Breathe

Nina’s P.O.V

They say that the human body can only go through so much pain until it shuts down, if that’s true I should have been dead 12 hours ago. I wake up and find my self-gasping for air, and every breath I take it hurts more and more.

“Wyatt” I whimper, without opening my eyes.

“Nina” I hear movement before Wyatt pulls my head into his chest.

“I-“ I start to talk and then I realize there’s nothing to say

“We’re going to be okay, just like you said” His voice cracks and I feel a tear hit my forehead. I quiver and my eyes water up, I sob, dry heaves kicking in. I open my eyes and look down at my hands; they’re stained with blood and dirt. I feel my stomach turn and I look up at Wyatt,

“I’m going to be sick” I double over and even though the pain is excruciating, I vomit in the back of the van.

I fall over on the floor and continue to cry. Wyatt just stares at me, wanting to say something but knows that there isn’t anything he can say to make me feel better. I just want to go home, but wait, I don’t even have a real home, New York was my home and then London was my home, now I don’t have either and I’m stuck in the back of a van, kidnapped by people who are going to kill us.

-
After what seemed to be forever the van halts, my body rocks foreword.

Wyatt grabs my hand and holds on to it so tight I think it might fall off, I don’t notice it though.

The door swings open and the bright sun makes me clench my eyes shut, when I open them I realize we’re at a beach, on a dock.

Edward grabs me by my collar and thrusts me foreword harshly, I yell out at all the pain that re appears all over my body.

I notice there are four other men waiting, all just as scary as the next, I swallow and look down at my feet. Three men tend to Wyatt, he’s lucky he’s so tall and big; his body can withstand so much more than my 5’3 110 pound body can. The remaining men grab hold of me and pull me across the sandy dock, I resist at first but if I continue to resist they’re just going to beat me. Dominic walks up to me and places a brown bag over my head I start to panic.

I can tell we’re entering a boat; if I look down I can see through the opening in the bag. I brace myself as I see we’re going down stairs.

“Get in there you stupid bitch” A man throws me into a room, I hit the hard floor and my leg makes an unnatural sound, I open my mouth to scream but nothing comes out. I shimmy my way out of the bag and see we’re in the very bottom of the boat, water traces along the ground and goes up about an inch, my clothes are becoming very wet and my body is quickly becoming cold.

I turn and see Wyatt is thrown in directly on top of me like a 220-pound dead weight, this time; I scream.

“Nina I’m so sorry” He quickly moves and his bag falls off, His hand touches the top of my shoulder which is newly bleeding from being hit against some object behind me. My arm has gone limp and I can’t feel my leg.

“I’m dying” tears run down my face, the realization hits me and it’s taken over.

“No, you’re not, you’re strong Nina” He grabs my face gently with his two hands

“You aren’t dying, and I’m not dying either, we’re going to live, you’re going to marry Harry and have children and live happily you aren’t dying, I wont allow it” He’s assertive it almost makes me believe him. I feel the urge to cough and when I do, large amounts of blood make their way up my air way, it tastes weird against my lips, Wyatt quickly wipes away a drop that’s making its way down my chin.

He sits beside me, I angle my head on his shoulder and try to relax, try to think of something happy but the only happy thing in my life right now is Harry and thinking about him makes me sadder.

It’s a few hours I suppose, I can see the sun going down from the small port window, the heavy metal door swings open and Dominic, Edward plus two other unknown men walk in. One of which is tall, rounder and wearing the tackiest jewelry and suit I’ve ever seen. His hair is jet black and he looks to be in his late 40’s

I tense up,

“Nina, Wyatt, this is Antonio Belasco, head of the Lanzo Mafia and the person individual who killed your parents, right where you’re sitting” Dominic speaks proudly like the inhumane sack of lying shit he is.

Anger runs through me, this man sits here and smiles down at us like we’re his newest bait. I want to jump up and clock him nicely in the jaw but unfortunately my body doesn’t even allow me to move my arm. I can tell Wyatt feels the same way; his body is hard and ready to pounce.

Antonio talks loudly “You’re father owes me money, and since he’s not here, I’m pleased to inform you, that you’re going to have to pay his debt” He bends quickly and picks me up, I shout in resistance.

“Feisty one she is” He pins me against the wall and takes out something from his pocket; I look down and notice the switchblade.

“You’re awfully pretty, just like your mom, I had my way with her once or twice”

He disgusts me, I spit square in his face right between the eyes, and I see Wyatt behind him ready for anything. But even I know we’re the odds around here four against two dying people.

“You little bitch”

I feel the switchblade slice through my skin and push into my side by my ribs. I scream and struggle the pain is unbearable.

