Chapter 21 - "Go On, Just End It!!"

Here's and update bc ik people might really want to know what happens next.

Derek pressed the gun to my forehead and I closed my eyes and said "tell Demi I'm sorry she won't get the chance to adopt me and be my mom, tell her I love her, she's a great mother figure and guardian, and she would of been a great mom." The gun disappeared from my head and he said "you really love her that much, you really love her like she's your own flesh and blood," I replied "yea I do," he put the gun back on my head and said "well too bad because you'll never see her again." 

His finger pulled the trigger back slightly and I closed my eyes and said "go on, just end it!," he was about to shoot me, but his hand started shaking and then he threw the gun at the wall and said "I can't kill you in cold blood, cousin, I just can't, it's not fair to you or to Demi!" I stood up and said "you aren't really my cousin are you, you don't resemble Natalia at all," he shook his head and said "no I'm not her flesh and blood brother but I'm close friends with her, we call each other family." I nodded and stood face to face with him "how many years older than her are you?," He replied "one an a half," I said "so your sixteen and a assen, you got your whole life worked out." I then said "why are you still here?," he tilted his head to the side and said "what do you mean, why am I still here," I punched his shoulder playfully and said "are you waiting for a fight because I'd love to hit you right now." 

He looked in my eyes and said "I'm actually trying to figure out what direction I threw my gun in," I rolled my eyes and walked around the bed and picked up his gun, I then walked back over to him. I put out the gun like I was going to hand it to him, he went to grab it as I pulled it away and said "wait, how do I know that if I give you this you won't kill me," he replied "because I promise I won't yet." 

He winked and said "well Emily I'd love to stay and chat in this odd friendly ish relationship we got going on but I got to go," I handed him his gun and suddenly Natalia's Dad walked into the room gun pointed at Derek. He said "you were ordered to kill her before Demi Lovato got back, when you didn't show up we feared the worst, what's happening here," he put his hands up and said "she kicked my gun away, we talked, I found my gun and I don't know."

Derek cocked the gun again and said "okay, your the boss," he gave me a sympathetic look  but there was something else that flashed in his eyes I couldn't quite read it though, he pointed the gun at my head and said "last words?" I replied "why didn't you kill me the other 2 times, the truth please?," Derek sighed and said "because your really beautiful, smart, witty, sarcastic, pretty, I could go on and on but thats why." I smiled before my expression grew blank and I questioned "you like me don't you," he replied "yea I um don't just like you I like like you, but--," a knife sinking into the far right side of my lower torso cut him off. 

I collapsed and Derek caught me Natalia's dad said "stay here and make sure she doesn't live or I'll end you," Derek said "I don't think it hit anything important. You won't die but I need you to lay in the bathtub while I wrap your wound," I said "why are you doing this, helping me?," he said "because," before he pressed his lips to mine, I closed my eyes as he gave me a small kiss on the lips. He pulled back after a few seconds and said "I'm going to pull the small throwing knife out now, ready," I nodded as he pulled out the knife, he dropped it on the floor and carried me into the bathroom where he put me down gently in the bathtub.

he grabbed the goz off the counter and said "I've got a needle and thread, do you want me to stitch it closed," I shook my head and said "go boil some water please, I can't go to the hospital yet." He cauterized my wound as I threw my head back and cried out in agony as he did so, when he finished he leaned down till our noses touched and he said "can I stitch it now?" I replied "you dork, and yea now you can," I said "if I pass out from the pain and blood loss call 9-1-1," he nodded and said "I will."

Derek was almost done stitching my wound I barely moved and kept my eyes closed the only thing telling him I was still alive was my cries of pain, He finally said "you are fixed my lady, I'll wrap you up know." he wrapped gauze around my wound and carried me back to the bed, I heard him cleaning out the bathtub before he walked over and laid down next to me and said "I have to ask you something?" I turned to him and he said "so you didn't protest after I kissed you but you didn't say anything, so I don't know if your okay with me asking but I will anyway," he took a deep breath and said "so um... will you..uh... would you like to go out with me?" 

I put my hand on his shoulder and pressed my lips on his I closed my eyes giving him a short, small kiss, I pulled away after a few seconds, and said "is that the answer you were looking for?" He smirked and replied "I'll protect you from my employer I'll tell him I killed you, to keep us a secret, okay," I nodded and replied "okay, until next time then," he then got up and left the hotel room."

I laid on the bed Drained of energy and remembered the knife I got up and picked it up and went to the sink where I washed it before I slipped it in my backpack where I would keep it for a later time. I let my thoughts drift before I remembered Demi's coming home soon, what on earth am I going to tell her about what happened. Me saying 'Hey Demi Derek is now my boyfriend, he's saved my life 3 times now and he's going to protect me from my uncle,' probably won't end with a hug, I fell asleep blood loss and the pain making me too tired to stay awake.
