The mentally brave ( Editing)

"What is going on?" I walked into the room after Harry.
He was looking out the window, ignoring my question.
"Harry" I paced up to him and touched his arm "What did Louis say?"
"Louis had a vision, so we need to go in today" He was still not looking at me.
"We? Who is going?"
"Not you. Ed, Niall and I, you will stay here with Liam" He said in his final tone
"You must be joking, if you think I will be staying here"
"Lizzie, please don't fight me on this" He finally looked at my face. I had to take another look at his face to be sure I was seeing correctly. His eyes were red. Harry was crying.
"Harry? What happened baby?" I take his face in my hands pulling him to me. His arms wrapped around me in a tight grip.
"I'm sorry" He cried
"Sorry for what love? You didn't do anything" I stroked his curls, as he squeezed me to him.
"This is my entire fault, I was too stubborn to turn away and leave it alone" He sobbed
"Harry look at me" I leaned back and touched his face once more with my palms "This is not your fault. The only people who are in fault are the Company x for thinking they can use people like us as lab rats" I wiped at his cheeks. It broke my heart to see him like this. Harry who was so strong, who lead us, who took a bullet for me, how didn't mind taking a beating for one of us, who cared so much about each and every one of the gang as if he or her were his real family blamed himself for what happened to Perrie.
"I never meant for any of this to happen" His voice was calmer now, but still hoarse.
"Harry this has nothing to do with you" I say my heart not holding up with the amount of pain seeping from Harry.
"It is all to do with me, you don't understand" He held my shoulders looking deep into my eyes. "It is all me, I was trying to tell you, I'm tainted" His hold on my shoulder grew stronger, he was hurting me.
"Harry let me go, you're hurting me" I tried pushing him back. He was blocking my powers, making it impossible to break free of his hold. I have never seen him this way.
"I need to make this right" He told me
"Make it right, let go of me Styles" I tell him, my hands griping his arms. But it was as if I wasn't there. He was deep in his own thoughts, not letting me break through to him. I make the chair by the table move and smash in to him, making us both fall to the earth.
"Fuck.. Liz.. Lizzie I'm sorry" Harry snapped out of what was going on in his head rolling off of me, pulling me up back to my feet.
"It's ok, listen you need a shower and rest before you go tonight"
"Yes, yes I do" He was acting weird not really sure what he should do. This was not the Harry I knew. I helped him undress and put on hot water to fill the small bath. Once it was full of warm soapy water he got in, sitting down, resting his head on knees.
He was over stressed, this is what it is. I got some water and poured it over his head, watching his curls turn wet. How did I miss this? I was good with signs, so how did I miss the stress in his eyes, the toll this whole thing took on him. He can't go in to the compound like this. That is when I made up my mind.


"Where are you going? I haven't seen you the whole day" Taylor said as I entered our room.
"Yeah, sorry.. I had a few things that needed to be taken care of" I went straight to my bag. I took out jeans and a top. I changed into them and took out my trainers and some socks too.
"You going for a run?"
"Sort of.." I put my hair in a ponytail and turn to walk out of the room potting my glasses down on the dresser.
"Hey Taylor" I turn to her "You're quite a cool friend to have". She smiled at me not really understanding where that came from.
I walked out of the room, making my way to the lifts. As I grew closer I spot Niall and Ed coming out. I turn back and head to the stairs praying they haven't seen me.
I rush down all those flights until I reach the lobby. I sneak out, looking sideways as I cross the street to the company's compound.
I swipe my card at the door. There was no guard at the entrance. But with all the security they have they don't really need one.
I walk down the corridor to the locked doors and unlock them. I walk past the rooms, knowing they are empty, not being able to hear people's thoughts.
I reach the doors at the end and try to push them open. When I find them locked I unlock them as well. I push past them.
I am standing at the opening of a new corridor, this one full of cells instead of room.
'Please, not again' I hear a thought
"Perrie" I whisper.
