Selena's P.O.V
David and I finally get to the warehouse after a really awkward car ride. The warehouse is huge, way bigger then I expected it to be. Windows are busted out, graffiti covering literally every inch of the walls, and the parking lot looks like it's been used as a dumping ground for the city. It's horrendously ugly and just looking at it I'm scared. I can't even imagine how scared Demi must've been. She has it a lot worse then me because she had no one to protect her while I have David.
Speaking of David, I don't know why I keep kissing him. I'm engaged. I keep cheating on the person that I love more then anything in this world. But then why do I keep fucking up? I'm going to have to tell Demi. Oh God, I'm going to have to tell Demi I cheated on her with her body guard. She's never going to be able to trust anyone after this. What have I done?
"Okay, we're going to park here," David says as he parks on the right side of the warehouse behind some overfilled dumpsters. "I-I don't know exactly where Demi is in this warehouse, Selena. I couldn't tell that by just a trace. You're going to stay in the car and we're gonna talk through the phone. I don't know what to expect, but I'm sure everyone in there is fully armed. I'm not going to take the chance of bringing you in there in case anything happens, okay?"
This makes me really mad. I'm not going to just stay in the car when my Demi is in there being held captive!
"No, I'm going with you. And if you say no, well then I'll just go in after you're out of my sight and what happens to me is on you. Either you let me go with you and protect me, or I go in alone and possibly die. Your choice. I WILL NOT stay in HERE when Demi is in THERE!" David sighs and reaches under his seat.
"Well if you're going to be so stubborn, here's a gun. If you go with me I need to know that you'll have my back like I'll have yours. Ever shoot a gun before?" David has a dumb ass grin on his face right now and it's pissing me off. Why do men and boys think women are weaker and can't handle things?
"Get that fucking grin off your face, dumb ass. No part of this situation is funny. Of course I've shot a gun before. My dad and grandpa are hunters and have taught me how to shoot. I hit the bulls-eye on my third try. I'm good at aiming at small things, so you better protect your dick." David's eyes widen and it's hilarious, but I can't laugh or else I'd be a hypocrite.
"Uh..well...I...uh..I'll keep that in m-mind." I flash a quick smile at him and hop out of the truck.
...
"Okay, so I've got your back and you've got mine, right? Don't you dare go ahead of me, Selena. And don't you dare stray away from me. We need to keep each other protected. I don't know how armed they are or how many there are of them." I roll my eyes as we open the side door entrance into the warehouse. This is the fifth time he's said this to me. I know what I need to do and I don't need to keep getting reminded like I'm a 5 year old.
"Selena, did you hear me?"
"YES, DAVID I FUCKING HEARD YOU THE FIRST 2 TIMES YOU SAID THAT TO ME. I'M NOT STUPID!" I snap at David. He treats me like I'm some kind of child and it pisses me the fuck off.
"Shh! God dammit, Selena. You better hope they didn't hear you yelling like that at the top of your lungs. Stop being so dumb and careless and maybe I won't have to keep repeating stuff to you." I grab David by his wrist and try my hardest to turn his body around so he's looking at me square in the face, but unfortunately I fail miserably. He weighs so much more than me and although I'm pretty strong for a girl, I'm not strong enough to even cause him to budge. David starts smirking at me.
"You find this funny, David? Huh? Is this so fucking funny to you? I swear to God if you smirk one more time I will shove something so far up your ass that it'll come out of your mouth. Or even better, I'll use this gun to shoot you in the dick that you obviously are lacking." David's smirk quickly disappears off of his face, and he's lucky. I'm done with him thinking he is the shit, because he's not. I need my Demi, and he needs to stop being a controlling asshole so I can get her.
"Fine, fine, fine. Calm down, Selena. You're getting too ups-"
"I'M GETTING TOO UPSET ABOUT YOU BEING AN ASSHOLE?! I AM? OH REA-" Before I can finish my sentence, David's hand flies up to cover my mouth.
"Shut up! Shut the fuck up! You're going to get us killed!" David yell whispers at me. I bite his hand as hard as I'm able to. David lets out a squeal and looks at his hand. I drew some blood, but I don't care. David glares at me and I stare back. I won't let him win this or anything else for that matter. After 5 minutes, David breaks the silence.
"Fine, Selena. You win. I'm sorry for being an asshole. But we really need to stop arguing because Demi is in there and we need to get her out as safely as possible." I mentally reward myself with a high five. Selena has done it again!
I follow David into the warehouse and as soon as we step in, I regret coming. I should've stayed in the car. The place is filled with rats crawling around everywhere, and God knows what else. This was an awful idea. I cover my mouth quickly as I feel a scream coming out of my mouth. This is gross and so unsanitary and oh my God Demi is in here. David lifts a finger up to his mouth to shush me. He waves his hand at me and continues onward further into this hell hole.
