Chapter Thirty-Six

*Trish's POV*

VIOLENCE WARNING

I walk in the door to Emma's house, on the verge of tears. She's been trying to comfort me, but nothings working.

"Emmy?" I hear Niall call. I watch as he walks out from the living room, his eyes dart right to me immediately filling with shock. "Jay?" He asks walking closer to me with his arms open.

"Hi." I say hugging him back. He pulls back looking between me and Emma. He's mad.

"Seriously?" He says looking at Emma, she shrugs her shoulders. "We just talked about a plan." He says, okay he looks really angry.

"I had a plan." She says walking around him towards the kitchen. We both follow her as she goes into the fridge.

"Really? And what was that?" He asks walking up beside her.

"Sneak in. Kill everyone and get Trish." She says pulling out a beer. I lean forward pulling it out of her hands shaking my head. "Fuck I cant even drink for god damn nine months." She says grabbing a water instead.

"Great plan there. You could have gotten yourself killed. And our baby." He says. Oh shit.

"Well I didn't. You know I'm capable enough to protect myself, Ni." She says raising her voice a bit. I feel like I shouldn't be here, but I need to see what happens.

"I know that but I need to protect the both of you and I can't do that when you leave in the middle of the night to go kill people!" He says also raising his voice. This will either end with her slapping him or she will leave.

"To save my best friend! Your best friend, Niall.! You should have known I wouldn't just lay around and wait." She says pointing her finger at him.

"It was dumb. You shouldn't have went alone. You should have waited." He says not yelling anymore. I hear her sigh at his words. This is like a sit com.

"If i didn't go who knows what would have happened to Trish if we waited. And I wouldn't have found out that my father knows. About the baby. He knows, Niall." She tells him taking a sip out of her water. Oh. Well that's not good.

"No. You only told like close friends. There is no way he could have known." He says shaking his head.

"Well he does." She says walking out of the kitchen. "I'm going to the store. To get some stuff for your wounds." She tells me.

"Okay." I tell her with a small smile. "Thank you." I say and she smiles back.

"Coming?" She asks looking over at Niall. He hesitates but nods his head. They walk out the door and I hear it lock behind them.

I look up to see Michael standing at the end of the hallway. He looks shocked that I'm here. He probably thought I wasn't coming back.

I stand there, staring at him. He slowly walks towards me, as if he has something to say.

"I have to confess something." He says, running his hands down my arms. I shiver slightly at his touch.

He takes my hands in his, and right when he opens his mouth there's a knock at the door.

I take my hands out of his, upset that somebody is ruining this moment.

I open the door and see none other than Zayn standing on the other side.

"Hey princess, I got worried." He says. I shrug, not wanting to tell him what just happened.

"Yeah, Emma wanted me to stay with her." I tell him. Simple half-truth.
