Chapter 107

Gary's POV

We arrived back at mine. Yasmin didn't really talk and i don't blame her. All we need now is the bloody press making things fifty times worse if that's even possible. Yasmin decided to go for an early night saying she had cramps in her back and stomach. I was having a drink of coffee in the kitchen. My phone started ringing. "Hello...?" Softly i sighed. "Gaz? Are you okay?" Mark was whispering. "Yeah... i'm fine.. are you?" I sipped my coffee. "Erm yeah.. i'm gonna check on the house on my way back from here i wont be long how does a curry sound? I'll cook." Even though i couldn't see him i could tell by his voice he was smiling. "Sounds great...can't wait." I wish he was here now. What i wouldn't give to hug him right now. "Awesome... see you soon... i love you.." He whispered again. "I love you too.." I also whispered and hung up. I need to do something to keep my mind at ease.  I walked upstairs to my studio and started to clean a few of my keyboards and sort some music sheets out into the correct folders. I'm such a messy unorganised person i'm surprised people even get a completed song off me sometimes.  My phone started bleeping. Maybe Mark's on his way already. I looked at my phone which said new text. It read : Gary... it's Rob.. Mark talked me over and i think we should talk for the sake of the band... will you be able to come now? Just the three of us? We're upstairs in my studio so just walk up.. see you soon." Did i just imagine that text?! This is a good sign right?? Quickly i went downstairs and got my car keys and headed to Robbie's house. If Mark's there then everything should be okay.

It wasn't a long ride to Robbie's. There wasn't enough room to park on his drive seeing as he has three cars already parked on there of his own. I parked just at the top of his room and walked down. Doing as he said i just walked in. "Mark? R...Rob?" I called a little nervous. Of course i'm nervous after the last time i was here plus i don't know how Robbie will react with being this close to me. "Lads?" I looked up the stairs. Something was cooking in the kitchen the strong smell filled the house. I decided to walk upstairs to the studio. Gently i knocked on the door. "Guys?" Slowly i opened the door and walked in. It was empty? Where the hell were they? Just as i was about to walk back out i felt a fist hit me in the stomach causing me to stumble back to the floor. "Fucking hell!!" I muttered holding my stomach unable to open my eyes. Someone grabbed my hand and what it felt like handcuffed me to one of the studio bar panels. "Glad you could make it Gary...." A voice said. I looked up to find Robbie with his arms folded. "W...Where's M...Mark...?" I mumbled still holding my stomach. "He went about 10minutes ago back to his house... i want to talk with you...no violence just a talk.." He sat down. "You didn't hand to fucking punch me...or handcuff me up." I looked up at him frowning a little. "Sorry... i didn't think i just don't want you getting away...anyway i want to talk about the band... what are we doing who's leaving me or you?" Why does he seem so calm about this?! "N...No one?" I answered a bit confused. "Well i hope you aren't saying that we are actually going to work together not after this!" He shook his head. "Erm...i..." Before i could answer his phone went off. "Hold that thought.. hello? Dad? What's happened..? C..Calm down? She's what?! Right...okay..yeah...yeah i'm on my way!" Quickly he put his phone away. "Everything okay?" Nervously i asked. "Mum's had an accident. Stay here i wont be long." He walked out the studio door. "ROB! WAIT!!" I tried to undo the handcuffs he can't leave me here! Great... now what?!

I can't even get signal in here. Hope he isn't going to be long i need to get home to Mark he'll be worried.  Also i started to get hungry smelling the food cooking downstairs. Oh shit... please tell me he's turned it off... I sat with my back against the wall.  The smell started to get stronger more of a burning smell now. Fuck i'm scared now what if it's caught fire or something it is a gas hob and cooker after all. No this cannot be happening i can't get out! I started to sweat a little from worrying. Please hurry back Rob please! Loud noises sounded downstairs like aerosol cans exploding. I'm even scared now...very scared... my breathing increased.. the smell started getting stronger. What if the fire comes upstairs?! The room started to fill slowly with black smoke. The house is on fire and i'm handcuffed to a fucking panel!! I tried pulling the handcuff hoping it will break. Nothing it was strong on there. Quickly i picked up my phone no bars. Fucking hell! Please please i need someone anyone just help! I only had 2% battery left. More and more smoke started to fill the studio i used my hand to move as much away from me as possible it's making me feel sick and cough. There's no point even shouting for help no one will hear me and i haven't go the energy. My eyes started to feel heavier like i was tired. No i can't pass out. Even though i can't see a thing i couldn't tell if i had my eyes closed!

Mark's POV

How could i leave my phone?! Gaz is gonna kill me for being late! Quickly i ran back to Robbie's it'll be in his kitchen. As i started to make my way back up to Robbie's there was black smoke coming out of his cimley. What's he burning? Maybe photographs of him and Yasmin. "Rob?!" I called as i opened the door. I couldn't see a thing black smoke filled the hallway. "Jeeez!" I coughed loudly. "Rob?!!" I called fighting the smoke to the kitchen. I told him to move that paperwork away from the hob flames whilst he was cooking! The kitchen door came open and i was greeted by roaring flames making me fall backwards. "ROBBIE?!!" Oh fuck where is he? I need to get him out of here and fast! I used my coat to cover my mouth from the smoke so i don't breathe anymore in and quickly went upstairs looking for him. "Rob?? You need to....get...out of here... there's a fire...downstairs!" I almost choked. I opened the studio door. It was filled with black thick smoke. Fucking hell i can't hardly see! Something caught my eye. A figure in the corner of the studio. "ROB!" I shouted making my way over to him. "M...M..ark...?" He looked up. That isn't Robbie! "GARY?! IS THAT YOU!???" Quickly i cupped his face i couldn't make out. "H...H..e..lp..." He moaned and closed his eyes. What's happened here?! Why the hell is Gary here and not Robbie??! "I'm going to get you out Gary." i wrapped my coat around his mouth so he couldn't breathe anymore smoke in and helped him to his feet. I pulled him as i walked, but he wouldn't move. What's he stuck to?! Something was around his wrist but i couldn't make out what.  I need to get him out of here now! My fingers trailed around the metal ring around his wrist it was slightly hot. Someone has handcuffed him to the recording bar?! I started choking again quickly i covered my mouth with my arm. I need to get that off him!
