Save Me // Justin Bieber (Jariana)

Twenty.

Aubrey

A sudden shock ran through my body as my eyes popped open, but I continued to lay there. My body felt weak, it felt still. Like if I tried to move, it wouldn't. My brain wouldn't relate the message.

My eyes scanned what was in front of me. A white wall with a strange painting hung up. A bedside table that consisted of a lamp and a few papers.

I pushed myself so I was laying on my back and now facing the ceiling. I was able to look around the strange room and realized this wasn't Justin's house.

I slowly sat up, removing the covers from my body. I was only in my shirt and my overalls were on the floor. I brought my knees up to my chest and saw my arm. It was wrapped up in a gauze and I felt like it all came back to me.

The men, the dingy room, the ropes, Alex, the blade that went into my skin, and Justin.

Justin.

My mind wandered to moments before I went unconscious. Him taking me out of the passenger seat and the back of the car to stitch up my wound. I couldn't feel a thing because I felt so weak. Then... His lips found mine.

I touched them, remembering how they felt against mine. Barely coherent but I remembered that feeling. Something I haven't felt since Mason. I felt my heart speeding in my chest just thinking about it.

It was so innocent, so gentle.

Suddenly, the door on the left side of the room opened. Justin walked out and his hair was wet. He wore a dark grey t-shirt with black jeans and converse. He noticed I was up once we made eye contact.

"Oh... Aubrey, you're up." he said. I just nodded slowly and realized I had no pants on. That brought up another thing... how did I get my overalls off if I was unconscious?

I made eye contact with him again as he noticed my questioning eyes.

"I slept on the couch. I-um, didn't want you to be uncomfortable." he plainly said, going over to the side of the room and picking up the suitcase that I had brought with me in the beginning to stay with Justin.

He put it on the bed.

"We can't go back to my place. They know your with me and I'm not taking any chances. We're gonna go from motel to motel, keep it low profile until we get to where we need to." he said.

I felt like this wasn't real. I had always wanted to keep away from this part of Mason's life but I had no choice. When I chose him, I chose this part of his life too. I hadn't really realized that till now and I really had no choice to begin with.

"Okay... Where is it that we need to get to?" I simply asked.

He sat beside me, but not too close.

"I'll tell you when we get closer. But now, we gotta move. All your clothes and essentials are in here. I'm not sure if I left anything valuable. I grabbed all I could." He said.

My hand quickly reached up to my chest to make sure I had my necklace. I felt myself deflating with relief when I felt it and played with it.

"You got everything." I said.

He nodded. He moved closer, his hand on my knee making me look up into his eyes.

"I know this a lot... I know this is scary and crazy. But it's very real, this is actually happening and I just want you to know I'm not going to let anything happen to you. I'm going to keep you safe." he said, his eyes never breaking eye contact with mine.
