Anna's P. O. V.
"Thank you"I said to the police who stopped me from tripping as I stepped out of my house.

I called the cops while corking the gun at the dude that broke into my house. Lincoln had his arms wrapped around me while we watched him groan in pain. He rushed towards us wanting to punch Lincoln.

Dumbest thing to do.

He got knocked out by the baseball bat in Lincoln's hand. I kept looking at Lincoln whose eyes were angrily fixed on the unconscious dude on the floor. I wrapped my arms around him with my eyes closed. I've never been so afraid in my entire life. For a second I thought he shot Lincoln when I heard the gunshot. He shot the wall instead, wanting to scare Lincoln.

"I'm so scared"I whispered in his chest, hugging him tightly.

"I'm never gonna let anything happen to you"he said, placing a kiss on my hair.

"Let me know when he's conscious"I heard Lincoln say as I walked towards him while he spoke to a detective. An ambulance, two police vehicles and a black SUV were parked in front of my house.

"Miss Anna"The detective said with a little smile.

"Anna, this is detective Shaw"Lincoln said.

"I'm sorry about what happened. Thanks to Lincoln we have a little lead on what's going on"He said. "But for now, you're not safe. I promise you we'd get whoever's trying to kill you"

"Thank you"I said. He walked away while I watched him, looking around at everyone who was in front of my house.

"Hey"Lincoln said, making me look at him. "You okay?"

"I stabbed a man"I said. "I could have killed him"

"It would have been Self defence"he corrected.

"I'm so scared"I confessed, folding my arms.

He pulled me in for a hug. I couldn't even push him away. I wrapped my arms around him, hearing his heartbeat.

"Can we leave already? I don't wanna be here"I said, staring at my house.

"Of course"He said.

"I don't feel good"I said, touching my belly.

"The baby?"he asked worriedly, as we walked towards his car.

"I just need some rest"I said, getting into the car as he got it opened for me.

I just wanna be safe.

***

I slightly got my eyes opened, watching Lincoln stand beside the window with his phone in his ear. We got to his house last night with some police men, following us, making sure we're safe. I hated it more than anything. I just wanna walk freely.

"Hey"he said, looking at me. "Feeling better?"

"Yeah"I said, sitting upright, not caring about my messy hair.

"I made you pancakes and a cup of coffee... you want something else?"

"No"I said with a sigh. "Thank you"

He sat on the bed, watching me watch the floor.

"We were literally in a movie last night"I said with a little laugh.

"Talk about Horror"he joked. We both laughed loudly, staring at each other.

"You know I keep thinking..."I paused.

"About what?"

"What if you weren't there last night?"I asked with a slight laugh, trying not to imagine.
