Melissa's POV:

"Baby, everything's gonna be fine," Justin assures while steering the wheel on the car.

I groan.

"Justin, I just can't help but-"

"Babe, don't stress."

I groan once more and bury my face into my hands.

I feel one of Justin's hand rest on my knee as I feel my heart ache.

"Baby please. Bare with me. I promise we're gonna get Bella back."

I lift up my head and look at him.

"Bella shouldn't have to go through this Justin," I bring up.

He sighs, keeping his attention on the road.

"I know baby girl. I know," he breathes out.

"Then, why are we-"

I stop in mid sentence, hesitating to continue.

He glances over quickly, seeing my expression before turning his eyes back to the road.

"Why are we what?," he asks.

I shake my head and sigh.

"Justi-"

"No, finish what you were gonna say," he demands.

"No," I boldly reply.

"Why the hell not?"

"Because I don't wanna start bullshit between us Justin. That's the last thing we need."

He takes his hand off my knee and pulls the car the side, putting it in park.

He turns his head to face me, his honey brown eyes piercing into mine.

"You're right princess."

I raise my eyebrow.

"Huh?"

"You're right. We shouldn't be arguing, especially now. I understand how you're feeling baby. I feel the same. But, I promise you baby girl. Nothing will happen to you and Bella. When I say that, I mean I'll do whatever it takes to make sure you both are alive."

I nod.

He chuckles and leans forward, connecting our lips together.

He grabs my chin, our lips moving in sync before I pull away, leaving him confused.

"What's wrong baby?," he asks.

"I love your kisses Justin, but we have to go back to finding Bella."

He nods.

"I love you baby girl and I promi-"

He stops with a cautious look on his face.

"What's wr-"

"Shhh!," he says, silencing me.

He listens again, extremely carefully.

"Someone's watching us," he reveals.

"How do you know?," I ask.

"When you're in a gang baby girl, silence can be a good and bad thing."

He shoves his hand in his pocket and takes his gun out.

"In this case, it's a bad thing," he finishes.

He gets out the car and looks around, before shooting in a million directions, making me jump out of my skin.

"COME OUT AND FIGHT! DON'T BE A FUCKIN' PUSSY!!," he shouts, continuing his shots.

I stare at him, seeing his body language full of anger.

He stops his shots for now, clenching his gun tightly in his hand.

"FUCKIN' FIGHT ME!," he screams.

The next thing I know, a young male comes out of the trees and stops, looking at Justin before staring at me, his gaze never leaving me.
