Welcome To The Family.

I got woke up with crying, I looked at the time, 1.52am, I groaned and rubbed my eyes, I got out of my bedand walked into Layla's room, I picked her up and rocked her back and forth, "There, there, baby girl, it's okay" she quietened down a bit but she was still cranky, I walked into little Zackys room and I could hear him snoring away, I let out a soft laughed and walked down the stairs with Layla, making her a bottle of milk, I sat down on the sofa, feeding my little girl, everything was peaceful until I heard a knock at the door. I stared at the window, thanking God I decided to close the curtains earlier on, not something I usually do, I was now praying Layla wouldn't make a noise, another knock came at the door, I closed my eyes, I hope little Zacky doesn't hear it and doesn't wake up.

I put Layla on the rug next to the fireplace and gave her a soft toy to hold, I walked to the door, careful not to take a sound, I looked through the peep hole, there was a man standing, dressed all in black, his face was covered with a bandana, he held something in his hand, it looked sharp, he tried the door handle, shaking it, I started to panic, I walked into the living room and picked up Layla who was now fast asleep, I walked up the stairs, the panic growing in my stomach, the man was still trying the handle, I walked quickly into my room and grabbed my phone, I then walked into little Zackys room, I locked the door behind me and sat Layla next to her still snoring brother.

I looked at my phone, in a panic I called Brian, his phone kept ringing and at this point I could hear the man banging the front door. Brian finally picked up.

"Brian, I need you to get to Zackys house as soon as possible please Brian" I begged Brian, the panic was apparent in my voice.

"Sienna? What's wrong, why do I need to come to Zackys?" His speech was slurred, I forgot the were all drinking, I let out a sob. "Brian" was all I managed to get out, he kept on asking what's wrong, I couldn't answer him, I heard something smashing downstairs, I ended the call and phoned the police.

"9-1-1, what's you're emergency" a woman said on the other end of the phone.

"Someone's broken into mmy house, I have two small children, please send the police, please, quickly" I begged the woman, I could hear foot steps coming up the stairs "I need you're address Miss" I told her my address and told her to hurry up.

"I want you to stay on the line, try and keep calm, please, how old are your children?" I let out a silent sob "They.. they aren't even a month old" I heard the man stop at the door, I covered my mouth with one hand, trying to stop myself from crying.

He started to kick the door "Stay away from us, take what ever you want but just stay away from us!" I shouted, waking both my children up"Miss is he on the other side of the door?" I leet out a cry "Yes, he's trying to get in, I have my back against the door"

I heard people barge in the front door "Police!" I heard a man shouting, I let of a cry of relief but it didn't stop the guy from kicking down the door, I fell forward, my phone fell out of my hand, the man never said a word to me, he grabbed my hair and pulled me to the other side of the room so we were facing the door, I heard a clicking noise and I realised he had a gun at my head, I started crying but the man gripped my hair tighter, I looked over at my babies, the were both awake, making small crying sounds because they had been disturbed from their sleep.

I heard footsteps coming up the stairs, slow and steady, the man held them to because he pushed the gun into my head. The copper looked in at us "Drop your weapon!" He yelled pointing his gun at the man, I heard an other set of heavy footsteps running up the stairs, soon the police man was joined by another who was also pointing a gun at the man.

The man done nothing but laugh "Don't you think I have the upper hand? Now drop your weapons or this pretty little thing gets her head blown" I've heard that voice, I know who this is, I know who is trying to kill me, I leet out a cry and the man hit me on the back of the head with his gun, both the police men did as the were told. "Now leave, or she dies, I'm not fucking around" He spat at them, they both backed away slowly, calling for back up.

The man grabbed my face, making me look at him, he squeezed my cheeks making me cry "This time you got lucky, next time you won't be able to call the police, ive done this a thousand times, and I've gotten away with it each time, and you know that, word of advice, spend you're next few days wisely, it's your last" he hit my face with the gun and it sent a pain up through my head, he didn't hit me hard enough to knock me out but he hit me hard enough to leave a mark.

Before I knew it the man was gone, he climbed out the window and was no where to be seen. "Help!" I yelled, the police men from before ran into my babies room and kneeled down next to me "Where did he go?" One of the coppers was yelling "Fuck, he got away, how could we let him get away!?" I was crying, I was going to die, I was going to die and there is nothing I can do about it.

Soon I was took outside with my babies, they were placed in their prams, everyone made sure the were wrapped up, the police put a blanket over me and let me sit in the front passenger seat. They asked me a few questions, and then left me be. Soon there was three police cars and an ambulance, I could see the neighbours staring and the police going around doors asking if they had seen or heard anything, most of them said no and some of them said they heard a loud noise, like glass being broken, I looked at Zackys house and sure enough there was a massive hole where the glass for the window should have been.

A taxi pulled up and out stumbled Zacky, Matt and.. Gena!? I felt the anger inside me build up and then I could feel the hurt in my chest. "What the fuck" I heard Zacky say, he was starting at his house, the broken window, Gena was hanging from him, I felt sick looking at the scene before me, Matt was looking around at everything then he saw me and my babies.

He put his hands up to his head and mouthed something, he ran over to me "Fuck, Sienna, what happened? Zacky got a phone call about his house being burgled or something, why are you here?" He looked at me confused, I let out a sarcastic laugh "I've been living with Zacky, I haven't been living with a friend, I've been living with him, why do you think he always offers to pick me up, can't you all out two and two together" I rolled my eyes and sniffled, I feel like a dirty secret.

"Shit, Sienna, so you were in when... Did they fucking hurt you?" He noticed the bruise forming on my forehead, his jaw went tense and he stood up with clenched fists.

"He's already away, the police are looking for him" he looked at me, his eyes were filled with hate and anger "And they couldn't have arrested him then and there?" He yelled a bit, Zacky and Gena turned around and saw me, Gena looked at Zacky confused and he just stared at me, like he fucked up.

"He was already gone before they showed up" I lied to him "I only got hit because I tried to stop him from going upstairs" I looked away so he couldn't tell if I was lying or not but he seemed to have bought my story "Mother fucker" he said to himself.

He looked over at my sleeping babies and let out a sigh "We should have got here when you phoned Brian" I shook my head, Zacky and Gena made there way over to Matt and I.

"Did you break into Zack's house!?" Gena yelled at me, which got some attention from the nearby police who were taking statements from people.

"I wish that was the case" I said to her. "But that's not the case, I was staying there" I looked up at her again but she wasn't looking at me, she was looking Zacky.

"Are you hurt?" Zacky asked but I ignored him, "Sienna, please don't ignore me, not now" I let his words go in one ear and out the other, he let out a frustrated groan.

The police had walked over to Mme "Is there anyone you can stay with for a few nights?" I tried to think but before I could answer Matt had answered for me "She can stay with me, that's no problem" the police nodded at him and Matt gently squeezed my shoulder.

"Thanks, Matt, really" I smiled at him and he smiled back.