...
We've been in this God forsaken warehouse for 45 minutes now and we haven't even covered half of the warehouse yet. That's how big it is. But then again, we're walking as slow as turtles as to not bring awareness to us.
"David," I whisper, "Can we take a break here, I'm really tired and worn out from all this stair climbing." I walk over to what looks like a work bench without a response from David and sit down.
"Yeah, yeah, sure. We should take a quick break." David walks over to sit next to me after making sure the whole room is clear.
"Thank you for helping me look for Demi."
"It's no pro-" David stops talking. He holds a finger up to his lips as a sign not to say anything.
"No, Boss. There are no other people in this warehouse besides us." David quickly grabs my hand and drags me over to hide behind a large machine of some sort.
"I don't know whose car that is outside, Boss. I'm sure it's no one. Yes, we'll check out the entire warehouse. Okay, bye." Two big men have just entered the room we're hiding out it. Shit, they saw the car. I thought we did a pretty damn good job of hiding it. Maybe we were too loud downstairs. I silently curse myself. I can be so dumb sometimes.
"I think Boss is just too paranoid. No one's going to come back for that bitch. As soon as they have the money transferred into the account, they're gonna kill her." I gasp. They...did they just say they were gonna kill her? They're gonna..kill Demi? David puts a hand on my back and rubs small circles in hopes of trying to calm me down. I know he's just as scared as I am because I can hear his heart beating through his shirt.
"This room is all clear. There's probably no one even in here besides us. I think we should just head back up to the top floor where she's being held and call Boss and tell him no one is here."
As soon as we hear the clickity clack of the men's shoes decrease to almost nothing, David and I come out of our hiding spot. I start crying.
"They...they said they were gonna kill her, David. They're going to kill Demi." David pulls me into a hug.
"Selena, listen to me, okay? Listen. They are not going to kill her. Do you know why? Because I'm going to kill them before they even can think about shooting her. Okay? I won't let them kill her. We're going to get Demi back alive. But right now I just need you to be strong, okay? Demi would want that. We're going to head up to the top floor because that's where they said they were keeping her. So we're going to go there right now, but I need to know you'll be strong, Selena." David kisses the top of my head. I wipe the tears from my face
"Yeah, I'll be strong. I am strong. Let's go."
...
Ten minutes later we're at the top floor and I can hear noises coming from a room nearby.
"I think the noises are coming from the right," David says. I nod my head in agreement and we start walking towards the noise. We reach a doorway and sitting in the middle of the room is Demi tied up to a chair. There are four men surrounding her. David pushes me back towards the wall and tells me to stay quiet.
"Okay, there are four men. Between me and you we have enough amo to shoot them all. But Selena, you can't just shoot them to injure them. I need you to shoot them to kill them. I know it's going to be hard to kill someone, but we need to. These are horrible, awful people and they will just keep coming back if we don't. Can you do that, Selena? Can you kill them?" I slowly process everything David is saying to me. I need to kill people. I will kill people. I CAN'T KILL PEOPLE! No, Selena. You have to. They're going to kill your Demi if you don't.
"Okay, yes. I can do that." David smiles weakly and nods his head.
"Good. We're going to go in together and aim for the two guys standing behind Demi. I'm going after the ones in front of her. Whatever you do, don't shoot in the direction of Demi. Shoot the men, that's all. I trust your aim." I nod and as soon as I nod David puts up one finger, then two, then three. On three we go running into the room and I start mindlessly shooting in the direction of the men behind Demi. One of them falls, I think I killed him. The other one draws a weapon from his belt and starts shooting back at me. I duck behind a machine and sit on the ground for a second. Woah. This is too much. I'm going to die, then Demi will die and my God. I stand back up and start shooting again. After the 4th shot fired, I finally hit the man and he falls down, too. I didn't realize it, but David shot his men down too.
I run over to Demi and she looks so scared.
"Demi, babe. I'm here, I'm here." Demi looks up at me with her brown eyes and she looks so lost and scared. She begins sobbing and I pull her into a hug.
"I..I was so scared, Lena. They...were going to kill me. They..they were going to rape me then kill me." While I'm comforting Demi, David has pulled out his knife and begins cutting away the bondage used to tie Demi down to the chair.
"You're okay, babe. You're okay. We got you safely and now we're going home. You're okay." As soon as the bondage is off, Demi stands up from the chair and hugs me even tighter.
"I knew you would try to get me..you're so stupid but I love you so much." Hearing Demi say she loves me breaks my heart. Here I have this beautiful girl so in love with me, and I in love with her and I cheated on her. I'm so stupid. Maybe I won't tell her...
