I Liked It Better Before chapter one
Louis Tomlinson: Becomes Heather's close friend. Helps her when she needs it.
Nakayla's POV
"Party's over everybody out!", a tall police man yelled over the load music and yells of everyone else in the room.
"Well, that was fun.", Nikki said as we walked out of the party. I shook my head.
"No, that was not fun! We all could've went to jail! We got pretty lucky.", Nikki stopped walking and looked at me.
"You don't know how to have fun. That's whats wrong with you. Your a goody-goody.", she laughed. I crossed my arms.
"Call me a goody-goody all you want but if I acted like most people who were here tonight I probably would be in jail right now.", she rolled her eyes.
"Okay, whatever. Samantha's parents are out of town and she wants to have a slumber party. She asked me not to invite you, but your my best friend so I had to. Do ya want to come?", I shook my head.
"We have that big test tomorrow at school.", she smiled.
"Write the answers on your arm. Duh!", I shook my head once again.
"You go. she didn't want me there anyway. Have fun.", she hugged me.
"Be careful on your way home.", I nodded.
"I will. Bye.", I said.
"Bye, Hun.", she let go of me and ran down the street to Samantha's house. I didn't really want to go home. I know that as soon as I walk through the door my moms boyfriend will start yelling at me for coming home so late. He yells at me for everything. I stopped on the street when I seen my house. If it weren't for the fact that I have a test tomorrow that I have to past to go to the ninth grade I would've turned back and went to Samantha's party not caring that she didn't want me there. I took a long deep breath and may my way up the steps. I could already hear mom's boyfriend yelling at my younger brother, Alex. I slowly turned the doorknob and walked in. As soon as I did the yelling paused for a moment.
"Where in the hell have you been?", he asked.
"I told you, I went to a party kids from school were having. It's no big deal.", I tried pushing past him to walk upstairs, but he stopped me. I motioned Alex to go upstairs to my room. My room is where he spends most of his time because he's to afraid to be alone. They don't abuse us. They know if they do, Alex would go to the school and tell then they would go to jail. The most they do is threaten. Which is bad enough to frighten Alex.
"Well, we were worried about you. Get your fat, lazy, punk ass to bed!", I ran up steps after he says this. If only he knew how bad these little words hurt me..
**
I get to my room to find Alex crying on the floor.
"Heather?", Alex asked looking up at me. This made me want to cry, seeing to sad in his eyes.
"Yeah?", I asked trying to sound as if everything was alright.
"Promise me you will never leave.", I started to cry. I wiped away the tears away fast hoping he won't see me cry.
"I promise I will never leave. Ever.", he smiled at me.
"Thank you Heather.", I hugged him.
**
I waited for Alex to fall asleep before taking him to his room. I picked him up and carried him to his room hoping he won't wake up. I sat him down on his bed and covered him up. He didn't wake up luckily for me. Now I have got to study for my test tomorrow.
**
I wake up surrounded by papers and text books. I must have fallen asleep while studying. I sit up and look at the time. 7:32! I have less than thirty minutes to get to school! I throw on a pair of jeans I fond on the floor. I brush off the t-shirt I'm wearing and slide my shoes. I quickly throw all my things into my backpack. I ran to the door I need to hurry and get Alex up he has his big test as well. All the schools do. It didn't take me very long to realize that moms boyfriend has locked me in here. I bet he had no reason to do it. He probably just randomly locked me in here. I didn't know what to be I'm on the third story. We have no way out excepted the locked door. I am not jumping out the window. I would try to pick the lock like a normal person but they fixed the locks where you can only unlock them from one side. So I screamed.
"Alex! Open the door.", I banged on the door and yelled over and over again until I woke him up.
"Alex! Wake up!", I glance over at the clock seeing I only have five minutes and I'll never make it on time unless I have magical powers. Which I don't. I finally heard Alex on the other side of the door.
"Alex open the door.", I heard him lean against the door.
"Alex! Goddamn open the door!" I threw myself at the door a few times.
"Honey, your never gonna get out.", I froze. This isn't my brothers voice. In fact I'm not sure who's voice this is. I lean against the door thinking.
"Who are you?", I ask trying to sound calm.
"Harry.", I don't think I know anyone name Harry. Maybe he's one of my dad's friends.
"What do you want?", my voice was shaky. There no hiding it.
