Pandemonium

Shay

We arrive at a station and I turn in. There are stores there too, so we decide to split up. Harry and Ashton stayed to fill the tanks with petrol, while Niall and Luke went to find food at the market store. In the meantime Danielle and I rushed to the clothes store to get us all some change of garments.
"I never thought I would get to pick whatever I want from a clothes store," Danielle cheered as we walked through the racks.
"Me neither, though I wish it could have been in better circumstances," I said as I picked up some jeans.
"Well yeah… Hey Shay? I'm really happy we are together, I can't imagine going through all this alone," She spoke.
"Of course, though you are not alone! Don't forget you have Ash," I point out, they were still cross with each other over the driving incident.
"He gets angry with me over the stupidest things," She picks out a shirt, and holds it up against her.
"Well, so does Harry, that is how siblings are, that is how you know they care,"
I touch her shoulder and move to where the men's clothes were, so I could pick a few things for the boys.
I know Ashton's and Harry's sizes, but I could only guess Luke's and Niall's.
It was a fun ride. Niall is quite funny, cracking jokes and singing along to songs he did not know the words to.
I kind of like him, in the sense of other then the fact he saved my life, I enjoy his company kind of way.
I remembered that girl who stopped us as we were leaving that house. She knew Niall, and tried to seduce him to stay, however he chose to continue with a bunch of people he doesn't know. As I looked through the folded clothes I wondered why.
"Shay," A voice I will never forget touched my shoulder, making my heart pound and my body go cold.



Dani

I hear a crash and then Shay talking. She sounded scared.
"Get away from me! Don't touch me! Get away!"
"Shay? Shay! What's wrong?" I call out.
"This is not what you're thinking! I'm sorry I startled you," I hear a boy's voice. It is soft, which confuses me to why she would be scared from such a bloke.
"Shay!" I call again, when I finally find her.
She is holding a hanger as if she was defending herself. In front of her, a boy with brown hair is holding up his hands in surrender.
"What is going on?" I ask, stepping in by Shay's side.
"Get Away," Shay hisses to the boy, oblivious to me joining them.
"I know you must hate me, but I didn't do anything bad to you, I treated you well," He says, staring at her calmly, though I can see the way his jaw is clenched, he wasn't calm at all.
"Shay," I touch her shoulder lightly.
"DON'T TOUCH ME! GET AWAY! HELP ME! DON'T TOUCH ME!" She was screaming over and over again, tears running down her face, sobs escaping her parted lips as she breathed in.
"Shay it's me! Calm down, what is wrong? Who is this bloke?" I try and calm her down.
"The house! You let us go! How? You let us!" She sounded crazy.
"Harry! Niall! Ash! Someone help!" I scream. The boy's eyes went wide, as he looked over his shoulder, and I couldn't help but notice how blue they were. His hands were down now, and for some reason he didn't try to leave.
"I'm sorry!" He whispered over and over again, and he did look like he truly was.
"Shay? Dani?!" I hear Harry and Ash call as they ran into the store.
"Don't let him touch me! Don't let him touch me," Shay sobbed over and over again. When Harry reached her and grabbed her arm she pulled free shivering. I was confused and scared not knowing what the hell triggered such behavior.

"You!" Harry stands in front of the boy. I have never seen him so angry in my life.
"I am not looking for trouble!" The boy holds up his hands again, taking a step back.
"You did! The minute you took my sister to that house," Harry fumed at him. Everything started to make sense. The house. This boy must have been one of the guys who took Shay.
"We heard screaming," Niall and Luke came rushing in.
"What are you doing here?" Niall questions the boy one he notices him.
"Not following you, if that's what you're thinking," The boy answers.
"Shay?" Niall steps towards her. Shay turns her head to him, and it was like magic. The sobs stop as she looks up at his face. I watch as Harry glances from Shay to Niall, his lips squeezed together.
"So, would you care to explain what you're doing here?" Niall turns back to the boy, after checking Shay, and making sure she was unharmed.
"And you can start by stating your name,"
"My name is Louis," The boy replies, letting once again his hands fall to his sides.



