THE DEATH OF YOU

Harry's pov

"Cassie?! CASSIE! Where the hell is she Julie?!" I shout at her.
"I- I don't know... I was asleep when you lot got home," she stutters.
"Harry you're scaring her! She's not the enemy so cut it out!" Liam raises his voice, anger ringing in every inch of him.
However, my anger is hotter and stronger. I don't give a shit about Julie being scared. The only thing I care about is finding Cassie.
When Justin never came back last night, Liam said he probably hooked up with some bird which happens often and he'll be back in the morning. But about an hour later he got a call asking if Justin is alright since his car was spotted smashed up. When Liam asked where and was told the address we both bolted out the door, knowing that is Cassie's neighborhood.
We found the car, police surrounding it, but no Justin. I try to get hold of Cassie while Liam tries Justin but they don't pick up. I race then to her flat and now I'm here and there is no Cassie and I'm doing the only thing I can think about and that is shout at her roommate.
"This is fucked up!!! I'm going out to the shitty police men!" I storm out.
I can hear Liam apologizing to Julie as he follows me. She decides to join to, being worried for her roommate which made my anger towards her subdued slightly.
"My girlfriend is missing! I believe she was in this car when it crashed!" I call to the police.
"Could she have been driving?" The police officer frowns at me.
"No reason- it's not her car.." I snap.
"Is she short? This seat is super high and close," the officer goes on.
"She might have driven then," Liam says, "Maybe if Justin couldn't drive.." He explains to me.
"Wait! That phone! In the bag! Wait up!" I hurry over to the lady in uniform who is placing a mobile into a plastic bag.
“Excuse me young man- this is a crime scene,” She holds up her hand to stop me from coming any closer. I ignore her.
"Fuck! That's Cassie's! Why the fuck is it full of blood?!" I demand, fear chocking my throat.
"Why don't you come with me Mr. Styles?"
It is Hendrix, the man who spoke to us just a few weeks ago.
"You promised to keep her safe! You promised no harm would be inflicted on her and now she is missing leaving behind a wrecked car and a bloody phone! So tell me please how the hell can you help me?!" I shout.
"Yo mate.. maybe they know more and will share if you go with them? Let me call your lads back home and let them know what is going on yeah?" Liam tries to talk some sense into me. Julie is teary tucked under his arm and I agree to go with the Hendrix bloke just to get away from her.
Cassie is all alone and has no one to comfort her.

