Identity (Justin Bieber Fanfic)

Chapter Four

(Justin's Point of View)

I can't help but stare at the unconscious girl only feet away from me. Her long brown hair falls messily across her shoulders, a deep gash continuing to produce a steady flow of blood from her head. I feel sick to my stomach.

 With a quick dive, I land dangerously close to her, our heads nearly crashing together. It's going to be hard to help her with bound hands, but I know she'll lose too much blood without something to slow it.   

Turning my back, I struggle to grab hold of the wound, but somehow it ends up working. It still doesn't take long for the hot liquid to fill my palm. I'm forced to press harder.

  I tilt my head in her direction. The girl's eyelids suddenly snap open, revealing the beautiful brown eyes they've kept hidden for the past twenty minutes. It's impossible to look away from them.   

"Hi," I whisper, my eyes fighting back the tears I've kept in way too long. It hits deep to see an innocent girl hurting. I got her into this. 

 She blinks hard, her eyes struggling to adjust to the dim lighting of the van. "They got me."   

The girl bursts into tears before I can get out a single word, her body flailing underneath my hold.   

"They fucking got me! I'm gonna die! Oh God. Oh God-"  

"No, we're gonna get out of this! I promise you that. Those fuckers will pay. You've gotta trust me. Relax."  

This seems to calm her. For now. She relaxes under my hold, the tears flowing faster now. It breaks my heart seeing her cry, and I can't help but finally let out my emotions too.  

"Hey, look at me." I whisper, my jaw tightening. "I got you in this mess, and I'm gonna get you out. I promise."  

The girl nods quickly, sucking in the remaining tears before leaning forward and nuzzling her head into my chest. The wound has finally stopped bleeding, thank God. Her touch catches me off guard, sending a burst of electricity through my body. My muscles finally relax as I draw closer to her.  

"What's your name?" I ask softly.  

"Mia."  

"Justin."  

"I know," she whispers back, a slight laugh following. I can't help but smile.   

"Well since you already know me, I wanna know about you. We might as well distract ourselves. There's no point in trying to break out again. I got close, and look what it caused to happen to you."  

Mia's eyes wander down to her feet, an uncomfortable tension filling the air. I can't imagine how scared she must be. "What do you want to know?"

I smirk. "Favorite singer?"  

This makes her laugh, her body vibrating against mine. "Justin Bieber, of course." She teases.  

I nod in approval, letting out a laugh of my own. "He's alright."  

Her head tilts up to face mine, her eyes studying my features with intense curiosity. "You don't seem scared. How are you so calm?"  

I let out a shaky laugh. "I'm scared as hell. I didn't know I hid it so well."  

Mia nods. "You do. Scared or not, we still need a plan."  

My eyebrows furrow as I examine our surroundings, the wobbly van disappointingly empty. The piece of shit kidnappers drew down a sheet of metal to seperate us after I broke free from the rope tying my hands together. They decided that metal cuffs work much better. Smart guys. We can't see them, they can't see us. I turn back to face her. "You got any ideas?"  

Her head tilts in the direction behind her. "The back doors can't be impossible to kick open. I say we try it. I'd rather risk falling out of the van than going wherever we're going."

I can't help but smile. "That's perfect." We break our hold on each other, wiggling our bodies in position to begin kicking. Turning to face her, our eyes meet only briefly. She signals me to begin.  

Throwing back my legs, my feet smash violently against the metal door, a decent sized dent forming after three or four solid hits. Told you we'd escape, fuckers. We kick harder now, a rush of adreneline taking over our fear and giving us all the strength in the world. 

Sweat is pouring down my temples now, an overwhelming tiredness hitting me with intense force. I can't kick any longer.

"Dammit! Come on!" I hiss, my weak legs hardly doing any damage. Mia slows even more, her wounded head bobbing back violently as she falls on her back once again.   She explodes into a fit of fresh tears. "It's not fucking working!" Her now on her knees again, a sudden anger takes over her. Over and over again she begins punching the thick metal, not seeming to mind the damage it's doing to her bare knuckles.

"Mia, stop! You're hurting yourself!" I yell, kicking harder now. "I'm gonna get us out of here!"

She's screaming on the top of her lungs, the tears flowing faster than ever. The sound bounces off the walls of the van, my head feeling on the verge of exploding.   Struggling to break free from the cuffs, I throw myself practically everywhere in an attempt to tear them off, but all it does is rip up my wrists more

"Shit, shit, shit!" I hiss through clenched teeth, tears beginning to burn at my eyes. The pain is unbearable now. I know they're going to kill us any minute now. Her screaming has definitely caught the attention of somebody.

"Let us out of here! Somebody save us!" Mia screams, her weak legs barely even making an effort to kick hard anymore.

The van pulls to a sudden stop, throwing both of us against the metal sheet with brutal speed. I can feel the bruises form instantly. Mia's cries are blood chilling as she lays sprawled out near my feet, her shaky hands grabbing at the back of her head. When she pulls them away, they're covered in her blood all over again. The blow to her head reopened the wound.

"Mia!" I yell out, my voice giving out. My throat feels as if it's literally closing.    Our worst nightmare is coming true. The van doors are suddenly torn open, a blinding white light shining down on us. The driver, Alex, stands before us. It doesn't take long to realize what's in his hands.

"Sleep tight."

I don't even have time to fight back before his hands clamp down on Mia and I's faces. The chloroform soaked rags work wonders for them. I'm left in a world of blackness almost instantly.
