"Louis, what the hell did you do!"

I flinched at Niall's screaming.

"Jeez calm down, mate. Thought you would be happy," Louis scoffed.

Niall threw his hands up in aggravation. "Happy? You thought I would be happy to find out that my girlfriend just got busted out of rehab?"

"Hey-"

Niall cut me off.

"Not to mention how much trouble everyone is going to get in once they find out. Did you think that they wouldn't find out she's gone?"

"I know they will, you arse. But if she's gone she's gone," Louis bickered.

"So they'll call the police!"

Again I tried to barge into the conversation, but was cut off by a different voice.

"What's with all the yelling, lads?"

My head snapped over to a black car that was by us and saw three heads poking out.

"Not now, Liam," Niall groaned.

"Oi! You want to know what's wrong? Niall here isn't happy with what I did for his girlfriend!"

"I'm right here guys," I practically yelled. "You do realise that I am right here and capable of talking for myself."

"Jess!"

I looked at the three heads again and recognised that it was Harry who was calling my name.

"Uhm, hi."

He carefully slid out of the car and walked over towards me. "Were you released?"

"No! Louis here broke her out!"

Everyone's heads snapped to Louis.

"Louis, you did what," Liam gasped.

The short lad walked over to me and threw his arm around my shoulders. "Yes. I broke dear Jess out. She hated it there, needed some fun, and I thought Niall would appreciate it."

"Well I don't."

I flinched at Niall's words.

See.

I knew he would be pissed off that I was here.

I bet we'll never speak again after today.

"Niall, stop being a dick," a fifth voice mumbled.

Zayn had finally climbed out of the car after Liam and now both joined us in our "discussion."

"I'm not being a dick, I'm being realistic! We're screwed now that she's out!"

"How are we screwed, Niall?" Louis argued.

"You just broke her out a rehab!"

"Guys stop arguing..."

"Well Niall is being a dick."

"Zayn. Don't."

"Enough!"

All five of them stopped bickering and looked at me.

"If I'm that much of a problem, don't fucking worry about me. Louis, thanks for what you did. Like seriously. I can never repay you. But I'm obviously not wanted here, so I'll go. And I promise I won't spill that it was you who helped me if I get caught."

"Jess, wait. You don't have to go-"

I raised my hand and stopped Harry's frantic voice.

"It's fine. I'll be fine."

Turning on my heels I started to walk away from them.

I could lie and say it didn't hurt that Niall didn't try to stop me, but even I wouldn't believe that lie.

I couldn't think about that though.

Right now, I needed to figure out what I was going to do.

"At least take the clothes I brought you," Louis called from behind me.

I stopped, turned, and then raised an eyebrow at him as he walked over to their car and grabbed a backpack.

"I figured you wouldn't want to wear those clothes longer than needed. Plus it's going to rain and get cold, so those aren't ideal. I asked my girlfriend, Eleanor, if I could give you some of her old clothes. She's about your size, but just in case I grabbed some that were too big on her," he explained while rushing over.

I took the bag from him and looked inside to see a pair of jeans, a grey, long sleeve shirt, and a black peacoat.

"Thanks Louis," I softly said. "I haven't worn jeans in like...forever."

A small smile spread across his face. "No worries. In there is also my phone number, address, some money, and a beanie. Call me if you need anything."

I nodded. "I will. Sorry for all the fuss I caused. But seriously...thank you."

Louis chuckled and continued to smile. "It's not your fault, Jess. Have a good time, yeah?"

This time I smiled. "Yeah. I hopefully will."

Slinging the backpack over my shoulder, I started to walk away again.

I noticed we were in a small alley in Central London. I knew a McDonald's had to be close by and I would be able to change there at least. Maybe even eat their horrible, greasy food that I actually missed.

Once I arrived to the street, I froze in awe.

A scene I hadn't been able to see in so long was right in front of me.

Double decker busses were stopping at corners, black cabs were honking horns, and traffic was backed up as usual.

City occupants and tourists flowed through the busy pavements, stopping to snap photos and buy souvenirs.

And right across the street was The Eye. Going in its usual slow circle.

I was finally back in my city.
A place I never thought I would miss.

No longer was I stuck behind those cement walls and iron bar windows.

"Jess!"

I spun around and my jaw dropped at the blonde running towards me.

I felt my palms get sweaty and my heart start beating faster.

"Jess, please. I'm sorry. Please don't go."

"Why?"

"I don't want you roaming these streets alone. You got out, which is what you wanted. I should have been happy for you. Even if I don't fully agree with it. I'm a shit boyfriend."

I rolled my eyes at Niall.
"You don't want to get in trouble so don't worry about me. I'll be fine."

He reached out and grabbed my hand. "On the streets? In the cold? And rain? No, Jess. You won't. And I won't allow it. Please...please.. Just come back with me. Let me help you."

I starred at him and bit my bottom lip.

He was most likely right...

I wouldn't be okay on the streets.

But that still doesn't mean that I would be okay with staying with him! The guilt would be eating me alive!

Know that any minute he could get caught with me. Knowing I could be a potential factor in ruining his image or his band's image.

"Jess...please?"

I sighed and dropped my gaze down to the ground.

"Okay, Niall. I'll come back with you. Just until I figure out what I'm going to do. Alright?"

I looked back up to see him nodding.

"Sounds perfect, Jess. Sounds perfect."

(A/n: Weeeeee. Short update. I just felt like getting something up for y'all soon.
