Let me know what you think! Enjoy! :)

Harry never thought that going back to his own home will be that hard as it was now that he was standing in the garage, his mum behind him with a small suitcase next to her. She had insisted on staying with him to keep him company, that was the excuse she had used. Harry knew she was afraid he would do something stupid and she wasn't far from the truth. Harry would search the whole city, the whole country if he could, he would never stop until Louis and Ian were safe and sound next to him.

"Sweetheart..." Anne started snapping Harry out of his thoughts, dark ones where he wanted to burn Collin alive.

"Right." Harry said before he opened the door and walked inside.

Everything was like he had left it that afternoon as he made his way inside trying not to touch anything wanting to keep the house intact. He took a seat on the couch spotting the playpen by the window, no child, and full of toys that he didn't know if they would ever be used again. He could hear his mum in the kitchen probably making him something to eat even though he had asked her not to, he wasn't hungry nor he had the energy to eat anything.

He doesn't know how long he stayed there until he spotted Ian's giraffe on the floor near the wall wondering if Ian had dropped it there. He had gotten the habit of throwing stuff out of his playpen just to watch him and Louis pick them up over and over again as he giggled, too happy for his own good.

It was his new favorite game to play and they were always happy to play along even if it annoyed the hell out of them. He slowly got up to pick it up then took a seat next to the playpen just staring at it until he felt his eyes burning with tears.

"Harry...love don't cry." Anne said from where she was standing on the doorway not really knowing what else to say much less do.

"I- I forgot to pack it, h- he's going to miss it. He won't be able to go to sleep without it." Harry started crying again and just when Anne was about to take a step, they heard the doorbell.

Harry shot up from his spot and ran towards the front door almost tripping on his way there. He opened the door hoping for Louis and Ian to be standing on the other side but was left disappointed when he saw Liam, Niall and Zayn standing in front of him.

Zayn's eyes were red from all the crying he had been doing on the way there then started crying again when Harry threw himself at Liam. They could hear the muffled sobs coming from him and as soon as Liam wrapped his arms around him, Harry only cried louder.

"They'll find them, don't cry." Liam rubbed his back pushing him a little to get him back in the house.

He went straight to the couch with Harry still attached to him then made him sit down going back to hugging him again noticing he was holding Ian's favorite toy. Niall took a seat on Harry's other side while Zayn took one next to Liam trying to stop crying but unable to.

"I- It was Collin." Harry mumbled, "He took them right under my nose. I'm a useless piece of shit."

"No! You are not. Collin is the only one to blame here." Zayn said reaching to grab one of Harry's hand where Harry noticed the engagement ring.

"Congratulations." Harry forced himself to smile feeling a little happy for them; however, it was quickly wiped away remembering Louis and Ian.

"Haz, you need to eat. Look, your mum made you something to eat." Niall said as soon as he saw Anne holding a plate with a sandwich.

"I'm not hungry." Harry said holding tighter onto the plush giraffe.

"Harry, you need to eat. You need to stay strong for when Louis and Ian come back, they're going to need you." Liam tried to convince him then sighed when Harry refused.

"Do it for them." Zayn fiercely said and that was enough for Harry to force himself to eat the sandwich.

When Harry finished eating it he felt a bit nauseous but held it down not wanting to really get sick when he couldn't afford to do so. His friends ended up leaving as soon as the clock struck ten leaving Harry once again alone with only his mum to keep him company. That night he ended up sleeping with his mum on the pull out bed of the couch not wanting to be alone in his bedroom having avoided going into Ian's nursery much less glance at his door.

~*~

Louis ended up not sleeping at all yet laid down on the bed with Ian next to him glad that his son was peacefully sleeping after he had made him a bottle and given him more apple sauce. Collin never showed up again allowing him to relax a little then watched his son sleep as he cried trying to think of ways to get out of there without risking his baby's life.

By morning, Ian woke up a crying mess making it impossible for Louis to calm him down knowing he wanted his stuffed toy. He fed him the last jar of applesauce and another bottle before he was out of food getting worried at the thought of Collin not feeding them at all. He had just changed his diaper when he heard him unlocking the door and as fast as he could, he picked Ian up moving him away from Collin's gaze.

"I brought you something to eat, and there's stuff for the brat in there too." Collin threw a few bags at Louis' feet, The one I brought you yesterday has more clothes for you."

Louis rolled his eyes then reached down to pick them up to see what he had brought for his son and as soon as he had opened them, Ian went quiet wanting to see what was in the bags. There were jars of baby food, formula as well as diapers, wipes and clothes along with stuff to bath him with.

