yours" I rubbed the spot he held on to.
"Tom"
"Amanda" I offered my hand for him to shake. As he did I got a glimpse of a tattoo on his side "Lux.. a girlfriend?"
I saw his eyes go a little wide at my comment, having a flash of a memory fly across my mind.
A little blond girl barely walking giggling as she made her way to her father's arms. The woman holding up the camera moved it for just a moment to say something. I catch a glimpse of her face. Lou. Baby Lux was Tom's daughter.




I sit down between Niall and Taylor trying my best not to be seen by the professor, the dark auditorium was my refuge since he was showing them a slideshow.
"Where the hell were you? Harry is going crazy! I was just about to come look for you" Niall whispered at me harshly. We were shushed by the other students. I took out my phone to find 20 missed calls and 12 messages. Two of each where form Niall, the rest from Harry.

To: Niall
From: Lizzie

I'm fine, I think I know where they are keeping Perrie.


To: Harry
From: Lizzie

Guess who I just met… Tom.. you have much explaining to do later.

To: Lizzie
From: Harry

Bloody hell Liz! I was ready to come in and get you! What the hell happened?

I didn't answer Harry's message, having the need to ignore him, after finding out the story they were keeping from me is much bigger then they let on. Tom. How did they meet Lou and Lux? Do they know Tom works for the company? After all Lou was the one who changed Niall and my hair colour for this. It was time for me to know what was going on.
"Where have you been?" Taylor whispered "With Jon?" She gave me a knowing smile
"You got me" I smiled back. Its better she came up with her own story of where I was then her knowing the truth.
What was the truth? I was drowning in thoughts. The truth is we are a bunch of freaks trying to save our friend. A bunch of freaks who would probably be locked up in cages having new tests done on us every day to find out what makes us like this.
And another truth was that Harry and I never actually slept together. I mean we slept- as in sleeping. The closest we got to having sex was that day we got back to the cabin after our meet and greet with the Xman. How long ago was that? Seems like years, though it has only been about two months. And a week and a half since they got hold of Perrie. I flinched from the thought of them keeping hold on her. How much damage have they done to her in two weeks?
Niall noticed my flinch, making me warm and calm. When the lights went back on I slid down a little in my chair so I won't be noticed.
I couldn't keep focused as the images I've seen in Tom's mind kept flashing before my eyes. The baby laughing, her arms stretched out for her father. Lou smiling behind the camera. Doe's Tom go back home every night to his wife and kid? Do they know where he works? And for who? I got up from my seat and walked out of the room. I had to get some fresh air.
"Lizzie" I heard Niall call behind me.
I looked to the sides making sure no one had heard him call me by my real name.
"Come here" I turn my head to him. He strides over and I hold on to his arm.
"It's time for you to tell me about Tom" I whisper
"How do you know about that?" He asked 'Where is Harry when I need him?' I read his mind.
A similar memory to the one I've seen came into Niall's mind, but this time Harry and Perrie were there too. Seeing Perrie's smile was enough for me to leave everything and go marching in to the locked section and get her.
"I need to go and find Harry" I look up into Niall's eyes. I could see the pain reflecting in them. Whatever happened to that family, it didn't have a good ending.
I walk out to the street, cross the road and walk into the hotel. I am immediately faced with a dark looking Harry. Without a word he took hold of my arm and started pulling me to where the lifts were.
"Let me go Styles" I say pulling myself free
"Would you care to explain what was that reckless behavior?" He hissed at me keeping his voice low.
"When you'll care to explain what happen with Lou and Tom" I crossed my arms over my chest. Harry let out a growl while pulling at his curls.
"Yea… I can play this game too" I look at him.
He gave the side wall a little kick in frustration. The lift arrived and we got in. Harry pressed the button for my room floor. We got out and walked in silent. Harry stepped aside to let me unlock the door, which I did without using the key. He closed the it behind him as I threw myself onto the bed.
"You've seen Tom" Harry said leaning on the dresser.
I nodded yes
"Does he know who you are? What you can do?"
I shook my head for no.
"What did you find out?" I watched his eyes, they were black with fury.
"I answered enough of your questions. Now it's your turn"
"Damn it Liz this isn't the time" He raised his voice.
"If you're not going to tell me then you can bagger off"
"Fuck it" Harry banged his fist down.
"Tom can't find out who you are, he could get into a lot of trouble, it could get Lou and Lux into a lot of trouble"
I could see he was in a pool of emotions, barely keeping his head above. I didn't know what brought this on, so I got up and wrapped my arms around his waist looking up at his face.
"Harry" I say softly. He looked down at me, I can tell he is calming himself down, as his eyes turned slowly back to green.
"Tell me what happen.. If I'm in the loop I can help much more then out of it" Harry traced the side of my face with his fingers, taking a strand of my hair between them, sliding his fingers along it.
"All right" He finally said.


