A Love That Was Suppose to Be

Chapter 4: Attack

April 1, 2020:
It was around 1am and all of us were sleeping in our beds. We were all sleeping peacefully 'till all of a sudden Chaney and our new German shepherd Jewel started barking in mine and Blake's room and wouldn't stop.

"Chaney, Jewel. It's alright guys. Calm down. C'mon, let's go back to bed," said Blake and they both fell asleep and so did me and Blake. Then we heard someone kick down the door in the entrance and the dogs started barking again. This time, Blake and I knew what was going on. Someone broke into our house and we saw two shadows on the wall in the living room.

"Babe, let's get the kids and take them to the basement," said Blake.

"Ok," I said and we went into each of their rooms and took them to the basement and Blake closed the door behind him and locked it. Then we all got into the fold out couch which was a bed and held on to each other tightly.

"Daddy, I'm scared," said Braya and Blake embraced her.

"Sh, sh, sh. It's alright sweetheart," he said. Then we heard someone say to someone else to check the basement.

"Oh Shit," said Blake,"I might've left the basement door open."

"Wait a minute. I brought pepper spray with me," I said as I took it out of my robe.

"Good thinking Babe," he said.

"Thanks." Then I got up and when they turned the lights on, I sprayed both criminals in the eyes and they screamed in pain.

"RUN!" I yelled and then we all got up and ran. I picked up Jayna and followed Blake and the kids.

"C'mon Babe," said Blake and I handed Jayna to him and I almost made it out 'till one of the crooks grabbed my left ankle and dragged me back down to the basement.

"EM!"

"BLAKE!" He tried to reach for me but it was too late. The crook took me down and closed the door. Then he hit me in the back of the head with a pan and everything went black.
....
I woke up a few minutes later to find myself tied to a chair and was in nothing but my undergarments and then the crooks took off their masks. It was Eli and his cousin Gary.

"What are you doing here you BITCH?" I asked with anger.

"Well, you see Emily. I came back to get what I longed for from you," he said.

"You're not gonna get it and you never will you MOTHERFUCKER!" I said and I bit him so hard that he started bleeding. Then he got pissed and raised the knife and I screamed. Then all of a sudden, Blake took Eli down and they started fighting each other.

"GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE YOU BITCH!" Blake yelled and threw a punch at him. It took me not that long to realize that they forgot to tie the knot  and I freed myself and I tackled Gary and he fled and so did Eli. Then Blake and I embraced each other.

"BG Babe, are you alright?"

"I think so. You?"

"Yeah." Then we both started walking.

"AGH!" Blake yelled in pain and collapsed to the ground.

"Blake," I said and knelt down beside him. Then Ford and Braya entered the basement.

"Daddy," said Ford and Braya. Blake revealed the wound on his side. Eli stabbed him and he was losing blood quickly. I went looking for my phone in my robe but I couldn't find it. Then Blake took out his phone.

"Here Babe, you can use this," he said and he gave me his phone.

"Ford, go grab a cloth from here and get it wet in that sink and bring back here," I said.

"Ok Mommy," he said and got up and went to take care of that.

"Daddy?" said Braya.

"It's alright sweetheart," he said and she cried. I called 911.

"9-1-1, what's your emergency?"

"Hello? My name is Emily Alves-Griffin. My husband has been stabbed by my ex boyfriend."

"Where was he stabbed at"

"On the left side of his stomach."

"Is he awake and breathing?"

"Yes."

"Ok. We're just now sending help over to your place."

"Ok. Thank you."

"You're welcome."

"Bye."

"Bye." Then I hung up the phone and and Ford came back with the cloth.

"Thank you Ford," I said.

"You're welcome," he said and he handed me the cloth and I placed it on Blake's wound. He was breathing heavily and wincing in pain.

"Blake, it's gonna be ok baby. An ambulance is on the way," I said.

"Em, I don't know if I'll-" I cut him off.

"No, don't say that. You'll live, you'll live, you'll live, you'll live," I said and we kissed each other.

"There they are," said one of the paramedics and they came in with the stretcher and they put Blake on it and carried him out to the ambulance took him to the hospital and me and the kids followed behind them. When we got there, we went straight into the emergency room but the nurses stopped me and the kids.

"Sorry ma'am. Only patients and doctors and nurses can be here," he said.

"Is my husband gonna be ok?" I asked him.

"I don't know. We're gonna operate on him right now," he said. I nodded my head 'ok' and me and the kids went back to the waiting room. Then my phone rang.

"Hello?" I said through my tears.

"Emily, I heard what happened. Is he alright?" It was Taylor.

"I don't know Taylor. They're operating on him right now," I said.

"Ok. We'll be keeping you guys in our prayers," he said.

"Thank you Taylor."

"You're welcome."

"Bye."

"Bye." Then I hung up the phone and just started praying that Blake will be ok.

And we will find that out in Chapter 5.
