CHARLOTTE POV

 Loud screams wake me up. They’re coming from outside, growing closer and more desperate.

My body is kicked into overdrive as I sit rod straight in bed, turning to Zayn’s fast asleep figure. Grabbing his shoulder, I shake him, repeating his name to pull him back to consciousness. My grip tightens when another shrill scream resounds through the wall. What the hell is happening out there? Glancing at the bedside clock, I’m even more frightened to see that it’s past four in the morning. Nobody should be out there at that time. It’s our own private floor.

“Hmph” He mumbles, eyes still closed.

“Zayn please wake up.” My voice is shaky and desperate, but his eyes finally open staring blankly up at me. “There’s someone outside.”

The last of the sentence is drowned out by another scream and me jumping. It only takes a second for him to bolt up, hair a complete mess and eyes wide.

“How long has this been going on?” He whispers, throwing the covers off himself and crawling over me.

“I woke up moments ago.” I explain.

He sits still, staring into empty space as he listens to the muffled noises. I reach over and grab his thigh, my breathing already rapid as that familiar icy feeling of dread settles in my stomach. It’s how I felt after being thrown into nightmares. And it was the absolute worst.

 “It’s okay” He cooes, hand smoothing back my hair. “There’s security on our floor.”

The scream sounds like it’s just outside the door and I freeze, scooting forward closer to him. With wide eyes I look at him and he only rubs my head again before going to move off the bed.

“What?! Zayn!” I hiss, reaching to pull him back.

He turns back, adjusting his boxers that have slid down, “Shh, it’s okay.” He motions for me to be quiet as he stalks to the door.

There’s no way in hell I’m letting him go alone. Absolutely not. I launch off the bed and rush to him, grabbing his arm in both of mine.

“Charlotte, stay there” He whispers, pointing to the bed and I only shake my head.
