That Night

"I've just put Amelia down." I said as I sat down next to Luke. Ashton was in his room doing whatever and the others were in the kitchen making dinner. god help us.

"How did you get the bruising?" Luke asked in almost a whisper.

"3 days ago, when yo-"

"3 days ago and you didn't tell me?" He said sounding a bit angry.

"Let me finish. 3days ago, when you were at band practice, well on your way, Jack came round. I didn't even know he knew where we lived but he came in and demanded her. He tried to push past me but I didn't let him. He was really strong and pushed me to the ground. He was checking every room except the one she was in. I tried getting up but it was no use. It just hurt too much. When I finally got standing, he pushed me back down. Then he went to check the room Amelia was in. Luckily by this time Michael had come back to grab something. If he hadn't I don't know what I would've done. He saved Amelia from being taken. And that's why I was hugging Michael. Before you ask why I didn't tell you, I didn't want you to worry. I'm fine its just some bruising. Amelia's fine. We are all fine." I said as a tear rolled down my cheek.

"I'm so sorry." Was all he said. I had no idea why he was sorry but I didn't ask. I just hugged him tightly.

---2am---

I woke up suddenly from a nightmare. Jack had taken Amelia and gone. I've never really been a nightmare person before but tonight I had a really bad one. I sat up, sweat dripping from my forehead. I wanted to wake Luke up but I know he needs his sleep. I sat there for at least 3 minutes breathing really heavily. It was like something was stuck down there causing me to have trouble breathing. This is enough.

"Luke..Luke.."I said quietly. He stirred and faced me.

"Are you okay babe?" He asked with a worried tone. I tried to reply but my breathing just got heavier. "Stay here, I'll get you some water. Just breathe okay?" I nodded. Soon enough Luke came back with a glass of water. He sat down and rubbed circles on my back, trying to calm me down. "Better?" He asked. But it wasn't better. I was still having trouble breathing. I shook my head.

I tried getting up with Luke's help to go to the bathroom but then I noticed an empty cot. WHERES AMELIA?! the dream. It was all real. I looked around the room to see it spinning and black spots showing up. That's when it all went black.
