Niall's POV

*******

 I hear and incessant beeping interrupting my sound slumber. Somehow my brain registered that it was not from inside me dream but from reality.   I jerk awake and look around.  I see El also sitting up off of Emily.  The hospital hallway is full of panic.   There are people running all over the place.  Nurses and doctors yelling things that I do not understand back and forth.   Then I realize that the lighting looks strange.  Only the emergency lights are on.  The ever so slight smell of smoke is lacing the air.  I see Perrie has joined us in the waiting area, and hasn't woken up yet.  Em and El are sitting next to me looking around.  A nurse comes over, "Could one of you give us a hand?"  I am about to offer to help but Em beats me to it.  As she gets up the nurse turns to the rest of us," Get her awake and all of you out of the building NOW!" 

Before Em leaves with her she turns to El,"Get them out of here and no matter what do not let them come back in and neither do you. Understand?  I will try to help everyone else out."  My brain is spinning then it hits me. The building is on fire, and Em is going to risk not making it out just to help the others.  I want to protest but she is already down the hall with the nurse, and El's hand is pushing me to my feet, waking up Perrie and guiding us to the stairs.  The farther we get down the stairs the thicker the smoke is in the air.  Soon it is extremely hard to breathe, I try pulling my shirt over my mouth and it helps for a minute.  

Perrie trips on something.  Looking down I see that it is an arm, sticking out from a pile of rubble.  She falls taking us with her.  We are so close to the doors.  My arms are burning, I see El trying to pull Perrie with her towards the door.  There is a horrible screech of metal bending and breaking.  I hear the girls scream and look just in time to see a beam falling down, within a split second everything goes black.

Emily POV

***************

 Everything erupted into a flurry of panic.  There was medical staff running in all directions.  As I head into the first room I glace back at the others and pray that they make it.  I realize we are in Harry's room.  He is awake and very confused.  Everyone ignores his questions and just secure his bed.   They roll him out of the room and up to the roof where they have helicopters coming to pick up the ICU patients.  I run out into the hall to try and push getting the other boys out of there.  Before I get very far I run into Liam.

"Oh my gosh Emily!  What is going on?"

"Liam I need you to get Dani into a wheel chair or something and get her to the roof now.  Get out of here and do not come back in."

"Why? Where are the others?"

"I don't know, the building is on fire. We don't have time Liam, go get Dani and go please I will work on getting the others out."  He heads back into his room as fast as he can and helps a nurse get Dani into a chair.  He takes her and books it up to the roof.  No longer worried about them I head over to Louis.  There is now smoke clouding the air and I can hear people coughing.  I walk into Lou's room and ask the nurse how I can help.  She shows me how to swap all the machines to the emergency batteries and we slowly take him out of the room.  In the hall Zayn is just getting to the elevator to go to the roof.  I am having a hard time taking breathes, my vision is blurry and narrowing.  When the elevator is coming back it gets stuck.  The doors are hot and there is a loud bang.  The fire has reached the backup generators.  

I am officially frantic.  The nurse guides us to the stairwell where they pull the wheels up off of his bed.  Some doctors come to carry him up the stairs.  Slowly I follow behind. I can hear screams of fear and pain coming from behind me.   There is intense heat rising up the stairs bringing insane amounts of smoke.  I can feel myself going down, as my vision starts to fade I think of Niall and find the last ounce of my strength to pull myself up the last steps.  

On the roof I assume the others have made it off though I am not coherent enough to tell for sure.  A helicopter comes and takes Lou.  Just as it takes off I see pieces of the roof falling into the building.  I go and sit as far away from that spot as possible and accept that I may never get off of here.