**Tom's POV**

It caught me off guard to have that girl ask about my tattoo of Lux's name. It seemed as if she knew who Lux was, those blue eyes of hers going that wide. But how could that be? She was an American student here from wherever.
Sleep just wouldn't come to me tonight. I miss Lux. I miss Lou. How long was it since I've seen them last? Over a year..
I don't know how long I can go through with this. Keep healing Perrie. She is one strong girl.
I was shocked to my place when I first saw her here. Never thought I'll see anyone of them again especially under these circumstances.
My insides turn every time I am called to her cell to heal another wound. What would I do to get her out. But we both know I can't. We both know what will happen if I would. Tears ran down our faces when we first met here. She whispered to me they're safe, that Harry was taking care of them, made sure they're at a safe haven. But even though they are, I can't take that risk, If I'll do they will be hunted.
I remember the day I met Harry and his gang. It was such a surprise to find out the Company was known to such a large group. Liam was the one who came across who I was, hacking into the Company's data. I was the first child they turned. I'm the only one they found on the Company's data too. They came across each other by checking the name of the doctor that was attendant at their birth. Having people like me, who relate was ace.
I still remember the day the company found us. That day they held a gun to Luxy's head. Lou's screams. I had no choice but to go with them, or else they would have killed them both. I never saw them since. Didn't know if they're alive or dead until last week when Perrie was brought in.
"Tom, you're needed at the cells" There was a knock on my door.
Well, here we go again.


"So Tom is one of us then?" I asked as Harry explained.
"Yes, but he was taken. Ed took the memory of that day away from Lux. No kid no matter their age should have such a memory" I heard the bitterness in his voice. Harry hurt for them.
"After that I took them to a safe house checking up on them every day, making sure they are doing well"
My hand was on Harry's thigh as he spook, while the other was holding on to his thumb.
"I thought Tom was dead" He looked up at me his eyes now a light green.
"He is very much alive"
"I wonder if he knows Perrie is there. If he'd seen her"
"He probably did. I think he knows where she is kept" I sigh
"He can't help us. If the Company will find out he's helping.."
"It can hurt Lou and Lux" I finish his sentence.
Harry bit his lower lip, looking at my hand holding on to his thumb, he stroked it looking up at me.
I couldn't help but think of what Taylor said to me before 'You where with Jon'
We haven't been alone in such a long time.
I shifted closer to him, letting go of his hand and bringing both of mine to his face.
"Lizzie" Harry murmured.
"Shhh" I whispered. I kissed his nose, then skimmed my lips across his jaw line, taking in his scent. Harry moved his head so our lips will collide.
His soft plumped lips closed over mine, sucking. I gave out a little moan.
With my mind I locked the door to the room. Harry hearing the lock turn smiled againts my lips. His hands ran down my body, pulling me closer to him, finding a grip on my bum and staying there. My fingers ran through his curls, since I knew what that does to him, and I felt the sensation go through him as I did.
"God Lizzie" He ground at my neck moving his hands to caress it, running his fingers through my hair as I did to him.
I pulled off his shirt, feeling his bare chest under my hands, my cheeks turning red as I noticed Harry watching me.
"Are you sure you're ready for this?"
I nodded my head and went in for another kiss. I felt him tug on my tank top, helping him take it off by raising my arms. Harry's hands came to hold my waist, his big hands almost circling my whole Scope. I touched his dimples softly with my fingers watching as they deepend.
"I love you" Harry stared into my face his eyes locked to mine
"I love you" I stared back at him as I sat on his lap facing him.
"I need to tell you something" He whispered
"You can tell me later" I leaned in for another kiss.
Harry let out a sigh, getting up, holding on to me, and laying me slowly on the bed. He then climbed over me holding his weight by his elbows.
"I want you" He breathed
"So come and get me" I pulled his lips down to mine.


"So I took this" I handed over Perrie's file.
We were all up at the suite. Niall was back from the Company, he told Taylor I wasn't feeling well. She moved the information on to Michael.
Liam took the file and went through it, Harry and Ed reading over his shoulder.
"My bloody god" Liam exclaimed.
"They are a bunch of sick people" Ed agreed. I didn't want to know what was written there, closing my mind so I won't be able to read their thoughts.
"Lizzie, you all right?" Harry looked up at me. He kept checking up on me throughout the day. I smiled up at him, letting him know I was fine. I was more than fine, I was great. Being with Harry like that was one of the best moments of my life, feeling his hands touch me the way they did.
Once they were done reading the file they handed it over for Niall to read.
"Bloody hell" He murmured as his eyes read the writing in the file "We must get her out Harry"
Harry nodded as he picked up his vibrating phone and answered it.
"Talk to me"
As he listened to Louis and then stopped him, walking away with the phone to get some privacy.
When he got back his eyes were dark and his jaw was set. We all looked up at him recognizing that face.
"We go in tonight" He said. Then walked into the other room closing the door after him.
