Something Stronger Than Love

MELISSA'S POV

I walked into my office, not really paying attention to the four girls in my office. I heard I had a meeting, but I had no idea who it was with.

As soon as I came face to face with the four girls, I realized who they were.

"TONI!!!" I screamed.

"MELISSA!!!" She yelled back.

The other girls realized what we said, and started screaming. I ran up to Toni who stood up and hugged her tight. She moaned in pain.

"I'm sorry, did I miss something?" I asked.

"She fell down stairs and went into a week long coma. She still feels a little pain."

I nodded, that poor thing.

"So get comfy, tell me everything that I missed." I sat down in my chair as the other girls did the same.

Paige was the first to speak. "I think you should explain how you're alive."

I agreed, "Okay, so after that night I ran out, I ran to the complete opposite side of the island. I found a man, a guy who was there for months before we showed up. His name was... I don't remember. But we decided to try and leave, and when I came back to the camp, you weren't there, but a ton of rafts were. We took one, and some food and blankets and stuff, and set sail that day. We found land in Delaware, and we rented a car to drive back to Pennsylvania. I lived with my parents for awhile. Then I got a job and rented an apartment. So here I am now."

They all seemed confused, but I wanted to here their side of the story. "So what happened?"

Violet decided to answer, "We built the rafts, found the food, and got the blankets. When you ran off, we went looking, and found a body similar to you hanging from a tree. We assumed it was you. Then Harry and Toni found a ton of wood, and built a shelter, then when the rafts were complete, we realized stuff had been stolen. So we didn't wait as round to find out what or who took it."

Alexis kept going, "When we were on the water, The rafts got separated and Paige and Toni went in a different direction than us. The whole time, Lou was going insane, but Harry and Zayn had lost it the second they were out of site."

"When we were almost to land, we went over a waterfall, and Toni hit her head and got glass in her forehead. She got pushed down the stairs and hit her head right where it was, causing the coma. She woke up a few days ago, all of us are together, except for Harry, who is only there when they do shows or practice, and only for a short amount of time."

Toni bursted with tears as soon as Paige finished. Yeah, I remember that Harry and Toni were really close. I knew that finding each other on that island was destiny. But after getting separated, why would Harry want to spend time alone?

ZAYN'S POV

We were home with Michael, chilling on the farm, waiting for the girls to get home. Harry as usual wasn't there, but I don't know where he was. Probably somewhere in the house.

Mikey seemed really cool, but my feelings for Flynn always stayed the same. I didn't like him when I first met him. He seemed like he was always pretending. And now I KNOW he was just pretending.

Louis randomly stood up, walking to the radio sitting on the kitchen counter.

"What are you doing?" Liam asked, my god, he's always so confused. Violet and him are perfect for each other.

"Putting some music on, what the hell does it look like?" (A/N: Lol do you get the video diary reference when Lou put salt in his hat and put on his head?)

The song that came on when the radio came on was Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen.

"Oh god." Lou said. (A/N: Hehe, did it again.)

I was about to change the station, but Niall stood up and started dancing. I looked at him as of he were insane. But he just shrugged.

"No ones here to make fun of us, so can't we dance?"

I stood, shrugged, and started dancing. Liam then started dancing, then Lou. We all were dancing like idiots, looking at Michael.

"You guys are kidding right?" Michael asked.

We all shook our heads.

"Fine." He got up and called Liam over. I had no idea why until they started pushing all the furniture to the side, leaving a huge empty living room for 5 idiots to dance.

Shouldn't it be 6? I looked at all the idiots. Harry still isn't here. But now I'm starting to think he isn't in the house. And none of us know where he went or why.

I decided to just enjoy this insane time we were having for a little while, and dance. I was doing the Harlem shake while listening to Call Me Maybe, who the fuck does that?

"Hey
I just met you
And this is crazy
But here's my number
So call me maybe."

The song ended, and we were all secretly sad, but Louis randomly walked up to Niall.

"Oh my god, Niall Horan! I'm such a huge fan! Sign my boobs!" He pretended to be some crazy fan. My god, what's wrong with us.

"Sure!" Niall played along.

Liam threw a sharpie to Niall, and Louis lifted his shirt, while Niall signed his chest. It took all I had not to burst out laughing.

After they finished, Louis put the music back on, in the middle of a song we all knew, Survivor by Destiny's Child. The song that Niall and Toni were singing on the island.

"Please change this." Niall had a tear run down his cheek. I felt so bad for the lad.

Louis quickly changed it to a different channel, and Hey There, Delilah came on, and Louis changed it to another station. Cry Me A River, Liam and Toni's song came on. Louis changed it yet again. Isn't she Lovely came on, Harry's song to Toni. Louis changed it, telling us that no matter what song was on, it was staying on.

