Mental Institution

20

  Ariella is Danielle's new name okay!! I'm going to originally keep Danielle's name the same in the past few chapters because I don't want people thinking 'Why does it say Danielle on the trailer?' so yes from chapter 20 until the end will use the name Ariella.
ON WITH THE STORY...
"Nyla? That's such a cute name!" Pattie coos as me, Jason, Lauren, my parents and the rest of the gang stand in the warehouse doing training.
"Thank you. I thought of it this morning just before me and Ari left the house" Jason coos taking full responsibility for the pretty name I came up with for our daughter. I shoot him a warning look but with a smile before taking Nyla from Pattie's arms. Obviously Pattie complains but Jason shoos her away. "She has to feed the baby and beside's you're supposed to be doing your job" he says sternly. Even though he is trying to sound like he is joking, we all know he is being deadly serious. I know exactly what you are thinking. Why would Jason still let his mom fight in a gang like this? He doesn't allow it at all but Pattie shows everyone what to do if they're wounded and how to simply and temporarily wrap up and injury so you can get some professional help.
Sometimes Jeremy handles some sort of gang business but not really life-threateningly fighting. Thinking of that suddenly turns me sick and I look at Jason as he looks at me worriedly. "What's wrong?" he asks. "Are people going to die?" I ask through my tear-filled eyes. Jason brings me into a hug careful not to hurt Nyla who is in my arms.
"Baby, I can't promise you that everyone will be safe. Heck, I can't promise that you will be safe. But I do know that nothing will happen to you or Nyla" Jason strokes Nyla's head softly before kissing my forehead. "Now go feed our hungry little girl, I've got to go train. Oh and remember. Give me a warning if you're about to come in here my gang will be shooting and throwing knives and shit. I wouldn't want you or Nyla to get hurt" I nod my head before kissing Jason on the lips quickly and walking out of the door.
I cuddle my baby closer as I walk through to Jason's office in the warehouse. Yes Jason has an office here. It's got a desk and chair with a couch and a little window showing the deep dark forest. A shiver runs up my spine as I turn away from the window instantly not liking the darkness and the vibes I was getting from the forest.
I sit down carefully on the couch and pull out a baby bottle with the formula milk. The water is already warm enough for Nyla because it's in a thermal heating flask so I won't have to worry about getting warm water from anywhere for the next few hours.
I carefully feed Nyla as I watch my little girl eat.. well drink all her food. I can't believe my baby is almost 2 weeks old already. Jason hasn't stopped nurturing her with care whilst I nurture her but not too much, which is ideally what Jason should do. I quickly make sure Nyla was winded before placing her on my shoulder to have a little walk around Jason's office to get her to sleep but as I look out the window my blood runs cold. Outside is a dark figure I can't really make it out as he is about 100ft away! It was clearly a man from the stocky posture but I can't tell if it's Dave. I quickly run out of Jason's office with an half asleep Nyla on my shoulder. Not thinking of Jason's warning I quickly run into the training room and let out a loud scream as a bullet shouts past me, everyone freezes as I turn around to protect Nyla. "Everyone stop what they're doing! Right fucking now!" Jason yells and everyone puts their gun down. By now I am in hysterics,not just because I almost got hit with a bullet but because of that man. I have tears running down my face and I'm shaking uncontrollably. Jason quickly takes Nyla off me before handing her to Lauren and placing his hands on my shoulders. "Baby, look at me. What is wrong?" I look up into his honey brown eyes instantly feeling myself relax a little bit. "I-I s-saw-" I'm cut off by another bullet shooting straight between me and Jason and Jason looks at me darkly, just like he did to me that night he kidnapped me. I almost thought he was angry at me until he turned around and said "Who. Fucking. Did. That?" in the most calmest voice possible.
"I-it was m-me si-sir. I didn't mean to I swear" A boy around the age of 18 said whislt holding his arms up in defence and dropping the gun to the floor.
I start to cry some more thinking of the possible man who could of been Dave and Jason's attention is quick to come back to me. "What's wrong, Ariella?" Jason asks looking more serious and slightly pissed off. "I- I saw a m-man from your office w-window. He was looking-g at me a-and Ny-yla" I stutter out through deep sobs. Jason's look darkens once again and Jason turns around to the gang.
"Don't just stand there get looking. Whoever is out there bring them straight in for questioning. Take your weapons" Jason orders as his gang run out. Soon after Pattie, Jeremy, Lauren and my parents leave the room. I watch as Nyla sleeps happily, trusting Lauren to take her from my sight as I know no one would let anything happen to her. Jason brings me into his warm and secure arms as he kisses the top of my head. "I'm so scared Jase" I mumble. "I know you must be scared right now but nothing will happen to you or Nyla. Babe, I've told you this. Now calm down aright? Do you want me to take you and Nyla home and get people to look after you?" Jason asks and I pull away from our hug looking at him weirdly. "I'm not a baby Jason! I don't want people looking after me" Jason smirks a bit before looking at his wrist. "Come on, let's get you and Nyla home it's already 3 PM. As soon as you get in, I'll run you a nice hot bubble bath with the jacuzzi jets and when you're ready to get out I'll make you a little snack then you can curl up and go to sleep for a few hours? That sound nice?" Jason asks with his soothing Canadian accent. I nod my head as Jason links his hand with mine and leads me out of the room and into the main room where everyone is. "Couldn't find any one out there Jason, all though Ari did see someone, we found foot prints in the dirt but they suddenly stopped. We searched up in the trees and no one was there, who ever done it tried to scare Ariel and it defiantly worked" "Yeah it worked but whoever done it will be dead and hell sorry to ever frighten my girl like that. What if she dropped Nyla?" Jason asks a question all though no one answered, I mean no one needed to it was a rhetorical question. It didn't have and answer. No one knows what would of happened if I dropped Nyla. Jason goes and collects the baby bag that I left in the office from when I ran out and walks back to where all of us, meaning my parents, his parents, Alex, Lauren and the gang are standing before taking Nyla off Lauren gently then taking my hand and walking towards the door.
The gang follows out as we all go back to the cars, Jason doesn't need to lock the warehouse because it's not like much can be stolen, there's nothing in there apart from his desk, couch and chair and he's got enough money to buy a lot more of them if someone steals them.
Jason straps Nyla into her seat safely before getting in and pulling off, he of course grabs my hand and kisses it. All though none of us speak, I know he's reassuring me that no one will get us. And even though I feel safe in Jason's arms I'm worried because no body can just vanish. Without any trace so maybe just maybe, whoever that was I seen has got everything planned out whether or not Jason can protect me, Nyla and my mom.
