Just Cant Get Away (L.T Fanfic)

I Pinky Promise

Louis' POV;
Worry started to fill me as we searched for Zayn. The fire was getting larger and we couldn't go that far back without getting burned or caught in it. Everyone was about to give up when we heard someone coughing from the corner of the room.We all went over and saw the familiar head of black hair underneath the rubble.I pushed some rubble away and saw his slacked jaw, eyes closed and face stained black with ashes.
"Zaynie?" Niall mumbled as he pushed back Zayns dirty, sweaty hair and then he felt for a pulse his bottom lip trembling softly as he frantically checked his wrist too for a pulse. Tears were brimming in his sky blue eyes and he bite his lower lip to stop it from quivering any more. I shook my head not believing what Niall was implying and I pushed the pieces of broken wood off Zayns body noticing the blood that pooled under him. His chest was sunken in, obviously crushed from the impact breaking his ribs, his one leg was turned at a strange angel and he had a deep cut on his shoulder blade.
"N-no.." I stutter out as I back away from his body my head spinning. I felt my back hit the wall and I slowly slid down gripping my hair in my fingers. Out of everyone I was the closet to Zayn. He trusted me the most to protect him and now he's dead.
"It's all my fault..it's all my fault..it's all my fault," I mumbled over and over as I took in shaken breathes of tainted air. In my state of panic I felt someone grasp my face and I was suddenly staring into a pair of deep emerald green eyes.
"Lou it wasn't your fault, Hell it was no ones, but we got to keep moving do you here me?" He said sternly and I nodded my head standing up on my shaking feet.
"You're right, let's go guys were already wasting time by standing around," I buried my emotions deep down keeping my eyes off his lifeless body and ahead of me.
"Where are we going to go?" Kim questioned staring at the crumbling ceiling trying to hide the fear in her eyes.
"Wherever we have to in order to stay alive."
We've been walking for over an hour now and we were all exhausted. I was leading everyone along with Harry when I heard a sniffle from the back of the group. I told Harry to keep moving forward and I made my way to the sound. Niall was stumbling along while frantically wiping away stray tears.
"Nialler?" I looked at him and put my hand on his shoulder, "what's the matter?"
"We're all going to die aren't we Lou?" He whispered in a small voice sounding just like a scared child when they thought monsters were real. I was quiet for a moment trying to think of a response. I wasn't even certain that we weren't going to die here.
"I'll try my hardest to make sure that doesn't happen Niall," I finally answered, "I pinky promise." Niall wrapped his pinky around mine and gave me a watery smile.
"I believe you," was all he said before his leg gave out on him and let out a cry.