Louis

It was strange being on the defense side, trying to explain how come out of all the people in the world I stumble upon them.
They were all staring up at me waiting for an answer, but all I could do is stare at Shay, her red eyes still leaking tears onto her cheeks, however she was now silent, standing behind her brother, her hand griping his, and the only thing I could think about was Loki, and how she was counting on me to get to her.
"My car ran out of petrol a while back and I've been walking looking for a different car that will get me to my sister," I inform Niall. After they left the party house, the room was buzzing about him. The girls were in love with him, and it seemed that the boys wanted to be him, and everyone was scared shit of crossing him, saying it was a miracle he hadn't punched my face right off my head.
"What a coincidence us being here at just the same time," the other blonde smirked sarcastically.
"This sounds like such bullshit," Harry said angrily.
"Where is your sister?" The girl next to Shay asked.
"Paris," I reply simply.
I know my case wasn't strong, being I am looking to find her so many days after this craziness started, but it was the truth.
Loki was in Paris with my mum for her 13th birthday, and at first I tried to get through to her calling and calling, but after a few days I started giving up. I had checked my phone for a word from her though nothing came.
Two days ago she finally did, saying she is at the hotel with some other kids, and asked for me to come for her.
"How old is she?"
I glance up and find the question came from Shay. She wiped away her tears and was watching me carefully waiting for an answer.
"She is just 13, and she is by herself,"
"We can't help you," Harry states refusing to find a place in his heart to forgive me.
"Yes we can,"
Once again I am surprised it was Shay who spoke.
All heads turned to look at her, waiting for an explanation to as why she is so whiling to help me, her abductor.
"She is only 13," She says, such compaction in her voice, however I wasn't sure if that was enough to persuade her brother and friends.



Niall

I am watching Shay carefully. I had a hard time believing she wanted to help this bloke out.
He was the reason for her trauma, however, he is the reason we met too.
"No way!" Harry fumes.
"Shay, it is up to you," I speak up inching towards her. It should be her decision, and hers only.
"You ride in the other care," She tells him, then picks up the things she dropped and turned her back, walking away.
"You stay the hell away from her! You hear me?" Harry brings his face so close to this kid, I was sure he was going to bump his forehead.
I walk away and after Shay, noting that no one else had.
"Shay," I knock softly on one of the dressing cells she was hiding in.
She pushed open the door, and I step in. It was a small space, with not enough room for two people, but we made it work.
"Why are you willing to help him?" I inquire
"Two reasons. First, he helped take me, but it wasn't his fault, he tried to be kind, when Mike hurt my wrists he made him stop, and second, his sister is only 13.. I am putting myself in her shoes… If I was alone, I would be terrified and I'd do anything for Harry to come and get me, and I am older.. Think how scared she must be,"
I look down at her. She is sitting on a small stool in the cell, looking at her hands rather then up at me. I bend down, which was quite hard in such a small space, but I had to see her eyes, I had to make sure this is really what she wants.
"I can forgive, I can… But I won't forget," She whispers looking up at me.
She is so delicate and yet so strong. She fascinates me. I reach out to tuck a lock of her hair, but before my fingers come in contact I stop, remembering how she pulls away, refusing to be touched.
I look at her face, her lips, her eyes. She nods her head slightly and moves towards me, giving me the ok. I let my fingers run down the piece of hair, and tuck it behind her ear.
Then, with a burst of bravery I touch my palms to her knees leaving them there as I stare at her.
"If you can forgive him, then so will I,"



Harry

"I am driving Shay, he can ride with you," I say to Luke, tilting my head at Louis's direction, ignoring the fact he is right there and listening. I note him pressing his lips together, as if holding his annoyance in check. Well he better.. if he wants us to help him cross the border.
Shay and Niall walk back, and I could have sworn she just pulled her hand out of his grip before shoving it in her pocket.
"Danielle and I will ride with you," Ash informed me, and I was more than happy with this arrangement.
We collect the things Shay managed to pick up, and help Niall and Luke with the bags of foods to the cars.
Niall said he will be following us, which was also fine with me.
I watched as Shay climbed into the passenger seat, and brought her knees to her chest, resting her chin on top.
"She will be alright," Niall said, standing next to me with folded arms.
"You like her," I am not asking him, but stating.
"I do," He conforms
"If you hurt her.." I start.
"I know… I will let you smack my face off," He smiles. He taps my back and then walks to his care.
Louis got into the back seat, as Luke climbed into the front.
Ashton and Danielle were already in, waiting for me to lead the way to the border. We were almost there, through getting to the border never seemed as such a waste of time like at this moment.
