The Firefighter (Liam Payne Fanfic)

Chapter 5

I open my eyes to find the most beautiful boy, carrying me out of my house. Then, I drift off again.

---------------------------------

I wake up in a very bright, white room.

"Laura?...Ashton, wake up! I think she's awake!"

"What..."

"I think Laura's waking up!....Laura, can you hear me?"

"Carly! Go get the doctor!"

I hear foot steps running on a tile floor, followed by a door opening.

"Argh, what time is it," was all that came out of my mouth.

I hear a familiar, friendly laughter. I rolled around on my left side finding Ashton by my side.

"Hey, there. You better slow down. Your badly injured, you know. And it's 9 am."

"Ugh, what happened to me? Where am I?"

A doctor and a nurse walks in.

"Your in the hospital. I'll tell you what happened later. I'm gonna go get breakfast."

Ashton leaves the room. The doctor just checks up on me and asks if I feel okay. The doctor leaves me to take a rest, but I couldn't sleep. So, I decided to try and remember what happened until Ashton came back.

Instead of Ashton coming back, Carly came in.

"Hey, there girlie! You feeling okay?"

"Yeah, I'm feeling fine. Where's Ashton?"

"Ashton's still eating his breakfast, he's practically eating his lunch, too.

"Of course he is. So, what happened?"

"Well, what do you remember?"

"I don't know. Everything is a blur. I remember being trapped in a basement and there was smoke and seeing someone carrying me out of the house. How long was I here?"

"Your right about being trapped in the basement. Well, long story short...Laura, your house was on fire like really, badly on fire. Luckily, I came to your house on time. I was going to return your hoodie you let me borrow last week because I forgot to give it to you at school and I saw smoke coming from your house and I saw your dad sneaking out. And he ran to his car and drove away. I called 911, but still you were badly injured. You had a concussion and you were slightly burnt. And you were at this hospital for about a week now."

"So, my dad did actually try to kill me..."

"Yeah, he did. I'm sorry."

I began to cry.

"It's okay, Laura."

Carly pulled me in for a hug.

"B-b-but it's not....my mom is dead and...and m-my dad-ad tried to kill me and my house is gone...I have nothing left..."

"You still have me and Ashton."

The next hour was silent with me sobbing and Carly comforting me until I fell to sleep
