I ripped off part of my shirt and wrapped it around the wound.
"What happened to your arm?" he asked.
"Nothing."
"Faith."
"Stop. You're more important right now."
I took the water James gave me and poured it on him.
"Ow."
"Sorry."
I sat him up so he was sitting up against the wall.
"You didn't tell him anything. Did you?"
"No. But that's how I got you in this mess."
I felt tears stream down my face.
"Hey don't cry. I'm ok. Just a little hurt. That's all."
I sighed.
"Promise me something?"
"What."
"Promise me we are going to he out of here Dominic. Can you just promise me that?"
"Yeah. I promise."
I curled up under his arm.
"I love you," he whispered.
"What?"
"I love you," he whispered again.
I just looked up at him.
"You know. Just in case we don't make it out. I needed to tell you that."
"Don't say that Dominic. Please don't say that!" I cried.
"Ok I'm sorry. I'm sorry."
I never thought I'd be spending the rest of my life kidnapped because of my parents.....
"Faith. Dominic." James said.
I was asleep on Dominic's chest. I shook him and woke him up.
"Yeah?"
"I brought you guys some food."
"Thank you."
"I'm sorry you guys have to go through this. And Faith in sorry I cut your arm."
"Wait. YOU did this to her?"
Dominic grabbed James.
"Dominic! He only did it because he's Erick's slave!"
"So! He stabbed my best friend!"
"I'm sorry. I didn't want to! Really!"
"Dominic! Let him go! He's trying to help us!"
"Fine. Whatever."
"JAMES!" I heard Erick yell.
"Shit. I was never here! Ok?"
I nodded.
James left the room. I could heard Erick yelling.
"Did you just come out of there?"
"No sir."
"You did. What were you doing?"
"Nothing sir."
Erick burst through the door.
"You brought them food? And water?"
"I'm sorry."
Erick grabbed James and stabbed him right in the stomach.
"STOP!" I screamed.
Dominic held me from getting up.
Erick grabbed James and took him outside.
"No! Stop!"
"Faith! Let's go! Nows our chance!"
"What?"
"We are getting out of here!"
Dominic could barely walk. We quietly walked out and passed Erick who was stabbing James....
"No!" I tried to yell but Dominic put his hand over my mouth.
"Shh!"
He sat me down on the floor.
"Wait here."
"What are you."
Dominic saw a gun.... And he took the chance... He shot Erick....
We were outside now....
"I told you. Faith we are safe!"
"But James isn't!"
"I'm sorry."
He fell on the sidewalk from the pain...
"Dd you mean what you said!"
"Huh?"
"Do you love me?"
He didn't answer.
"Dominic."
"Yeah. I do."
I smiled at him.
"I love you too."
He rested his hand on my cheek.... Slowly leaning in.... Our lips met... Sparks flew...
"C'mon. Let's go get you some help."
I'm safe..... I'm ok..... But... James....
