Truth or Dare

Chapter 22~One Shot Can Change Everything~

~~~~~~Eight Months Later~~~~~

~Madeline's POV~

I've been locked in here for what it feels like an eternity, but was actually eight months. My child is most likely about to be born and I don't know how. I mean, these people don't know and they would probably slaughter it anyway.

The whole time I've been beaten, raped, and starved quite often. I still have no idea what's going to happen to me or my baby, or Niall.

For sure, all I know is that I have about three fractures fingers and there is blood everywhere. I don't think things could get worse. I rubbed my stomach and tried to make myself feel better.

I calmly said,"Everything's going to be okay." I really didn't believe myself but I felt like I needed to be comforted and Niall obviously isn't here so who else would?

That's when the guys and my 'mom' stormed in and she spoke angrily,"We have to leave with you, the police have found us and they're with some of your little friends."

I heard banging on the door and I then heard Liam and Niall's voice along with a few police men. "OPEN UP!!" The police demanded while Liam and Niall were screaming,"MADELINE!!!"

"They wanna come in? Let them." One of the men said. The other one opened the door and they both pulled out guns. My mom was unchaining me to bring me away.

Niall came to my side and slapped her in the face very hard. She fell and he finished unchaining me and rushes me behind him against a wall. He was acting as a force field and that when the guy pointed his gun at Liam.

Seeing that, I felt something making me run in front of him. Right when they pulled the trigger I was in front of Liam and they shot my lower stomach. I heard screams and then as soon as I saw my blood I blacked out.

~Niall's POV~

Boom, Blood, Dead, is all I see besides Liam and I plus the cops. They had shot her mom and the two guys dead right there.

I turned around to see Madeline lying on the floor, eyes closed. That's when my whole world seemed to be ended right in my face.

Liam is beside her rocking her. I run to her side and sit by her. "Its okay babe." I said starting to cry while I rocked her back and forth in my arms. The cops called an ambulance and I didn't want to leave her side but they had to rush her to the ER.

~Madeline's POV~

When I finally woke up I was being rushed into the ER. Niall was by my side and so was Liam, I knew I wasn't alone in this. When we got into the room they put the mask on me to fall asleep.

I started getting drowsier and drowsier until I couldn't hold my eyes open any longer. I fell asleep.

~Niall's POV~

This was the closest hospital to that motel and they had a watching room where you could see what was happening. They said that they were going to preform a C-section,they had to, otherwise she and the baby would die from the shot.

She's already asleep and me and Liam are so nervous. I think he called everyone because eventually we were all in there; me, Liam, Louis,Gabbie, ' Briana, Drew, Zayn, Harry, Ava, and she brought Tylor, this must be extremely awkward for Liam.

I could feel the nervousness in the room because everyone knew the situation. It was so silent that we heard the first stomach slice and we all gasped.

One of the nurses put on the radio that can only be heard in the area. But still, the sound of fear was not drowned out.

When the baby finally was delivered a tear dripped down my eye, I'm a father now. It was a girl and thank god she came out kicking and screaming. The second most important thing to me is for surely alive.

I checked Madeline's heart rate monitor every about five seconds and she's still alive. So that's when I knew for sure that my world was not going anywhere anytime soon.

The nurse motioned for us to come in the room, I think they needed to tell us something. I was terrified, I couldn't be loosing her or the baby, not this quickly. She looked fairly calm so I guess that's a good thing.

When we all got there, well most of us, Ava and Tylor were making out but then, they stopped and held each others hands as they started walking in the room. Liam looked at them and made a pissed off look. I've never seen him that mad.

"Liam, are you jealous?" I asked him quietly. He looked at me like a retarded person and said, "Hell no, I'm mad because Madeline may or may not be okay and they're sitting over there with their tongues down each others throats." He said angrily.

I could understand that though, this is extremely serious and Tylor's got her wrapped up in like a spell. It just wasn't right.

I looked at then one last time when they made it to the room. I gave them a disgusted face and then turned back around.

That's when my heart stopped as the nurse walked up to me. "Are you the baby's father?" She asked me looking at a folder. "Yes, Niall Horan." I replied.

"Okay, well this is what's happened. The bullet that they are trying to get out (by the way) had hit the baby and it messes with a nerve from the spinal cord." She said taking a break. I nodded and she continued.

"Your baby.....is going to be.....deaf for it's entire life. I'm sorry to tell you that, I know it's upsetting." She said with a sorry look and walked away. I was really shocked. I walked to Madeline's side and held her hand in mine and kissed it.

She slowly opened her eyes,"Is everything okay?" She asked. "Yea but honey, our baby is going to be....." I gulped, "Deaf for its entire life." Her eyes widened and they brought her the baby, she was beautiful.

"Peyton Marie." She said looking into her blue/green hazel eyes. "I love that name already." I said motioning for the baby. I started playing with her and she held a tight grip on my thumb with her tiny fingers. I never want to let go of her.