"I only buy him organic stuff." Louis glared at Collin, "This isn't the shampoo and soap I get for him, do you have any idea how much chemicals these have. I'm not gonna bathe him with that shit." Louis threw them at him screaming when Collin lunged forward and grabbed him by the hair making Ian wail when he threw them backwards landing on the bed.

"Don't get smart with me Louis! That's all there is so you better use it before I decide to do it myself and trust me, I won't hesitate to drown him first chance I get." Collin pulled harder only hearing the cries from both of them before he got up and left slamming the door shut after him making sure to lock it.

Louis quickly wrapped his other arm around his son then rubbed his back humming a lullaby until Ian calmed down and started sucking on his thumb. Louis hated whenever he did that ever since his two bottom teeth had come out but this time he didn't do nor say anything being that his baby's way of soothing himself.

"Let's go give you a bath, baby. I promise you you'll feel so much better then we can think of ways to get out of this hellhole." Louis sat up then kissed Ian's forehead as he picked a bag and made his way to the bathroom.

Louis hated the way Ian was looking around probably searching for Harry, and it wasn't because he hated Harry there during bath time. It was the fact that ever since Ian had been born, he and Harry always gave him baths together and now there he was, doing it all by himself while his baby boy looked around with wide eyes.

He cringed when he poured the shampoo over his head admitting that it smelled good and the foam was soft but it wasn't the one he used. When he was done bathing him he picked him up wrapping the towel around his tiny body before going back to the bedroom where he found more bags by the door. He changed Ian into a plain white long sleeved bodysuit then light blue pants and white socks. He picked him up again then made his way to the bags that were filled with clothes for him giving him the sudden urge to cry again because new clothes meant a permanent stay.

He badly wanted to take a shower but couldn't not wanting to leave Ian alone in the bedroom already knowing he couldn't lock himself in the bathroom since it didn't have a lock. He seemed to think about it until an idea popped into his head placing Ian inside the crib who started crying right away. He then started pushing the crib towards the bathroom hating the scraping sounds it made against the wood floor then smiled when Ian's cries cut off getting replaced by giggles. He saw he had scratched the wood floor and smirked giving no shits about it.

"You like that?" Louis smiled making silly faces at his son and continued pushing until the crib was in the bathroom.

Once they were all set, he went back to the bedroom and grabbed the bags running back to the bathroom where he closed the door and pushed the crib against it. He showered as fast as he could and when he was done he changed into a pair of jeans and a long sleeved black shirt.

When he walked out of the bathroom intending to leave the crib there to use it while he showered since Ian was sleeping with him, he froze when he saw Collin standing in the middle of the bedroom. Louis was glad Ian was still in the crib as he stood in front of him protecting him from Collin's glares directed towards them. His heart rate started picking up out of fear and helplessness when Collin reached for the fly of his jeans then the zipper making Louis want to cry.

"What the hell are you doing, you fucking psycho! Get the fuck out of here!" Louis nearly screamed, he pushed the crib further into the bathroom then closed the door not wanting Ian to see anything.

"Oh darling, remember all the fun times we had. Just you and me, the way you would let me fuck you." Collin smirked while Louis felt like throwing up when he started getting closer to him.

"Get out of here!" Louis screamed immediately regretting it when Ian started crying on the other side of the door.

"I will once I get what I want." Collin took his shirt off before he ran and grabbed Louis by the arm dragging him towards the bed.

Louis screamed bloody murder the whole way there then started kicking and hitting him as soon as he was on top of him feeling disgusted at the feel of Collin's lips against his own. He tried to fight hearing Ian's ear piercing cries coming from the bathroom and without hesitation, not even once, he bit Collin's lower lip. The bastard let out a muffled scream against his mouth trying to get him to let go but Louis never did until Collin wrapped a hand around his neck.

He tried to push it away but Collin only squeezed harder making new tears roll down his temples and when he was sure he was going to die, Collin pulled back and punched him over and over until he felt ready to pass out. Louis stopped crying feeling the wetness all over his face and when he touched it then looked at his hand, it was covered in blood.

"Fucking whore." Collin spat grabbing him by the hair to make him look at him as he wiped away the blood on his lip, "You're going to pay for this, bitch." Collin said before he let go then pushed Louis off the bed before making his way to the bathroom.

"No! Collin please! I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Louis screamed trying to get up but ended up falling again when he started feeling dizzy.

He watched with tears in his eyes how Collin opened the door and seconds later walked out with a wailing Ian in his arms heading straight for the door. Louis got up and ran towards them as he screamed but it wasn't enough when Collin slapped him again making him fall down on his bum before he walked out and locked the door leaving Louis inside.

