Out of Nowhere ***ON HOLD***
Chapter 3
-Lauren's POV-
A stream of curse words pour out of my mouth. I don’t understand why anyone would anyone be following me. My breathing becomes rapid, and I have to admit I am terrified. What do they want with me? Why are they following me?
I stop at the traffic lights and close my eyes. Trying to think of the best way to lose this guy. I open my eyes searching the streets. Looking through all my different options. My eyes flicking to the side streets, the traffic lights, the cars and my review mirror watching my follower.
“okay, lets do this” I whisper to myself.
The lights turn green and I move off. My hands grip the wheels, my knuckles turning white. I wait until the last second, glancing in my mirror one last time I swerve across several lanes. My tires screeching, holding my breath as cars brake all around me as I cut them off turning into the side street.
“No. No. No. Come. ON!” I grunt trying to stop my car from spinning out of control. I frantically grab the wheel, and apply the brakes. As soon as I feel the car straightening out again I slam my foot on the accelerator, speeding through the streets.
I glance back in my mirror and see the sleek car coming around the corner with a lot more skill than me.
Dammit, Dammit, Dammit, Lauren. Come on! I drive through the streets with my tail following my every move. I rejoin the main road and see the train crossing ahead.
I hear the lights flashing. Boom gates slowly coming down. Dear God, please please don’t let me die. My foot pushes the accelerator as hard as it can and I race across the train tracks.
I made it. I let out a deep breath glancing in my review mirror to check that I am all clear. The train misses my followers by a millisecond leaving them to come hurtling after me.
Shit, shit , shit, shit! “Seriously! Oh, come on. This is ridiculous. What the hell do you want?!” I scream into my car hitting the wheel.
I have no strategy anymore and just drive as fast as I can. Swerving around cars. I come up to an intersection and drive straight through, not even noticing the red light.
That’s when I hear the tyres screeching and the biggest crash. I slam on my breaks coming to a stop as I look behind me. Two cars in order to avoid hitting me, have swerved and crashed. And my follower is stuck behind them.
“YAS!” I laugh hysterically. The adrenalin and rush from the victory still coursing through me as I slowly drive home.
“laurie! Laurie!” my little sister shouts excitedly. she comes running down the hallway, of our house, her curly long brown hair flowing out behind her. She runs at me, not slowing down and jumps into my arms.
I catch her spinning around
“Hey Jess” I laugh.
Jess is only six years old. Mum and Dad always wanted to have another kid, but they had so much trouble they gave up for a long time. Then one day Jess came along, although at first I wasn’t too thrilled about the idea of having a little sister so different in age from me. I didn’t want to be left babysitting her all the time because I was old enough to do so, but since the day she was born I couldn’t have asked for a better sister ever. Yes, of course, we have our fights but I couldn’t love Jess more and I would do anything for her.
I swing her around so that I am piggy-backing her as I walk down the hallway. “so what did you and mum and dad get up to while I was gone?”
“they wouldn’t play with me.”
I laugh at the little pout she pulls
“Its ok, I’ll play with you Jess, I promise”
“yay yay yay. ok down! down!”
“ok ok feisty-pants. here you go"
I see my mum sitting in the lounge room watching TV.
“Hey mum” i lean over kissing her on the check whilst chucking my bag on the floor.
“hello sweetie, how was it?”
“yea it was good.” I smile, remembering the way he held me in his arms. Ugh no Lauren focus. “actually no it wasn’t good. Um, someone was following me all night, mum”
My mum looks over to my dad who is standing in the doorway. I watch the look on the faces, it is like they are having a conversation. I look back between them, confused. “what?” glancing to and fro, why aren’t they saying anything.
My dad moves over to where Jessy is sitting on the ground picking up the barbie doll she is currently dressing into a tutu.
“Jessy, go upstairs and unpack your school bag. Laur will help you in a sec”
She runs up the stairs, oblivious to the tension in the room.
“Laur, who was it? do you know?” he stares at me intensely, obviously very concerned.
