Niall's pov

The boys and I just jumped in my car as it started raining. I was going to follow the girls but they seem to have left already. As I pull onto the road we hear sirens approaching. The sound grew louder as other got closer then passed us. An ambulance followed by a police car zoomed by. The rain had gotten harder a few minutes before so it was hard to see. I kept driving, fighting to see through the rain pounding on the windshield. In the distance I could see where cars had stopped—looks like a wreck. I heard Harry gasp and mumble something under his breath as he glared out the window, seeming to see past the rain. "What is it? " I question his worried expression.

"Niall.." He said slowly, "Isn't that Jessica's car? " Worry laced in his words as they strained from his lips. My breath hitched in my throat as I squinted into the darkness.

"Oh my God "

Harry's pov

Niall sped up to approach the scene and came to a screeching halt. We both jumped from the car and ran to the crashed vehicles. We were both suddenly stopped by two bulky officers. "Hey buddy, you can't go past the tape. " He tried restraining me as he referred to the yellow tape behind him. Seeing that tape being rolled out scared me to death, I had only seen that tape when someone died. My heart sank as I tried explaining to him.

"Please! O-our girlfriends are in that car! Please! Please let us through! " The officers looked at each other, debating whether or not to let us through.

"I'm sorry, boys. But we can't let anyone through. " He tried explaining but Niall became angry. He pushed the officer harshly and ran past him. It distracted the officer who was restraining me also, giving me the chance to run past him, under the tape, and to the car. A little relief washed over me as I saw they weren't trapped in the car—paramedics had them ready to be put on gurneys ready to roll into the ambulance. I reached Carlie and it felt like my heart shattered into a million pieces. Her face was being splashed from the water droplets falling. A small cut was on the side of her cheek. I leaned over her body, my face covering hers from the rain. My tears dropped on her face as did the drops from my wet curls. I looked over to paramedics tending to Jessica, trying to carefully lift her onto a gurney and trying to keep Niall out of the way long enough to do so. My gaze returned back to my unconscious angel lying beneath me. I didn't think the pain could grow anymore until I looked down at her belly. I looked past it and saw blood—blood all over her lap. I placed my shaking hand on her stomach, the baby wouldn't kick me like normal. There was nothing. I panicked, I was so scared, I was so scared, I didn't know what to do...I started screaming.

Niall's pov

At the hospital I was still shaking. I was cold and wet but most of all afraid. When I reached Jessica her body seemed so limp and cold. I held her so tightly, praying she would wake up. I didn't want to let go when the paramedics told me to, the only thing that made me let go was knowing they were her chance of living. What scared me even more was when Harry screamed and I saw him cry. I have never seen Harry cry and it shook me so much to know he was as scared as me. The palm side of Harry's hand was covered in blood that slowly washed away from the rain we stood in. The only person keeping me sane right now is Liam. He's been reassuring me through this whole thing and keeping me calm. Every now and then I look over to see how Harry is. Louis is sitting beside him talking and rubbing down his curls. They've always had that special relationship. For as long as I've known both of them Louis has always been the only one who could successfully calm Harry down. But Harry didn't look like he was listening.
