Ally's POV

Tyler had gone to see his dad and Ally was making French toast for her and Aidan, she was planning to make Tyler's once they were done so it would still be warm when he got back. Suddenly she heard shouting from outside and her phone rang.

"Ally it's dad, where are you? Are you ok?"

"Yeah dad I'm fine, I'm at Tyler's, why what's wrong?"

"A plane just hit the World Trade Center, it's on fire, they're not sure what happened"

"WHAT?! Which tower did it hit, oh my gosh, Tyler is there right now!" Ally started crying and couldn't believe what her dad was telling her

"I'm sorry baby, I'm not down there yet I don't know which one it hit, but I'm on duty and I need to get down there and see what I can do to help. Stay at Tyler's house, is his roommate there? You both stay there, you hear me? It'll be safer to just stay put, I'll call you if I hear anything about Tyler, and I'll try to check in later ok sweetheart?"

"Ok daddy, I'll stay here, stay safe ok? I love you"

"Damn! Don't go anywhere Ally, now they're saying it's a terrorist attack, another plane hit the other tower. I'm sorry baby, it was really high up, so maybe he's safe, I have to go, be safe"

He hung up and Ally ran through the apartment sobbing. Aidan, who had been in the shower, came out of the bathroom and saw her. He pulled her into his arms and asked what was wrong.

"Attack… World Trade Center… planes…. Fire… Tyler was there" was all he could understand, but as he and Ally ran up to the roof it all started to click together and he ran faster and squeezed her hand. Tyler was like his brother and he was fairly sure that Ally was in love with him, he knew Tyler was in love with her.

They got to the roof and saw the smoke and devastation. It looked like the buildings were still standing, so Tyler still had a chance. But if Ally was right and Tyler was at his dad's office it looked like the plane hit right about that floor.

Ally and Aidan stood there just watching the smoke when Aidan's phone rang, he talked to Tyler's mom and then it rang again and it was Tyler's dad. Ally listened as Aidan said that as far as they knew Tyler was already at his office and hadn't left. But God did they hope he decided to leave. Ally was numb, with tears streaming down her face she finally collapsed and put her chin on her knees. She watched the buildings burn, hoping and praying for the love of her life, replaying the words he had said just that morning as he left. He loved her, she knew he wouldn't leave her, she had to hold onto hope that he'd make it out alive.

And that's when the buildings fell. She started sobbing and calling out for him and Aidan finally broke down and fell to his knees crying and holding onto Ally. They were their only support.

Caroline's POV

The teacher said that there was an attack on the World Trade Center, that's where her dad's office was but she knew he wouldn't be there yet because he had just dropped her off at school when the planes hit. And then it hit her, she had heard her dad on the phone with Tyler, he was waiting at his dad's office for a meeting about throwing the fire extinguisher through the window yesterday. He was there.

Then she ran, she ran to the one place she knew that he would find her if he was ok. She ran to their place. The statue in the park that they went to every afternoon for the past six years.
