Only the strong survive.

Enjoy and review.

Thanks again for all the reviews so far.


Ally's POV

We heard weird noises, that I recognized as cars crushing and, while Jackson was turning around in the corner of a street, I tried my best to watch whatever had happened; my heart seemed to stop beating for a moment when I thought I saw Danny's car.

"Dad, please, stop the car" I said.

"No, darling, don't worry, those people will be fine"

"You want to be governor, right?" I said, remembering a conversation I'd heard between Susan and him; he wanted to leave the embassy and try to be the new governor of London "If you help these people, it'll be good publicity for you"

He thought about it for a moment and then parked the car. The car didn't even stop moving when I opened the door and ran toward the cars. I almost got hit by a car in the way; the driver was coming toward my way but I wasn't willing to stop, I thought he or she wasn't going to make it. I felt backwards and put my arms in front of my head, ready for the pain, but the car stopped right in front of me. The driver, an old mad, got out of his car and starting yelling at me, but I ignored him and went on running. I jumped over a car, I'd always wanted to do that, and I felt over Danny's car's hood.

'Oh my God' I thought. The front glass of the car was kind of broken though it hadn't fallen down, but I could still see through it; Dougie had his eyes closed and his bandages were red, blood was even coming from under them, it was going all down his chest and stomach. Danny, on the other hand, was moving his head, which was covered with blood.

"Danny, can you hear me?" I shouted. People was all around us, but nobody dared coming closer, they would have to walk over the cars, like I did.

He opened his eyes slowly.

"Ally, is that you?" he said.

"Yes, it's me" I felt relief he was alright, but Dougie was worrying me "Are you alright?"

He touched his head and looked surprised when he saw blood "Well, I don't know…"

"Try to wake up Dougie" I said.

He turned to watch him and then tried to shake him a little bit, but he didn't wake up.

"Dougie?" he said "Dougie, dude, come on"

"Danny, look at me" I said, I could feel my heart beating fast, I was afraid "You are sorrounded by cars, you won't be able to open the door. Push the glass, it's broken, it will fall easily."

I looked around; Jackson was helping an old lady and Susan was holding Eli by his side, many people were calling for ambulances and the rest were just staring at me.

"Alright" Danny said. I jumped to the car next to me and waited. Danny took off his shirt and put it around his hands, then started to push the glass; it felt over the hood just seconds later and I tired to throw the little pieces of glass away from there. I cut my left hand and my right wrist.

"Dammit" I said as little drops of blood run down my arm as I watched my cuts. I jumped over Danny's hood, ignoring my mother's concern questions, she must had seen the blood.

Danny climbed off the hood and fell over another car. Two big guys came to help him and laid him down on the ground. I jumped inside the car and put one finger under Dougie's nose.

"He's not breathing" I almost choked when I said that, then I shouted for help "He's not breathing! Someone please help me!" I couldn't get Dougie out the car by myself; I was a good fighter, but I wasn't strong, at least not strong enough to do this. I fought back my tears, it wasn't time to cry. I opened Dougie's mouth and pressed my lips into his, trying to make him breath again. I took off my shirt, not caring about the world around us, and tied it tightly to his shoulder. That's when I noticed my hands were shaking.

Jackson came jumping over the cars like I did and landed on the hood.

"He's not breathing, dad, he's not breathing!!" I said with tears of desperation in my eyes.

"Ally, calm down and help me"

He grabbed his by Dougie's left arm –Doug's right shoulder was the injured one, moving him from there would be extremely dangerous— and started to pull him out of the car. Another big guy came to help us and they together took Dougie off the car and toward an ambulance. I run behind them, not even caring about the cold; well, it was actually freezing, but if my heart stopped beating, it'd be by fear or sorrow, not by the weather.

I climbed up the ambulance but Jackson put his arms around me and took me away.

"What are you doing!? Let me go! I want to go with him!" I shouted as I tried to break free from his arms.

"No, Ally! Listen to me! You are covered with blood, you need a doctor"

I remembered my cuts and looked down to look at myself. I really was covered with blood.

"I promise you I will take you to the hospital to see him, I swear, but, please…"

I stopped moving and hugged him tightly as I started to cry… If something happened to Dougie… If he didn't breath again… If he… Died… What was there left for me?

My stomach felt weird and I begun to feel dizzy. My legs begun to feel heavy and crying made breathing more difficult.

"Ally?" Jackson looked down at me and caught me before I hit the ground. Then everything went dark.


The white walls hurt my eyes so I closed them quickly again.

"Hi there" a sweet voice said; my mum's voice, Susan's voice. Then a giggle followed her comment; that was Eli.

"Hospital, right?" I said; only hospitals had these insanely white walls.

"Yes" she said.

I opened one eye and checked my whole body; I was perfectly fine, except for my left hand and my right wrist, which both had bandages. Then it all came to me. I sat quickly, maybe too quickly because I felt a horrible pain in my head that made me close me eyes again.

"Wait, honey, lay down again" Susan said.

"Where's Dougie!?" I asked as I opened my eyes again.

"He's… Well, you could say fine" she said.

"What does that mean?"

"He's alive, Ally"

I felt extremely relief, so relief I felt like crying.

"Where is he? Are we in the same hospital?"

"Yes, darling, but lay down!"

I stood up; someone had took off my shoes, but at least I had my jeans on and what I remembered to be Jackson's shirt.

"I want to see him, please" I said.

"Oh, don't make me that puppy face!" Susan said as she looked again.

"Please… Mum…" I knew she would buy it, she always did when I called her mum.

"Alright, alright!" Eli laughed, so cute.

I put my shoes on and we walked outside that little room. I had no clue were Susan was taking me, she was walking around the place as if it was her own house. I saw Danny in a corner sitting in a chair; Tom, Harry and Dougie's family were around him. I ran to them and they all hugged me when they saw me. Dougie's mum cried while she hugged me.

"Thanks you so much, Ally!" she said "If it wasn't for you.... you helped my son so much"

I didn't answer, I didn't feel she needed to thank me; I had only tried to help the boy I love, the only one I'd ever loved.

They all looked… Well, they all looked like crap, tired. Danny had bandages all around his head and he was resting in Jazzie's arms. I wondered how many hours I'd been unconscious, how many blood I'd lost.

"Is he alright?" I asked, trying not to cry.

"Yes, he will be fine. There was a thing blocking his lungs or something like that, the doctor explained it so fast that I cant really remember everything, but he will be alright, though he had to go trough a small surgery"

"Can I see him?" I asked Sam.

"Of course you can" she said "But he's sleeping right now"

She walked me toward another door and I entered in another insanely white room.

I sat down in a chair next to him and caressed his hair. It hurt me to see him like that, full of bandages and connected to machines, but at least he was alive. I didn't even want to think about the moment I thought he might be dead.

I put my head next to his and smiled as I watched him sleep peacefully.

Then fear surrounded me again; the last time I'd talked to him, he was afraid of me. I was desperately hoping that had changed. Now I was afraid of what he was going to think when he woke up. I tried to put those feelings in the back of my mind and enjoy the view for a little while.
