OFF GUARD ||H.S|| (COMPLETED)

58.Can you keep a secret?

Evelyn's POV:

"We can't just stand here. We have to do something" Niall shouts , the sound of sea water filling overpowering our voices.

"Let's get them out of these cages" Liam tries to tell us , his voice barely heard with all the gushing of water into the ship.

All of us rush to pull the girls out of the sinking cage which becomes more of a struggle when more water starts to flood in and the cage begins to sink inside the giant hole at the corner ,which also seemed to get bigger and bigger by the second.

"Come on" I shout , desperately trying to swim in the midst of running water and trying to pull one of the girls out at the same time.

But to all of our dismays , the hole becomes even larger and the cage completely sinks in , falling out of the ship and into the deep sea.

"Beta team , there are still 2 boats docked at the bow of the ship. You have to get out of here" Harry says , all of us now desperately trying to stay above the water.

"What about you?" Liam asks , swimming to the door.

"I stay behind and save atleast a few of these girls. I have to try" he says , diving into the water and getting back up to surface immediately.

"Delta team , you leave with Beta team now" he says , pulling out on of the many girls and trying to keep her above the surface.

"That's an order" he says when Louis opens his mouth to object.

"I'm staying with you" Niall says , as I watched Millie and Louis leave along with Liam.

"So am I" I say , diving into the water and noticing that most of these girls were drowned and gone except for one who had her legs stuck under a piece of heavy piping.

"A girl needs help. She's got her leg stuck" I announce to the rest of my team that was left , as I gasped for breath.

"This one's not breathing" Harry takes her to the corner of the sinking room of the ship and places her on one of the tables which was almost about to be covered with sea water in a matter of few minutes.

"I'll go and help her. You three need to get out of here on that other boat before the dock sinks in too" he says , about to dive in.

I grab his collar and pull him up and closer to me , not wanting to let him do this.

"What if I told you that I didn't wanna leave?" I mutter , tightening my grip around his jumpsuit.

"You will listen to me now. Or just lose your job" he removes my hands from his clothing and pushes me back.

"I don't care. We can't just leave you here" I shout , grabbing his hands again.

"You might not care but I do. I care about you." he seethes , grabbing my cheeks and pulls his face closer to mine before pushing me off again in the next few seconds.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I scream at him , watching him dive into the water to save the girl.

"Let's go" I hear Zayn's feeble voice from behind me , as he grabs my wrist slowly.

"Alpha One , just go. I'll make sure that we get out safely" Niall says , getting over to the other girl on the table and giving her some CPR.

"We can't just leave them here" I pull my wrist out of Zayn's grip and swim away.

"Follow orders or lose your job , Ev " Zayn mutters , grabbing my waist and pulling me up before I dove in.

"Let's go" he swims to door when I stop struggling and follow him.
