"How Could You?!"

This note is for @5h_is_Life and @racherache: ok I have a confession to make, I don't actually wait for 20 comments for me to update or start writing its just that I think if I dnt put like '20 comments for next chappie' y'all won't bother commenting and just vote. I just love hearing your opinions and thoughts about the chapter. And I get distracted easily so it takes a while for me to write.

Ps. I'm so so sorry that I didn't put a trigger warning at the beginning of the last chapter, I've never written a scene with cutting that's why. I apologize to anyone who might've been affected by that

~Lauren's POV~

"Ally faster!" I said very impatiently, "I can't go beyond the speed" she said not taking her eyes of the road. I was pestering in my seat, waiting for this damn car to get to Veiwmount Drive.

When we get there, I see 2 cars pull up beside ours. I look at the address 145 Veiwmount Drive, wow that's a huge warehouse. "Lauren?" said a voice from behind me, "Drew! What are you doing here?" I asked. "I saw Wes got a text before he went missing to go to this place, I'm hoping he's here". "What are you guys doing here?" said another voice, "Liam?" I see Harry and Louis standing beside him.

"We think Camila might be here"

"We think Zayn and Niall might be in here too, we're so worried about them. They've been gone for 3 days now"

"Same as Wes" said Drew. Same as Camz, I thought. Maybe this wasn't a coincidence after all. Me, the girls, the boys and Drew walked to the front of the humongous warehouse

"Doors' locked" said Louis twisting the knob once more, "Dude I got this" said Drew taking a bobby pin out of his pocket and inserting it in the small hole of the knob and wriggling it a couple times before opening it "Ta-da". Once we got inside, it was pitch black except a small dim light in the middle of the room. There sat a bruised up Niall tied to a chair with tape on his mouth and an unconscious Zayn laying on the ground. "Zayn! Niall!" said Louis running up to them, as Dinah was helping Normani untie Niall, he was squirming and loudly mumbling and grunting inaudible sounds through the tape in his mouth. Drew helps Wes' half conscious body off the ground "......Ky.....Ca...mila" he mumbles.

Ally slowly takes off Niall's tape "Niall! Oh my god! I was so worr--" Niall cut her off "No! You shouldn't be here, none of you should! He's here......please get yourselves out of here". "Who Niall?" Liam asked, "Hades" I said for him

"Yes now please I don't want you getting hurt, Hades is---", "Who is he Niall?" I say. Niall was about to answer when we heard a scream, "Lexie!" said Dinah running to wherever the scream came from. We all followed her except Liam and Louis, they took Zayn to their car to take him to the hospital, Drew stayed with Wes and said it was okay to go without him. Dinah, Normani, Ally, Niall, Harry (he said he would come because he figured we could use some 'muscle') and I took a few turns in the hallway and finally stopped when we saw a tall figure banging on a large door "Come out you little shit! I'm gonna fucking kill you!" he yelled. I don't think he noticed us behind him, because he hasn't turned around and neither of us made a sound to make our presence known. Lexie screamed again with the man trying to push open the door (that obviously had no lock) and was close to opening it.

I made a slight gasp and the man stopped pushing. He slowly turned around to face us in the only lit hallway in the warehouse and we all gasped. Ally looked like she was going to faint, "Troy??" we all said in unison except Niall.

"Yeah actually Troy isn't my real name it's---"

"Kyran" said Niall, "That's right leprechaun" he said and gave Niall an evil smirk. I curled my fists "So you've been Hades this whole time??", before I can even say anything Ally interrupted me "Troy....."

"Troy isn't my name" Ky grumbled

"HOW COULD YOU?!" yelled Ally with tears flowing down her cheeks "I LOVED YOU! And.....and you do this?!"

"I never loved you, sweetheart" Ky said and look at Ally pathetically, "I was the one who cut that Keaton guy's harness 'cause Niall was being a pussy and couldn't do it" he continued with a smirk and Ally looked at Niall with a shocked and heartbroken face "I beat you" he pointed at Harry "...,Zayn and Wes up". "Poor helpless Zayn" Kyran teased, Harry lunged at him but so did I. I got to Ky before and pinned him to the ground, and started throwing hard punches to his face. "YOU SON OF A BITCH!" I yelled "WHY ARE YOU EVEN DOING THIS? What did Camila ever do to you?!". "Can't a brother visit his own sister" he said quietly only for me to hear. I was confused but continued attacking his face, I must admit he has very strong arms and tried to get out of my grip. He almost got out at one point but my anger was literally uncontrollable and held my ground. I got up and kicked his balls and he groaned in pain. "Lauren that's enough" said Dinah calmly, I huffed and took one look at Kyran's now bloody face. "You guys go" said Harry, "We got him" Niall added.

