the zone ➸ ziam [completed]

epilogue.

A gunshot is present soon after.

And it's for a moment that everything seems to freeze as everyone in the room stares in alarm at the gun that was fired.

Zayn cries out though, jumping in fright when he feels the gun hit his head and soon after sees Louis fall down beside him, straight to the floor. He screams as he sees the blood seeping out around him.

He's jumping in fright when he hears four more gunshots in the room. He puts his head in his still tied up hands, covering them with his knees as he cries and waits for all of the gunshots to cease.

"Zayn, Zayn baby, c'mon we have to leave." Liam calls out, pulling Zayn up and untying the knot on the rope.

He looks up startled at Liam who's breathing heavily as he tries to untie the knot. "You shot him? D-did you shoot Louis?"

Liam nods his head quickly, "Had a gun down my pants the whole time. I just needed to get myself out of the ropes before I could finally shoot. A-and to fućking wrap m-my head around all this."

Zayn looks around at all the bodies laying on the floor, feeling queasy at the sight of all the unmoving bodies.

Zayn lets out a whimper when he sees blood coating Liam's jean-clad thigh. "Yo-You're shot Liam," Zayn stutters out, shaking his head when Liam tries to calm him down.

"We have to leave, baby. We have to get out of here now," Liam states, holding Zayn's head in his hands as he makes Zayn look straight at him.

Zayn nods his head before he's gasping and pulling away, "Dad." He whips around, his heart stopping when he sees his dad laying on the ground, not moving at all.

"Dad!" Zayn cries, dropping next to his dad's body, letting out a heart wrenching sob when he hears his dad let out a soft groan. Zayn covers the gunshot wound on his right shoulder with his hand.

"Liam, what do I do?" Zayn cries out, turning around to look at his boyfriend, who's shot in his own thigh.

Liam shakes his head with his face twisted in pain as he walks on his leg. He tears off some of Harry's shirt and wraps it around his shot wound before he's groaning as he picks up Harry and throws him over his shoulder.

"We have to leave now, Zayn. We need to get help." Liam huffs out, walking as fast as he can to the front door, Zayn follows quickly after wiping the tears away from his eyes.

"We need a phone. We need to get to a hospital."

Zayn nods his head, looking around the outside where there is nothing. He can see the car they rode in though and he's quick to lead Liam to the car.

"You have to drive Zayn, drive us." Liam huffs out, breathing heavily as he drops Harry onto the backseat.

Zayn shakes his head, "I don't know where we are Liam!"

"Just drive Zayn, just drive till we see someone who can help us!"

Zayn nods and wipes away at the tears that seem to keep falling down his cheeks. He starts the car quickly thankful that those big men were dumb bough to keep the keys inside the car, driving away hastily as he looks beside him to Liam who's pressing down at the bleeding wound and back to his dad who is laying unconscious.

He doesn't want to think about how much of a long shot it's going to be to keep his dad alive before they find somewhere or someone to help them and get Liam and Harry to a hospital. He cries because he doesn't want to be without his dad especially not after just learning about all the things he did about his mother.
