May's POV

"Ross!" I yell as I see Calum slump over in his chair.

His head is gushing blood.

But now all I really care about is Ross.

I see him come downstairs with a knife.

He starts cutting away on my rope.

I'm free.

Next he cuts Gabby's off.

Were both free.

We were supposed to have school.... but we kinda got kidnapped.

I run and jump into Ross' arms.

"I was so worried about you. So, so much." He whispered.

"I was worried I would never see you again." I said.

"Me too." He replied.

"Kiss me." I say bluntly.

He leans back and presses his lips against mine hardly, like he has been waiting his whole life for it.

"Come on. We have to go. People are worried about you two." Ross said taking my hand.

I give Gabby a quick smile and walk up the steps.

"Wait....what do we do about Calum?" Gabby says and stops going up the steps.

"Well I guess we could call the cops. I mean...it was self defense. Right?" Ross said.

"Yea." I reassured him.

"Okay I will call." He said and pulled out his phone.

Gabby pulled me to side while Ross was on the phone.

"I don't think it was self-defense." Gabby said looking worried.

"Yes it was! He was protecting....."
I trailed off.

"Us" She picked up.

"He could get in serious trouble....it could end his career." I said looking down.

All Gabby did was nod.

"Ross!" I called going downstairs.

"Yea babe?" He said looking so happy.

"Why do you look so happy?" I asked curiously.

"Because Calum can't hurt you guys anymore!" He said.

God he looks so happy.

And to think what I'm about to tell him...

Sirens. They are here.

"Ross wait! What you did isn't self-defense. He wasn't hurting you. He was hurting us. You could get in really big trouble." I said and grabbed his hands.

A confused look just sprung upon his face.

Ross fell from my grip when a policeman burst through the doors and tackled him.

"ROSS!" I yelled and covered my mouth with my hands.
