 Demi's POV

I was so scared something was going to happen. They brought me to a house and even though everything was explained to me in depth I still was terrfied. I didn't trust them. As I sat on the couch and waited I finally fell asleep I was really just so worn out from tonight...maybe it was all a dream.  I don't know how much time passed but I felt someone pick me up and thought nothing of it. But everything  feared slowly went away. I felt safe and thought everything would be ok now I don't knowhow,,,but all that changed when I woke up to yelling. I began to sit up and look around my surroundings I was in a car again and I thought they were taking me somewhere else now. 

 "What the fuck is going on?!" I snapped because this wasn't ok an they told me..."Kristal?!" My eyes widened..I looked out the back of the car seeing the house was now in the distance 

"We came to get you...you're ok now.."

We? I leaned over from the middle to see the one and only Justin there "Are you guys fucking shitting me right now? What the fuck just happened?"

Justin glanced at me from the rear view mirror biting his lip "Demi I.." he began to speak and Kristal cut him off "Now is not really the time he's going to come after us we can talk about this later please...turn here.." She motioned and he sighed before getting onto the on ramp of the main highway,

"Now isn't the time? Are you kidding me right now...you're acting like this isn't a big deal. You fucking left me Kristal I didn't know what to do and you told me nothing was going to happen tonight.."

"I'm sorry ok Demi? I didn't know any of this was going to happen...I didn't think they'd do anything to you but everything is fixed now you're ok..." She sighed sitting back into the seat "I shouldn't have brought you with me I just thought...

"Is everything fixed? Because why are we running from Mason...what did you do..how did you get the money? And..' I looked back at Justin..why was he even here. 

"Demi please can we talk about this later?? I promise we'll talk about anything you want.." At that moment her phone began to ring and she picked it up
  

"Um hey babe...oh yeah we're having a great time right now. I know..I know we're late i'm sorry I lost track of time...'


My eyes widened as the conversation went on...she was lying to him about this 

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to worry you...i'm just dropping Demi off i'll be home soon..yeah..yeah I love you too..bye" She hung up and let out a deep breathe "that was close she muttered..

"What was that?" I glared at her forgetting about Justin at the moment.

"What was what..?" she asked innocently

"That...why did you just lie to him...are you not going to tell him what just happened??"

"Demi..he doesn't need to know...he can't know about any of this..."

Justin looked uncomfartable at the moment he cleared his throat and decided to pitch in "Kristal...he's going to find out at some point..."

"Shut up no hes not...we just need to act like any of this didn't happen" Kristal snapped at him

"Oh no , no , please tell me what involvement you have in this because i'm  pretty sure there is something going on between you two because why else would you go to  talk to Kristal and Wilmer last night and fucking leave me at the hospital like that?" I diverted my attention back to Justin now because I was getting no where with Kristal. 

At this point he was clenching the wheel and Kristal was now glaring at him. "Get off this exit..." she muttered 

"Are you going to answer me? " I sighed before sitting back. This really was to much but I deserve answers right? Am I being to demanding? I mean I guess I was ok now but i'm just so confused. We had finally gotten back into a familiar part of town before I realized my car was still at the club but I really didn't want to drive home alone..or even be home alone for that instance but where else could I go? There was no way I was going to stay with Kristal and Wilmer and Justin..he was out of the question.

"Justin can't take me home..." Kristal looked at me from the rearview mirror "But I need your car to get home.."

"What are you implying..?" I narrowed my eyes at her - it was weird how she seemed to always answer my thoughts "Why can't Justin take you home.."

"It's just complicated...it's just for tonight...they won't expect to find you at Justin's..."


"I..no.." I could tell Justin wasn't in on this part of the plan beause shortly he spoke up afterwards "Are you sure that's a good idea..?"

"What elseare we going to do?? She can't be alone and if he see's you then.."

"Um..does anyone even care to ask howI  feel about this?" I crossed my arms

"You can't be alone right now and i'm assuming you don't want to come home with me right.."

Even though this is what I was just thinking I was unsure but..I know she did have a point I guess. And maybe without her around I could finally get some answers. Finally Justin pulled up in front of the club next to where my car was parked "Are you sure about this?"

"I'll be fine...my home is only ten minutes away from here..he wouldn't of followed us here..just keep..keep her safe ok?" Kristal leaned over for a moment but stopped herself "I'm sorry I..i'm going now.."she quickly got out of the car and within a few moments she was gone. I stared at Justin blankly and he looked back at me awkwardly. "I um...do you want to move up here?"

"Are you going to tell me what just happened..?"

"It's complicated..." He sighed before starting the car again "How about this..tomorrow morning you can ask me anything,,it'll be better for the both of us. We both need sleep.."

  I know he had a point I didn't realize how wary I still felt and it would give me time to collect my thoughts "I guess that's fair enough..." 

 Around fifteen minutes later we got to his house. He had gotten a text from Kristal that said she made it home ok to which he let me know about. Once we got out he led me up the stairs into his apartment on the top floor. It was very nice actaully..better than what I expected. There was a large window that revealed the entire view of the city. The lights were bright and sometimes i'd forgotten how large the city really was. 

"I'll take the couch tonight...you can hav my bed" He said before plopping down onto the sofa 'No..I don't want to do that to you.." I looked over to him frowning "I mean..i'm fine with the couch"

"No you're taking the bed i'll be fine.." He slipped off his shoes and laid back it was obvious the sofa was to small since his legs hung off the edge "are you sure..?"

"Positive.." He glanced at me "It's just down the hall.."

"I um..alriht.." I sighed...I went towards the room and slipped off my jacket. I still had the dress on but I really didn't care at this point in time. I laid back on his bed and pulled the sheets over me...I still felt weird for him laying on the couch, I bit my lip and sat back up..the bed had to be at least king sized..he could sleep on the other end..after debating with myself I went back out to see him already crashed out on the couch, I went back into the room to grab a few blankets and pillow before bringing them out - he at least had to be comfartable. I put a blanket over him and slid a pillow under his head before  walking over near the window and laying the other pillow down on the carpet in front of it. I laid on the ground and pulled the cover over me and just watched the city lights sparkle.  I closed my eyes thinking of everything that happened tonight.

He barely knew me and wanted me safe...I don't know why that was or why he and Kristal seemed so close but maybe he wasn't as bad as I think...
