When Love Conquers Two

Chapter 26

Previously in When Love Conquers Two
It was the day of Kathleen's funeral. Sarah broke down crying a lot. Niall was there the entire time for her and helped her through the day. Sarah gave Kathleen's eulogy. Gemma brought up to Sarah how gentle Niall has been to Sarah when Niall wasn't around. Sarah got a call from Alvin asking if she can come visit him. Sarah and Niall both agree to meet up with Alvin the next day.
--------------------------------------------------------
It's the next day. Wendy and James were glad to see us yesterday and hoped to keep in touch. When we told Harry and Louis about going to see Alvin, Harry, of course, was pissed and sided against it. However with the help of Louis, we got Harry to understand that it's okay for us to go and it's only to get answers from him. Niall and I are currently in our hotel room. I'm getting ready to leave for the prison while Niall is already dressed and ready. He's just waiting on me to finish up. I have on my leather jacket, a maroon shirt that's somewhat loose on me, black skinny jeans, and black combat boots. I straightened my hair earlier. I'm currently finishing up my makeup when I hear my name being called. "Yea, Ni?" I ask from our hotel room bathroom. "It's 10:45, you almost ready?" Niall asks. "Yea, just give me another minute," I say. I put my makeup away. I go to the nightstand and put on my engagement ring and fake diamond earrings in. "You ready?" I ask putting my phone in my back pocket while facing Niall. "Physically, yes. Mentally, no," Niall says standing up. I chuckle at that as he comes over to me. "Come on, let's just go get this over with," I say extending my hand towards him. Niall takes my hand and we walk out of the hotel room. We go to our rental car parked out front. Niall opens my door for me. I thank him as I climb into the car. He nods his head as a your welcome before closing my door. I put my seat belt on as Niall goes over to his side. My phone goes off as Niall gets in. I answer it after realizing it's Harry. "Hey, Harry. We're leaving the hotel now," I say after Niall gets out the directions to the prison. He starts to pull out of the hotel parking lot. "Alright, let us know what he ends up saying," Harry says. "I will, I'll call you when we get back to the hotel," I say looking out the window. "Alright, I'll let you go," he says. We say goodbye before hanging up. I put my phone in my lap. A sigh escapes my lips. "You alright?" I hear Niall ask me. I look over at him. "Just not prepared to face Alvin. So many things could go wrong today and I just don't want to deal with it," I say thinking about how bad today will go. Niall's hand goes on top of mine. "It'll be okay. No matter what happens or what we find out, I'll be with you. I won't let anything happen to you ever again," Niall says calmly. I look over at him. Niall hates Alvin with a burning passion and vise versa. Meeting with each other can not be easy for them, but Niall somehow still helps me make sure everything is okay. This is why I think he can do better. He puts up with so much of my bullshit that any other girl would be so much better to deal with than me. Why he wants to marry me is beyond me. "I know you won't. I just need to remind myself that Alvin can't hurt me anymore," I say looking out the window. "I'll be right by your side. When things become to much to handle, just tell me and we can leave," Niall says. I feel his eyes land on my for a second. I let out a big yawn. I didnt sleep well last night. I was up most of the night worrying about today. "Get some rest, we have an hour until we get to there," Niall says. I nod my head before my eye lids fall shut. I fall asleep shortly after.

Dream
I look around me to see I'm in an unknown room. My body moves like I know where exactly to go. It's like my mind is just along for the ride. My body takes me to a kitchen. I grab supplies to make some sort of meal for two. I notice my engagement ring is on. I feel a pair of arms go around me. I look down and place the knife I have down that I was using to cut vegtables. "I thought you were out with the guys?" dream me asks turning around. I see it's Niall. "We decided to call it a night. I wanted to spend quality time with my beautiful wife instead," Niall says. He kisses me and dream me kisses back. A loud bang makes us pull apart. It sounds like a door just got slammed open. "Stay here," Niall says walking over to where I assume the front door hallway is. Niall leaves the room. "What the fuck are you doing here?" I hear Niall say angrily. "Niall? Who is it?" I ask worried. Niall comes back into the kitchen with his hands up. "Niall? What's wrong?" I ask confused. Alvin then comes walking in with a pistol in his hand. "Alvin, I thought you were in prison?" I ask scared. Niall comes over to me. "I told you that you would pay. You should've went with Barbra, Trevor, and me all those years ago. I promised you that you'd pay. And I keep my promises," Alvin says. He points the gun straight at my chest. Alvin pulls the trigger and everything is in slow motion. Niall pushes me out of the way right as the bullet wrips through his chest. "Niall!" I scream as he collapses. I fall to my knees by his side. I feel tears fall down my face as I put a cloth onto the place where the bullet went through. "You'll be okay. You'll make it through this, I know it," I say. "Hey-Sarah look at me," Niall says. I look at his face and see pain all over it. "I'm not going to make it-" "Don't say that, you will," I say trying to be strong. "No, I'm not. The bullet went straight through my chest, I wouldn't be surprised if it hit a major artery," he says. I sob even harder. Niall takes my left hand in his right. "Hey, it'll be okay. You're strong. Just remember, I love you. I always have and always will. You'll make it through this. I love you so much, Sar" Niall says squeezing my hand. "I love you so much, Ni," I say through the tears. Niall's eyes close after that and his hand goes limp. "Niall? Niall!"