Of fucking course, Let Me Love You came on, the song I sang to Toni on the ferris wheel on the date we became girlfriend and boyfriend.

"I'm sorry Zayn, I'm not gonna change it." Louis's face was grim.

I nodded, "Let's just not talk about it. Let's focus on something else."

"Why do all the songs that mean so much to us have to come on? Even Isn't She Lovely, and that's a really old song! We're being punished." Liam started crying.

I started crying too, we had a moment of silence, and I could hear the words 'You should let me love you'.

I looked around, every single one of us was crying. Even Michael.

Michael couldn't bare it either, "You guys wanna get drunk?"

I looked around.

"Hells yea!"

PAIGE'S POV

We were all stuffed into one car, including Melissa, driving home. Toni drove, still not speaking a word since the office, with Alexis in the passenger seat, and Violet, Melissa, and I in the back.

We pulled into the driveway, seeing the living/kitchen/dining room lights on. I assumed the guys were in the living room. Toni shut off the car, and got out without a word.

We all filed out of the vehicle, walking up onto the porch. Alexis spoke, "Ready to see the guys again?"

Melissa nodded. I opened the door, and the sight before me was both disturbing and hilarious. Every single one of the guys was beyond wasted.

Louis was dancing on the couch with a bottle of alcohol, Niall was twerking on the wall, Liam was attempting to do the worm, Zayn was doing some type weird hip thrust at the air, and Michael was dancing like Shakira.

"What. The. Actual. Fuck." I said.

They all stopped what they were doing and looked at us, and then Louis dropped the fragile bottle, causing it to shatter on his foot. He screamed out in pain, jumping of the couch, but none of us really had medical experience other than me, but it was like four years since anything happened. Hell, last thing I treated was Toni's ankle on the island when she tore her stitches.

"Someone help him!" Melissa screamed.

We all looked around, no one knew what to do.

Suddenly, Toni ran to the bathroom, and returned with gauze and a bunch of stuff I don't remember the name of. She gave Louis that look that says 'This is gonna sting like a bitch', then started dabbling disinfectant on the cuts.

Louis was screaming, and everyone was looking at Toni, wondering where the fuck she learned to do this. Except for Michael, he looked like he felt like an idiot.

Toni finished up, put the stuff away, and walked back to a silent living room.

"Where the fuck did you learn to do that?!" Liam asked.

"After taking 3 years of abuse, you pick up a few things. Like learning how to clean cuts, and you also pick up anger issues. And sometimes, you pick up all the emotional pain from every beating, and it stays somewhere inside of you, waiting for the right moment to come out, and you just snap. All that pain floods out like a wave of emotions, and then you bottle your feelings up for the rest of your life, only releasing them when you lose yourself. I haven't snapped yet, or lost myself. I'm a ticking time bomb. So try not to be there when I explode, or it ends badly for a few people."

With that, she ran outside, and we all watched from the doorway as she jumped on her horse and rid north.

We all thought she could use a moment, so I took this time to reintroduce Melissa.

"Hey, guys, this is our manager." I didn't want to say her name and give her away, I wanted to see if they knew who she was.

Liam, being his nice, fuzzy self, "Hello. I'm Liam Payne. Nice to meet you."

She stifled a laugh, then nodded and smiled. Niall came up, "I'm Niall Horan. And I'm also a leprechaun."

My god, he's still drunk. Melissa shared a 'nice to meet you', then Zayn walked up, my god, if he doesn't realize it, they're all insane.

"I'm Zayn Malik. Toni's ex boyfriend. The lad on the floor is Louis Tomlinson, and Michael's over there on the couch."

Oh my fucking god, are you kidding? I watched as Zayn sat down on the couch, followed by all the guys.

Melissa said, "Hello, I'm Melissa Craig."

I didn't notice it before, but Niall had a bottle in his hand, and he dropped it on Louis's foot. It didn't break this time though.

"Mel?!!" Liam screamed. She nodded, laughing.

I could tell every single one of them felt like idiots.

"I'm so dumb! But I thought you died!" Niall shouted, not being subtle with the death part.

"Long story short, you found some other body. I was with a guy on the other side of the island. I don't remember his name though. And we stole the raft."

They all nodded, then Melissa asked the one question everyone tried to avoid. "Where's Harry?" I mentally facepalmed, "He's been randomly leaving when we weren't at shows. No one knows where he goes, or why he's leaving."

She nodded sadly, then sat down.

My god, this is gonna be a long few days, figuring out what's wrong with Toni and Harry.
