The sound of erratic screams came from everywhere, it was unbearable to ear. But I could escape from it, the way it yelled out my name. Searching for me. Claiming me. Needing me. The feelings behind it made me feel nothing and everything, all at once.
People covered their ears to protect their ears from the screaming, rushing all around me. Scattering like roaches to get out, all of them pushing and shoving. The loud crying grew louder, causing the whole building to shake rapidly. Everyone grew antsy, some people falling into their knees from being shoved into the walls.
I watched as one woman cried as people stepped over her, not even having the compassion to stop. My guilt would've ate me alive if I left her there, so I did what any given person would do. My body moved forward, groaning as people attempted to push me further back. The more my body seemed to progress, the more everything was keeping me further away. As the screaming grew louder, a strain in my back caused me to grown as I reached out my hand. Her body was far away, but her touch seemed to be closer than I thought.
Suddenly a single gunshot went off, causing me to look away for a second to see where it came from; People seemed to grow even more frantic running all around me, their bodies dodging me as they rushed past.
As I turned my body, I could see a car driving recklessly. The glass windows showing the entire scene before it swerved, flipping over entirely into a bunch of other awaiting cars.
A big explosion causing the rest of the people, even me in the building to fall as the glass shattered. Everything around us falling apart, the rumble of the building causing me to sit up faster than I could move. Looking around and seeing the woman's body laying there, a bunch of people on top of her.
I grabbed the bodies of random people, moving them aside and grabbing the woman. I flipped her over, stopping immediately as I looked at her face. My heart pounding harder against my chest as her tearful eyes came into view, I reach forward to grab her hand. Suddenly a familiar cry shouting my name cause me to turn around, a flipped car with a shattered window giving me the perfect view.
Ryder stuck inside of it, trying to remove the seatbelt as the bottom of the car caught on fire. I quickly stood up, looking at her worried. Rushing forward to get her out, until something grabbed my hand to keep my back.
"Zayn." Olivia's weak voice, cried out to me while holding my hand.
I looked down at her, feeling myself torn apart at the warm beige of her skin slightly turning blue.
"Zayn!!" Ryder's loud screaming causing me to look at her, watching me with hurtful eyes.
I looked back and forth between the both of them, wondering what the hell was I going to do. Save Ryder from the car explosion, or revive Olivia after suffocating to death. My heart feeling torn, at both sights.