"No, my baby! Give me my baby!" Louis got up again screaming and started pounding on the door trying to get him to open it then started panicking when Ian's cries stopped.

He rushed to the window trying to get it open and once he did, he found it barricaded with bars. He started pulling on them seeing miles and miles of fields making him realize no one will ever hear him then stopped crying when he saw Collin outside making his way to him. He had Ian in his arms who was calm and was chewing on Louis' phone, he would look at it and twist it here and there before going back to chewing on it.

"He's fine. You don't have to be so fucking dramatic." Collin rolled his eyes moving closer when Louis stuck his hands out through the bars trying to reach for him but as soon as he was within reach, he pulled him back making Louis cry again.

"Please...Collin please, give me my baby. Please." Louis sniffled ignoring the blood on his face, his gaze only focused on Ian who was looking up at Collin still chewing on the phone.

"Hmm...I think I'll keep him." Collin smirked then looked at the baby before speaking again, "Right Jake, you like hanging out with daddy."

"That's not his n- name." Louis sobbed wondering what he had done wrong to deserve that kind of suffering.

"It is now, soon we'll get out of here and move to Australia and start a new life with our son." Collin informed him ignoring the way Louis was crying.

"Collin please, give him to me. I- I'll do anything you want me to, please." Louis begged still trying to reach for his son.

"Clean yourself up first, you're pathetic." Collin glared at him before he walked back inside the house.

Louis nodded then ran to the bathroom seeing the damage for the very first time. His nose was already bruised up with dried blood around it and still more of it coming out of his nose, he then started cleaning around it ignoring the pain and the tears he was still shedding.

He was already done when he heard the door unlocking going back to the bedroom where Collin was already standing. Louis quickly took Ian in his arms hugging him close and feeling dejected when he noticed he no longer had the phone with him.

"Are you going to act up again next time I try to kiss you?" Collin asked, his gaze settling on Ian then back on Louis.

"N- No." Louis stammered fighting the urge to take a step back when Collin got closer and just like that he knew he had lost when he let him kiss him just like they used to.

"Good boy." Collin pulled back then left but not before kissing him again making sure to lock the door on his way out.

Louis sunk down on the floor trying not to cry out loud seeing his baby staring at him before he went back to watching his tiny hands and playing with them. With a lot of effort on his part, Louis finally managed to get up and go to bed to try and put Ian down for his nap. Ten minutes later his son was passed out in the middle of the bed surrounded by pillows while Louis searched for an escape getting more frustrated when he couldn't find a way.

Before they knew it, almost a week had passed and everyday that went by without knowing anything about his family made Harry want to kill himself. He hadn't stepped inside Ian's bedroom at all and instead chose to lay in the pull out bed in the living room with Ian's giraffe clutched in his arms close to his chest. Everybody started getting worried about him when he went almost two whole days without eating until Des sat down next to him and forced him to.

He would sometimes sit down looking out the window for long periods of time wishing Louis would just walk up to the house with Ian in his arm and tell him everything was going to be okay. So far the police had no leads when they had completely disappeared from the face of the earth, his SUV having been found abandoned in a warehouse with no more leads other than Ian's pacifier along with the clip.

Harry had cried for a whole hour as soon as it had been given back to him after it had been investigated for any more leads only finding Ian's and Louis' DNA. Anne would stay with him only getting time to shower and take her much needed rest whenever someone else would come over. She didn't trust Harry alone after he had taken a knife intending to get out and look for Collin to do as much damage as he could.

"Do you think they're dead?" Harry asked out of nowhere making Anne almost choke on the piece of chicken she had been chewing.

"W- Why would you say that?" She asked unable to think of something else to say, she didn't want to bring his hopes up.

Harry only stared at his food feeling like his eye were about to close at any moment when the exhaustion was starting to catch up to him. Anne stared at him seeing how greasy his hair was after he kept refusing to move away from the window or the bed to at least take a shower. How dark the circles under his eyes were along with the bags underneath them, the way he looked so lifeless. A living death.

"The- They could be dead." Harry started shaking as his mother watched him with wide eyes, "They're probably dead, he- he probably killed them. Mum, he ki- he killed them."

"No!" Anne almost shouted getting up from the table to go to Harry wrapping her arms around him, "They are not dead, they can't be dead." Anne insisted almost trying to convince herself.

"I'm scared." Harry mumbled hiding his face on his mother's chest wanting to just go to bed and sleep forever, or at least until they were back.

"I know, love. I know." Anne said, her eyes filling with burning tears.

She stayed by Harry's side until he finished his food and later on when Jay came over, she was so thankful when she convinced him to take a shower. Once he was finished, he went back to sit by the window and stare outside seeing all the people walking by with their families looking happier than ever. It angered Harry all the way to the depths of his core to see them like that when he no longer had his family, he was now alone and bitter.