"Lizzie?" I hear her call my name. I rush to the last cell, watching as she stretched her hands past the bars.
"Perrie! I came to get you! I'm going to get you out" I say, unlocking her cell door. I pull it open, as she fell into my arms.
"Lizzie, what have you done? This is a trap.. They know.. Michael knows" She was crying
"What do you mean?" I am confused.
"She means that now she has a new inmate"
I turn to find Michael standing in back of me with two guards. One on each side.
'Which one are you? What power do you possess?' I hear him ask himself.
"You will let us go" I say standing up straight, my hand in Perrie's.
"I love it how you're so sure of this" Hi chuckles.
"Because, you're one of us, why are you working for these monsters?"
"Monsters? They made you who you are! Special, they are no monsters they are your own personal god"
"They made us into freaks, we need to hide the true us, they are no god" I spat, fury overcoming me.
"All right, I would love to stay and chat, but I have work to do.. so back in your cell love" He pointed at Perrie "And your new neighbor can get into the one next to you"
"Yeah.. You know.. I don't think so" I say.
"Oh yeah?" Michael took a few steps closer to us "And how exactly are you planning to leave? Walk out the front doors?"
"Well, yeah.. But first I'll need to do this" I sent a punch to his face. My fist colliding with his jaw. Perrie doesn't need to be told twice. She takes on the guard closer to her, having him in a head lock in no time, being talented as she is.
I on the other hand was in a disadvantage not being as strong of a fighter like my friends were. Michael clocked my face, making my vision go dark for a moment. I shook my head and smashed into his body sending both of us to the ground. I knew the other guard was coming for me, reading his decision to take me out first.
"Perrie" I call her. She kicked the guard, using the one she had in a head lock as a firm substance to lean on as she did. Michael got to my neck trying to chock me, I had my hands around his trying to pull his fingers away. I used my mind to bend them back, hearing him let out a cry. "You damn bitch" He let go of me.
"Enough" We heard someone say.
Dr. Cowell walked in hands behind his back. I let go of Michael and stood up.
"Perrie darling, why don't you let those to fine men go" He gave her a white smile
"I wouldn't call them fine" I mutter under my breath.
"Amanda how wonderful of you to join us" He turned to me
"Yeah, it is isn't it? But unfortunately I must leave.. I just came to take Perrie" I gave him a sweet smile.
"You're funny" He chuckled "You remind me of this young girl I used to treat" He winked at me. "You will be staying here though" He said his smile not reaching his eyes.
"Too bad" I shrug. I clench my fist close, ready to take him on too.
"I wouldn't do that love" He pointed to my hands, "you see, not when I have the advantage"
Dr. Cowell snapped his fingers. In walked Niall, his head bent to the ground, an armed guard behind him, holding a gun to his head.
"If you do anything that might cross me, your friend here will be shot"
"Ni?" I ask, shocked to see him here. He looks up at us, than lowers his head again.
I look at Perrie, tears running down her cheeks, knowing that not only she will not be leaving today, two of her friends will be joining her.
"Put them back in their cells, and get Tom to heal her face" Dr. Cowell nodded his head in my direction. "Oh and Amanda, I will find out which one you are"
"What does that mean?"
"I never worked on an American called Amanda, so I'm wondering which one are you" With a smile he turned and walked out.
We were locked in our cells. I was waiting for us to be left alone so I could break out again, and try and run.
"Niall what the hell possessed you to come down here?" I lean my head against the cool bars.
"I followed you" He still had the glasses on his nose, which meant Harry, Liam and Ed have a visual of us.
We heard a door slam and Tom came into view. He stopped looking at us. His eyes fell on me first "You again" He mumbled, than he looked at Niall "Shit"
"Hi Tom, thought you were dead" Niall waved to him.
"Damn it! You too? Why would you come here? I reckon you are one of them?" He turned to face me.
"Guilty, why don't you be a stud and let us out?" I gave him my million dollar smile.
"I can't there is too much for me to lose, you won't understand" He paced to stand in front of me, reaching his hand through the bars to get to my face, though I shifted back away from his touch.
