Company X

"Tell me about Company X" I demand
"What do you know about the Company?" Perrie questions
"Not much, only that the man wanted to take the boy- I mean Liam to them. I don't even know if he belonged to the Company"
"That's all?" Eleanor raises her brows
"Well it's not like they have a Wikipedia page about them or something" I glance at her. What is her problem with me anyway?
"Ok, do you know why the bloke wanted to take Liam to them?" Harry inquires
"No, I already told you I know nothing" I cross my arms over my chest starting to get annoyed
"Let's start from the beginning then" Niall tells Harry.
"Company X is a Company that looks for people like us" Harry say slowly
"As in freaks" I say looking around me watching them nod their heads
"What do they want with us?" I ask him
"They want to experiment" Harry looksed at me "On our brains"
"How do you know that?" My head is starting to spin from all of the information.
"It's a long story" Ed say from where he was sitting.
"And we'll get to that later" Harry took control of the conversation once again "For now let's center on the importance"
"It's important to me" I look up at him frowning.
"I'm sure it is, and I promise we'll get to that" He says "Did you ever wonder why you're different from the rest?"
"Obviously.. I just always thought that it's an autism of some sort" I sigh
"What kind of autism can make things move?" Liam laughs
"That is why the minute that part started I left" I gave him one of my looks.
"When we found each other we backtracked to see if we have anything in comment other than our abilities" Harry continues
"Even though we are from different places all over Britain Liam found us a match" He smiles
"Which is??" I am getting tired of Harry's pauses. I want to hear what they know about this X Company and get the hell out of here.
"We all had the same doctor when we were born" Liam states showing me a file on his laptop.
I glance at the screen, looking at what was on it.
There are all of our birth certificates. Each and every one. Date of birth, parents names, hospital, doctor and nurse on scene.
"Wow, how did you get all of this?" I look up at him
"I told you I can get anything off the net" Liam smiles proudly
I look through everything once more "so what am I looking for?" I ask scanning the pages.
"Look at the doctor's name on all of them" Eleanor says
"Doctor Cowell" I say looking up at her.
"Yes. Did you also know we were all kept in longer than usual?" Harry asks me
"I was a premature baby, which is why I was kept longer at the hospital" I tell them
"Yeah? Well I was kept longer because of a broken leg but I never did have a break" Niall remarks.
"And I was kept in longer saying I had jaundice" Perrie says
"We were all made to stay longer for some sort of reason" Harry recaps
"So you think this Cowell doctor has something to do with Company X?" I ask them
"We think this Cowell Doctor is Company X" They all say together.
"How do you know that?" I put the laptop back on the coffee table.
"Well we aren't completely sure" Niall was being honest.
"So these are all assumptions then" I smile at them.
"Yes and no" Liam says
"And you also said that you can find and know everything" I tell him.
"Yes well, I know for a fact that Dr. Cowell is part of Company X, but we do have a feeling he is head of the Company"
"Feelings hmm... what a certainty that is" I am mocking them. This whole thing feels like a hoax, as if they are all in on it but me.
"Look Liz, I understand this seems stretched but I can assure you it is all true" Harry snaps his fingers so I'll look back at him.
"Look this was fun, our bonding together and all, but I think I'm going to go" I get up
"Come on Liz you sat through everything, just listen to the end" Niall says pulling at my arm
"You know something? No. I won't. All of this" I point my finger at all of them "is too farfetched, there are too many holes in your story and I quite frankly had enough, so I'm gonna go" I start walking to the door. Then I stop remembering it is a far walk on a bad leg.
"Can I please have a ride home" I look at Niall. Hoping he will be the one to drive me since I didn't really feel like being alone with Harry.
"Ok, I'll take you" Harry got up. "You lot are staying?" He looks at his friends.
"I'm going too, if we want a head start tomorrow" Perrie glances at Ed.
"That is true" They both got up.
