I make my way towards the living room and look around the corner into the kitchen. I watch her as she makes her way down to where Ashlyn’s room is, and once she clears the doorway I hear another loud bang. “Be careful,” she says, and I nod and open our bedroom door, looking both ways before sending Lilly across the hall. For the first time ever, I wish I kept a gun in the house. “It will be okay,” I tell her, going to the closet and pulling out a baseball bat. Do not come out until I come get you, or until the police come get you.” Get both of them and yourself into the room in the back of Jax closet, shut the door, and call the police. “Go get Ashlyn, take her to Jax’s room, and do as I told you. “Take my phone,” I say, handing her my cell. “Listen to me,” I tell her a little more firmly. Her face is pale as she comes around to my side of the room, her body shaking. I can see Lilly start to panic by the light of dawn coming though the bedroom window. “Look at me, Lil,” I say quietly as another loud bang sounds through the house. “What?” She rolls of the bed quickly, looking around. In the back of his closet is a hidden door. I need you to get the kids and take them both into Jax’s room. She grumbles something, trying to burrow into my side before I shake her gently. I lean over Lilly’s sleeping body and whisper in her ear that she needs to wake up. My stomach tightens as a surge of adrenaline rushes through me. I don’t know what caused me to wake up until I hear another loud bang coming from the kitchen or living room.
