Liam's POV

"I hope they worked things out," I said taking a sip of my sprite. Zayn was sitting next to me, head on the counter, passed out from running down all those stairs. There was a lot! I ran down them as well. Honestly, I don't know my I didn't take the elevator. Harry beat me anyways. 

"Don't worry about it Liam. Knowing Harry, he's probably already up there playing games with her or something... Don't take it that way. . ." I let out a loud laugh and patted the Bradford Bad Boi on the back. Always a laugh when we are trying to have a serious conversation.

"Do you think we should-" I began. 

"Liam! Zayn!" We heard Carter yell. Her face was as white as a ghost. Fear struck through her skin and she was shaking like a mad man. 

"Carter what happened? Wheres the others?" I asked trying to get her to answer me.

"You're overwhelming her! Carter babe, where are the others? Are you alright?" She had a gash in her arm that looked like it was going to need stitches. 

"They're in trouble!" She finally got out. 

"I'm going up there. Stay with Carter!" I said running for the elevator. The ride up seamed like forever.  Would have been smart to have a lower level bedroom. Once I got up there, the door to our room was open. I walked in to find it a mess! Things were scattered everywhere and some were broken. No No No!

"Harry? Niall? Louis?" I called out. Nothing. Please no! 

"And don't try to touch her again!" I heard Louis yell.

"Guys?" I said coming into the room. I came in to find a man tied up and completly knocked out. Harry was tighting the ropes around his arms as Niall tied the feet. Louis must have been the ring leader in this. 

"We need to get Carter out of here. The man had a bomb." Louis slid past me and made a run for the door. 

"A BOMB?!" I yelled following him. Harry and Niall trailed behind me. "How long do we have?"

"Five mintues. Just try to get as many people out of the hotel as fast as we can!" Once on the main hall we began moving people out the doors. It was a panic. 

"Where's Carter and Zayn?" I asked searching for the two. 

"They're still inside!" Louis yelled. At this point there was maybe a few seconds till the building blew to peices. 

"I'm going in," Harry stated. 

'"Harry yo-"

"That's my sister. I'm going in for her!" Harry snapped back at me. We all let him go. 

Please get her Harry.

Zayn's POV


"What happened?" I asked looking at her cut arm.

"The guy from the house was at the door.. Before we had time to react, he smacked Louis across the head and dove right for me. Harry pulled me and threw me towards the door making me trip over Louis and break a vase on the side table. Niall helped me to my feet and thats when I ran for you guys," She replied covering her arm. "I'm so sorry." She broke out into tears. 

"Why are you sorry hun?" I asked taking her hand in mine. "It wasn't your fault. This could have happened anywhere."

"If I didn't come, you guys wouldn't have to watch me all the time. You guys wouldn't be getting hurt. You guys woudn't have to cancel the summer tour. I feel terrible."

"Carter, that doesn't matter anymore. We love you. We don't care about any of this. All we want is to keep you safe. We have talked to managment and they don't care either. Not only do we care, but the directioner family does too. They know you're Harry's sister. And everyday StayStrongCarter is trending. Don't put yourself down because of this." Her face didn't have tears anymore but had tear stains. Her brown eyes sparkled when the tears hit her face. No matter the situation, she was beautiful. 

"It's hard. . ." Is all she said. I understand she's been through a lot. And she won't believe me now, but one day. When she is strong and healthy, she will understand. 

"Carter? Zayn?" We heard Harry yell. He came into the private room we were sitting in with a face of worry on his face. "We need to go." 

"Harry! I can't move!" Carter yelled. "I can't move my ancle!" With that Harry pickd up the helpless girl and ran for the door. 

"What's going on Haz?" I asked trying to keep up. 

"That guy had a bomb." My eyes got wide as a got better speed. I was ahead but not by a lot. Once outside, Louis and the others were in the van waiting for us. I jumped in and helped Harry and Carter.

"GO!" Liam yelled. With that, Louis pressed the gas and took off. 

"Where are we going?" I asked as I tried to find a spot in the seatless van. 

"I don't know yet," Is what Louis commented. 

"We need to go to the police!" Liam yelled. 

"They didn't believe us about the two men! Think they're going to believe we were attacked by an armed man the blew up a hotel?" Harry yelled. Liam became quite as did the others.

Carter's POV

I was lying against Harry's chest when I was awoken. My arm had been bandaged same as my ancle. I felt like a helpless puppy. Niall was in the corner, snuggled in a small blanket as Liam was asleep on Zayn's shoulder who was also passed out. Everyone was asleep. I don't blame them. If it wasn't for my phone rining, I would have stayed asleep as well. 

"Hello?" I asked in a whisper.

"Oh thank god you're okay," I heard my cousins voice say on the other end. 

"Courtney?" I asked confused.

"I saw on the news! Everyone thinks you guys are dead!" Courtney explained. "What happened? How did you guys escape the hotel?"

"It's a long story." 

She let out a sigh as she tried to keep herself from crying. "I'm just happy you are alive."

"Yeah. . ." I trailed off. 

"I need you to tell me where you are. I'm coming out." Was she serious? She wasn't even done with her movie. 

"I don't know exactly where we are but I will call you when we stop," I lied. Right now, I couldn't trust anyone. Not my cousin. Not Anne. Not even the police. 

"Okay. Listen I have to go. Call me as soon as you get somewhere safe!" She hung up before I could answer. 

"Who was that?" Harry asked sitting up. His hair was in a mess of curls. I could barley see his eyes. 

"Umm... My cousin. She's freaking out." He laughed and laid back down. A couple of minutes later we were stopped in a dark. 

"We're here!" Louis yelled. We hopped out the back to find ourselves in a dark forest. "My family owns a cabin up here. We can stay till we figure things out." 

"I feel like this is some kind of horor movie and we have to hide from the killers," I said walking in to the cabin. Of course, It's extremly nice. 

"Kind of is Carter," Liam stated. Jeeze way to scare me Liam. 

"Guess we better get cozy," Harry said crashing into a single seat. I was about to sit down when Niall pulled me into his arms on the longer couch. I was a litting shocked but soon snuggled in his chest. He placed a sweet kiss on my nose as he tightend his grip. 

"Goodnight Carter," He said into my ear. I smiled at his touch. I felt safe in his gras. Like this whole situation brought us together. Closer than friends. At least I hope more than friends. I could be wrong.
