The Good, The Bad and The Gorgeous- One Direction

Chapter Nine- Kiss me

Zayn's POV

I knew what Harry and Liam had done from just hearing her name and seeing their faces. She was inside this burning building, locked in, with no way out. I ran after Niall, dodging people and debre flying from the building. Niall was running so fast, i could hardly keep up.

All i could hear was my bandmates screaming for me to stop but i couldnt. I couldnt let Niall do this alone and i couldnt let Charlotte die. The suffocating smoke was everywhere, getting thicker as we ran deeper into the building.

I finally caught up with Niall, putting a reassurring hand on his shoulder. He turned to look at me, his eyes glazed with tears, his face was covered in black soot and his clothes  the same. I gave him as much of a smile as i could manage. We ran down to the last place we saw Charlotte. She had to be in one of these cells.

"Ok... Niall... We have to... find charlotte... just... look in every room..." I said in between breaths. Niall nodded.

We set to work, checking all the cells but charlotte was no where to be seen. The fire was getting worse by the minute, i knew we only had a few minutes otherwise, we would be burned alive with no way to get out. I found one last door at the end of the corridoor, it was locked.

"Niall... Here..." I shouted as loud as i could. He ran over and started pushing on the door. It wouldnt budge.

"We have to get it open." He said, pushing on the door again.

"Niall how are we going to get it open it's locked. She might not even be in there." I sighed.

"CHARLOTTE" Niall yelled.

There was a muffled sound from behind the door, Charlotte was definately in there. Now we had to get the door open. I stopped pushing and started scouring the floor for the keys, if Harry and Liam locked her in then the keys were around here somewhere. After what seemed like forever, I saw some keys under some rubble. I grabbed them and joined Niall by the door.

I tried tons of keys but none of them were working. They were all the wrong shape, wouldnt even fit in the hole. It came to the last key. If this didnt work, we would have to leave her. We would all die if we didnt. The fire and smoke were getting too thick to handle. It was only a matter of minutes before we got choked or burned alive.

I pushed the key in the lock and turned it. It fit. The door swung open and layed on the floor in the corner was Charlotte. I ran over to her and picked her up. We found her. Now we had to get out. Niall was getting weaker, we both had burns all over our bodies. Our faces we blackening through smoke and soot and our clothes were completely wrecked.

I held Charlotte bridal style in my arms, tapped Niall on the shoulder and led the way out. It was harder to get out than it was to get in. There was burning wood and broken glass everywhere. The thick, black smoke made it hard to see and even breathe. People were screaming our names, sirens were going off, But all i could hear was the sound of my own heartbeat.

I ran until i couldnt hear Niall behind me.

"NIALL" I yelled. I ran back in the path i just came and found him collapsed on the floor in the middle of the flames. "Come on Niall, this is no time to sleep"

I tugged on his shirt but got no response. The smoke was too much for him, i had to get them both out quickly. There was no way i could carry both of them at the same time. But I couldnt leave one of them either. I had to carry them both out. The door surely wasnt that far away. I used all of my strength and picked Niall up, i threw him over my shoulder and done the same with Charlotte. Neither of them were particularly heavy, but together they weighed a ton.