Once at the police station in the conference room and a foul looking cup of coffee, Hendrix decides to clue me in on what he may or may not know.
"We belive your Cassie was taken," he finally sighs after a long stare at me.
"No shit!!! What kind of fucked up operation are you running here? I was telling you for months something like this might happen that I'm being threaten and what do you do? Pet us on the back and tell us it'll be OK! And now look where it has gotten us to?! Cassie got kidnapped by God knows who and you have no idea what the hell is going on!" I smack down on the table in anger.
"I understand you're upset-"
"Upset?!? UPSET?! I'm fucking raging right now!!"
"Her family is being noted and brought here as we speak.. I will keep you in the loop and updated with our progress."
"Damn straight you will! You can start with what you know!"
"Well.. not much.. not until forensic come back with test but they think someone smashed into them on purpose.. there are also security cameras around there so we are pulling them now to see what we can find," he clears his throat.
"Finally.. I guess it takes an abduction to make you blokes work!" I scold.
"Where we're you during this time?" Hendrix questions.
"At Liam's getting ready to go to sleep.. but then he called me.. said he got a call from one of his classmates asking if Justin's Ok since his car is all smashed up and when he said the street we zoomed over knowing it is Cassie's street," I explain, knowing they would look at me first.
"We will check this out with Liam.."
"You do that.. and while you're at it.. check the footage you might see me leaving and then returning with Liam," I smirk at his stupidity
"Look Harry. I don't think you hurt Cassie. I don't think you know where she is. I can see how scared you are for her and the love you have for her in your eyes.. but I have to ask these questions.. It’s protocol," he explains.
I know that too and yet I'm still cross. This wouldn't have happened if they would have done their fucking job.
Liam is at the station with me. We have checked the hospitals but no one matching Cassie's or Justin's description came in.
It is early in the morning when Sam, Sarah and Guy walk in.
Sarah is crying demanding to know what the hell is going on while Sam seems at a loss of words.
Guy tries to calm Sarah down while letting me know that Louis and Eleanor are a few minutes out and will be joining very soon.
I still haven't called my mum but I will wait for the morning, no point in waking her with such terrible news and such little knowledge.
"Who is it Harry? You must know who it is.. or someone from your American team..." Sarah says a while later. Her voice and tears are dry and she looks tired with her bright red eyes.
"I don't know.. I can't remember.. I... I'm sorry.." my voice breaks and I bury my face in my hands. This is all my fault! I brought this upon them.. upon Cassie. I brought danger into her life.. this family has been through enough and I keep coming back and screwing them up even more.
"Oh Harry.." Sarah moves to sit by me and reaches to pull my hands away. She pulls me into a hug cuddling me tightly.
"Don't blame yourself! I won't allow it! It is not your fault there are sick people out there!" She says into my ear.
"It is though.. I shouldn't have left her out of my sight.. Not tonight," I try to hold it together.
"We all know how much you love and cherish my cousin Harry... how would you have known this would happen? It's not your job to be a body guard," she let's go of me so she could look into my eyes. Knowing she doesn't blame me eases up my guilt slightly since now I'm the only one blaming me.
"Harry!" Eleanor rushes into the room followed by Louis.
Sarah moves to make her room next to me.
"Oh sweetie.. how are you holding up?" She touches my cheek. I shake my head and she wraps her arms around my neck.
"We'll find her.. they will pay! I promise you!"
She let's go and Louis who is stood behind me squeezes my shoulder.
"Alright there mate?"
I nod and he taps my shoulder twice.
"I spoke to Ed and Ben.. so I reckon your mum and sister know as well.. Ed will try to get on a flight back tomorrow.."
"He doesn't need to do that," I sigh.
"He wants to be here," El says softly.
"Harry... how long was all this going on?" Sam finally questions.
"A while.. I have been down at the police station in Watford and here with Cassie.. they promised it's all under control.. they thought it was just angry fans and some paps taking photos.. they turned out to be wrong," I steal an angry glance at the officer standing at the door way.
"Why haven't I known about this? Why hasn't this come to my attention?!" He demands to know.
"I didn't want to worry you.." Sarah mumbles. All her feistiness forgotten under these circumstances.
"Worry me?! Hasn't our family suffered enough? With all that has happened with your mum? And then Nan dyeing and Cassie coming back from America after that godforsaken breakup?!"
I don't take offense to his harsh words since it was a godforsaken breakup, and I do get his point, however, I really don't have patience for this shit. The fact that Cassie or Sarah didn't think to tell him about this isn't my fault. It sure doesn't concern me and maybe... just maybe it shows something about his parenting.. I would never keep such a thing from my mum... but then again he is Cassie's uncle.. not dad.
"Stop! Stop shouting for fuck's sake! I can't take it! There is enough yelling in my head!
Everyone goes quiet and suddenly it dawns on me what I have just said.
"I can't.. I'm already confused trying to figure out everything that I can't remember.. and the yelling.. it just confuses me more," I mumble.
Eleanor, who walked in with cups of fresh coffee just as I started shouting at everyone to shut up, takes a seat next to me and places a cup in front of me.
"Just how you like it Harry.. with soya milk," she smiles kindly, rubbing my back shortly, before handing out the other cups.
"How did you know?" I whisper to her.
"I've been to your flat love.. been in your fridge when the girl refused to speak to you," she smiles.
It's true. Ever since Cassie, I started drinking my coffee with soya and now I can't stand it with milk.
"Remind me again who is Justin? Justin walker?" Detective Hendrix steps into the room, looking around at us.
"My roommate," Liam replies.
"Very well.. Liam and Harry if you may step out with me please?"
"Oh god! Please tell me he's alright!" Sarah whines and Guy pulls her to his side.
I glance at Louis and then get up.
We follow Hendrix out. He leads us to a side room with monitors and such.
"Tell me everything you know about Justin Walker," he demands.
"He's my roommate.. he has a class with Cassie and they became study mates after class.. why?" Liam looks confused.
"What else?"
"Not much.. he has a sister... he's funny.. Has loads of friends.." Liam glances at me and shrugs.
"What about you Harry?"
"Don’t know him well.. seems alright to me.. and that's saying something.. I don't like much people.. Especially not guys around Cassie," I note.
We found some footage from security cameras.. we would like to share them with you."
I nod and glance at Liam before taking a step closer to the screen.
The detective presses a button and it comes to life.
I can tell Cassie getting into the car with Justin in the passenger side. He seems cross about something. Cassie starts to drive. The footage is different now.. from a different camera.. different angle. The crash. It seems it was on purpose like the detective thought. Another van stops and 2 guys get out holding guns. One goes to Cassie's side and opens the door. He whacks her with his gun and then pulls her out, throwing her over his shoulder. I curse out loud and then freeze. Justin gets out and fist bumps with the other guy. He is smiling and seems to be talking with them. Then I watch as he follows them into the van, driving off with my Cassie.
