The Dreams That Saved Mallory {One Direction FacFic Story!(: }

Life and Light

*Mallory's POV*

I woke up and I felt fine. That, unable to breathe thing passed over me. I looked at all my kidnappers in a new way. Yes, they kidnapped me, yes they should be in jail; yes, yes, yes. But they really hadn't harmed me that bad, and hadn't attempted anything of that nature. I realized I was lucky to be alive. One of the kidnappers, Guy C, looked familiar to me. I kept studying his face, trying to figure out who the heck he was. He shifted uneasily on his feet when it hit me. I started laughing, when I realized who I thought he had a strong resemblance to. Jakeb, Natalie's brother. But his eyes seemed to be the same shade of grey, and his hair that same "blondish fluff," as Jake and I said. He also has the same birthmark, a small crescent moon under his left cheek...Oh no. "Jakeb?" I said, and his eyes that met mine only confirmed his identity.

-Flashback-

"Stop it Jake! Stop it!"

"No! No! Just a-little longer!"

"Dang it, you always win!" I playfully punched Jake on the arm. "How come you always win Mario Kart?!?," I asked Jake mischievously. "Oh, I'm just used to da' girls chasin' me," he replied playfully. I leaned over and gave Jake a kiss, right when Natalie walked in. "Awkward having your best friend dating you twin bro?" Cora asked. I punched Cora lightly on the arm. "Uh, yeah," Nate started,but Jake and I cut her off with a "Hey!" She put her finger over my lips, as to silence me. "BUT yah get used to it," she said, putting lipstick on her lips. She sat on the edge of the bed where Jake and I were happily playing our summer afternoon away on Mario Kart. Jake turned to me, to face me. His grey eyes looked into mine. "Babe, do you love me?" I felt my stomach drop, he couldn't be breaking up with me, could he?!? I faked a smile. "Yeah, of-course. You should know that." I said with a smile. "Would you take a bullet for me?" I tried to hide the uneasiness from my eyes. "Yeah, of-course. I love you." "Do you want me to settle down with you, and for us to have our family together?" "This is getting too sickly sweet! Gag!" Nate whispered. "Yes, I want that very bad indeed," I said, and the tears started to fall. I didn't want to lose him. He put his hand on my cheek and wiped away the tears. "Babe, I would take a bullet for you, I love you, I want to have a family with you; but I gotta do this. We can't." "J-Jake? Are you...breaking up with me?" "There's only one thing to do." "Jake?!?" "This isn't the time or place for it." "Jake! Don't leave me please!" I cried out with desperation. Jake walked out of the room, leaving: Nate, Cora, and I alone in the room. "I can't believe he jus did that to you," Nate said, "You're all he talks about. ALL the time." Cora rubbed my back with sympathy. Then Jake entered the room, and it all went quiet. "This isn't the time or place, Mal," he got down on one knee, "but will you marry me?"

*Liam's POV*

"He's breathing! Breathing!" I screamed. The EMT's were able to bring Zayn back to life. "I'll...I'll...check on Harry," I tell all the other boys. I headed over to where Harry was being treated for his burns. Doc was just over there watching everything like we were all aliens. Trying to lighten the mood, I say: "Fuck You and run into a burning building?!? Original!" Harry grinned back at me, and Doc just shook his head. "Looks like everything's gonna be alright," Louis said and ruffled Harry's curls.

*Jakeb's POV*

Mal recognizes me. Which ruined the whole plan. She looks at me with disgust now, because I kidnapped her. I look at her ring finger, on her left hand. No ring. I wore the ring all the time, and I fingered it nervously. It's not the greatest feeling in the world when your fiancé hates you. Oh well. If she only knew what my whole purpose of me being here was to SAVE her. I was going to jump out of the van at the right time with Mal. Save her. I would even take a bullet for her. Doesn't she remember? Another guy who kidnapped her- Nathaniel- she seems to cling to, and he flirts with her. You know HOW HARD it is not to punch him in the face?!? I was never part of the 'Kidnap Mallory' plan in the beginning. I was just...

-Flashback-

I walked out of Chemistry 1, when I saw several men run over to Mallory and attack her. They were in black uniforms, and they were attacking my love. My fiancé. Of-course I reacted. One of the men who were slower than the others, I punched him hard and put on his uniform. "Wait up guys!" I called. The Boss guy, I think his name's James, rolled his eyes at me. "Hurry up, Valentine!" Then I left, thinking about throwing the ring on the ground for safe keeping, but thought against it. "I want her to remember I would take a bullet for her," I said to myself.

*Mallory's POV*

I snuggled closer to Nathaniel. I shot Jakeb, my fiancé who "Loved Me," or so he said, a look of disgust. He didn't look upset, but his eyes seem to cloud over with sadness and worry. I was tired of this nonsense. He didn't even love me. I stood up and walked right over to where Jakeb was standing. "I'm SO glad I didn't wear your stupid, gross, engagement ring you bought me!" Several eyebrows shot up. I began to see Jakeb panic, and I smiled a wicked smile. "Jakeb, I thought you loved me!" James walked over to me, his hand held a gun. "Lil' Miss Sunshine, this is Valentine." "No, his names Jakeb! He was engaged to me, and look, see, there's his engagement ring. DO you love me, or love me NOT?!? I think we all know yah love me NOTTT!!!" "Thank you Lil' Miss Sunshine, you see, now we know that this man is an imposter. Say goodbye to your fiancé, Valentine," James started to smile a wicked smile, "Oh, I mean, Jakeb." And just like that he shot him. "Jakeb!" I ran over to where to Jakeb was shot, looking into his grey eyes. "What have I done?" I said to myself, and Jakeb smiled. He handed me his engagement ring, and said "I told you I-I'd t-take a b-bullet for you. 'Member?" I smiled at me, tears falling. "Yes, I remember." He gave me one of his beautiful smiles, and just like that, he was gone.
