Be My Escape - A One Direction / Harry Styles Fanfiction

Chapter 29 - Gone

We entwined fingers as he pulled me up with him and we headed back to his car.

-----------------------

Harry turned on the radio while we drove down a street and began singing badly to When I Was Your Man by Bruno Mars. I couldn't help but laugh when he pretended to hit the high notes badly.

"I can't believe that YOU'RE in a world famous boy band!" I joked.

He pretended to be hurt, "I'll have you know that my voice is beautiful!"

I rolled my eyes and gazed out the window, "If you screeching beautiful than alright."

He huffed as we continued down the street. I began to hear sirens, a whole lot of them, and saw smoke coming from a building. As we proceeded closer I noticed the building was engulfed in flames. Firetrucks had just pulled up and were attempting to stop the flames while ambulances also parked next to them. I felt like that building looked familiar until it suddenly clicked.

That's the fire station my father works at...

"HARRY, STOP THE CAR!" I shrieked causing him to step on the break and the car to come to a sudden halt.

"SAM, WHAT THE-" He was cut off by me slamming the door and running to the scene.

A small crowd had already formed around the barriers and I pushed through all of them until I reached the front.

"Excuse me, miss, but you can't cross." An officer told me gesturing towards the barriers.

"BUT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND MY DAD WORKS THERE!" I exclaimed starting to freak out.

I couldn't help but think negatively of the situation. What if he was dead? What if he was still in there?

"I'm sorry, ma'am, but it's too dangerous." He notified me and I felt my eyes begin to water.

"Sam!" I heard Harry call as he finally pushed through the crowd and stood next to me.

He pulled me close to him, "It's going to be alright."

I looked over and saw a dirty-looking Frank speaking to some officers. His eyes met mine and his face immediately fell. He slowly walked over to us and greeted us when he reached me.

"Is he alright?" I asked in a frantic tone.

His eyes began to water and he quickly looked down, shaking his head. No, no, no, this can't be happening.

"He saved my life, Sam." He choked out.

I shook my head in disbelief as I felt tears roll down my face. No, no, no please be lying! I looked up at Harry and he had tears streaming down his face as well.

"No, no, no please. He can't be." I whispered softly in denial.

Frank sighed, "Sam-"

"PLEASE DON'T TELL ME IT'S TRUE!" I cried trying to get over the barrier in front of me.

"Somebody grab her!" One of the officers yelled.

I felt two arms, Harry's, wrap around my waist and pull me back in to him. I tried fighting but his grip on me was too strong.

I began punching his chest trying to release myself from his grip, "STOP, PLEASE! HE CAN'T BE DEAD!"

"Sam, Sam please, calm down." Harry pleaded as he continued to pull me back.

I finally stopped fighting and broke down in to his arms. He held me close, shaking a little aswell, as I continuously cried.

All I could ask myself is: Why?
