Two hours earlier~

I was getting changed for bed when I heard a strange noise in the living room. I thought Adam was home early, but I when I got to the living room no one was there. All of a sudden I felt a metal object slam into my head and then everything went pitch black.

I heard voices around me, and then my eyes fluttered open. Jeez, it's so bright in here! Everything was blurred, but I was barely able to see a puddle of blood surrounding me. I tried to speak, but I couldn't seem to form the words correctly. All that came out were mumbles. My head throbbed and I was about to give into my injury, but then I saw the men walk over.
"Look who's up from her little 'nap'," said one of them.
"Now!" Said the man in charge. As the man got closer to me, I tried to scream for help, I tried to kick, but I couldn't fight back. Oh my god, he's raping me. I need help. Everything became a blurry mess as I felt my eyes start to close. The noise started to fade away as I gave into the pain. It was pitch dark again, just like that.

~DREAM~
"Where is he? He should've been home an hour ago!" I thought to myself. All of a sudden, Adam bursted through the door, his face steaming red.
"Adam," I said nervously.
"Shut up!" He screamed as he grabbed his gun and immediately pulled the trigger, the bullet aiming right towards my head. Boom! The last thing I saw was him walking away with the slightest grin on his face.

~End of Dream~
My eyes flutter open. I try to call out, but then the men put their hands on me. Come on, it's not like I can move. Anyways, why would I have that dream about Adam? He loves me and I know that. He would never, ever hurt me. All of a sudden, I hear the door break down.
"CHICAGO POLICE, EVERYONE ON THE GROUND NOW!!" I heard Sgt. Voight call out. The men run away from me immediately.
"KIM! WHERE ARE YOU?!" I heard Adam scream. All of a sudden I see him rushing over to me. "Hey babe, it's okay, squeeze my hand if you can hear me darlin'" he said, fighting back the tears. Of course I could hear him, I just couldn't respond. My head started to throb even more. I felt myself getting weaker and weaker as I heard Adam call out, "CALL AN AMBULANCE, SHE'S CRASHING!!". "Hey babe, stay with me please, it'll be okay, I love you Kim, it'll be okay, I know it will."
I tried to do what he said, but I couldn't stay awake any longer. The last thing I saw before my eyes rolled back into my head was Adam sobbing. In my head I said, "I'll be back baby I promise. I'll be okay, I love you too much to leave you." Everything became darker and then it all stopped. Is this what it's like to die? It better not be, because I'm not ready. I can't leave Adam behind.
