He Saves You //Zayn//

(Omg, I ordered pizza the other day and usually the pizza delivery guy isn't that cute so I didn't care about how I looked like. But omg I went to go open the door and I couldn't open the screen door. Of course it had to be the day the pizza guy was beautiful. He looked like Harry and Zayn combined. I'm so done with life. My mom had to come open the door for me. So embarrassed FML)

"In about an ten minutes we will begin our annual purge. For 24 hours there will be no laws or rules. Crime will be legal during that period of time. Thank you for participating in the purge." You stared at the radio in disgust. You hated the purge ever since you were a little girl. You got up from your bed and walked to the window. All down the block you could see people preparing for the purge. Most people stayed inside their house in fear of being killed/robbed.
"Y/n? Did you lock your windows?" Your mother asked you. You nod as you closed your window, walking back to your bed. "Good, come join us downstairs." Your mother suggested. You shook your head, climbing into your bed.
"I'm really tired... I'm just going to sleep through the purge." You told her. She eyed you but then said nothing.
"Well, alright, just call if you need something." She walked out your room, closing the door behind her. Once you no longer heard her steps, you jumped out of bed. You slipped on some sneakers and grabbed your jacket. You quickly put it on and went to your window. You pushed it open and climbed out. Carefully you walked across the roof to the side of the house. Once at the edge you began to climb down. You landed on the ground safely.
"Now we will being the countdown to the purge," the voice came on again. You threw your hoodie up as you ran through your yard. You climbed the fence and snuck through the other house's yard. You walked quickly down the block, keeping a watch for anyone behind you.
"Ten."
You saw the lights turn off in the houses.
"Nine."
People were running to their homes.
"Eight."
Your foot made small clicking sounds as you scurried through the neighborhood.
"Seven."
You started to breathe harder, glancing behind you
"Six."
You looked at the time on your phone.
"Five."
Your heart was beating fast in your chest.
"Four."
You leaned on the wall of an abandoned building.
"Three."
You took of your hood, ruffling your hair.
"Two."
You felt you jacket pocket. Your dad's gun was there.
"One."
You gripped it tightly.
"Zero. Start the purge."
You looked around, expecting the criminals to come running out, but you were met with silence. You licked your lips as you started to walk. You were cautious about your surroundings though. Just as you were rounding the corner, you heard the sound of laughter.
"Please...please...don't kill me." You heard someone beg. You gulped as you peered your head around the corner to look. There were maybe at most 5 boys. They all had masks on their faces. You could see a female on the ground, covering her face. She probably was on her way from work and didn't make it home before the purge. You cringed when one of the guys punched her in the face. You looked away and took off running in the other direction. After about five minutes of running you reached the town square. You bent over a bit to catch your breath, when you looked up you saw a blazing fire in one of the stores. Another was getting ransacked. You ran to a car and ducked behind it. You heard someone run by it and you smacked your hand over your mouth to keep quiet. You had no idea why you had left your house. You were starting to think it was a bad idea. Once you were sure the people were gone, you stood up. You started making your way to the park. You looked around the town, it was way too quiet.
"Woohoo!" You heard the engine of a car. You began to panic. You looked around, there was nothing to hide behind. "Over there, look!" You turned and saw the car coming right towards you. The same boys who were tormenting the girl were waving a bat and laughing. The only option you had left was to run, so you did. You pushed yourself to run extremely fast, the park would be your best option cause it would be too dark for them to find you. Just as you were almost there, you were tackled to the ground. You screamed but the person slapped a hand over your mouth.
"Shhhh," he told you, but you bit down hard on their hand. They let out a curse and stood up, pulling you with them.
He pulled you into a door that he began to lock once you guys were inside. "I'm not going to hurt you." He handed you a flashlight and began to lead you through a tunnel. You hesitantly followed behind him to a back room. He sat down in a chair, grabbing a can of soda.
"I'm Zayn." He took off his jacket, "Want one?" You said no, as you looked around the room.
"What is this place?" You asked curiously, you walked over to the monitors. They seemed to be cameras placed all around the area. Zayn took a sip of his drink.
"I'm like the watchman, I keep a look out for this building." You sat down, taking off your jacket.
"What's this building?"
He smiled, "My family's law firm."
You stared at him. "We've sent a lot of people away so this would be the first place that gets targeted." He explains. You looked at him confused.
"How will you protect it?"
He pointed to some buttons. "They are connected to some wiring outside of the building. I could easily electrocute anyone I want." He said. You nodded pretty impressed. "What's your name?"
You played with the end of your hair, "Y/n, thanks for saving me."
"No problem."
