They Don't Know About Us

Total Eclipse Of The Heart - Chapter 22

*PAIGES POV*
"Get the fuck off my friend you bitch!" I shout and scream, realising that Shelby had slipped into unconsciousness. She bites down on my wrist, which is wrapped tightly round her throat. I squeal and fall to the cold floor. "I'm not here for you, you murderer. You kill my daughter, I kill one of your best friends. I want you to suffer like I have." She hisses, keeping her eyes on mine like a snake, ready to shoot poison through my bloodstream. "I didn't ki- kill your daughter! They were torturing us!" I mumble back. The hairs on the back of my neck standing up. She laughs "Of course you did! You gave them the bullets sweetheart. You led them to her. Although if I want you to suffer badly..." She pauses before leaning in so her cold breath hits my face. I stay completely still, how hasn't anybody heard us yet. Where's Niall? Where's the boys? Shelby's still unconscious. "I should go for the little Irish pop star." Anger starts to boil in my tense body at that thought of this whore even touching Niall. "Or I could just stab your abdomen. Now that wouldn't be good for the baby would it Paige!" How does she know all this? I lower my gaze, noticing I'm totally defenceless. The woman grins "Thought so..." She whispers before standing up and heading back towards Shelbys vulnerable, un guarded body. I search the room, begging for there to be something I could use as a weapon against her, before she kills us both. Finally, my eyes lock on a small silver scalpel, used mainly in operations. Without a second thought, I push my damaged body up and throw the medical instrument into her back. She squeals and falls to the ground face down.

A lightheaded feeling erupts in my head. One hand clutches my stomach and the other is pressed against my skull. I manage to reach Shelby's bedside and thankfully see her chest raising and falling as the inspires and expires "You're okay.." I whisper, smiling at myself. Suddenly, all of the lads charge into the room with Chloe, Danielle and Jack. Wait! I though Jack got shot, he had like a 25% chance of survival. Well looks like family can beat all. He and Louis run over to Shelby. "She's okay.." I mumble blinking repeatedly, trying to stay focused but being unsuccessful. "Paige! What happened?" Niall asks confused and worried at how I'm looking. "She...tried...kill us, Shelby. I...I stabbed her..protection...I" I stutter before my body gives way from under me and I fall to the cold hard ground once more. "Oh my god!" I hear Chloe scream. My eyes flash open once more to see Niall, Liam, Harry, Chloe and Danielle around me. "Give her some space! Paige! Paige, baby! Speak to me!" Niall shouts. That's when everything goes dark once more.

-2 days later-
After the second attempt at taking our lives, our security has been heightened. Becky has finally been let out of ICU and is now sharing a room with us. Niall, Louis, Zayn, Jack, Mike and Chloe haven't left the hospital. Harry and Liam have been back and forth from our houses, I feel so sorry for them. But we're okay! I don't know what all the fuss is about. That psychotic woman I now know is called Emily Park, has been jailed for twenty years on attempted murder and man slaughter. She didn't even injury us but the boys wouldn't let her walk free without a fight. I obviously glad about that! "Niall, we're okay! Can we please get out of here before it drives us insane! And you too! None of you have left in days!" I moan at Niall and the others. Although, Shelby and Becky nod as I say this, fully agreeing with me...for obvious reasons. Harry and Liam roll their eyes before smiling. "You've already been released and we have to be back in America by twelve o'clock tomorrow so c'mon! Pack your stuff!" Zayn says before clapping his hands like its some sort of motivation. "What do you mean us?" Becky asks, confused. "You didn't think we were gonna leave you here by yourselves!" Louis continues, rubbing Shelby's upper arm. We're still slightly confused. They all sigh "You're coming on tour with us you idiots!" Niall finally says, trying to be sarcastic. Of course it works. "Yay us!" Chloe shouts, back to her old self. "Well what are we waiting for? Lets go!" Harry says before leading the way out of the room. Me, Becky and Shelby had gotten back into our comfortable clothes hours ago. After forcing the doctors to take the wires from our bodies and separate us from those useless frigging machines. 

Everyone's left the room but me. I push my bags onto my shoulders and slide my hands under the pillow. I bring out the picture from my baby scan. It's only been a couple of weeks so you can tell its a baby but I know he or she is there. And that's all that matters. "C'mon Paige! We don't wanna miss the plane!" Shelby says seriously and excitedly. "I coming! Don't get your knickers in a twist!" I reply sarcastically before smiling and giving her a long needed hug. America. Here we come.