"Let him heal you Lizzie" Perrie told me.
"No! You can't be Lizzie, Lizzie's died" Tom looked from Perrie to me.
"Why would you know that?" I asked him suspiciously.
"Because when Dr. Cowell was told that you died he was furies! He punished your dad for not taking better care of you.
"I don't understand" I was beyond confused now. Tom signaled me to come closer. I took a few steps towards him, just close enough for his fingers to touch my cheek. I felt heat at the spot we were touching, and soon after my face hurt no more.
"That was amazing" I said touching my cheek.
"You are very special to Dr. Cowell, I don't know why, but he can't learn who you really are, don't let him know what you can do" Tom whispered to me fast. I studied his face for a moment "You know Tom.. Lux is beautiful" I gave him a small smile
"You've seen Lux?" His eyes went wide. He was struggling to keep his emotions in check.
"I have, we both did.. Lou changed our hair for us" I told him "She is truly amazing"
"You see why I can't help you, If I do they will be in loads of trouble"
"There has to be a way out of here" I look around the cell.
"Perrie, how are you holding up?" Niall asked suddenly
"Ni, I've missed you.. they were running all these types of tests, and when they weren't I was questioned for all of your whereabouts"
"Did they touch you? Were you hurt?" I asked concerned
"There is this one sick bloke who likes to throw some punches when he doesn't like the answer he is given" She looked at her feet.
"That son of a bitch, we'll get them all" I say "Tom" I turn to him.
"Tom did the best he could" Perrie said fast, sticking up for her long lost friend.
"Every night I come in to have a chat, you know keeping us both sane" He shrugged.
"It must be so hard for you to be away from your family like this" I feel bad, he has it the worst, being away from his family, not knowing if they're ok, having the company punish them if he does something to cross Dr. Cowell.
We heard a small beep and Luke appeared right next to Tom.
"Luke" We three said together
"What the hell?" Tom took a step back.
"I came to get you" He told us.
"No you can't" Tom lifted his arms to his face, fear for what will happen to his family if Luke takes us away showing in his eyes.
"Tom right? You're coming with, Lou and Lux are with us, and they're safe, away from the Company's eyes"
"They are?" I could see the hope in his eyes, seeing how his mind changed just from hearing Harry's name.
"Here, he wants to talk to you" Luke hands over a cell phone. Tom picks it up to his ear.
"Harry" He whispered looking at the door.
"I am taking Perrie first, I'll be back for you" Luke said. I unlock Perrie's cell and watch as she takes Luke's offered hand in hers. After another Beep they are gone.
"Here, Harry wants to speak to you" Tom hands me the phone, his eyes musty with emotion.
"Harry" I say
"Lizzie, are you ok? Did you get hurt?" He was talking really fast.
"I'm fine, nothing Tom here can't fix" I say.
"What were you thinking? Dr. Cowell can't find out who you are you here me? Luke is on his way he will be taking you next, you have to get out of there, and when you get back we need to talk"
"We will, I'll see you soon" I say.
"You acted like a total twit Lizzie, keep safe, I love you" I heard him say.
I hang up just as Luke appears again. I stick the phone in my pocket and unlock my cell door.
"Good thing Niall had the glasses with him hey? So they can see what's going on" I waved to Niall.
"Come on Liz, we need to move fast" Luke hurried me.
"Wait" I unlock Niall cell, letting him go free.
"Tom, Luke will come back for both of you" I touched his arm.
"I'll get to see Lou and Lux" He smiled, A tear falling from his eye.
"No you won't"
We all look up to see Dr. Cowell standing in front of us once again, a guard next to him with a gun pointed at Tom.
"Shot him" The Dr. said
"Nooo" I scream and use my mind to make the guard fly back. The gun is thrown out of his hands and caught by Dr. Cowell. He points it at Tom's head and fires.
"Now. Who Is next?" He smiled, letting his white teeth gleam at us.
