Heads or Tails ?

Chapter Fifteen

Louis' pov

"Are you sure ??" Liam asks, looking as stressed out as I feel at the moment.

"Yes I'm fucking sure !!" Harry pretty much yells at him, falling down on the sofa and burying his face in his hands.

I sit down next to him while everyone runs around the room and I think I can see the wheels turning inside their heads as they try to come up with something, only Lucy just stands there quietly and doesn't do anything.

"What if Liv gave them the code and this is a trap ?" Jules asks.

"What the fuck are you implying ??" Harry raises his voice, looking at at them with dark eyes and furrowed brows.

"I'm not implying anything Harry chill the fuck out." Jules responds just as loudly and angrily, and they very much have the right to be frustrated with him, Harry's really acting like a dick right now.

"Niall can you trace it ?" Liam asks, stopping the fight before it even really starts.

I have no doubts that Harry is ready to start yelling at everyone and everything... and I'd rather we don't all start screaming at each other.

Niall answer with a short nod before he sits down at the table with his laptop in front of him.

Harry lays back down on the couch with his leg bouncing on the ground and we all wait in silence for Liam to speak again.

"I want everyone in the meeting room in twenty minutes, there's nothing we can do until Niall locates the phone."

"We don't have time !!" Harry shouts and Liam looks at him with serious eyes, but still keeps his composure.

"Twenty minutes." he repeats before he walks out of the room.

"Harry you have to calm dow-" I start but Harry cuts me off.

"You, don't talk to me right now." he spits before standing up and walking up the stairs with strong feet.

"What's going on with you two ? Again ?" Moon asks and I don't answer her, looking down at my feet as I wait, just wait, and no words come out of Harry's mouth either.

But then Lucy's small and quiet voice resonates inside the room and my eyebrows furrow.

"I'm sorry." she says. I look up at her as she rests her back against the wall.

"What are you sorry for love ?" I ask, standing up and walking towards her.

"It's my fault. It's my fault they took them."

"Hey, it's not your fault. We chose to bring you here and we knew the risks, you have absolutely nothing to be sorry for, alright ?" I say quietly and she just nods, a single tear falling down on her cheek.

At this moment I'm very mad that I can't hug her or even just hold her hand, but I really don't want to scare her and I know touching her will only make her flinch away from me.

"You're gonna be okay, and they're gonna be okay too." I say, trying to convince myself as much as I'm trying to convince her.

****

"Why are we here ?" I ask as we all walk into the meeting room, staying standing while everyone else goes to sit down, expect for Harry who walks to the opposite wall and resting his back against it.

"Because we're going to kill Simon Cowell." Liam answers and I choke on my own breath.

"Say what now ??" Niall asks with slightly wide eyes, looking up from his laptop for only a second, and I'm very glad he has to ability to do multiple things at once.