I nodded and Dinah, Normani, Ally and I entered the room Troy....I mean Kyran was trying to get into, to see Lexie leaning over a bed and feeding, what looked like soup to a bruised and bandaged Camila. We all gasped, "Dinah!" said Lexie running up to her and hugging her "I'm so sorry I shouldn't have helped him, he...he said he was gonna hurt you if I didn't". "It's okay boo" said Dinah giving her another embrace. I immediately ran to Camila's bed side and knelt down, I can't even look at her......she looks so broken, "Did he do this?" I angrily asked, Lexie nodded. I wanted to find that motherfucker and beat the crap out of him again, but I know I have to be here for Camila. "Baby...." I say tucking a strand of hair behind her ear "I'm here Camz.....I'm here".

"....umhh.....Lolo" came from her lips, "Camz? I'm so so sorry, this is all my fault...." Camila's now hazily voice interrupted me "No no it's not" and shakily brought her hand to my cheek

"I love you"

"I love you too, princess".

We sat in the small room for a while and just talked, while Camila rested. Lexie told she got into Yale and was going in a few weeks, and that she found a cure for Camila's memory loss, which is awesome. Suddenly, 2 policemen burst through the door. "Are you ladies alright? C'mon were here o get you out". We nodded and once of the paramedics that came with the cops put Camila in a stretcher to take her to the hospital. "We arrested a man named Kyran Cabello for this assault, an he will be put in a rehabilitation centre for his addiction to crystal meth". Wow so I guess Kyran really is Camila's brother.

"Crystal meth?" said Ally in shock, "Yes, we examined his body and found the substance".

When we got out of the warehouse, we notice Niall and Harry standing in front of the police car as a policeman cuffed Kyran and pushed him to enter the car.

~Ally's POV~

While the others talked I pulled Niall away so I could talk to him privately. I hadn't realized it, until my palms were red that I had slapped him. "I'm sorry...I-I don't know what came over me" I stuttered, "It's okay I deserved it". "Why didn't you tell me?" I asked

"Because he said he would hurt you and If you got hurt 'cos of me, I don't know what I'll do" he confessed. "Niall...." I say "I do love you and there's a chance that we'll be together someday but not right now".

"It's okay Ally. I'd wait a thousand years for you" and that made my heart flutter."Thank you" I kissed his cheek and went back to the others.

~Lauren's POV~

I went in the ambulance to take Camila to the hospital. Dinah, Normani and Ally followed with their car and also Harry and Niall to see Zayn. Drew is already there in the hospital with Wes 'cause he wasn't that damaged, only a few minor injuries to the stomach.

Apparently the police had to take Kyran here too, because of the damage I did to his face (which I'm proud of) and an overdose use of crystal meth. And then after that, they're taking him to a rehab centre.

While I waited in the waiting room for the doctors to be done with Camila when I heard a familiar voice "Lauren?". My head snapped to where the voice was coming from, and there stood Alejandro Cabello with Sofi at his side. "Oh my god it's so good to see you" I said and I each gave him and Sofi a hug. Just when I thought he was here to see Camila, he asked the front desk lady where Kyran Cabello's room was, the lady pointed to a door that wa just down the hallway. Alejandro told Sofi to stay with Dinah, Normani, Ally and I for now but I left to eavesdrop, I know it's wrong but I'm curious.

As I peek through the slightly open door I can hear Alejandro saying "Son....". "I'm not your son!" Kyran snapped. "I thought I wouldn't see you again" said Alejandro,

"You would kinda expect that since you never looked for me!"

"Son..."

"IM NOT YOUR SON GODDAMMIT! You're not even my biological dad"

"But Sinuhe was your mom, which makes you apart of the family, mijo".

"Don't call me that!" Ky yelled, then a bunch of nurses went in to inject him with a sleeping medicine to calm him down, I went back to the girls before anyone noticed I was there. Alejandro also visited Camila with Sofi just after me and left because they still had to go back to Miami. "Karla Cabello?" the doctor said, the and I stood up "She's ready to go". Camila comes out of the doctor's room wearing a cast on her arm a and 1 crutch on her left leg, even in that state she still manages to take my breath away.

--home--

"Home sweet home" said Ally, "Yeah" said Camila "I'm hungry" and she tried walking in her crutch to the kitchen almost falling at the prices but I caught her. "Babe, you need to sit down. I'll order some pizza and we can all watch a movie ok?"

"M'kay"

--

When the movie was over, the girls all went to bed. Man this has been a crazy day! I look to Camila who was so deep in thought, "What are you thinking about princess?" I asked, "Its all my fault that this happened". "No it's not"

"Yes it is!"

"Camz, it's not your fault"

"But it is...." And then she told me what Kyran told her. Him being her brother, her moms affair, his dads' suicide.

"It's not your fault, you were just a kid. If anything, it was Kyran's dads fault for shooting himself". She tried to protest but I shushed her, I cupped her face and placed my lips on hers, I missed her soft lips on mine. The kiss wasn't heated or anything, it was slow and passionate, each of us trying to savor the moment. She pulled away, we cuddled after that and tried watching another film, but Camila fell asleep. I spent at least an hour watching her sleep, she's just so....beautiful. I literally can't describe her......it's better than words. I smile and kiss her forehead, before falling asleep myself. I got my baby back.
