"Mom. Dad. We need to talk." Jacob said.
"What is it son?" Catherine asked worriedly.
He took a deep breath.

"Visit us again" Emma said into the hug.
"We will" Valerie replied.
They sat in the car and Niall drove off.
Niall casually placed his hand on her thigh while driving with his other hand.
They both glanced at each other giving each other a smile and looked to the front.

"Aww I missed my baby" Maura said picking Grace.

'My baby?!'

That was a question in Valerie's head.
She shrugged it off and walked upstairs to change.
As she was going to pick a dress to wear Niall stopped her by holding her wrist and turning her gently.
"Close your eyes" he said.
"Why?"
"Just do it"
She nodded and closed her eyes.
He walked into the walk in and came back with a dress in his hand.
"Open"
She slowly opened her eyes.

"Open"She slowly opened her eyes

She smiled touching the fabric. Niall smiled back knowing she liked the dress.
"This is really beautiful. Thank you" she said softly.
"Wear it. It looks more beautiful on you." He said.
She took the dress and changed into it.
"I love it." She smiled looking in the mirror.
Niall walked behind her wrapping his arms around her waist.
"And I love you" he said smiling and kissed her temple.

"HORAN!" They both turned around.
"COME DOWNSTAIRS!" It was Jacob's dad, Alex.
Niall was confused.
Valerie swallowed hard feeling anxious.
"Stay here" he said and walked out.
She walked toward the stairs but didn't go downstairs. She just started listening to Alex.
Ava stood beside her also feeling confused.

"Alex. What brings you here?" Niall asked.
"You are a sick person Horan. A very sick person. Both you and your gang."
Niall furrowed his eyebrows.
"Forcing girls into marriage. Drugs. Violence. Killing people like it's the easiest job in the world. You sick bastard" he hit Niall's chest.

The guards brought their weapons up and pointed toward Alex but Niall brought his hand up signaling them to bring their guns down. They did as they were told.
"If I were you, I would be careful with the words that comes out of my mouth Alex" Niall warned.
"Or what?" He challenged.
"Alex" he warned.
"You would kill me? Like you killed my son?!" He said.

Valerie's heart dropped. She went blank not hearing or seeing anymore.
Her tears dropped.
"Val" Ava tried to calm her down.
"Ja-Ja" she whispered to herself walking backwards toward her room.
"Ja"
"Val" Ava tried to help but Valerie shook her head side to side and brought her hand in front of her.
"Don't" she said walking into her room.
"Jacob. Jacob" she broke down and cried her eyes out.
"Jacob" she sobbed loudly.

"What are you talking about?!" Niall asked confused.
"YOUR GANG KILLED MY SON!" Alex yelled while his tear rolled down.
"My only son! His sister and his mother are home looking at his empty roo-" he couldn't even finish his sentence without breaking down.
"Do you even know why he got shot?"
Niall waited for an answer.
"He tried to save his girl"

"Are you sure about this?" Ayla asked Jacob.
"It's the only option" he said while walking inside the abounded house.
He was looking for his weapon that he hid from last time.
The other day when Jacob informed Ayla about her living with her, she said that Circle is still after her. Jacob wants to fight him. He wants to fight for his girl.
He will not let the same thing that happened to Valerie, happens to Ayla.

"Unfortunately there's no options left Jacob" He smirked.
They turned around and found the guy from Circle and three other members are standing fully armed.
"She's my girl." He smirked.
"Fuck off!" Jacob snapped.
"Nah. I rather to fuck her" he said.
"SON OF A BITCH!" Jacob launched at him but

Bang

He stumbled a bit and fell on the ground.
"JACOB!" Ayla sat next to him crying.
"Shh.." he whispered.
"go"
"No" she cried.
"g-"
"Jacob! Jacob!"
"Come on babe. You're mine" she kicked him hard that he groaned and fell.
"I will not defeat" she said and started running away.

"But"
"You are all nothing but monsters" Alex cut Niall off.
"Monsters" he cried and left the mansion leaving everyone frozen in their spot.
"AHH"
Their head snapped toward a scream that came from upstairs and a glass breaking.
"Valerie" Niall mumbled to himself and rushed upstairs.

He reached toward their room and saw the door was closed.
He heard her crying.
"No! No! He's not dead" she cried.
Niall opened the door.
Their room was trashed and the mirror was broken. So was all the perfumes that were placed on the dresser.

"Val-"
"Don't" she stopped Niall from getting closer.
He swallowed the lump in his throat.
"Don't" she shook her head.
"Listen to me. I had nothing to do with it. I promise"
"Stop." She cried.
"Valerie I promise. I told them not to go after them. I told them to leave them al-"
"Stop" she cried covering her ears.
"I don't want to hear your voice." She said.
"Valerie" his voice cracked.
He took another step toward her but she took another step back.
"No. No" she said walking toward the door.
"Valerie please believe me"
"Stop. I don't want to hear you or see you" she walked out.

She walked downstairs with Niall following her.
As she reached for Grace Niall held her wrist.
"Don't eve think about it" Niall said deeply.
"You want to leave, leave. But you will not take my daughter with you." He said.
"She's my daughter too"
He picked Grace out of his mother's arms.
"You want to be beside your daughter, then stay where you belong to. Your home."
"Home?" She asked.
He stared at her.
"Home is where you're safe." She said.
"I don't feel safe anymore" she said.
"I told you I had nothing to do with that" he said through gritted teeth.

"You always hated him. You always threatened me with his life. Since day one when your gang came to take me away from my family. The day he came to fight for me. The day after the hospital when he came to check if me and the babies are doing okay.
You always threatened me that you will kill him. And you did" she said as her tear dropped.
"You killed him" she cried and walked out.
"Valerie" he passed Grace to Ava and ran after her.
He held her arm and turned her around.

"Let me go" she tried to break free from his grip, but his grip only tightened.
"I didn't do it"
"Then who did? Who did Niall?! Who hated him more than you did?!"
"FOR THE LOVE OF GOD BELIEVE ME I DIDN'T DO IT VALERIE!" He shouted letting her arm go.
"I had nothing to do with it! Why don't you believe me?! I was with you yesterday at your parents house!"
"You left early and said you have some work to do. Was this the work?!" She fired back.
"NO!" He shouted causing her to flinch.
"This was not! Valerie I swear on my life, on your life, I swear on Grace's life I didn't do it. Believe me please" he cried.
"I didn't" he whispered.
She cried staring at him.
"I don't want to loose you over something I didn't do" he cried.

She took a step forward.
He looked up at her.
"You really didn't?" She whispered.
"I really didn't" he whispered.
He held her hand pulled her closer.
"He's dead" she cried.
"Dead"
Niall hugged her and she cried into his chest.
"Jacob's gone" she cried.

"Forever"
