Before You Came | L.T.

How Could You?

"Where do the good boys go to hide away, hide away?
I'm a good, good girl who needs a little company
Looking high and low, someone let me know
Where do the good boys go to hide away, hide away?"

~Hide Away by Daya

Anna's POV

I stare at the person in disbelief. If I could, I would have already beaten the crap out of him. All I can do is just gawk at the traitor standing before me.

"How could you, Adrian? Choose winning over your own blood!" I demanded answer.

"Who said you were my blood? Who said you were even family in the first place? Oh wait. The people you call mommy and daddy." He mocked me, putting fresh lies in my head.

"What do you mean?" I was utterly confused I couldn't tell if he was lying or telling the truth. Adrian stepped a little closer.

"Anna," He lightly cups my face, "your real parents are dead. You want to know how?" He looks me and the eye looking for an answer. "Do you want to know how?" As a reply, I spit directly in his eye. He slaps me across the face and walks backwards into the shadows. "I killed them." With that he was completely gone, leaving me here to process this new information.

Liam's Pov

"Did she eat?" I turn to Adrian as he walks into my office.

"I didn't even try. All she is going to do is reject everything we give her." He plops down on a chair near the desk.

"Did you tell her about her parents?" Adrian nods in reply. "Now that's done, we need to move forward with the plan which is lure Louis in."

"Why would we do that?" He sits up straight, alert.

"We need more people and Louis would do anything to make a Anna safe especially now that she is carrying a unborn baby."

"Let's get on with it. Shall we?" Adrian stands up and heads towards the door.

"We shall." I follow behind him.

"Anna baby." I head towards her quietly.

Her head snaps towards me. "What do you want? You ass!"

I slap her across the face, she looks at me with shock and hatred. "Adrian prepare the syringe." Anna's eyes widen with fear.

"Syringe?" She trembles lightly in fear. She struggle to get out the bondage when Adrian approaches me with the syringe.

I grab the syringe carefully and inch closer to Anna. She tries to move away, but is held back. I wipe away her hair from her neck and bend down to leave kisses on it. She looks at me with disgust. I move away and position the syringe on her neck. "This won't hurt a bit."

I push the needle in and inject the liquid. She cries out in pain, but slowly quiets down. When she is fully quiet and still, I untie her rope.

When I finish untying, I carefully pick her up, bridal style, and head towards the top of the clock. I start preparing the next part of plan when we get there.

I tie Anna up again, but dangle her off the edge. I make sure everything is secure. I step back and eye my masterpiece. Now let the fun begin.

Louis' Pov

The lads and I head towards the guys, but notice Adrian is gone. I look towards Luke and the others.

"Where's Adrian?"

"They know too much. Get them." Luke points at us and instantly, like robots, Michael, Ashton, and Calum come at us.

The lads and I get into position. Ashton starts coming at me and aims for my stomach luckily I block the punch. I see that everyone else got either Luke, Michael, or Calum. During this thought process, Ashton took the opportunity to hit me square in the jaw. I stumble back whilst holding my jaw. I run towards Ashton and do a double kick to his face. He immediately falls back. I take the opportunity to climb on top of him and punch him continuously in the face. When I know he's unconscious, I check if anyone else needs help.

I notice Niall land on the floor and Michael walk towards him. I head behind Michael, grab the nearest chair, and bang across Michael's head. He falls onto the floor unconscious. I head towards Niall and offer him my hand.

I turn to my left and see Michael and Calum on the floor. I turn to my right and see Luke and Ashton on the floor. The lads and I group together and head outside. We gather into the car and start driving towards the Big Ben.

"Let's kick some ass." The boys hoot and holler in agreement.

We head up the clock tower until we reached the top. When we get there, I see Anna dangling off the edge. I head towards her, but Adrian blocks my way.

"One more step from anyone of you and Anna plummets to her death." I could see the fear in Anna's eyes.

"You would never do that Liam!" Liam looks at me in amusement.

"Watch me." Liam walks towards Anna's rope, takes out knife and puts the blade on it.

"Stop! I will do anything for you not to hurt her!" I plead him to stop.

He removes the blade and walks towards me. "There is one thing. You need to work for me."

"I'll do it."

"What?"

"I'll do it!" Getting angrier by the second.

"No, Louis!" Anna yells at me.

"I'm doing it for you." I walk towards LIam and stand by him with my head low.

Liam unties Anna, and releases her, but Harry holds her back. "Please take care of her for me." Harry nods in reply.

I turn away from them and follow Liam and Adrian out the rooftop. "Louis! Come back!" All I hear is sobbing and yelling from my loved one. I'm just hoping I'm doing the right thing. All at once, the noise quiets until there is no more.
