The Guns.

Four; Ready?

Justin's P.O.V

I had pulled up right outside Ariana's house. I got out of the car & stood beside the door. I texted her telling her that I was there waiting outside. the anxiety & nervousness grew in me.

Suddenly I heard a soft voice. "Hey." It was Ariana. she was smiling.

"You look amazing." I said giving her a hug.

"Where are we going?" she asked as I was opening the passenger door.

"Anywhere you wanna go." I smiled. shutting the door after she got in. running to the other side, pulling my door open, & falling into the car.

"Lets go get food. im hungry." she said, starting a slight laugh.

I rolled my eyes & began to drive.

-later

we finally got into the restaurant. we sat down at an empty booth. a waitress came out, brought menus & ordered our drinks.

"Justin.. Last time we did something was forever ago. what have you been doing?"

I choked back a lie. knewing I needed to let it out before she found out & got mad.

"my lifestyle has changed.. a lot." I said. almost spatting out at her.

"how? if you don't mind me asking." she softly said, sliding her cold hand over onto mine.

"I kill people for a living.. Ariana I'm a gangster. I do hits on warehouses & I work with guys.. I'm sorry."

we both sat there in silence. what felt like forever was only a few seconds.

"you would.. never hurt me would you?.." she said. I could tell she was holding back her tears. only reason so she wouldn't ruin her make up.

"never. I already hurt enough people as it is.." the flashbacks flowing into my mind.

"How's your family?" she said. changing the subject.

"What family? they don't talk to me. not since I got Jaxon killed." there it was. the badass finally had tears streaming down his face. Before I knew it, Ariana had slipped into my booth hugging me.

"don't let me hurt anyone else Ariana.. please." I said silently crying.

"I won't. do you wanna come over & you can stay with me?"

"yeah that'd be okay."

We finally decided we should leave. we were out in the parking lot getting into the car. I cranked it up & drove down to her house. she had picked up my cigarettes. I nodded before she could ask me if I smoked. it's become a pretty bad habit. we finally pulled up into her driveway.

"How's your side?" Ariana said, breaking the silence.

"It's alright. Still in a bit of pain."

"Well I could imagine." she unlocked the door. dragging me upstairs.

We were laying down in her bed. Her head on my chest. it felt perfect, like we were meant to be there. we had both fallen asleep pretty quickly.

-Justin's Dream-

"I wouldn't go there if I were you man. it may be bad for your breathing, if you know what I mean." I said smirking, holding my gun up in front of me. before I knew it, shots were fired straight at Chaz & I was caught pulling the trigger in resistance. I watched as Chaz bled out, pulling him up into the car & one of the boys driving him to the hospital. I still had one more to take out, Jason. Jason McCann. He's good with bombs, good with girls. He dragged my last girlfriend out of my hands. I was so close to proposing. Then I walked back from being out with the boys & found them in my bed. I swore I'd never date again. Who would want this beat old broken up heart? No one, not even Selena. The one girl I cared about. She was everything to me, yet she let it slip. More like I let it slip. He needed to work on our team, he was gonna get his pay. Before I could slip out of my thoughts, I had pulled back. Ready to release the bullet out of those machine into his brain. That's exactly what I did. The moment I did. "JUSTIN!" I heard Selena's sweet voice behind me. I turned around not believing my ears. "The fucker deserved it." I slid the ring out of my pocket in it's box, & popped the top open. "You see this, Gomez? This was gonna go on your finger the day after I found you in bed with him. I had everything planned. you just.. you ruined me. I wanted to be engaged. To you." the look of shock covered those big beautiful chocolate brown eyes. "I miss you, but I don't trust you." I said turning around. Throwing the ring as far as I could. Then slowly walking to my car. I got in, the tears already drowning my face. Even though it felt amazing to throw it back in her face. I still missed her. I jumped out of the car. only to find her still standing there. "Selena.. wait." I quietly stepped in front of her short little figure. Cupping my hand around her neck, slowly leaning in. I kissed her. Like there was no tomorrow.

-

I shot up, sweating. Scared as fuck. Not being able to figure out what I just watched in my dream. I was breathing heavily & the moment I shot up Ariana woke.

"Justin are you okay?!" She yelled, standing up.

"Yeah.. I'm okay.." I did the unexpected. I slid my gun out of my pocket, put the safety on, then set it on the nightstand. I laid back down. Sliding my hands over my face in frustration.
