"Code green , house is on fire , the whole family trapped inside ."
Sirens rang through the station , all the firefighters ran down the stairs to see who needs to go .
"Harry , Liam and Oli in truck 14 , Noah , Charlie and Ben in truck 17 -"
Harry ran to get his Amber uniform with Liam and Oli following close behind , they got into the truck with Oli driving .
"What's the address of the house ?" Liam said in the walkie talkie , the shift commander told him . Oli pushed the gas and drove faster while Harry and Liam were putting on their suits .
Three minutes later they reached their destination , Liam and Harry jumped out of the truck . Liam started pushing away the neighbors so they'll have enough space for the truck , Harry got the firehoses and handle , quickly putting out the front door and entrace .
"Harry , we need to get inside , there are seven people inside of the house . Let's do this quick ." Liam said and handed him a proof blanket (to cover up a person while carrying them out) , Harry nodded and the two walked in .
It was burning hot inside , Liam took up the first floor and Harry the second . He saw the rooms on fire , so he screamed over the noises , "Is there anyone here !?"
There was no answer , so he kept calling out . "Is there anyone here ?!"
"I'm here !" He heard a voice , then a cough . He rushed through and saw a door on fire . "Please step away from the door !" Harry called , before kicking the door down . He entered the room , seeing a boy sitting under the window on the floor , clutching his crutches in his hands . His face was a bit dirty from the smoke and he had tears streaming down his face .
He crouched down in front of him , "Are you hurt ? Burned ?" He asked , the boy shook his head .
"Okay , I'm going to cover you up with this blanket so you won't get hurt , and I'll carry you out , okay ?" Harry said as he was wrapping the blanket over the boy's shoulders , the boy nodded and let himself get carried out of the room .
It was hot and he was having a hard time breathing , Harry quickly and carefully walked down the stairs , with Liam exiting the house right after him .
The three made it a few steps out of the house , before a loud noise was heard and the house collapsed .
"No !!" The boy in Harry's arms cried out , Harry looked down to him and held him closer , "Shh , it's okay , it's okay ." He turned to Liam , "Did you get anyone out ?"
Liam shook his head with a sad look on his face , Harry breathed out and held the boy close , rocking him back and forth . "It's okay , you're okay ."
The paramedics rolled the stretcher towards Harry and the boy , Harry lied him on it and took off his oxygen mask along with the helmet , "You're going to be perfectly fine , I promise , okay ?"
The boy was crying , and Harry couldn't do anything but watch him being taken away while the rest of the firefighters are doing their best to put the house down as quick as possible .
~~
They returned to the station three hours later , filling the trucks with water and putting the equipment in it's place .
Harry was still thinking about the boy he saved , his shift will be over in a few hours and he wanted to go to the hospital to see if he could see him .
(Note : firefighters' shift is seven a.m to seven a.m the day after , 24 hours at the station , 48 hours at home , which means they work a full day , then stay home for another two . There are three shifts , in every shift there are different firefighters .)
"You okay , mate ?" Liam patted his shoulder , Harry sighed , "The boy I saved , I can't get him out of my head ."
"He's going to be perfectly fine , Harry ."
"I know , it's just - my heart broke when I heard his cries , when the house collapsed . I want to see how he's doing ."
"Get in shower and a bit of sleep , our shift is over in two hours ." Liam gave him a hug and walked up the stairs to the rooms .
~~
When the shift was over , Harry went to talk to his shift commander .
"Hey , uh , do you know to which hospital the ambulance took the boy I saved yesterday ?" He asked , the commander nodded , "Yeah , Willson hospital ."
"Okay , thank you ." Harry nodded , he signed himself out and drove to his house . After an hour sleep , he needed at least two more .
~~
Harry parked his car at the hospital's parking lot , he walked into the building and to the reception .
"Hey , uh , there was a boy brought in here at night , from the house that was on fire . I don't know the boy's name , but I'd like to know the room number ."
The receptionist raised an eyebrow at him , "You don't know his name , yet you want to meet him ?"
Harry sighed and pulled out his badge , "I'm Harry Styles , I'm a firefighter and last night I carried this boy out of the house before it collapsed . I'm here to see how he's doing ."
The receptionist nodded , "I'll call a nurse to lead you to his room ."
