(Zay's POV)

"You kissed Issac today?" This was the first thing Ashton asked me, he was looking out the window when I kissed Issac. Ashton was giving me that stupid smile a parent gives you when you say you have a crush on someone.

"On the cheek. He was worried and jealous and you know, I'm not sure if it meant anything I just... One of those in the moment type things" I explained. Ashton rolled his eyes.

"Yeah well, you know how it is. Why was he jealous?" he asked. I shrugged, looking off at the wall and  thinking about the new kids we saw today.

"There were these two kids wondering about our school, apparently there going to be starting there. Issac and me were talking to them but the one was flirting with me so Issac was all upset about it," I explained, "he is such a smol bean"

"Yeah ok," Ashton said, "so who are these new kids?" He asked, I stretched my arms.

"I believe there names were Louis and Niall and they said they were from Britzton or something..." I explain. Ashton froze. Completely. He wasn't moving at all, and his eyes went for casual to terrified. He went pale and looked as white as a ghost.

"You ok?" I asked, Ashton gasped for air and turned to me.

"Stay away from those kids." He said, I narrowed my eyebrows at him.

"Why?" I retaliated.

"Britzton is a terrible place" he answered. I crossed my arms.

"What? What do you know about Britzton and why did you almost faint when I said the name?" I asked, Ashton was saved by his cell phone ringing and he didn't hesitate to answer it.

"Luke," is all I heard him say until he was out of the room and walking as far away from me as possible. I slouched in my chair, now confused. I had to talk to Issac. Ashton was still on the phone with Luke when I snuck out the door. I tip toed over to Issac's place and approached the door, going to knock but then realizing that wasn't a good idea. I snuck around the back and looked at Issac's window. It was open, music blaring. Think it was panic or something.

"Issac!" I whisper yelled, he didn't hear me.

"Issac!" I said it a bit louder now, he still didn't come to the window.

"Fine I'll go hang out with Niall and Louis then" I said in a normal, casual voice. The music was shut off and Issac appeared in the window sill.

"What's good?" He said, I smirked.

"Come outside were going to the park to chat" I said, Issac nodded and closed his window. Few seconds later he was walking towards me and I met him halfway.

"About what?" He asked, I gestured him across the street and towards the catwalk which lead to the park. I began to lead him around the street entirely, making sure we didn't walk in front of my house at all. He looked at me and raised an eyebrow.

"What going on? You look like someone who doesn't want to be caught" Issac said, I looked towards him.

"Because I don't. I snuck out" I said, Issac laughed loudly.

"No fair you already crossed one thing off your list?" Issac smiled. I remembered that 'sneak out' was one thing on my list but I wasn't to sure this counted. It was a first time though, so I guess in a way, it did. I nodded.

"Yeah, I'll make it official when I get back home" I said. Issac and me walked in silence until we walked threw the cat walk and down the park pathway where we got to a baseball diamond and sat on the bench together.

"So Zay tell me," Issac began, "what's good?" I cleared my throat.

"So get this, I brought up Niall and Louis to Ashton and he froze, told me that the place where the two are from - Brizton - is a terrible place. He said to stay away from them" I explained, issac pondered for a moment, pausing, taking a knee. The he took out his phone.

"You know what that means," he began to type something "were going to find out what this place is" he said, clicking on the google search button. The first thing that came up was a new article, one titled 'Town Of Britzton Abandon and Burned to the Ground' Issac looked at me, puzzled, then back at the search results. He a rolled. page after page, headline after headline, all the same thing. Small town of Britzton was burned to the ground there were not survivors.

But there was one page that caught Zay's attention. 'The Great Fire of Britzton - Survivor Footage and Identification' Zay clicked on it for Issac. Up popped a page with a video ready to be played.

"Do it" I said, and Issac did.

The video was shaky, caught by someone hiding somewhere. The video is of a ground of guys near a cliff, over looking the burning city. One of them is laying on the ground, ones near the cliffs edge, one has purple hair. The video has crappy sound, you can't hear what the people a are saying. Purple hair has a doll in his hand, like a plushy. He lights it on fire. The guy at the edge of the cliff burns away with the plushy. Screaming can be heard. The purple haired guy grabs another plushy out of his bag, says something. The guy laying on the floor gets up, they hug. Then all four of them watch the city burn away. And then turn and run off. The camera man zooms in and gets a clean shot of there faces. Me and Issac paused and stared. We stared and stared and did nothing but that.

Purple hair was Michael, Calum was next. Luke and Ashton were running off too. And that's when I almost fainted.
