Nialls POV
"No!" I shout. I am overcome with an abnormal amount of strength. I rip away from Zayn, Liam, and Louis in a matter of seconds. Unfortunately, everything happened in a matter of seconds. As soon as I am free, Jess already had the mask on her face.I didn't know what to do. It all happened so quickly.
She opened her eyes and looked at me. Everything was frozen. We just kept looking at each other. For a few seconds, nothing happened. Everyone looked around. Looked at Jessica. Then, a portal opens from the ground. Jess didn't move even though she was close to it. I tried with every ounce of strength in my body to move. Take the mask away from her. But I can't move. I'm stuck.
"See you in a hundred years." Sinkara shrugs before she is sucked away into the portal. I look over to Jessica. Blackness has surrounded her. I can't see her body at all. It's all black. It takes a few seconds for anything to happen. The blackness fades disappears. Jess is laying on the floor. Her eyes are open. The portal disappears just as quickly as it came. Everything is silent.
"Jess!" I shout running over to her. Her eyes are open. She's not dead yet.
Yet.
"Jess! Wake up!" I say shaking her. She's looking at me. She's just not saying anything.
"Jess!" I say through tears.
She saved me.
"Please! Wake up!" She's not moving.
"Niall." Someone says behind me. I ignore it. I keep shaking her. Her eyes are open. Shea looking at me. That has to mean that she's still alive. Her lips are blue. She's cold. I take my jacket off and put it over her like a blanket.
"Niall!" They say again. I stand up.
"We have to call someone. A-An ambulance. Zayn you have your phone. Call them!" I order. They don't do anything. Everyone is frozen. Either looking at me or at her.
"Zayn!" Maybe he can't hear me
"We can't call anyone." He says.
"Yes we can! Just dial the numbers and tell them that she's dying!"
"No, Niall, we can't, they'll take us all to a crazy house! What are we suppose to tell them? Because we can't tell them the truth!" Zayn says.
It was in that moment that reality sets in.
She's dead.
"Name one weird thing that you do." She asks me.
"Just one? I have so many." I joke.
"Well name one that you do on a daily basis, then."
"Um..." I think. "Whenever I go to the bathroom, I look in the shower to see if anyone is hiding in there."
"Everyone does that, Niall." She responds smiling.
"Well, what happens when one day, you forget to check?" I ask
"Then that will be the day that someone will be hiding." We laugh. "Your turn."
"What's the one thing that you fear the most?" I ask. I have been wanting to ask that question for a while but never had the guts to. Until now.
"Death. Having someone close to me die. Having to choose between me or them. Having to sacrifice myself."
Ever since that moment, I have wanted to protect her from everything she fears.
I failed.
"This is all your fault." I say directing my attention to Harry. I waste no time going up to him and punching him square in the jaw. He grabs his jaw as he falls to the floor. Something overcomes me and all I can think about is hurting Harry the way he Jessica.
"Niall. Niall. Niall! Stop!" Everyone tries to get me off of him. But for a while, it doesn't work. Only until I give up.
"She's gone."