~*~

"Would you shut him up! He's getting his food, what else could he possibly want. I swear he's so spoiled but no more Louis." Collin snapped from the other side of the table where Louis was sitting with Ian on his lap trying to feed him. The baby screaming his lungs out and refusing to eat the mashed potatoes Louis was giving him.

"He misses Harry." Louis mumbled looking down at the top of Ian's head then back at Collin showing him the brand new bruise on his left eye.

"Be glad you're holding him or I would have beaten the shit out of you for saying his name. Next time you won't be so lucky, darling." Collin rolled his eyes then got up from the table leaving the dirty plate behind, "Clean all of this shit up, better be finished by the time I get back or you're gonna get it."

Louis only nodded obediently not wanting another repeat from last night where he had talked back and not three seconds later he was already on the floor clutching his left side of the face. He was just glad Collin hadn't tried to sleep with him for the past week since Ian was always crying wanting Louis to be holding him at all times. It was as if he was a completely different baby from the one he used to be before they were taken. The other one had been a happy baby, this one cried all the time for no reason and it killed Louis to see him like that.

Louis sighed putting the spoon back in the plate accepting the fact that Ian wasn't going to eat and instead grabbed a napkin and wiped around his mouth. He got up with a still crying Ian and placed him inside the playpen Collin had gotten then went back to the table to clean up. He ignored Ian's cries hoping he'll wear himself out as he washed dishes then cleaned the whole kitchen not wanting another beating.

When he was done he leaned against the sink and looked around the small cottage where Collin had kept them for the past week. He didn't even try to escape or find ways to escape when all the windows had bars on them and the doors were heavily locked from the outside.

He took a seat on the floor next to the playpen where Ian was now calm and playing with a few toys that lucky for Louis, were age appropriate for Ian. He watched him until his son pushed his toys away then got up wanting Louis to hold him again then started crying until Louis picked him up.

"Oh sweetheart, I promise we'll get out of here soon. I bet your daddy Harry's looking for us right now and I just know he'll find us soon." Louis said kissing his son's forehead.

"Dahey!" Ian screamed lightly bouncing up and down in Louis' arms.

"Yeah baby, daddy." Louis smiled wincing a little when the cut in his lip started stinging.

He gladly let Ian crawl around when the baby started showing some signs of independence once again then his gaze settled on the chimney that was also barricaded. When he turned around once again, Ian was no longer in sight making him get up to search for him. He found him behind the sofa with his tiny back to him but he knew he was holding something and it was already in his mouth.

"What you got there, huh?" Louis softly asked him glad that his son paid no attention to his bruised up face.

When Ian turned to look at him he almost gasped when he saw the phone- his phone, in his son's tiny hands. He was quick to take it away making Ian cry then picked him up to quiet him down as he turned his phone on now knowing why Harry hadn't been able to track them down. With the phone off it was impossible to track them down.

"C'mon c'mon. Please hurry up." Louis desperately said watching the phone as it turned on hoping for Collin to take longer to get back.

He sighed in relief as soon as it was on and with shaky hands searched for Harry's contact info messing up a few times until he had the pleasure to press his thumb over the little call icon. He put the phone against his ear hearing the dial tone and getting desperate the longer it was taking for Harry to answer the phone until someone did.

"Lou..?" Harry's shaky voice was heard through the speaker making Louis' eyes fill with tears.

"Harry!" Louis let out a choked sob when he finally got to hear his voice again.

"Lou! Baby, where are you? Are you and Ian okay?" Harry frantically asked and Louis could hear all of his family and friend's voices in the background

"W- We are and I don't know where I am...there's a lot of fields surrounding the cottage." Louis rushed out wanting to let Harry know that they were okay.

"You need to find out where you are so I can go get you both." Harry said seeing one of the police officers urging him to keep him on the phone.

"I can't talk, Collin will be back soon and he's going to be pissed. We love you okay, we lo-" Louis stopped talking when the phone was snatched away from him and when he turned around, a furious Collin was towering over them.

He smirked putting the phone on speaker making Louis cry when he heard Harry's desperate pleas for him to keep talking.

"Louis can't talk right now, he's too busy trying not to piss his pants." Collin laughed seeing Louis holding onto Ian as if he was his lifeline.

"You fucking son of a bitch! Let them go! I swear I'll kill you, I'll fucking kill you." Harry started shouting, even more when he heard Louis letting out a pained scream followed by Ian's cries.

"Let them go you bastard!" A female voice demanded and who Collin recognized as Jay.

