Dangerous

Chapter 22

Serena's POV

Silence filled the car as we raced back home. We knew that in a few hours after those magazines were to be published they'd come for us and we'd be put away.

"Serena say something," Jacob urged worriedly.

"Sometimes silence is better," I said calmly.

"We'll be okay right?" he asked and shrugging my shoulders, "I don't know," I replied and its funny because recently I don't know has become my answer to everything.

Demi's POV

This was the moment I've been preparing myself for, the moment that I face Serena and openly tell her how I feel about her, about this situation, about everything.

I was told to never give up on anybody because miracles miracles happen every day.

Driving to Serena's I started to get extremely nervous and think of the worst case scenarios. That I walk in on her and Brittany or worse that she rejects me and I leave both broken hearted and feeling stupid. Focus I thought to myself.

As I pulled up to her house I saw her sitting on the verandah, hot chocolate I'm guessing in hand as it is her favourite. Approaching her she looked up and a smile appeared on her face, I was awestruck at her mere beauty even in a hoodie and track pants she was the most beautiful women on this earth.

"Hi," I smiled.

"Hi," she responded.

"Do you mind if I sit?" I asked and nodding she shuffled over and I sat down next to her.

"You know what you remind me of?" I asked her, "What?"

"The moon because one part of you is alight while the other part is hidden in the dark,"

"Why would you say that?" She asked.

"Serena hiding your pain and secrets only intensifies it and problems grow in the dark and become bigger and bigger but when exposed to the light of truth they shrink,"

"Demi we all have something to hide, there is some dark place inside of us that we don't want the world to see,"

"I just want you to be honest with me Serena,"

"I can't be anymore honest with you,"

"But you're not being honest," I argued.

"Listen Demetria there are some things better left unsaid and this is most definitely one of them,".

"Why are they better left unsaid?," I questioned.

"Demi how strongly do you feel about me?" She asked me and in a soft voice I replied, "Very strongly,"

"Then trust me when I say it's better left unsaid,"

"But why?" I pressed on arguing.

"If you actually have incredibly strong feelings for me then this will destroy you, me, us and everything so it's better buried inside of me to destroy myself,"

"Serena please tell me," I begged but I knew no matter how persistent and irritating I was she wouldn't say a word on it.

"So how's Brittany?" I asked.

"What do you mean?" She questioned.

"I saw you guys kiss,"

Serena looked down at her mug of hot chocolate, "Were not together," she finally said.

"Then why did you kiss?" I asked.

Serena's POV

This was my only chance to tell her, to be open to her cause any minute now I'm going to be gone for however long and I at least want to know that I told her, no matter how confused I'm feeling I know how certain I am about this. It took me a while to process and admit but know that I did, I realised its the best thing that could ever happen to me.

"It doesn't matter Demi," I said.

"It does too me," she spoke with a sadness in her voice.

"It shouldn't because you know what set all our problems aside, I love you," I started and Demi looked up straight away,wide eyed and looking quite shocked by my revelation.

"I love you so much and even though it confuses the shit out of me I love you. I know I'm not one for relationships and feelings but everyday you still manage to have yourself all over my mind and constantly driving me crazy and that's because I love you," I said smiling.

A tear escaped Demi's eye as she giggled whilst wiping it away, "I love you too Serena, I love you so much,"

Then as if on cue the police arrived, guns in hand, "Don't move your under arrest for the possession of drugs and selling them," one officer spoke as he grabbed me and cuffed my hand behind my back.

"Serena!" Demi yelled and as I looked at her, her face was extremely pale and I could tell how scared she was.

Fighting the police officer I finally got out of his grip and ran straight to Demi. I smiled at her as she was in tears, closing the gap between us I covered her lips with mine. The warmth of her breath spread through as we touched her lips were velvet smooth and incredibly soft.

I wanted to absorb every moment of her tasteful exotic lips. Parting her mouth our tongues explored each other with such passion and love I felt like gravity beneath us had slipped away.

All I wanted was to be with her and hold her and kiss and call her 'mine', I wanted her to consume all of me, everyday and I wish I would've told her earlier but I didn't and I'm going to have to live with that for the rest of my life.

"C'mon you're going know!" The police officer yelled.

I looked at Demi one last time," I'll always love you Demi but I need you to move on,"

Demi shook her head profusely as she ran after me but Josh stopped her, holding her tightly as Demi kicked and screamed.

"I love you," I mouthed as I sat in the car with Jacob next to me.
