Goal Changer

Chapter 31 - Hero

Donna approached the warehouse cautiously, she didn't know what to expect but was careful so Derek wouldn't spot her.

Suddenly there was a loud noise as glass smashed and fell in front of the brunette followed by Justin and Taylor huddled together.

The couple smashed into the bushes beneath the window as Justin landed on his back holding Taylor on top of him.

"Taylor" screamed Donna as she ran  towards the bushes.

The blonde lay still on top of the pop star for a moment as Donna pulled back the leaves grabbing hold of her daughter.

Taylor sat up as her mother helped her stand up before helping Justin.

"Are you both ok?" Asked Donna

Justin shook his head "I'm fine, are you ok?" He asked looking to the blonde

"Yea I'm fine" replied Taylor.

Donna grabbed the blonde and pulled her into a hug. "I thought I was never going to see you again" she cried.

"I knew you would find me, your my mum" smiled Taylor

The brunette pulled back to look at her child, noticing the marks on her face she ran her fingers over her cheeks.

"I'm ok mum, I promise" whispered Taylor

Instantly Donna realised Cristiano was still inside as she turned to Justin.

"What about Cris?" She asked

"He's still inside, he was outside the room we jumped from.....I'm going back for him" replied Justin

"No....you stay with Taylor, I'll go"

The pop star shook his head frantically "I can't let you do that, Cris would never forgive me"

"Please Justin, I need you to keep my daughter safe I can't lose her if Derek comes after her" begged the brunette

"Ok but please be careful and if your not out in five minutes im coming in" stated Justin

Donna nodded her head and rubbed her daughters arm before turning to the warehouse.

Justin put his arm around Taylor as he led her to the car hidden in the trees.

....................

Cristiano grunted as he lay on the floor surrounded by two of the men, he had been held down and beaten, he had fought back but the men showed no sign of stopping .

"Where has your little friend taken her?" Asked the man

Cris didn't reply, making the man kick him in the stomach once more.

By now his face was bloody and he was in pain as the men kept up the fight.  He was just glad Taylor had gotten out safe, Donna had her daughter back and that's all that mattered he thought to himself.

.......................

Donna looked for a way into the warehouse as she creeped around the building.

Noticing something between the dirt and grass she used her foot to push away the dirt.

It was a rusty metal loop, kneeling down she pulled on it as the grass began to give way to a small wooden door leading to a basement.

Donna climbed inside, it was eerily dark and she couldn't see around her. Pulling out her phone she switched on the torch as she made her way forward.

Finding the stairs leading onto the ground floor of the warehouse, the brunette tip toed up being careful not to make any noise. She could hear voices coming from behind the door and she knew one of them was Derek's.