"I don't think so. Goodbye Jay." Collin said before he hung up then turned to look at Louis with a hand over his right side where he had kicked him.

"You little whore. You're going to pay for this." Collin snarled throwing the phone against the wall hearing a crack before he walked away to the bedroom.

Louis stayed on the floor still in pain then his eyes widened when Collin came back out with a bag in each hand then walked outside leaving the door wide open. Louis never thought about running away. When he walked back inside he was once again holding a gun and aiming it at both Louis and Ian.

"Get up, we're leaving." Collin glared at him.

"Wh- Where are we going?" Louis stammered while trying to get up and not anger him even more but it seemed like he always did the wrong thing.

"Get up and get in the car! Strap your fucking kid in his seat and get in the car." Collin shouted making Louis flinch and as soon as he was standing he was pushed outside by Collin.

"He needs a sweater." Louis tried to go back into the house but Collin only pushed him forward.

"There's plenty in the car." Collin rolled his eyes.

Louis took his time to strap Ian in his car seat making sure it was placed correctly and Ian was safe in it. Once he deemed it safe enough he moved to get in the car and seat next to him but Collin stopped him by grabbing him by the arm. He was pushed to the passengers side then harshly shoved inside and once he was sitting, Collin shut the door rather harshly making Louis flinch again.

"Where are we going?" Louis asked again watching him pull out of the driveway and hearing Ian's babbles.

"We're getting out of here." Was all Collin said before giving him a look that clearly meant to shut up.

Louis didn't say anything else too scared to piss him off but as soon as he noticed they were almost out of the city, he started freaking out wondering if he'll ever see Harry again. He assumed Ian was sleeping when he couldn't hear him anymore. His hands started sweating and tears prickled his eyes and before he could stop it, the tears were already rolling down his cheeks.

"Why the hell are you crying!?" Collin rolled his eyes, "Don't be such a bitch, it's not like I'm killing your kid." Collin said making Louis cry harder.

"Please, just let him go. I'll go with you but please leave Ian behind. W- We can leave him back at the house then you can call Harry and tell him to pick him up. Please!" Louis started crying harder when Collin started laughing.

"You know, I fucking hate when you beg. I don't know what the hell I saw in you, you took forever to put out and now he's reduced you to a whiny bitch. Your son living in hell from now on is your punishment for leaving me for him." Collin said never taking his eyes away from the road.

"You're the one who ruined everything." Louis muttered.

"It was a fucking mistake!" Collin yelled managing to wake Ian up, his cries filling the car, "I was sorry but you...you went and fucking married him...you let him fuck you! You let him knock you up right away, that kid was never supposed to exist and I'll make sure he stops doing so once we get there. You better enjoy your last hours with him because this is the last time you will ever see him again."

"No..." Louis sobbed thinking the worst, "You're not taking my baby!"

"Shut up darling, I already have a couple who's interested in buying the kid. At least we'll get money out of it." Collin smirked then looked at Louis faking a sad smile, "Don't worry babe, it's better than killing him and burying him in the middle of nowhere." Collin gestured towards the fields surrounding them then started laughing.

"I hate you." Louis said before he punched him on the side of the face then reached for the steering wheel making the car swerve to the other side of the road.

"Let go!" Collin screamed trying to push him away but it was futile when Louis only held onto it tighter then scratched Collin's face making him scream, "You're gonna kill us!"

"Fuck you! You deserve to die!" Louis screamed not caring about anything else, he just wanted to put himself and his son out of their misery. He wanted to kill Collin.

He continued holding onto it while Collin tried to pry his hands off of it but it was too late when the car went off the road and into a ditch rolling a few times until it stopped at the bottom of it. One of the windows completely shattered and splattered with blood as the only sound across the fields were Ian's wails hanging upside down from his car seat.

Louis woke up with a groan feeling his neck hurting and when he opened his eyes all he could see was that everything upside down then the blood all over Collin. It was clear he hadn't been wearing a seatbelt when he was out of his seat and his head was placed all wrong along with his collar bone sticking out of him, it made him want to puke. He tried to move but couldn't wanting to get to Ian letting out a sob just by hearing his son's desperate and painful cries.

"Ia- Ian..." Louis weakly sobbed fighting the urge to close his eyes when he started seeing dark spots clouding his vision.

He looked to the side seeing nothing but hills up ahead believing that maybe there was peace there wanting nothing but to be there and stop feeling so much pain. And as he closed his eyes feeling desperate for not being able to help his son, he just wished someone would save him and take him to Harry. He slowly drowned in darkness unable to see or hear anything else hoping for Harry to know how much he loved him, that he felt the loss too.

He had hurt too.

Thoughts? :)
