The Horror//Z.M

Fire

☠EDITED☠

Shitty chapter? I think yes.

Cassie's POV:

Zayn takes my hand and pulls me into the middle of the room, "No, Zayn." I deny, not wanting to dance.

"Come on." He grins.

Rolling my eyes, I reluctantly go out. As soon as we step out, and dance for a bit, Louis runs over to Zayn, wide eyes.

"What?" Zayn asks.

"T-There's-" Louis about to finish, but our answers are all soon answered. Everyone ducks, and screams as fire blows through a window.

"Shit." Zayn murmurs.

"Everyone!" He screams, catching everyone's attention. "Go out the nearest exit, and get out."

All follow his orders except Louis, and I. He glares at me, "Go."

"No, I'm not just leaving you."

"I don't want Luke to find you. Fucking go!" He tells me.

I bite my lip as I scurry towards the exit everyone went through. Then, I abruptly stop as the ceiling starts falling.

Zayn grabs my arm, "Go out the back way, you know your way."

I nod, and run through the rooms doors, Zayn and Louis following. We all run down the hall, and stop when it comes down to two halls.

"Cassie, you go. Louis, and I will find Niall and Harry and go outside afterwards."

"What if they're already outside?"

"We have to make sure." Zayn grabs me, and pulls me into a hug, "I love you."

"Don't you fucking dare. Don't say I love you as a goodbye." I whimper.

He smiles weakly, "I love you, Cassie Collins." Then, he nudges me down the hall.

"I love you, too." Then, I'm running down the hallway. I take a deep breath as I sprint down the hallway with my room, the hallway Liam threatened me.

A shriek escapes my mouth as I'm grabbed, and pushed against the wall. I look up and see Luke, "Hey, beautiful."

Liam stands behind him, "Let me go!"

"No."

"Why did you do this?" I ask.

"Simply claiming what's mine."

He grabs me with much force, and pulls me down the hallway forcefully. "No, let go!"

"Shut up." Luke hisses. I stumble back as a large body knocks into Luke. Looking over, I see Zayn.

"You aren't welcome here, Luke."

"I know. That makes it more thrilling, though." He grins. The curtains behind them catch flame.

Luke pushes Zayn with lots of force, and Zayn stumbles back, his black top almost making contact with the fire. I hear a yelp, and turn around to see a Niall with a black eye, Harry, and Louis.

Niall, and Harry are holding Liam's arms behind his back as Louis punches him in his face and stomach.

"This is for everything." Louis growls.

Instead of standing there like a helpless girl, I run over to Zayn and Luke. I stop in my tracks as I see Luke pushing Zayn closer to the fire, but Zayn uses all his might to push back.

I go behind Luke, and tap him on his shoulder, he turns around. Zayn understands what I'm about to do and steps out of the way, wiping his bloodied lip.

His eyes are wide as I furrow my eyebrows, "I'm not yours, asshole."

And, with all my strength, I push him into the flames. His body falls back into them, and he screams in pain at the contact of fire. Zayn, and I back up and call for the rest of the boys.

Louis pouts, "What do we do with him?"

"Leave him."

And, they do. We all start jogging towards the back exit, Zayn and I as Louis, Harry and Niall exit. The house starts falling in as we run as fast as we can.

My heart pumps fast as I believe this is the end. There is no way Zayn, and I will make it. We get closer to the exit as it starts falling in.

Before I can comprehend it, Zayn pushes me with all his might through the door before it falls. I trip, and fall to the dirt ground, skidding my palms and knees.

I look behind my back to see Zayn didn't make it out. Standing in shock, a fire man grabs my arm, and drags me to where everyone else is.

Eleanor's POV:

My eyes widen as I see a large mansion on fire. Slowing down to get a better look, I see firemen using a hose to try to stop the fire.

Stopping my car, and getting out to move closer to the house, I stop dead in my tracks. My heart pounds, and tears fill up in my eyes, as I see my love sitting on the back of an ambulance, a plaid blanket wrapped around his body.

I start walking towards him, but before I know it, I'm running. His eyes snap up as I get closer. Louis jaw drops open as he see's me.

"Oh my god." I mutter, embracing him.

"El, I missed you so fucking much." He says, tears running down his cheeks.

Cassie's POV:

I sit on the back of an ambulance, a blanket wrapped around me. Looking over, I see a girl and Louis kissing.

I turn my head to see the mansion burned to the ground. A police man walks by and I stop him, "Excuse me, have you found Zayn Malik yet?"

He licks his lips, "No, I'm sorry. We would've found him already. We have reason to believe he's dead."

My bottom lip quivers as many tears fall down my cheeks. "What would happen if he were alive?"

"Jail." He replies.

"For how long?"

"Life, probably."

I look down and nod, "Okay."

Zayn was dead.
