Chapter 5:

The blinding shriek continued then there was an explosion. It was coming from the hospital.

"NO! We have to go back! We have to save them! It's a fire! I know it! Nancy!" I screamed, hobbling as fast as I could towards the way we came.

"No! You can't! They'll get you!" Alex said. He grabbed my arms.

"Why?? We need to save them! We promised Nancy something and I will keep that promise!" I yanked my arms away and broke into a full speed crutch walk.

"Don't you see?" Ed said plainly.

"Don't I see what?" I was starting to get annoyed. We could be saving people but instead he was wasting time.

"If you go back, you will never save them. They came to arrest us under suspicion that the fire was arson." Alex explained.

"And they thought that one of us set the fire?!" I said incredulously.

"Either that or they thought we knew who did it or we helped." Alex said as if he was talking about the weather.

"How can you be so calm?!?! Nancy could be burning to death??" I realised that I had stopped so I needed to keep going so I did. Alex and Ed were right behind me, still holding the bags. They stopped and whispered but I could still hear them.

"When I say run, grab her and the crutches. I'll get the bags and we peg it." Ed said.

Alex just nodded. I felt sick. There was another shriek and I couldn't handle it. I burst into tears and dropped the crutches. I tried to run but couldn't manage it so I limped as fast as my legs would carry me. It was agonising. I kept going and going until my leg got caught on a root. I fell to the floor and just kept crying and crying and crying. I felt someones arms wrap around me and pick me up. I kept my eyes closed and just cried into their shoulder. They had managed to pick me up without hurting me. I pulled my hands in close around their neck and felt their hair. It was Alex. He started singing to me. He started with Three Little Birds by Bob Marley then Mocking-Bird by Eminem and finally, 21 Guns by Green Day. Just little snippets of songs but they were enough.

"Look at me." He said. I did. "Nancy will be fine. Trust me. But we need to go. If they catch us, how will we ever pay her back?"

"Thank you." I whispered into his hair. He pecked my cheek.

"Anytime."

He slowly put me down and we went back towards the way we came, getting deeper and deeper into the woods.

I saw Ed sitting down on a patch of moss. He was us and immediately got up.

"We need to carry the stuff and run or we will never get to the train in time."

"Ok. Lets go."Alex said. Sheeran held the bags and the crutches. I snatched them off him and held them. He took them back.

"Not so fast. You're forgetting that Alex needs to carry you. Less weight for him, the faster he can run with you."

"Lets go then."Alex said. They started to run. Considering what they were running through, it wasn't as bumpy a journey as I thought it would be. We got to a main road and the boys walked, following it away from the hospital. There was one more scream. The loudest and the longest. I started to weep again and I closed my eyes, pressing my face against his chest. His heart was racing after the run but it was one of the most soothing sounds I'd ever heard. But one factor of our situation and made next to no sense whatsoever. How was it that we were so near a city and yet there were no sirens blaring? Surely people must have called the police. Surely?

We ducked into the woods as we heard a car come down the road. Maybe we were being to precautious but either way, we couldn't trust anyone.

We decided to keep within eyesight of the road but inside the woods, that way we don't have to run into the woods, we can just crouch down. Alex always put his body around mine, shielding me from the car's view.

"You are the best friend anyone could ever have. Ever." I whispered into his hair.

"Best friend." He echoed. He said it was if he was hollow. I felt the same.

We just went on and on until we found a town. we followed the sign to the station.

"You can put her down now you know." Sheeran said, a touch annoyed. Silly cousin.

"She'll slow us down because we'll be waiting for her to keep up. It's best that I carry her until we get in the train." Alex said. I was hoping that wasn't the only reason her wouldn't put me down.

We finally got to the station. Travis was right, no-one was at the ticket booth so Alex just lifted me over the turnstiles and we sat down on the bench, hoods up. Sheeran's ginger hair is famous and Alex's "Skunk hair" is too. He has blond streaks, like a skunk. The train came and we boarded.

Three stops later and we were off. Alex had to put me down because it would have looked stupid and would have gotten us noticed. We walked to Mackies, ordered a little bit of food from the money we had on us and and sat at table near the door. Travis had sent in my mates to come and pick us up. They ordered some chips some drinks then sat with us.

"You're coming with us. Don't ask questions, don't say a word. We eat as fast as we can then go." Becky said with complete and utter seriousness. We were sat down for 2 minutes then we all got up and left.

We walked for about 10 minutes, taking endless turns into a housing estate. Wise. We get blown up or shot at here and someone is gonna hear us scream.

We walked into a house to see it completely empty apart from Travis and the rest of the bands Including Jack, Rian and Zack from All Time Low. We all group hugged then turned to Travis.

"Well, Mr Organiser, what's the plan?" Zack said.

"We've got money, lets go to a hotel. This place has already been wiped so it's all good." He smiled, "Premier Inn, Heathrow airport."

"Why there?" Taylor said. We all sighed. She's lovely and really smart but sometimes she can be about as smart as a lamp-post.

"Heathrow is an___?"Jack said slowly.

"Airport." She said, still confused.

"And what do airports need lost of just in case of terrorists?"

"Security."

"So if you are staying at a hotel that's next to an airport___?"

"You're well guarded!" She said, finally putting the pieces together.

"Yes!" Zack said.

"Now we're all up to speed, lets move." Travis said, pointing to the door.

We all walked out and turned left. Travis didn't even bother locking the door. We kept walking to a set of garages. He opened up three to see six completely different cars. Range Rover, Fiat, Ford Galaxy, Mini, Honda CRV and BMW. All of them had tinted windows.

"Shotgun!" Alex yelled and ran up to the BMW. I hobbled behind him and got in. We were joined by Sheeran. We all picked separate cars. We the Kings got the Mini, Paramore got in the Honda, My mates got in the Range Rover, We are The In Crowd got in the Galaxy and the rest of All Time Low got the Fiat.

We left in the order of the Mini, the Range Rover, the Fiat, the Honda, the Galaxy, then finally, Us. We all left around 8 minutes apart so it wasn't so suspicious and made our way to Heathrow Airport. Hopefully, from now on, there would be no more surprises. Alex drove as I laid along the back seats with Sheeran in the passenger seats. I fell asleep, thinking of Nancy.
