Chapter 4

Melissa's POV:

"Justin," I breathe out.

"There's no way in hell in I'm bringing you with me. This is too damn dangerous Melissa."

"But, what if someone comes for me?"

"Nothing's gonna happen baby girl," he assures.

I groan.

"Whenever you say that, something always happens."

"Baby," he breathes out, reaching for me.

He takes my hand and pulls me closer.

"You'll be fine. Me, Chris and Za are the only ones going. The rest of my gang will be watching and protecting you, Val and Bella."

"Justin, I'm scared," I whimper.

I look down.

He grabs my chin and lifts it up, allowing our eyes to meet.

"Keep your head up princess. Your tiara's falling."

I manage to crack a small smile until my frown returns.

"You'll be fine baby girl," he assures.

"But-"

He silences me by pecking my lips.

"I can't bring you along because then we'd have to bring Bella along. It'd make it more difficult than it has to be. I'll be back before you know it princess."

"Justin, as time goes on, this gang stuff is getting harder to deal with. Something's gonna happen to me," I stress.

He cups my face in his hands and pecks my nose before intertwining our fingers.

He guides me to the dresser and opens a drawer.

He lets go of my hand and grabs a handgun out of the drawer, making my jaw drop.

Justin notices my expression and chuckles a little.

"Its not the first time you've seen a gun baby girl."

He hands it to me, but I don't take it.

"You can't be serious."

He grins.

"Oh, I'm serious," he replies.

He grabs my hand and places the gun in it, positioning it right.

"This is how you hold it," he says.

I notice that the gun is pointed towards him, and I start freaking out.

"Justin, take it back! I might hurt you ! I don't know what the hell I'm doing!"

He chuckles once more and gets behind me, snaking his arms around my waist.

"Relax baby. Its not loaded."

I breathe out a sigh of relief before he places a sweet kiss on the back of my neck.

One of his hands trails down my arm and to my hand with the handgun, making sure I'm holding it right again. His opposite hand grabs my other hand places it on the gun.

"Two hands baby girl. The force from the shot might be too strong for you."

He puts his hands over mine and points it straight.

"Accuracy is important princess. You gotta stay concentrated and act fast. Your target can move in any direction at any time. When you use this gun, I gotta admit, it's nerve wracking."

"How?," I ask.

"Because you don't know whether you're gonna miss or not. If you miss, it fucks everything up. It gives your target a chance to kill you."

I feel my stomach turn.

"K-Kill you?," I choke out.

I feel him kiss my cheek.

"Not kill. I meant, affect you baby. Don't worry. But, that's not gonna happen to you. You know why?"

I stay silent, awaiting for his further explanation.

"Because you're my girl. You're tough Melissa. You just don't know it."

I nod in understandment.

"Nobody messes with my girl," he adds.

He puts my finger on the trigger and pulls it.

Of course, nothing happens since its not loaded.

"That's how you work a gun," he finishes.

"I think I got it," I tell him, slightly unsure.

"I'll call you every morning, every night. We leave at dawn."

"Connor's not going?," I ask.

"Who?," he asks, his eyebrow raised.

I raise my eyebrow back in confusion.

"Oh yeah, him. I forgot who he was because he's that irrelevant."

"Justin, you gotta forgive-"

"Fuck him," he spats.

"You need him in the gang," I point out.

"I wish that wasn't true. Unfortunately, he's coming with us. He's dropping Val here before we leave."

I nod.

He leans down and kisses my lips once more.

"Let's get some sleep."
