If I Die... (Final Ending to Deadly in Love)

Chapter 11

Chapter song: Beautiful by Carly Rae Jepsen feat. Justin Bieber
(Justin's pov)
Once I calmed down, I stepped outside to see Christie rocking Drew slightly in her arms. She seemed distressed with worry written all over her face.
"Hey"
I gently placed my hand on her cheek.
"Hey"
She mumbled gloomily.
"Are you ok?"
My thumb traced over her jawline.
"Yea"
She nodded, her lip tucked under her teeth.
"What's wrong?"
I know that whenever she bites her lip, she's thinking about something.
"N-nothing"
I saw her eyes water and her lip quiver.
"Christie, I know something's wrong"
I stepped closer and took Drew in my arms.
"I don't wanna sleep in there tonight"
She spoke fearfully. I realized that she was scared. That's normal. I wouldn't let either one of them sleep in the apartment right now.
"And you won't. You can sleep somewhere else"
I admired Drew as I held him.
"Please don't let anyone hurt him"
Tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Christie, you guys are gonna be ok. Don't worry yourself"
I dried her eyes and cheeks.
"You always say that"
She sniffled.
"I know...I just don't want you to be scared, because there's nothing to be afraid of. As long as I'm here, you're safe"
I kissed her temple then motioned everyone to step out of our apartment.
"Is it ok if we crash at one of your places?"
I asked them.
"Yea, you guys can sleep in ours"
Brie was the first to answer.
"Thanks"
I gave her and Za an appreciated nod then turned my attention back to Christie.
"You wanna go ahead and go with Brie?"
I handed her the baby.
"Ok"
She nodded and caught up with the girls. I walked back in the apartment to have a private meeting about how we're gonna handle this.
"I can't wait any longer. Can we just face them and get it over with?"
I put a black shirt on.
"With 4 of us? We don't stand a chance against 6 guys"
Khalil reasoned.
"He won't stop until he gets revenge"
I muttered irritably.
"Why does he want revenge?"
Ryan asked.
"He spent most of his life in prison, and he thinks it's my parents' fault"
I stated miserably.
"Then, why is he taking it out on you?"
Za joined in.
"Jealousy, I guess"
I shrugged.
"Well, I think we shouldn't mess with them. We wouldn't stand a chance"
Khalil suggested.
"So we just stand by and let them kill us? I don't know about you, but I'm not gonna let my wife and baby die like that"
I spoke sharply.
"No...Ugh, I don't know. What do you suggest we do then, Bieber?"
Khalil asked in frustration.
"...I don't know. I've got too much on my shoulders right now"
I sighed. My head is already hurting, and it hasn't even been a full day yet.
"Ok, let's all just relax. We're gonna find a way out of this. In the meantime, let's avoid going outside and keep all our windows and doors locked tight"
Ryan interpreted.
"That's a good idea"
Za agreed.
"Then that's what we'll do"
Khalil nodded and stood. I stood as well. We walked out and I made sure everything was locked. Za and I entered his apartment, and I saw Christie talking with Brie. I motioned her to come here, and she handed told Brie something before walking over to me. I moved her away, so nobody could hear.
"I want you to eat something, Christie. You haven't eaten in 2 days. Just a little something, please"
I spoke seriously. I hate to have to ask her this.
"...Ok"
She nodded and sat back down with Brie.
"You ok, bro?"
Za asked when I entered the kitchen.
"Yea"
I nodded.
"You shouldn't feel like all the pressure's on you, you know?"
He stood beside me.
"How can I not? I've got Christie and Drew depending on me to not fuck up"
I muttered doubtfully.
"Yea, but...Ok, let's say, you do fuck up. Do you really think Christie will hate you? Justin, you've fucked up a lot, and Christie's still here"
Za had a good point.
"...What if one of them ends up dead?"
I muttered out loud.
"Don't think about that"
Za lowered his voice. I nodded and stared at the floor.
"Anyways, I'm ordering pizza if you want some. Brie and I will be in the other room"
Za took Brie with him to his bedroom. Once everything was silent, I sat next to Christie.
"Hey, I love you"
I kissed her cheek.
"I love you too"
She smiled.
"Mm-I don't want you to be scared, babygirl"
I planted small kisses on her jawline. She closed her eyes and tilted her head to the side. I kissed her neck tenderly and grabbed her waist.
"Do you trust me?"
I held her hand.
"Of course I do"
She spoke like it was obvious.
"You should start acting like it, babygirl"
I chuckled and kissed her jawline.
"I am"
She snapped her head back down to face me.
"Good"
I stroked her cheek. There was a knock at the door, and I stood up to get it. It was just the pizza guy.
"Thanks"
I took the pizza and paid him.
"Oh, you paid? I'll pay you back if you want"
Za walked into the room with Brie.
"Nah, it's fine"
I took a slice of pizza.
"Christie, aren't you gonna eat?"
Brie asked Christie.
"No, thank you. I'm not hungry"
Christie replied shyly. I mentally sighed in my head.
"Oh, ok"
Brie stood next to Za, and he gave her a plate. Unlike Christie, Brie actually eats. I sighed and went over to Christie.
"Don't try to convince me out of this, Justin"
She muttered for only me to hear.
"I won't. I'm just gonna sit with you"
I sighed again and sat beside her.
"...Sorry"
She mumbled guiltily.
"It's fine"
I ate the pizza.
"Are you mad at me?"
Christie narrowed her eyes.
"No, I'm not mad at you, baby. I just....want you to be ok"
I stopped eating for a moment.
"I'll be fine. I'm not stupid"
She played with her hands.
"I never said you were"
I threw my trash away.
"I'll eat something small, then I'm going to bed"
She stood and walked to the kitchen.
"You guys can sleep on the couch is that cool?"
Za offered.
"Yea, thanks, bro"
Good thing I brought Drew's crib. Speaking of Drew, I need to feed him. I took a banana from the kitchen and mashed it. Christie had eaten 2 crackers. It really pisses me off, and I really want her to stop this nonsense. Anyways, I fed Drew the banana then gave him his bottle. After Drew finished, I borrowed Za's bathroom to bathe Drew.
"I'm tired, Justin"
Christie yawned when I finished bathing Drew.
"Go get ready for bed, baby"
I spoke quietly then started rocking Drew in my arms. Once he was asleep, I laid him gently in his crib.
"I love you"
I pecked his cheek before getting ready for bed myself. When I finished getting ready, I turned off the lights and joined Christie in bed.
"Are you still scared?"
I wrapped my arms around her.
"A little"
She whispered.
"How bout now?"
I moved as close as I could and spooned her.
"No"
She giggled in a whisper.
"I love you"
I smiled.
"I love you too"
She pecked my arm then shut her eyes.
