SAVE US (Harry Styles love story)

I softly placed my baby in her crib as her breath was slowly released and taken back in. I pulled the wooden bars up and tucked the pink of her comforter around her small body. Suddenly the front door slammed and I ran out of the room. Shutting the door tight and locking it before I made my way down the green, carpeted stairs. The key was placed in my back pocket as I stepped carefully down the stairway. " Savannah where are you?!" James yelled. I stumbled down the remaining stairs and through the opening to the kitchen where I found him at the counter downing another shot of whiskey.

"I'm right here Jay." I said softly. His scruffy face turned to me sharply and his figure stood to his full height. James started towards me in an angry manner.

"where is that dumb s*** of a baby?" James asked roughly as he gripped my small triceps. I jerked in his hold, turning my face away as he spat in my hair and laughed. I gritted my teeth. There was nothing that I wanted more than to punch him in the face.

" My beautiful little girl is at her nana's" I lied to him. I was always terrified that he would try to hurt her.

"Beautiful?...." James chuckled darkly. "She looks like you you horse faced little f***!" he exclaimed as he pushed me on the cold tiled floor. I flinched as he threw his shot glass to the floor beside me with a crash. James stomped out of the room and I placed my hands on the ground to pick myself up and fell back to my former position as a piece of glass sunk in to the skin of my palm. I finally got up and walked to the small closet beside the crimson fridge to get the broom and pan.

I heard a cry from my baby and I mumbled a cuss under my breath, my face darting to the kitchen entrance as I propped the broom against the wall and laid the pan beside it. My feet moved as quickly as they could and I ran up the stairs to find the nursery door wide open. A gasp escaped my mouth as I lunged forward and pushed myself through the door. Darcy's screams filled the room as James stood on the other side of her chucking stuffed animals at her as she sat up in her crib.

Her chubby face was blood red and her mouth was wide open as she tried to breath in between sobs before another toy hit her in the face. I ran to pick her up but James pushed me down before I could grab her and he gripped her small body harshly and removed her from her crib. " MAMMMMAAAA!!!!" she squealed as she reached out to me . I stood back up and James was holding My little girl by her hands as he swung her body in the air limply. Her screams were piercing as her body flew side to side.

" Shut up!!!!" he yelled at her, only making things worse. When James realized that Darcy wouldn't stop he launched her at the recliner that sat in the corner of the room and the force caused the chair to turn over and she fell to the ground. I turned around and grabbed the nearest lamp and I ran at James as he stared down upon my baby.

With all my force I crashed the lamp in to the back of his head and his body fell to the floor unconsciously. I jumped over his body and scooped my daughter up in my arms. My eyes scanned over her tiny body, inspecting her injuries. Darcy's wrists were shaded with bruises, cuts ran on her cheek, and her eyes were swollen and red. Darcy choked and sniffled as her head laid on my shoulder. My fingers absentmindedly played with her curls as I rocked her back and forth.

I stepped over James' body and sat her in her crib while I took bags from her closet and started to stuff everything I could in there. I slipped Darcy's pink rain jacket over her small arms and zipped it up tight before I hooked all the bags on me and carried he down the stairs and out the front door. I blinked quickly as the rain water poured through my hair and down my face. My arms were used to squeeze Darcy to my body as I started down the soaked street, planning to go to the only place I knew to go. Louis' house.

Water soaked through my vans as I stumbled down the street. After about an hour of walking through town I finally came across Kendrick Avenue and I turned to walk down the sidewalk. My glance turned to Darcy as I saw her asleep, eyelashes fanned out over her cheeks like her daddy's used to. My own eyes began to grow heavy as I continued my journey. To keep myself awake I began to sing under my breath. "settle down with me....cover me up...cuddle me in...lie down with me... And hold me in your arms..." I sang to myself.
