One and only

We woke up to shouting and screaming.
We woke up to coughing and panic.
We woke up to black and heat.
We grabbed out dressing gowns and put them on quickly. Then Liam picked me up bridal style and raced me out of the room and down the stairs. He fell out of the door and I bit the pavement of his drive outside. He coughed dramatically as did I. Clare and zayn were huddled across the way, clearly they had done the same as us last night as they were just in fluffy dressing gowns aswell. We heard fast thumps down the road as a panting niall came to join us. He had just got out of bed, I knew because of his bed head and and pjs, a girl came running after, a pretty girl. Niall came and picked me up, taking me away from Liam's beautiful blazing house. Liam came after us.
"New girl?" I asked
"I've been meaning to tell you about her" he replied.
"Pretty" I complimented he smiled at her.
"Yeah" he said, In a manly morning voice "stunning" she looked at the ground smiling. Naw. Loves young dream. I flash back to last night, our dream. Mine am d Liam's night. I look at him now, black with soot, coughing. He looks at me, at my frightened face.
"Babe" he says in a strong but blocked voice. Not his usual morning groan. A look of worry hits his face and he crawls over to me. Holding me close, keeping me safe in his tight grasp. I nuzzle into his Neck as I near the loud sirens. The lights would have been flashing but I kept my eyes shut. Me and liam were rushed into an ambulance, but we refused to separate. He laid on the bed and I sat on the seat, he was far worse than me, he had protected me. Even in his sleep, somehow, he had protected me. After a second set of sirens and another ambulance had hustled zayn and Clare in, and niall had gone backward it's his new girl, Harry came shouting. But he couldn't get close. He was rushed away. I heard him screaming my name but my mind was on Liam. Liam was my whole world and I could do nothing to help him apart from hold his hand. Tight. Suddenly there was a huge bang, the whole ambulance shifted across the road. The house. The beautiful house. The noise was eardrum brusting. And as if it was planned- a fire engine shot down the road, followed by another. All guns blazing. The neighbours had been evacuated and they were fine. As the firefighters started to tackle the blaze the engine of the ambulance started off and we were whisked away.
"I said I was to be a fire fighter, if not a singer *cough cough* they save lives" he smiled at me. A weak but beautiful smile. I leaned in and kissed his forehead softly.
"I know baby, I know" I whispered back.

*****************

We we didn't take long in the hospital. I only needed cleaning up, and Liam had his airways cleared using a long pipe. He said he couldn't feel it but I saw the way he shifted, it must have been extremely uncomfortable. When we retuned back to the site we talked to a police man, the candles from the dressing table had set fire to something which lead to something else I don't know. I was more concerned about how the whole thing looked. Black. The sun was starting to come up and the full extent of the damage was shown. The fire was out but the scars of the house were left. I hugged Liam as we stood and looked at what we had done. What had we done.