"I want you to come across the country with us.", he replied.
"Why? Whose we?",
"Zayn and I.", I locked the door from my side as well.
"Are you going to hurt me?", I ask this is one thing I'm worried about as well as Alex. Alex!
"Where's Alex?", he laughed. "Where's my brother?", I scream throwing myself against the door.
"He's.. Gone.", they killed him. They killed my brother. After I promised him I will never leave. I told him I would never let anything happen to him. When they took where was I? I wasn't there to save him. He was probably screaming my name asking me, begging me to help him. He probably stopped screaming when he realized I wasn't going to help him.
"Why did you kill him?", I scream.
"Because if I didn't he would be in our way.", by this time I was in tears. Sobbing.
"What about the rest of my family?", I ask between sobs.
"We killed them too.", he said this completely calm as if he kills people on a regular basis.
"Why'd you kill them?", Harry took a long breath, leaning against the door. Then he replied.
"They treated you bad anyway. Didn't they?", how did he know.
"Kinda. They were mean and angry at us most of the time, but every once in awhile we would all have a good day together.", I've calmed down a little bit by now, but I still can't get over the fact that he killed them. All of them.
"Stop lying. I've seen the things they've done to you.",
"How do you know all this?",
"You ask a lot of questions don't you? How about I get you out of here and we talk on our journey?", I wasn't sure about this. I know he's going to kill me as well.
"Okay..", I unlocked the door and took a few steps away. He slowly unlocked each lock and came in. If he didn't kill my family I would totally fall for him. He's beautiful. His dark curly hair and perfect bright green eyes are amazing and..
I felt a pain in my back breaking me out of my girly dream. Once I realized what was going on I began to scream. He tied my hands behind my back and knocked me to the ground.
"Zayn come on!", he yelled and not long after another guy walked in with a bag. Like in movies when they knock someone out and put them in a bag to take them somewhere to KILL THEM! I was kicking trying to keep them from tying my feet together.
"Stop moving!", Zayn yelled. After that everything went black.
**
I ran down a dark street running from Zayn and Harry. I'm not sure where I am. I've never seen this place before. All I know is that I need to find a safe place. And fast!
"Come back, you stupid bitch!", Harry yelled from be hide me, but I didn't stop. I won't stop until I'm safe. Where nobody can find me. I didn't stop running but I looked be hide me trying to see how close they are. Harry isn't very close. As soon as I turned around I ran into somebody and they held me they wouldn't let go.
"Let go! He's going to kill me.",
"We won't kill you yet.", the person holding me whispered in my ear. It was Zayn. I began to scream.
"Shh.. It's okay be quiet!", I opened my eyes and realized it was a dream. I felt relived until I looked over and saw Zayn holding me. I was getting ready to scream but he covered my mouth.
"It's okay I won't hurt you, but Harry will.", I didn't believe him.
"Are you hungry?", I am hungry but I don't think I can eat. I'm to depressed. They killed my family. They keep lying to me.
"No.", I tried to be rude but my voice is only a whisper. Zayn nodded. I look around the room seeing a mess of women's clothes on the floor. I'm not the only one they've taken. They've killed so many people, haven't they. I screamed to the top of my lungs. Zayn rushed over to me smacking me a cross the face. I screamed again holding my face I stopped screaming and began to cry.
"I'm so sorry!", he whisper yelled. I know he's not sorry.
"I just didn't want you waking up Harry.", I kept crying. There was a loud bang in one of the other rooms. Zayn rushed out into the hallway.
"What the fuck is the bitch screaming about?",
"Uh.. I smacked her.", I hear Harry enter the room I look at him.
"Your gonna have to get use to this! Stupid bitch!",
"Your the bitch.", whisper under my breath, but it was loud enough for Harry to hear. Zayn walks out of the room out of sight. Harry pulls me off the bed.
"What did you just call me?", I didn't say anything. I'm to scared too.
"That's what I thought. You know you woke me up early in the morning so letter you will be punished but for now you will sit in here and find something to do. I have other shit to worry about others than your fat ass.", Harry threw me to the ground and walked out of the room locking the door. What does he mean by punish? What does he mean by other things to worry about? Other girls he's kidnapped? I began to cry again. I just want to go home but nobody's there. Everybody I love.. Gone. Dead. I will never see them again.
