The deafening scream kept ringing in my ears as I ran as fast as I could trying to keep up with Pyro. We eventually reached the person, and they were shaking in fear. I couldn't see what was happening, due to Pyro blocking the way with his arm. "Fuck, fuck fuck fuck." I heard him say, and I pulled his arm out of the way to see.

"Alice?" I whimpered. Tears were streaming down my cheeks. There, laying on the cold ground, was the bloody body of my sister. The person who was screaming earlier I recognised as my sister's girlfriend, Sophie. I fell onto my knees as I hugged Alice's lifeless face, crying softly. 

The minutes I remember after were all in a blur, except for Pyro. I could see him trying to drag me away, to try limit me from the amount of trauma I would experience.

But it was too late.

Far too late for that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I opened my eyes, I was at someone's apartment on a black leather couch, which was kinda comfy.

I blinked, trying to remember what happened. Then everything came back in a rush.

"H-hello?" I stuttered.

I heard a rustle, and then a familiar figure come into view.

"Hey." Pyro greeted, with a look of concern of his face.

I nodded in return, looking at the floor.

He sat next to me, so close that I could hear him breathe on my neck.

"You alright?" He asked.

"What does it look like?" I whispered back.

He placed an arm around my shoulders and I leaned into him.

"Wanna know something?" 

I shrugged. I wasn't in the curious mood.

"My actual name isn't Pyro, but Niall."

I laughed, and leaned more into him.

"And all this time I thought that it was some foreign name."

"Yeah, well I was kinda surprised that you believed me."

"Can I tell you something too?"

"Yep."

"I only really believed you because I thought you were the cutest thing I had ever seen."

There was a lingering silence, and my cheeks grew red.

I glanced at him, and he had a look of surprise on his face.

"Likewise." He muttered quietly, looking me directly in the eyes.

That's when he leaned in and placed his lips gently on mine, bringing a shiver throughout my body. I put a hand on his soft cheek to steady myself, and slowly kissed him back. He wrapped his arms around my neck, slowly kissing me until we both ran out of breath and pulled back.

That's when I knew I was in love.