"I think we all can call it a day" Liam sighs
We all got up and out the cabin door, splitting up to cars for a ride home. Harry and I were left alone.
"Liz" He starts
"Save it Harry, I had enough for one day"
"If you want, Ed can take your memory from all this. You won't remember and you won't need to deal with it"
"And then what? This company will come after me and I won't have the knowledge to defend myself" I look up at him. He had a pained expression on his face.
"I will" He says
"They will go after us like they went after Mushroom" I turn from him
"Yeah.. about that..." Harry says slowly scratching his head.
"No... no no no.. don't tell me it was you" I am shocked
"We needed a way to get you to trust me" He tries explaining
"By hurting my dog?! Are you mad??" I yell
"He was fine. Niall was with him until you got there" Harry says
"You are unbelievable" I throw my hands up.
"Lizzie" He catches my shoulders so I'll look at him "Look at this photo" He fishes out his phone and shows me a photo of a man with the kind of hair cut that made his hair look like grass. He had white straight teeth that shine through a big smile. I knew that smile.
"I know him! He used to do all these tests on me when I was 5" I tell Harry.
"Yes he was back" He gazes at me "This is Dr. Cowell"
"My mum didn't trust him, she stopped taking me there, and he knows who I am and where I live" I say in alarm
"No he doesn't" Harry smiles. "Thanks to Liam that is"
"How is that?" This is just too much for me to handle. I'm trying to remember everything that was said today, but it was all getting jumbled up.
"This is the reason Liam got on the man's radar, he hacked into servers and got all of our names and addresses mixed up, changed it that your family moved away years ago and blocked them from finding us. So now they are still trying to work through all of the mess Liam caused, and it gives us time to get hold of the names on the list"
"All of this is real then?" I look up at him. It all is starting to sink in. Far from making any sense but I can start to understand.
"It is Liz, I didn't make you go through all of this for nothing" Harry say quietly
"But you still played me, you made me think- you made me think that we-"
"We do! I wasn't playing" He takes my hands in his
"I don't believe you. Not after all you put me through" I shift away from him and pull my hands out of his.
"Liz" He begs
"I want to go home. Please take me home" I say to him nonchalant
"Come on" He sighs defeatedly.
We walk to the motorbike in silence, I was holding on to Harry to make it easier for me to walk. I felt bad acting the way I did as he was helping me now, so I kept reminding myself the way he played me to make me come and hear him out.
We got to the bike and he handed over the helmet.
"Lizzie. I really do apologize for what I've done. I should have come out straight away and told you the truth" His eye sparkle with truth.
"You should have" I say pulling the helmet on.
"Would you have listened then?" He asks
"I don't know but it's called the benefit of the doubt" I say
"I have a problem trusting people.. So I do it my own way or no way" He stands there with hands at his sides. For a moment he looks to me as a lost boy.
I took of the helmet and stepped closer to him.
"Did you get closer to my family so you could find me?" I ask searching for the truth in his eyes.
"Yes but not only for the reasons you think" He holds up his hand to stop me interrupting him.
"I'm listening" I say
"I did look for you at first because I knew you were like me. The first one I've met and I wanted to find you but you were gone. When I found out the nurse taking care of me is your mum I did my best. Then Niall, Ed and Liam found me and when our theory grew I knew I had to find you and make sure I keep your mum and sister safe at the same time" He stops for a moment making sure I am still willing to listen. "I grew to love you mum and sister as my own, Nat reminds me so of Amy" He gives me his heartbreaking half smile, popping his dimple "I didn't lie to you when I said I felt we have something"
"I believe you" I look up at his green eyes.
"Does that mean you will give me another chance and let me take you out tomorrow?"
"Don't push it Styles, first take me home and we'll see" I flip my hair as I put the helmet back on. Harry flashed a full dimpled smile before pulling his helmet over his head, picking up one leg to fling over the bike and sit his cute little bum on the seat.
