SHAMELESS ✔(Damian Wayne Fanfic)

SHAMELESS

Valarie's POV

"Breath...breath." I whisper to myself.

I hid under the stairs and held my onto my arms. I don't even know if the cops got my message..did they even hear me?

"Where is she?" I hear one of the men shout angrily.

"She's hit so she didn't go that far." Shouted the other

My eyes began to shut and I squeezed them tightly.The palm of my hand began to burn due to my nails digging into them. I felt something warm drip from my shoulder as the pain in my shoulder began to travel through my arm.

He did get me. And I wanted to scream at how much it hurt. Placing my hand directly on it I let out a tiny yelp and bit my lip as soon as it left my mouth.

"You heard that?" He asks.

"Yeah, it's coming from over there."

God please...please...

My head rested against the wall and my heart beat faster once there footsteps got closer to the door.

"Check that closet over there." Says one of them.

My shoulder stings as blood continues to spill from it. My hand wasn't enough so I took off my shirt slowly and tied it around my shoulder. I wince again at the pain and suck my teeth as I take in a sharp breath.

Is anyone going to save me? Will I die tonight in my basement?

My tears had already wet my face and I was sure I was gonna go with tears and blood on my basement floor. Then, I heard crashing coming from upstairs.

"What the heck?" said one of them.

Their were more voices and then gun shots. Sirens filled my ears and so did more yelling.

"Tie em up." Said a familiar voice.

It sounded like a mob entered into my house as footsteps echoed. was it more people? Didi the cops finally get here? As much as I wanted to get up and look I couldn't. My body was telling me to just stay put and let them find you.

Where is Damian. I told him where I was...why isn't he here yet...

The door to the basement swung open and Flashlights flooded it.

"Miss.Ellington."

That sounded like a safe voice.

"Here." I whimper.

The cop shined the flashlight on me and I sniffed. I heard another voice saying, "Let me pass." And I knew it was Damian.

"Let him through." I say a bit loudly so they could hear as the cop draped his jacket over my shoulder.

_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+

I didn't feel like talking to anyone. One of the police officers found Casper.

He was dead.

The police officers in my house and news reporters surrounding my house made me uncomfortable. A paramedic suggested taking me to a hospital but I refused. I've had enough hospitals visits since my parents died.

"Can you tell them to come by tomorrow." I say to Damian sitting on the couch as the paramedic began to pull the bullet from my shoulder. "I don't think I can give a statement tonight."

Damian nodded his head and ushered everyone out.

It was just me, Damian and the paramedic.

I wince as he tries to take the bullet from my shoulder.

"Miss, I can't do my job if you keep moving." He says

Damian POV

"Look at me." I say and her head turns as our eyes meet. "Don't get emotional about it. Take a deep breath and let it out slowly."

Valarie takes in a breath and lets it out. My hand reaches up and wipes away the tear that was sliding down her cheek.

"Did you know I had Casper since I was five." She asks as another tears falls. "My father got caught up at work and missed my recital." Valarie swallows and a small smile appears on her face. "He came home the next day with a kitten and said the people at the shop called him Casper because he'd always be around. Even if my father couldn't all the time Casper would be around for me." Licking her lip she sniffs and says, "He was the last thing that connected me to my family. And now he's gone."

Just when I thought I knew her, just when I thought I figured it all out, she has more layers underneath. Why'd she have to be so complicated...

"I...I..."

"Mr. Wayne are you speechless." She sniffs with a tiny laugh.

"Inarticulate." I say grinning knowing it meant the same thing.

"I'll figure you out soon. You're more than that jerk I met at my party."
