Bella's Point Of View:

Zayn drives carefully and slowly through the storm, him focusing on the road and me scanning the roads for Justin. We've been driving for hours that feel like days now and still haven't found him. 

"We're not going to find him." I sigh, biting down on my lip to stop myself from starting to cry. I can't help but think the worst in situations like this because usually, my thoughts seem to be pretty accurate. Zayn fidgets anxiously in his seat, his hands tightly gripping the steering wheel. His eyes don't leave the windy roads in front of him as he sighs before speaking to me.

"We will, Bella. We'll find him. We have to." He breathes, continuing to take the slow and steady drive down the road. I can't help but think this is all my fault. It is my fault. If I hadn't made him angry.. If I had just for once thought about someone other than myself then Zayn and I wouldn't be searching for him right now. I'd probably be snuggled in bed with Justin watching a movie. But I'm not. He's missing and we're never going to find him at this rate. If he's hurt, I'll lose the boy I love. And Zayn will lose his best friend, all because of me..

Zayn's Point Of View:

I shift concernedly in my seat, not letting my eyes leave the road. I'm so worried about Justin. At first I thought he'd gone off in one of his pissy moods like he usually would but when he didn't come back, his car had gone and I found out he hadn't spoken to anyone, I started to panic. I know how he can get when he's angry or upset. And he can't control it. 

We've been driving for almost two hours now and it's almost 1am. Both Bella and I have been silent for the majority of the drive, our main focus on looking for Justin. 

"Look!" Bella gasps, and I look to see her pointing towards to end of the road. I squint and slow down a little in the car, before spotting Justin's car on the side of the road, flipped over. Shit.

I slam my brakes on before rushing out of the car and running over to Justin's, Bella following closely behind. I spot a lorry, not far from Justin's car and the man is nowhere to be seen. I ignore it and continue running over to Justin's car.

I stop and turn to Bella. "Stay here, okay? I need to check it's safe." She surprisingly obliges and stands shivering in the freezing rain as I approach Justin's car. I call his name. No answer. I kneel down by the drivers seat and look through the window to see Justin, unconscious and covered in blood. 

"Call an ambulance!" I yell to Bella, and she fumbles for her phone before phoning. 

"They said they'll be here as soon as possible" she shouts over the storm, covering her other ear with her hand to try and block the noise. 

"How fucking long is that?" I shout impatiently. 

"Ten to fifteen minutes." She whispers fearfully and runs over to me as she hangs up the phone, despite me telling her to stay there. Ten to fifteen minutes isn't fucking quick enough, and it looks like I will have to try and get him out. 

"I'm going to try and pull him out of the window." I inform her before smashing his car window and reaching into the car. The ear-shattering noise of the car alarm sounds and Bella covers her ears before trying to shout over it.

"They said not to try and get him out!" she strains her voice over the deafening noise. I ignore her and continue trying.

"It might increase his injury!" she screams, and I feel her pull my sleeve but resist causing her to fall on the ground. In a panic I leap up and help her up.

"I'm sorry" I exclaim, "I just. I hate not being able to help him. Fuck!" I tug at my hair in frustration and pace back and forth next to Justin's car, before the deafening car alarm is blocked out by the sound of ambulance sirens making their way towards us.