“Let’s not kill the girl, just yet, we still need the signatures” Dominic intervenes and I’m almost thankful.

“Get off of her” Wyatt snarls, Antonio drops me and I fall to the wet floor, I curl up into a ball and clench my open wound, blood makes trails all around my body and this is when I know, I’m with out a doubt 100% dying.

Without medical attention I’ll bleed out, no doubt he probably punctured a lung.

“So Nina are you ready to sign” Antonio waves the paper in my face, my visions going blurry again and my stomach aches from pain and the lack of eating, I haven’t ate in 48 hours or drank water.

“Go to hell” I whisper

He laughs and moves to Wyatt, I sit up slowly just when they’re dragging him out of the room.

“No!” I scream

“No bring him back!” I scream louder crawling to the door, it shuts before I make it.

Harry’s P.O.V

I sit backstage and count the hours since I’ve last talked to Nina, it’s been three days, no phone call, no text, no nothing…

“Nothing yet mate?” Louis sits down beside me

“No nothing, I’m starting to worry,” I mumble

He remains quiet

“I don’t know what I should do” I add, rambling on.

“Maybe you should go to her” He suggests, the thought has been in my mind quite a bit but I feel like going to see her might be too drastic.

“I’ll see how it goes, if I don’t hear from her by tomorrow I’ll go to her”

He nods, as if accepting my decision but not really liking it. I don’t blame him, I’d have to up and leave and missing a concert or two.

“Don’t tell the other’s yet, I’ll think about it”

“We all want you to do what’s best for you, Nina makes you a better person Haz, and if you don’t feel like she’s okay, if you feel like something’s wrong then go to her”

“It’s just I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I knew in these three days that something has gone horribly wrong and she’s not safe”

“You’ll kill yourself worrying about it, we can reschedule a few concerts if we need” He pats my back

Zayn, Liam and Niall walk in the room

“We’re going to the gym, wanna come?” Liam asks cheerfully

“Harry you look destroyed what’s the matter?” Zayn inquires; I close my eyes briefly and run my hand through my hair.

“I haven’t heard from Nina in 3 days” I look at my feet and try to ignore the feeling in my stomach.

“None of us have heard from her either, Tia called Wyatt’s family and his wife hasn’t heard from him in three days as well” Niall clasps his hands together behind his back. My eyes pop open and the feeling intensifies by 1000, if something’s wrong, if something’s happened I need to know.

“Now that’s weird” Louis looks towards me

I stand and rub my arm “I think I’m going to pass out”

“Just relax, they could just be busy” Liam tries to reason

“No they’re not busy” Tia walks through the door way

“My dad has been missing for three days, my mom said he had a business trip to go to in California, Sacramento California, in the same area Wyatt and Nina are, he hasn’t called or texted and I feel like it’s all connected”

“How could it be connected your dad doesn’t talk to Nina” I place my fingers on my temples

“He was really suspicious about what flight Nina was on and when she was landing three days ago when he called” She shrugs

“Did you tell him?” Louis looks at her with a dirty smirk

“No I didn’t”

“Let’s not get too crazy here, what motives would your dad have to do something bad to Nina” Liam intervenes

I point to him “He makes a fair statement”

“I don’t know, but all I know is it’s weird how all three of them have been missing for three days, no contact what so ever” She continues on

“Yeah and Wyatt has two small children, he wouldn’t go three days without a phone call” Zayn’s eyes search around the room as he talks

“So what’s the plan?” Niall asks me

“I really want to go, but we just cant leave”

“I’m sure Simon will understand” Louis says

“We can’t all go” Tia folds her arms “Harry and I will go”

“I want to come with you babe” Niall wraps his arm around her waist

“We should all go” Zayn steps up

“Okay, we’ll figure this out later, this is too much” My head hurts and I just want to know if Nina is safe, I’d do anything to find that out.

“Maybe we should file a missing persons report” Perrie, who’s been spectating from the doorway pipes up

“That’s a great idea!” Tia screams

“But what if she’s okay, she’ll think we’re crazy” Louis laughs

“Haz?” Zayn looks over

“I don’t know, I don’t like the idea of filing a missing persons report on my girlfriend and her brother” I take a deep breath “But anything that will help I guess”

Fear fills my stomach, I just want Nina, and I want her back here in my arms. I should have never let her leave; I knew something was going to happen. I can’t sleep at night; I’m not use to sleeping alone. I need to know that she’s okay, I need her to be okay because I wont be if she’s not. She’s my strength, my happiness, everything is right when she’s around. I can’t live without her.

“I’m going to her, tomorrow” I announce and their faces aren’t surprised.
