Charlie's POV:
3am. I woke up to use the bathroom and see that Lizzie had left her light on. That's when it hit me. That's when I realised something wasn't quite right. For a few seconds, I stood by her door and tried to listen out for the TV but I couldn't hear anything. I began to panic because there were no sounds of movement either. Hannah must've heard me as she'd just opened the bedroom door to see me looking like I was going to faint with fear. 'Lizzie's not moving.' I whispered to her, verging on a panic attack. 'Go back to sleep, I'll deal with this.' She explained as she squeezed my hand tightly. I nodded and turned away, leaving Hannah stood outside Lizzie's doorway, figuring out what to do. 'You okay?' Ed asked me as I get back into the bed. I told him I just had a bad dream and it was nothing to worry about, to which he responded by putting his arms around me as if I was some sort of teddy bear. 'I love you Charlie.' I heard him murmur as we settled back down.

Hannah's POV:
I stood outside and listened for any sounds for about half a minute then subtly knocked on the door, hoping for a response but had nothing. Shit, what if she isn't okay. I'm too scared to open the door though. Subsequently, I rushed back to our room, woke Joel up and explained the situation to him. 'It's probably nothing, I'm sure she's fine.' He murmured, half asleep. 'No, no, no, what if she isn't though?' I asked with a raised voice. Reluctantly, Joel rose from the bed, wrapped his dressing gown around his muscly figure and slipped his feet into a pair of slippers and we slowly walked back to Lizzie's room.
