Don't Forget Where You Belong

Is it normal to not be able to feel the tips of your toes or fingers? I cant even feel my cheeks at this point, and when I do, they are tingly. Like my lips are tingly right now.

I dont actually care! I feel like a million bucks! Like anything bad in the world can wait for tomorrow. Like when I smile, everyone knows Im queen and bows down. Thats how awesome I feel and I dont want that to go away.

Charlotte and I are getting hit on. A man tries to dance with both of us like most have been all night. This one is particularly creepy and Char wards him off of her and then protects me. I feel so comfortable and safe with her here. She will always take care of me.

I can let loose.

I notice that Char has let a little too loose tho. She is slurring her words and falling a bit... I notice this as I trip over some dudes foot.

"Sorry" I mumble, probably too quiet for this loud club.

I really wish Niall was here. Maybe I can call Chase? I know he'll come. He's been wanting to hang with me all week.

No Ry. I cant. Hanging out with him will not solve my loneliness issue. Hanging out with him is what got me into this mess with Foster.

Alcohol apparently makes me wiser too


Oh look something shiny.

I go to the bathroom after staring at the disco ball for about 10 minutes. I probably looked like an idiot. But now I really have to pee. Thats a downside to drinking I've found. I always have to pee. Lame.

Im in the stall doing my business when some girls walk in. I recognize the voices to be Perries bandmates

"This is such a great night" one says

"Yeah, I like it. I was hoping the guys would be here too. I wanted to make out with Niall again"

Da phuq?

"I know, you two were so cute last time. I think he really fancies you"

"I think he does too. I want to get that boy into my bed"

NO

"You will eventually. Niall cant seem to resist you. I wish Harry was here. I need to get that boy in my bed!"

They both cackle and Im sick to my stomach all of a sudden.

I need another drink and to stop thinking about Niall. Apparently he really doesnt want to be with me.

I have a feeling that the alcohol will help me forget



Niall's P.O.V.

All the lads are having a great time. Im trying, but ever since earlier, when I shared just a few texts with Riley, I cant stop thinking about her.


I really liked the outfit she had on. That picture that Char sent me was amazing. I just wish Riley actually wanted to talk to me. I keep thinking I did something wrong. I want to rewind and fix whatever it is.

We get to the Nightclub XS and I am not impressed. Its just like every other club we go to. I order a drink and just relax. I really wish I had my phone.

"Dont look so down" Liam says sitting next to me

"Sorry bro, I need to forget about someone, and Im having a hard time doing it." I say taking a swig. Its amazing the way it burns. I love this feeling.

"Ha maybe the strippers will ease your mind." He says throwing his arm around my shoulders.

"I knew you blokes would order strippers! Zayn and Harry are gonna shit" I say laughing

"But we will have a blast watching it happen!" Liam laughs

"They are about here" Louis says.

We talk and I enjoy the company of my friends. Maybe the strippers will make me forget. I would love that.

A few minutes later Louis announces the arrival of the strippers and I relax back in my seat. Let the good times roll.

I laugh a little when Harry walks out of the room. I dont want to be as whipped as him. Thats just dumb.

A cute blond walks in, and I do a double take...

I thought it was Riley

But it wasnt.


Rileys P.O.V.

We get to the last club and I think Im drunk. Everything seems to either be moving in slow motion or fast forward. I cant decide. I still feel like someone punched me in the heart. Niall doesnt like me like that. That girl is so much prettier than I am, and she was expecting to see him. Maybe I was just a New Years kiss because no one else was there. I start to tear up.

I cant even enjoy the little game that they wanted us to play because I keep thinking of Niall. I dont want my poor attitude to get in the way so a little later on I separate myself from the group.

I know that leaving is a bad idea so I just find a seat and let my head rest on the table.

"Looks like someone is a little tuckered out?" A voice says sitting next to me

The voice is creepy, and the man smells weird. Kinda like smoke and garlic? I dont know. All I do know is I dont want him near me.

"Just tired. I dont want to be rude. But I just want to be alone" I tell him with a little shrug

"Well, I dont mean to be rude but you're coming with me. Wether you like it or not princess" He says. I look up at him swiftly. I see into his eyes for the first time and they send cold shivers down my spine. He's looking at me, with anger, but he's smiling. I cower and want to run from the fear that I feel from his stare.

"Im not going anywhere with you" I let out in a shaky breath.

"Again, thats not an option" he says leaning forward.

He looks over my shoulder and nods. I dont have time to turn around. All I know is I need to run. As I try to stand up and hand covers my mouth and Im being drug backwards into a hall.

