Chapter 29

later

There were sirens blaring, my babies screaming, plenty of voices hitting me all at once. I couldn't concentrate. I turned around for Shawn, shaking him. "wake up Shawn, please!" I was begging, i'd do anything. 

"ma'am, step aside please." a man in white spoke. "don't touch him!" I yelled, in distress. I placed Paige and North carefully in their cots and ran over to Shawn. "I said don't touch him!" I screamed. 

"step aside please ma'am." he said again. "leave him alone!" I pushed the random man away from Shawn. The man in white pulled a gun out of his left pocket. "step aside, ma'am." he said, sternly. I silently moved away from Shawn's unconscious body. "both arms up in the air please." he said, watching my every move. I shook my head, I wasn't going to answer a nobody. "hands up in the air, or else." he spoke, threatening me with his gun. 

I was shaking all over. The hairs on the back of my arms were swept up with terror. Who was this man? Where was the ambulance? Why were there police cars outside? What did he want with Shawn? I stared at him hard, who was he?

"name?" I asked, nervously. He spun around and laughed hysterically. Then it hit. I had a physco in my house, a physco with a gun in his hand, with Shawn right next to him. 

"what's your name?" I asked, hoping for an answer this time. The man in white turned round to face me. "be quite." he managed to speak through a mask. A mask with a clown painting over it. A joker. 

He stared into my eyes, tilting his head to the left and to the right, analysing my body. Where was the ambulance?

"which side do you prefer, your left or your right?" he asked me, grinning widely. "why?" I asked, horrified. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a blade. 

"stay away." I screamed, walking backwards. The man laughed hysterically, loudly and insanely. "STAY AWAY." I yelled. Instead of what I said, he ran up to me and got hold of my neck. 

I looked over to Shawn. "help me." I managed to say, whilst being strangled, to his unconscious body. 

I know its my end. Is this how I die? Being caught by a violent man and being strangled to death? 

I gasped for air, kicking him, but he grabbed my legs, not letting go. He had a very strong grip. He looked at then blade and then at me, laughing loudly. "please, let me go." I begged, smacking his face. 

His mask fell down. His face was now revealed. 

I gasped in shock. It couldn't be. "Niall?" I questioned, breathing all the air I can get. He let go of my neck, running downstairs and slammed the door. I watched him leave the house. Just as soon as he got to the end of the street, he turned around, stared at me and showed me the knife. He laughed hysterically and ran off, smiling at all the strangers.

It can't have been. Was this all a dream?

I heard sirens from downstairs. It was the ambulance. I let them in, making sure no Niall was in with them, grabbed my babies and went into the ambulance with Shawn. 

Niall had knocked Shawn down unconscious, using a baseball bat. Niall was going to shoot him. He was going to stab me. 

Those words echoed into my mind as I sat in the ambulance, silently rocking the twins to sleep.