“no, i don’t know. But they were good. They weren’t just some person having fun following people. They knew exactly what to do.”
“ok,” my mum jumps in quickly stopping my dads next questions, “Laur, we don’t know exactly what is happening, but we have theories, but until we know for sure, just be careful sweetie. why don’t you go upstairs and help Jess”
“but wait why - “
“Laur, listen to your mother” my dad’s stern voice interrupts
“No, why won’t you tell m-“
“Laur, upstairs. Now.”
“Ugh, this is so annoying!” I half shout, storming off. This is affecting me, I have every right to know what is going on. Why won’t they tell me?
I lean over the balcony trying to catch their muffled conversation.
“-it could be nothing” quietly states anxiously,
“it isn’t nothing and you know it”
“I Know, I know, but she is just so young, Scott.”
“I know, but … oh, god Marie, what else can we do?”
“I don’t know, I don’t know”
“If we stay, they are going to come here, you know that right. Its safer for them if we leave. We have to finish this. We started it”
“I don’t want to leave them by themselves though, what if something happens to u-“
“No, Marie. Don’t say that. Nothing is going to happen.”
“ok, fine. We go, but get someone to watch over them.”
What do they mean they’re going? where are the going? Why are we in danger?
My mind races trying to put together everything they are saying. What it all means. Im so confused. I just stand there my head in my hands as I lean on the balcony.
“Laurie, Laurie” Jess tugs on my pants. I sigh pushing my current thoughts to the back of my mind.
“Yea, Jess?”
“Are mummy and daddy fighting?”
“No, baby. They're just talking.” I can tell that she doesn’t believe me, but I have nothing else to tell her. I don’t even understand what is going on myself.
I run my hands through my hair, sighing “Come on, Jess. Why don’t we go pick out a game?”
-Harry’s POV-
I lay on the bed in my room my phone in my hand. I want to call her. I have been laying here debating what to do for the past twenty minutes and it is so frustrating. I get up and walk to the window, standing there placing my forehead to the window. Watching the streets below me. The cars driving past, street lamps casting shadows and people rushing around. The world can seem so quiet up here, from a distance. I wonder what she is doing right now.
Maybe I shouldn’t call her. I mean, management’s right, I don’t want my phone number to become public.
Ugh, who am I kidding. I can just get another number. That’s not really why I am not calling her. I am scared that I will screw this up. I am terrified that she doesn’t want to have anything to do with me anymore. Ugh, god Styles. Pull yourself together. You are literally a world famous singer. You can do it.
H: Hey Lauren :)
L: I’m sorry, I don’t have this number…who is this?
H: Oh sorry! Its Harry :) Do you mind not saving my contact as me, just in case...
L: Yea sure! making the contact now
L: Saved as not-a-super-hot-superstar
H: Real smooth Laur. Not sus at all!
L: haha. You know it Styles. So whats up
H: Just wanted to make sure that you got home alright. And that I had a great time with you tonight…even though my shirt is ruined from the sprinklers
L: Hahaha I couldn’t possibly know what you are talking about
H: Yea act sure act all innocent, I know deep down there is darkness
L: Haha ;) and I know deep down the brooding bad boy has some good in him.
H: Or it could be all an act… I could be deceiving you with light to let you fall in my trap
L: Hmm one problem dr. evil…I was the one who saved your ass, and I respectively believe that if you tried to trap me I could definitely kick your ass
H: Well, we will just have to see about that one. Cause Miss Wilson you are going down
L: Whatever lets you sleep at night, honey
H: Fine then, tomorrow we will just have to find out who is boss
L: Oh really? What time is this big face-off ?
H: I have rehearsals all day, but Im free in the evening. How about a sunset showdown?
L: Oh, it’s on… and I know just the place ;)
H: Tomorrow it is then. Night Laur. Get some rest…you’ll need it.
L: Hah you wish, Styles. Good night x
That night, when I went back to bed, I couldn’t stop smiling.