I get on the bike behind Harry. This time he reaches in back of him finding my hands, taking them in his and bringing them to his chest wrapping them around him. His touch is warm and lingering before he let's go and starts up the engine.
I can't help but think to myself how it would feel being Harry's. Him taking care of me, constantly being by my side. Being able to stare at that face of his forever. We reach my home and Harry stops so I could get off.
"So?" He asks taking off the helmet so I'll be able to see his face.
"So?" I hand over the one I used.
"Do you forgive me?" He had his half smile plastered on his face making my heart flutter.
"I don't know Harry. .." I sigh.
"You want to" he doesn't ask but states.
"It’s not a question of if I want to, but if I trust you" I gaze at him
"Come on Lizzie.. I promise you won't regret it"
"Fine.. Pick me up at 19:00" I say and turn to walk up the walkway of the front garden and to the door of my home. I heard Harry drive away and smiled to myself. This was not the sort of thing I would normally do. I would never break down so easily. But I'm drawn to him, and I have a strong feeling this boy will be the death of me.
"Liz?? You're back!" Natalie comes running down when she hears the door close
"As if you didn't know. .. you've been talking to Harry" I accuse her.
"You know very well that was a must. You need his help" she folds her arms
"How much did he share with you?" I demand to know.
"Enough to know that you letting Harry help is for your own good" she sounds like my mum.
"Usually when someone tells you it's for your own good it's not" I frown at her
"Well I did what I thought was best" she gives me a hard look.
"Ok" I let out a long sigh "Well I hope he knows what he's doing.. and from now on you stay out of it" I point at her
"As long as you're staying" she smiles.
"Yeah yeah... I hear you, what are you doing up so late?" I walk up the stairs.
"Waiting for you!! So I was thinking we can go shopping tomorrow since you will need new clothes" she begins.
"Clothes? I have clothes" I entere my room flicking on the light with my mind.
"Not ones you can be seen with on a date with Harry"
"You need to stop talking to Styles about me" I tell her off
"Why? It's fun. Besides what else do I have to talk to him about?"
"He should help you get Tim to go out with you" I wiggle my eye brows at her
"Come onnn Liz he will never ask me out" she whines
"So you admit it then?" I clap my hands
"You already knew that reading mind" she waves me off
"Well yeah but I try acting normal, not showing I know everything already" I make an innocent face.
"Don’t play this game with me" She rolls her eyes, sitting herself on my bed.
"You are getting better though hiding thoughts from me" I say "Where you in on the fact that Harry and his friends were the ones that put Mushroom up on the tree?" I ask her
"Are you winding me up?" She is gobsmacked.
"No.. They did.." I tell her
"What a bunch of sods!!" She exclaims
"Language me dear.. And you wanted so much for me to get help from them"
"I can't believe this" she is cupping her face in her hands "wait till I see him"
I laugh at that and went for my shower.
"How can you laugh?" She follows me
"I was narked about it already, I let it go for now" I shrug. No point on letting her in on all that happen today, the less she knows the better.
"Well you became easy" She murmurs to herself.
"I heard that" I say as I closed the door.

I am brushing my hair looking at my reflection. What a day. I run through it all in the shower. So the ginger bloke- Ed his name was can compel people's memories. And Eleanor has a sixth sense. I bet they knew all along about my mind reading. That is probably the reason I heard her thinking about Harry at the coffee shop those few days ago. It was planed, she should think about something else so I won't read her. And Perrie. Who would have ever thought that she and I would have anything in common? I had so many questions swimming in my head, waiting for tomorrow, making sure Harry answers all of them.
I felt drained, emotionally and physically, wanting nothing more than to crawl into bed and go to sleep.
I brush my teeth and get under the covers.
I wonder what it could have been like if I knew about Harry and his friends when I was younger. Would I still be the schools freak? Or would they have been my group of friends?
I felt sleep creeping up, taking me under. I had a dreamless sleep, one that I was startled awake from with a hand clasped across my mouth to muffle my scream of shock.
