Beautiful Disaster; Beautiful Reality.

Stranger..?

"I'm s-sorry." I cried. To be honest I think I was making things worse by crying but I couldn't help it. If only I'd been there for her. I wish I was. It's all my fault...

10 hours earlier.
So I wake up and see Hannah curled up next to me. She looked so peaceful. I tried to slip out of bed but I was too comfortable. I looked at the clock on my bedside table. 11. Ah, it's only- wait! Our appointment at the doctors is at half eleven! I jumped out of bed and ran around trying to find some trousers when Hannah woke up. She rubbed her eyes and looked at me through confused eyes.
"What are you doing?" She questioned as I stopped to look at her mid way through putting my trousers on.
"We have an appointment at eleven thirty." I said calmly. She looked at the clock and her eyes grew wide.
"Why didn't you wake me up?!?" She half shouted.
"Shhh.. It's ok. We'll get there on time and don't stress it's bad for the baby, our baby." I smiled as she sat on the bed stroking her tummy. She was starting to show a bit now and it made my heart flutter seeing that tiny little bump grow bigger knowing that my child's in there. She started to get dressed in a loose shirt so her small bump didn't show and some skinny jeans. I just threw on a multicoloured top and some deep seaweed green jeans.
I walked her to the car, held the door open, and gently shut it after her. It only took 15 minutes to get inside the hospital. Luckily we were a couple of minutes early. The waiting room was filled with heavily pregnant women and I felt very out of place as there was only one other man. We smiled politely at each other and looked at our partners and smiled at each other again. He was way more nervous than I was. I was purely excited to see my child on the ultrasound. Hannah was resting her head on my shoulder and had one hand on her tummy. She looked so... mum-like. Just perfect.
Then a short chubby nurse with short ginger hair and green eyes came in and smiled.
"Ms. Brown?" Hannah's eyes darted up and looked at the short nurse. The nurse smiled at her and we slowly followed her into the small room where a young smiley doctor was waiting. She had long brown hair tied up in a pony tail and bright blue eyes. She gestured for Hannah to get on the bed and for me to sit but I stood and held Hannah's hand.
"Right, my name is Dr. Phillips but you can call me Zoe." She smiled at us again and went through some details like our ages and if it was her first, when she found out she was pregnant and if there was any family history she should know.
"Alrighty, then let's get this ultrasound done to see baby." She said then placed the cold blue gel on Hannah's stomach.
"Oh! It's cold!" Hannah giggled. I watched in amazement as a small figure of a baby appeared on the screen.
"I-is that a...?" Hannah's voice trailed off.
"A penis?" Hannah giggled again.
"So mature!" I teased.
"Yeah. Congratulations you're going to have a boy!" The doctor announced. Hannah looked over the moon but for me it was just sinking in. I'm going to be a dad. I'm going to have a son. A son.
We left and I got a text from Zuleika.
'Hey! I haven't seen you in forever. You said you had news so come here and spill now! I miss my brother. Xx'
Hmmm... Why now? I bet she knows about the baby.
"Hannah? Zuleika  wants to see me and gossip again. Are you going to be alright if I go and set her straight about the news I wanted to tell her?" I ask slowly.
"Yeah. I'll be fine. It's only a few minutes walking to get to your flat." She smiled sweetly at me.
"Thanks. And I'll see you both later!" I said as I kissed her on the cheek and headed to Zuleika's flat.
I got there after a fifteen minute walk. I was greeted by a hyper, very hyper Zuleika.
"Mika!!!!" She screened as she flung herself at me.
"Zuleika." I greeted her calmly. She dragged me in and started questioning me... It was going to be a long afternoon.

Hannah's pov
Typical Zuleika! Of course she'd text him when we were supposed to be celebrating. I started my quick walk home through the busy streets when it started to rain; lightly at first then heavily, very heavily. I decided to take the shortcut down a skinny alley way. I usually go this way when I'm in a rush and don't want to take the long way through the park. It was light so there was no danger. Just normal. I thought I heard footsteps behind me so I quickened my pace. So did the footsteps. Maybe they just didn't like the rain? I started to run and I didn't hear the footsteps anymore. I was going to go to Mika's flat when I realised I didn't have a key. I decided that I should go and tell my parents about the baby so I hid under a covered bus shelter and texted Mika.
'Hey, love. No key to your flat so going to parents. Please come when your done; they'd love to meet you. -Hx' I watched as it sent and kept quickly walking to my old home.

I turned the corner and saw the 8 story building. The old red doors on the bottom were locked so I enter the number password into the shiny pad. It beeped and the door clicked open. I looked at the newly whitewashed walls and saw the extremely long stairs. I was way too tired to bother with them so I took the lift. I waited for the lift to come down and I heard the door click again. Once the lift was here I pressed number 8 and a man came running and got in too.
"Which floor did you press?" He questioned.
"Umm 8. Is that ok?" I replied happily. To be honest I was on top of the world.
"Yeah. My flats there too. I'm new around here." He smiled as the lift started to move. Suddenly he took out a knife and the smile turned into an evil smirk; mine dropped and I retreated until I hit the back of the lift. He grabbed me and cut one of my arms so blood splattered all over the lift. I screamed but he shoved his hand over my mouth to muffle the sound. He then pushed me hard into the wall so I fell to the floor.
"S-stop" I whimpered.
"Why?" His gruff voice scratched my ears like glass. He started to hit and beat me whilst taking the £16 I had left and my phone. He kissed my cheek and I shivered. He then kicked me in the private area and I whimpered as I didn't have the strength to scream.
"D-don't hurt t-the b-" I was cut off by him kicking my chest and my upper stomach then the doors opened he punched me in the face and the darkness came in as the doors closed again leaving me alone, in pain, helpless, and out cold.
