Hiding (Discontinued)

Chapter 7: Nighttime

Layla's P.O.V.

I was sleeping peacefully, then I just wake up. I look at my phone to see it reading 2:23. It's pretty early. I try to go back to sleep but it's useless so I just stay up on my phone. About an hour later get bored so i open my bedroom door and look out in the hallway. I look into Luke's room to see him sleeping peacefully. I walk to Emily's room and see her stirring in her sleep. I sit on her bed and try shaking her awake she finally wakes up and looks at me with tears in her eyes.

Emily's P.O.V.

I'm starting to have the dream again. The one where mom and dad died. I feel shaking and I wake up to see Layla next to me. She looks a little sad. Then she gives me a hug. I'm a little shocked at first. But then I hug her back, bursting into tears. "I miss them."

"It's okay. I'm here for you." I hear someone in the hallway and I look at my door. I see Luke standing with his eyes still closed from being tired. He let's out a huge yawn and walks over to my bed. Layla let's go of me and Luke engulfs me in a giant hug. I hug him back crying even more. I eventually calm after a while. "We should all go back to bed." Layla slowly go we back to her room. Luke eventually went back to his room and I lied in my bed for a while before falling asleep. About an hour later I woke and I could smell something awful. I opened my bedroom door. Seeing the terrible sight made me scream. The whole lower floor was on fire and so was part of the upstairs. I run over to the other side of the hallway. I couldn't get to Layla because the fire was spreading over to her door. I slam Luke's door open, waking him up. He looked at me, then outside of the door. The moment he see's it, his eyes go wide and he jumps out of bed. He runs out into the hallway, immediately coming back, coughing.

"Luke, Layla is stuck in her room, how is she going to get out?!"" All of a sudden the flames went right in front of his door, blocking it entirely, trapping us in his room. "LAYLA, YOU HAVE TO GET UP, THERE'S A FIRE!" Hoping she would be able to hear me. I looked at Luke, scared, not knowing what to do. We both ran to the window. I looked like someone was running away with a gas can in their hand. He opened the window and we both looked down, seeing a drop that was about 10 feet. We looked at each other, knowing that it was the only way we could get down.

417 words. Sorry this chapter is really short. I wanted to make the next chapter to be more interesting. Hopefully by the end of the week.
