Case file: One Direction.

Chapter: twenty five

I shouldn't keep apologizing, you know what comes next.

I looked at the car, and walked over to the gas tank I lite the lighter and ripped another piece of shirt and looked at the guys, "run about two hundred feet out"

My eyes scanned over the area.

"In that dumpster." I stated and they ran off.

I set the unlit part of the cloth in the gas tank and then sprinted off. The car exploded and I fell to the ground from impact. I huffed and placed my bloody hands on the ground picking myself up.

Cars screeched up and the men all exited the car and circled me.

I started to cry and looked around.

"They're dead!" I fumed

Tears left my eyes and I stared at them repulsed.

"Are you happy?" I laughed now.

Death was awaiting me this time, I was sure of it, and I wasn't scared, honestly I never have been. I felt that when it came it would be peaceful that all the struggles and obstacles would end and it would leave me in a state of tranquility.

They didn't walk towards me at first, almost if pity was evident in their eyes, none of them able to face me.

"I was born to this branded with this, because I wasn't given a choice just like all of you I just wanted to help those you couldn't fight their own battles, and am I a bad guy for wanting that since I knew nothing of myself?"

"I'm sorry I guess." I finished.

One man walked over a expression plastered on his face that I wasn't able to read.

He stepped in front of me and lifted his pistol to my forehead, I could feel the cold barrel.

"Any more words you would like to express?"

I pulled my hand up making a gun with my fingers and pointed it at him.

It was meant to be a joke. Nothing but a sassy last movement before I die. Not taking it to seriously. After all that's me, taking life as one big joke.

The man fell to the ground. I was all fully surprised myself and I looked around not finding anything. One by one therm went down and soon I was left with myself and the bodies.

I stood up and I heard a whistle from the building above me. I looked up squinting my eyes to see Slade hands in pocket, and I could feel like a I could see his smirk on his face.

I started to have quick sharp breaths out of shock and I put my head on the ground.

"Slade!" I yelled with joy and fear.

Minutes later he came down and picked me up off the ground. The boys ran over and I looked them over, they were dirty and cut up but maybe a look by paramedics they'd be fine.

"I literally thought that was it." I said in Slade's chest. "Not today." He rubbed my back.

loud 3 ambulances was heard and it peeled around with three black unmarked SUV's.

They all popped out dragging the boys to the ambulances And started to examine them.

I went over as well to a sub where I just patched myself up with the help of a paramedic. I looked at the two ambulances side by side and the boys sat around.

"You're leaving." Slade said walking up to me. I didn't say anything but looked at the boys.

"I can tell." He said again.

"I can't tell you what to do." Once again he spoke.

"Can you shut up for a minute." I said looking at him.

He held his hands up in surrender

"It'd be for a good reason."

"I know."

"I have unfinished business." I said with a sting in my throat. I had to kill my own mother.

I sighed deeply and slicked my hair back.

"I'll stay." Slade said.

"What?" I asked confused.

"I'll become apart if their bodyguard team just for a while."

"Thank you." I said smiling.

I gave one last look at the guys and grinned at them. I've grown to love them, and I didn't want to leave... But I had to.

I turned around and looked over to my right at Slade, as he looked at me with loving eyes.

"You take care of them, they're my everything." He nodded at me and gave me one last kiss on my forehead letting his lips longer slightly longer.

I finally gained the strength to leave and started to walk away.

"PENELOPE!" Harry's voice called out before I got to far and I looked over my shoulder.

They all ran after me as paramedics yelled at them in anger.

"Where are you going?" He asked hurt. I didn't say anything and I cupped his cheeks and kissed his cheek.

"Goodbye." I said

"No this can't be, Penelope you promised, promised me and all of us that you weren't going to."

"I'm not done, protecting you." I whispered. I could barely make my voice let the words exit my mouth.

"No you can't." Liam said on the verge of tears. I walked up and hugged him he hugged me back tightly almost as if he was trying to not let me leave, if he let go I would disappear. And I was going to.

He let go and I took a few steps back.

"I'm not gone forever." I quietly spoke.

"I'll be back, just a little while that all, Harry.." I said stepping forward to whisper in his ear.

"I L-..." But I stepped back.

"Oh you already know."

"All of you know how I feel." I smiled.

"But I must go.. Just promise me you won't forget about me." I grinned, "cause y'all know there is no way in hell that I could forget you."

A gave them all one last hug. It was it. I could come back or I couldn't it was a gamble I had to take.

"Slade.. Like I said take care of my world." And with that I walked away. I didn't look back, it would be to painful. I felt tears crawl down my face and I wiped them away.

A half a block away I popped the door of a car and got in, starting it up I looked out at the road and to the scenery.

"I am going to find peace with the war raging around me."
