Saving Each Other (Niall Horan Fanfic)

Will Her Nightmares Overcome Possible Love?\Chapter Five

NIALL'S POV

It was about 2AM and I had decided to sleep in the guest room which was a wall away from Brianna's room. I was laying in the bed and just thinking about what had happened to her at work how scared she must have been. How I wished I could have been there to protect her. Then the question creeped in my mind, why didn't she tell me? She had said it was because she was afraid that the knowledge was going to make me leave her. I believed her but I knew there was more, I knew she was hiding something. Even though I worried about why she kept it from me, I still knew something. I knew I was going to have to handle this for her make this go from her life. I knew what I had to do, something that I knew I would regret later, but I didn't care. I wanted to make sure this never happened again. I just had to make one phone call but another question entered my mind. Would she want to stay if she knew? My thoughts were broken when I heard Brianna in her room screaming. I ran in to find her still sleep but obviously having a nightmare. She was screaming and crying, her arms and legs were moving all over the place, as if she was fighting someone. I ran over to the bed, pulled the blankets back, climbed in the bed, wrapped my arms around her and held her close until she woke up.

BRIANNA'S POV

I woke up from my nightmare scared, crying, breathing heavily, and nervously looking around. I felt warm strong arms surrounding me, I looked to my right to find Niall staring at me with a look of fear and worry. I turned to him laid my head on his bare chest as he was only wearing boxers, and cried. I forgot he was the one holding me when I cried the words.

"My baby my baby!" Niall started to rub my back and hair gently.

"You dreamt about a baby? What happened to the baby?" I was still lost in fear and memory as I cried.

"She died, I lost her, he knew and he took her from me!" I remembered who was holding me when Niall said,

"Shh, baby it's ok it was just a dream, it wasn't real." I started to calm down but I thought to myself should I tell him?, will he except this? or not.

"I-I have to tell you something." I stuttered as I slightly trembled in his hold, terrified of his reaction to the news I was about to give him of my past.

"What is it baby?" I lifted my head from his chest and looked into his blue eyes that were staring at me, still with the same fearful worried look.

"M-my dream......w-was about me." Niall looked at me now with confusion.

"What do you mean?" I laid in his arms trying not to cry as I told him the story.

FLASHBACK

I laid on the couch in the living room watching TV, rubbing my six months pregnant baby belly. I was at my boyfriend Tyrone's house. I was watching my favorite show when Tyrone came storming in the room.

"Brianna! Why the fuck didn't you cook!?" I quickly sat up and turned the TV off.

"I-I've been throwing up all day" He threw up his arms in aggravation.

"Oh the throwing up shit again right!?" He sighed and shook head.

"Get your pregnant, fat ass in the kitchen and make my fucking dinner!" He said as he walked over to the couch grabbed me by my arm and pushed me to the kitchen. Then sat on the couch and turned on the TV.

"Well what do you want, you never told me." I said while fiddling with my fingers and looking at my big belly. He looked at with a very angry look on his face.

"So you're saying it's my fault you didn't cook?" He said as he got up, and walked towards me.

"No, no I was just asking what you wanted me to make you." I said I as shook my head, waved my hands and backed up into the kitchen. He walked closer to me, raised his hand and slapped me across my right cheek. I fell to the hard, cold, tile floor. I felt my baby girl jump inside me as I landed on my back. I propped myself up using my elbows as the tears welled up in my eyes.