I struggle to get free. I kick the person behind me but it doesnt phase him

"Get her to the van" the evil man commands

I start to cry

"Yes sir."

"Hold still little girl, or this is going to be much worse" The man holding me says

I dont listen. I wriggel even harder. Then I bite his hand

"OW! SHE BIT ME!" He screams letting go a little

I take that as my chance to run. I struggle free and sprint a head back to the club. I dont get too far tho. Another hand grabs my wrist and pulls me back

"What did I tell you princess?" Evil man asks looking at me as he covers my nose and mouth with a white cloth.

It really stinks and I struggle against him.

"Shhh, just breath doll face" He grimaces

I start to fee dizzy. My arms are too heavy to move

I need Char. Where is she?

I want to go home. I need out of here.

Everything is slowing down and I am really tired.

Blue eyes and blonde hair and wide smile are all I see before Im surrounded in darkness.



Niall's P.O.V.

This stripper does nothing for me

They came in all dressed in slutty outfits. I had pointed to the blonde one that looked like Riley to come to me. She smiled seductively. Not innocent like Ry. She pushed her breasts up. Definitely not modest like Ry. She spun on her heels and bent over. Not clumsy like Ry

Damnit why is she invading my thoughts?

I let the girl do what she does best, but I didnt enjoy it like I would have before I met Riley. Ever since her, no other girl has peaked my interest. Sure there are pretty girls out there, but I am constantly comparing them to her.

I have been trying so hard to get her out of my mind, but obviously something in my soul wont let her go.

The strippers leave and the rest of the party continues. I see Harry re-enter the room and plop down on a seat. He picks up a glass and nurses it.

He really cares for Charlotte. Im so happy for him. I think that he dove head first and, thats just not me... but Riley makes me want to dive. I feel all romantic and crap. I see Harry's face as he's watching a TMZ report.

I hate the paps. and all the shit they put us through so I almost turn my head in disgust. But I notice a picture that was taken. Its of Charlotte giving a guy a lap dance. She looks to be hating it. Probably a dumb bachelorette party game that girls do. I see that Harry doesnt realize that. I look back up and scan the girls in the picture that are smiling at Char. Some are laughing, some are drinking. And one is just standing there. She is just looking on and not really showing any emotion...

Thats when I see it... I see him. The man I'd hope I'd never see again. He's standing close behind Riley, and looking right at her.

My stomach turns. No one knows about this guys. She wouldnt know to run, run as fast as possible from him. SHIT!

I need to get to New York and make sure she's ok.

If Roger is there, there is a reason.

Harry and I look at each other and we both know its time to go. Im not gonna say anything yet. This has been my darkest secret, and I dont want to raise unnecessary alarm. I'll make Harry think Im going to be a supportive friend, but I need to go make sure Riley is ok and see what the HELL Roger is doing in New York and next to my girl.


We dont even stop at the hotel to get our things. We just get to the air port and hop on the private jet. Thank God we have this. I would be going bonkers if we were in air port lines right now.

God I hope she is ok


Riley's P.O.V.

Im so cold. My body is shivering and Im not sure if its from fear or being freezing.

"We need to call that bitch Charlotte and let her know we have this little thing" I hear evil man speak

"ok boss. I got her number like you asked" The other guy says

I keep my eyes closed, but listen intently.

I hear him call her, I can hear just how scared Charlotte is. She is screaming into the phone. Just then the man slaps me and I scream in pain

"DONT YOU FUCKING TOUCH HER!" I hear from the other line. My eyes open and I see that Im in a basement. My hands are bound together by zip ties. I crouch on the cold ground and start to cry

My cheek where he hit is throbbing.

Evil man hangs up the phone and laughs

"That's sure to get to to call little Niall Horan and tell him I have his girl" He wickedly grins at his man

My head shoots up

"What do you want with Niall?" I squeek

"NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS!" He says kicking me in my ribs. God that hurt.

"Want me to teach her a lesson boss?" his man asks looking at me. I see him for the first time and nearly let out a scream. He has a scar over his right eye and the other side of his face looks like its been burnt off

"All in do time Brian" Evil man laughs "Right now we wait. In a little while. If I know Niall, he's going to try to save her. Thats when we get him."

Niall woulnt save me? Why would he want to? Im nothing to him

I dont dare tell these guys. Brian looks at me like Im lunch and I feel vile rising in my throat

"After we get Niall then? Can I have her?" Brian ask practically drooling

"You can do whatever you please once I have Niall in shooting range" Evil man laughs

No... he wants to kill

Niall.
