You're Just A Daydream Away

Chapter 20

A few weeks later...

I woke up in the middle of the night which is strange for me. Usually I'm a very sound sleeper.

I was trying to get back to sleep when I heard noises coming from the kitchen. Then a light flipped on.

I quickly shook Niall awake knowing that someone was definitely in the house.

"What babe? What is it?" he asked quietly in his groggy voice. I pointed towards the door where I could now see a shadow, not wanting to talk and risk being heard.

He gave me a terrified look that I returned. I didn't know who it was or what they wanted.

My first instinct was to grab my phone and call 911 or text someone, but both of our phones were across the room charging. We definitely weren't risking making noise walking across the room to get one of them.

I clung onto Niall with all my might. I was scare to death. I never imagined something like this would happen to me. I kept my eyes pressed shut.

Suddenly, I felt myself being pulled off of Niall and thrown down on the floor, landing on my back.

I kept my eyes closed through all of this. I didn't know what was happening.

"What are you doing to her?! What's happening?! No! Stop!" I heard Niall yelling frantically from across the room. His voice was cut of suddenly like his mouth was being covered.

I bravely opened my eyes very quickly to see what was going on and because I wanted to see his eyes if we were going to die. That's the last thing I would want to see if I had to choose.

Unfortunately though, when I opened my eyes, I didn't even get to search the room for him because a sharp, shining knife was being pointed right at me.

I was in shock and didn't even think to scream or anything. I closed my eyes again and prepared myself for the pain that would surely come.

I felt a sharp, stabbing pain repeatedly. I cried out in pain several times. When I tried to locate where the pain was coming from, I realized it was in my lower abdomen. Right where the baby is.

I screamed again, but this time more from fear than pain. All I could think about was what would happen to the baby. Where they were stabbing, the person was obviously aiming to hurt the baby, not me.

I might have been freaked out when I first learned I was pregnant, but Niall and I had both grown found of the idea. We were so excited to have a child.

I could feel tears spilling out of my eyes. My hands had been laying by my sides this whole time. By now, I could feel blood had dripped down my stomach and it was all over my arms, hands and the floor.

Please God just let this be over soon.
