Hold Tight (A Justin Bieber Love Story) ((BEING EDITED))

Chapter 48

I slowly got up, being careful not to lose my footing so close to the ledge. I looked Chris in the eye and showed no fear, not to him, not anymore.

"You can still get out of this kid....Just leave with me, we can live like we used to, as a happy family," he says lowering the gun a little. I shake my head, was he on drugs?

"A happy family? You abused me, night after night. Over and over again until it landed me in the hospital, then you ran like the coward you are.... I would never go back with you, no after the hell you put me through. I moved on with my life, i found happiness with people who treat me right and don't hurt me like you do, you're a monster," i snap at him as tears flood my eyes once again. Chris only smiles and points the gun back at me with a determined look on his face.

"You don't want to make this mistake Jessica, not at the cost of losing your boyfriend. Or friends," he says making me look over at Justin who was laying in a hhuge puddle of his own blood. I look back at Chris.

"Why are you doing this?" i asked between sobs.

"You are going to make the choice your father did. I gave him the option, your mother or him, he choose his fate.... Which one will you choose Jessica? Your friends, or yourself?" he says in a sick tone. I look back at Justin, then at Zack and Layla who were still hiding behind the trees. I can't let anything more happen to them.

"Me!" I whisper looking away from Justin who i knew heard because he looked at me with weak eyes. "Hurt me, not them," i say in a weak voice. No way was i letting my friends take this, not my battle, not like this.  Chris smiles and goes to pull the trigger.

"Chris stop!" Kyle shouts from the roof door way. Chris turns around but keeps the gun aimed at me.

"Leave boy," Chris says. I look at Kyle, what was he doing? I thought he was against us?

"This wasn't part of the plan. You told us no one would get hurt. You said all you wanted was to see Jessica one more time before turning yourself in," Kyle says in a panic. He must know Chris hurt me, but he thought no one would get hurt. Is he crazy to, if he knew Chris hurt me why would he think he wouldn't do it again.

"Kyle if you don't walk away i will personally shot you," Chris warns but Kyle doesn't move an inch.

"Let her go, let her get help for Justin," Kyle begs as he see's Justin's condition.

"One," Chris says and faster than we all saw coming Kyle was on the ground with a gun shot hole to the stomach. I hold back a scream as he struggles to breath.

"See what you made me do? I liked you too, you were going places kid," Chris says as he focuses back on me.

"You're a monster!" I shout at him as he walks closer. I step back forgetting that there was a ledge and i slip. I scream as i fall backwards but i grab the edge at the last second. I am left hanging on for dear life on a four story high building. Zack and Layla heard me scream and are below me freaking out along with Andrew and his friends. Which was strange because an hour ago they were the ones causing the problems for us. I guess Kyle got through to them as well.

"Look's like you got yourself in a pickle my sweet child," Chris says bending down smirking at me. I am not strong enough to hold on for long, i knew this was going to be the end.

"Help me," i beg him. He smiles and slowly picks up one finger at a time making me lose my grip more.

"The drop will only hurt a lot," he says as i let go of the ledge with one hand still holding me up. Chris goes to step on my hand but is tackled to the ground. I hear the gun go off and people groaning as they fight. Who was it? No one else is up here, i can see everyone below me.

"Jessica," Justin says looking over the ledge and grabbing my hand just as i slip. I scream but his hand grips my arm preventing me from falling. But he is weak from blood loss and i know he won't be able to get me up. 

"Don't let me fall," I say as tears stream down my face. He suddenly is jerked away but he pulls me up a little and i grab the ledge as he lets go of my hand.

"You just don't give up do you!" Chris shouts as i hear him land a punch to Justin. A few more hits go on and i see Justin holding Chris above the ledge by the shirt. Chris has a look of fear on his face.

"I warned you about laying your hands on her again!" Justin says moving closer to the ledge. Chris smirks and pushes Justin back letting himself fall to his death. I close my eyes when i hear his body hit the ground. In my freaking out i didn't notice my hand slipping. I scream again as fall, this time farther then before. But Justin saved me again, he was hanging onto the ledge hanging as well, his free hand just got me in time. He pulls me closer to him and i wrap my arms around his neck as i cling to his back.

"Hold tight babe," He says as he uses his last strength to pull us over the ledge. We roll on the ground until we are a safe distance from the edge and Justin grabs my face and his lips crash to mine and won't let me go. I smile in the kiss and hug him making him groan. I quickly pull away remembering he was shot and needed help. I hear the door open and everyone comes rushing up. 

"Dude!" Zack says recovered a little as he limps over and kneels with us. Layla was on the phone with 911. Andrew and his boys were by Kyle's side. I look over at them and Andrew looks at me.

"Honestly we didn't know.... Chris told us you were his daughter and he needed you back....We had no--" I cut him off with a smile.

"It's alright....It's over now," i say focusing back on Justin who was starting to go in and out of consciousness. I shake him a little.

"Justin....Justin you have to stay awake until the Medics get here," i say with tears starting to stream down my face. I watch as he slowly closes his eyes but his grip on my hand stays tight letting me know he can hear us still.

"Zack do something!" I shout letting my emotions get the better of me. Zack tries stopping the bleeding but with no luck. 

"I can't...I don't know what to do," he says freaking out. I can't lose Justin, not to Chris.

"You can't leave me....You promised," I whisper as i lay my head on his chest and cry.
