"Niall?" I called from the living room. Niall was in the kitchen; making dinner.
"Yes?"
"I need to talk to you..." He appeared in the door way; a concerned expression on his face.
"What's wrong?"
"There's something that I didn't tell you earlier. About.., you know.." He now sat beside me.
"Okay.. Do you want to tell me?"
"I... I don't know..."
"You can trust me." He wrapped his arm around my shoulder.
"He put me in the hospital... For two weeks...." Niall's eyes grew wide; his mouth opened a little. "He had beaten me so bad..."
"Shh. It's okay.." He pulled me close and he wrapped both arms around me.
"I had a broken rib and bruises everywhere...."
"You don't have to go on...."
"He threatened my family...."
"Chey...."
"He almost killed me....."
We sat in silence for a few minutes. Him holding me, I holding him. My breathing slowed and I had calm down a little.
"Why don't you help me make the rest of dinner, yeah?" Niall asks.
"Okay."
We both let go of each other and stood up. I turned to walk into the kitchen, but Niall stopped me. He spun me around and embraced me in a hug.
"I'll keep you safe. I won't let anyone hurt you. I love you Cheyenne." He whispered.
"I love you too Niall."
------------------------
"Babe. Wake up." Niall mumbled.
"5 more minutes..."
"Breakfast will be cold by then...."
I turned and faced him, keeping my eyes closed.
"You made breakfast?"
"Yup. So get up!"
He kissed me on my nose and got up. I opened my eyes to see his walking out of the door. I sighed and sat up, stretching. I got up and walked over to the window. Little kids were already playing, birds were chirping, and the early morning sun was shining. There wasn't a cloud in sight.
I walked downstairs and into the kitchen. Niall had plates set out for both of us on the counter. I walked up behind him and hugged him.
"Smells wonderful." I say.
"I thought I smelled your morning breath." He jokes. I scoff.
"Not cool."
He turned around and hugged me. Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. I looked down to see a knife stuck into me. I gasp for air as its pulled out. I look up. I don't see Niall. It's James.
"W-why?" I whisper.
"If I can't have you, no one can."
I fell to the floor in pain. Why is this happening. This can't be happening. I open my eyes and see James hovering above me. He's smiling.
"Good bye Jessie." He says as he -
***************
"Cheyenne! Wake up!"
I sat up in bed with a gasp. I looks around, but I only see darkness. A light turns on and I see Niall sitting beside me.
"Niall?" I whisper.
He wraps his arms around me, I do the same.
"It's okay... It was just a dream..."
"It felt so real.... You- James....."
"Shhh. Don't talk about it... You're okay...." I nod. "Let's get back to sleep... We've got a busy day tomorrow..." I nod again.
We let go of each other and I lay down. Niall reaches over and turns the light off. I feel him turn over and I feel him wrap his arms around me. I scoot closer and wrap my arms around him.
"I'll keep you safe princess." I nod and hug him. "I love you."
"I love you too." I say.
