"I'm very sorry Mr Styles" the doctor said "he didn't make it"

My body laid weak upon the hospital bed. The pristine white sheets now covered in blood and sweat. The plastic looking nurses place the tiny limp body of the baby on my chest as they laughed. I looked down at the child whose skin was a pale blue and was not moving.

Flashes started to appear before my eyes and suddenly, a parade of photographers and journalists are gathered around me. They began to make slow harmonised chuckles with the nurses, which grew into loud laughs and screams. They began to crow closer and closer. All their eyes were completely black and their smiles were as evil as killers.

"No!" I waved them away weakly "get away!"

Their faces became darker and the camera flashes became brighter. And in one synchronised motion, they instantly flung their hands at me and stated to grab and claw my skin. I looked down at my arms and watch as the cuts from the fingernails stated pouring blood. I stated to scream but their laughs overtook my cries.

I held the baby's body close to me, closed my eyes tight and screamed for help when everything turned black.

My body instantly flung itself from my bed the moment my eyes shot open. I panted hard. Just a dream I told myself calm down Harry, it was just a dream. I placed my hand on my chest and felt my heart pounding against my ribs. Before long, my bedroom door flung open and Louis quick hand flicked the light on. "What is it what's wrong?" He spoke so quickly I couldn't even understand the question.

"Just another-nightmare" I said through breaths

"Again?" Louis asked

I nodded slowing my breathing down.

My nightmares have become more intense and vivid as the days have gone by. They can vary from losing Louis to being back in the alley way with the man.

Louis came to the side of the bed and sat up next to me and wiped away my curls covering my hot face.

"It wasn't moving" I started

"What wasn't?" He asked curiously

"The baby and they all just laughed..." I trailed off starting to panic again

"And their eyes... Were so cold and dark... They tried to grab the baby but I wouldn't let them"

"it's okay" Louis rubbed my back, whispering softly "you're okay now"

I looked up to him a small side smile. It was true; it was okay now that he was with me.

"I'll go get you some water" he got up but I quickly took grasp of his hand, pulling him back.

"Stay with me" I pleaded softly

He looked back at me and nodded ever so slightly accepting my request

He shut the door silently, turned off the light and crawled in beside me. He threw the thin sheet over the both of us and cradles his strong arms around me. I rested my head on his bare chest and curled up to him. I blinked my eyes a few times before falling asleep to his steady heartbeat.

I woke to the sound of intense rumbling. I drowsily lifted myself up a bit to watch my phone shuffle along with every vibration. I turned to Louis, still sleeping soundlessly. I rubbed my eyes, messed around with my hair and decided to get up to answer my phone without disturbing him. I shut my bedroom door softly and slide to answer the phone.

"Hello..." I mumbled out still waking up

"Harry! Good to hear your awake" the voice said ecstatically