"Thank you ." He went to sit and wait to be called .
A few minutes later a nurse approached him , "Hello , are you Harry Styles ?"
He nodded , "Yeah , it's me ."
"Follow me , I'll show you to Louis' room ." The nurse smiled , Harry got up and followed her through the halls , they walked up to the second floor and turned to the left corridor .
"There it is ." The nurse pointed to a room number 118 , Harry thanked her .
He knocked on the door lightly , and a small voice was heard , "Come in ."
Harry opened the door , and there was the boy he saved yesterday - his eyes were red along with his cheeks , he was bundled in blankets with his casted ankle poking out .
"U-uh , hi ?" The boy , Louis , gave him a questioning look , Harry smiled softly , "Hi , I'm Harry ."
"Do I k-know you ?"
"Uh , no . Well , kind of ." Harry walked closer , "I'm a firefighter , I carried you out of the house ."
Louis' eyes widened at his words ; first of all , in Louis' eyes Harry was a fit , handsome guy . But along with that , he was embarrassed Harry had to see him in the vulnerable state he was .
"I came to see how you're doing ." Harry said and walked closer until he was right beside the bed .
"I'm f-fine ." Louis said , "I'm sorry y-you had to s-see me like this , wh-when you took me o-out ."
"Don't apologize , it's nonsense ." Harry smiled at him , "So , you're Louis , right ?"
Louis nodded , "Yeah ."
"How is your ankle ? It's broken if I remember ."
"My ankle is fine , I-I'm taking the cast off in three days ."
"How long have you had it on ?"
"Four months . But I'll still n-need the crutches though ."
After a few seconds of silence Harry spoke up , "Louis , I - I'm very sorry for your lost ." He gently rubbed his arm , Louis swallowed thickly , "I'm still n-not taking it in ."
"It's okay , it'll all be okay ." Harry assured him , "Do you have a place to stay at ?"
Louis nodded and reached up to wipe a stray tear , "I'm staying at a f-friend's , him and his family should get h-here anytime soon ."
Harry nodded , "Okay , it's good ." He eyed him a bit , he could see his teary eyes and his chest moved a little , he was holding his tears back .
"If you want to cry , just let it go . Don't hold it back ." Harry brought him closer , letting Louis cry on his shoulder . He rubbed his back , not saying a word .
When Louis calmed down he pulled his head back and wiped his cheeks , "I'm so s-sorry about your shirt ."
"It's okay , I couldn't care less about the shirt ." Harry smiled softly , when there was a knock on the door .
"Come in ." Louis called quietly , the door opened and two boys walked in .
"Hey Lou ." One of the boys smiled , Harry got up from the bed and let the two boys hug Louis .
"Who are you ?" The other boy asked .
"I'm Harry , I'm a firefighter . I uh , I carried Louis out of the house last night ." Harry introduced himself with a smile and held his hand forward for the blone boy to shake , but the boy hugged him instead , "Thank you so so much for saving Louis , we owe you ." He pulled back , "I'm Niall , this is Zayn . We're Louis' friends ."
"Hi , nice meeting you ." Harry shook Zayn's hand , who smiled at him , "Niall is right , we're grateful you saved Louis ."
"No problem . I just came by to see how he's doing , but I'd better be going ." Harry went over to Louis and gave him a hug , Louis hugged him , "I haven't said a proper thank you for saving me ."
"There's no need to ." Harry shook his head and pulled back , "Uh , you think I could get your number ? We could stay in touch ."
Louis bit his lower lip , "My , uh , my phone was left in the house . A-and the house collapsed ."
"Oh , right ." Harry chuckled , a little embarrased .
"You could save my number , I'll let you talk with Louis whenever you'd like ." Niall suggested , "He's coming to live with me .
"That would be great , thank you ." Harry smiled , they exchanged numbers and said goodbye , Harry gave Louis one last smile before going out of the room .
"Ooooh you got yourself a hot one , Lou !" Niall grinned and pinched Louis' cheek , Louis blushed and swatted his hand away , "Stop , he was just being nice ."
"I'm going to give you four months to get together , if you do I'm shaving my head buzzcut , if you don't I'm dying my hair pink ." Zayn held his hand for Louis to shake , Louis just stared until Niall shook Zayn's hand instead , "It's a bet , mister ."
