Summary: "Are you alright?" he asked, playing with her hair. "Of course; just a terrible, beautiful nightmare." Selena smirked before kissing him on the lips lightly again and falling on top of him slightly
As she raced down the stars, Selena was praying for him to be behind her, as close as he could get. “David! Hurry!” her voice breaking on his name. The tears stained her face some more as she sobbed and nearly fell down the last three steps. She hit the wall with a thud and cried harder. She brought her hands to her face to absorb the tears and wiped her hands on her shirt before running down the next set of steps. “Oh, God, David. Hurry.” she cried harder now and stumbled down the last five stairs of this set of steps.
“Selena, get up, get up.” David said as he reached her, he helped her at least sit up. “Look, we're safe. They can't get us.” he assured her, bringing his hands to her face. He wiped away her tears as she sobbed some more. “D-David..” she mumbled and brought her head to his chest. “Why are they after you in the first place?” he questioned. She was barely eighteen and sure this was illegal, but he was in love with her and he had to take care of her. Selena just sobbed more. “I-I, d-don't know. The serial killer is loose, I have nothing to do with it. I swear.” she assured him with a shake of her head. “They keep yelling for us. They're mad at you, okay. Baby, everything is going to be fine. I promise.” he muttered before placing his lips against hers in a sweet kiss.
Suddenly she pulled out of it and held up a finger. Silence, finally. There was no more screaming. “The killer...His little pack of friends. They're still following us. I know it. Just because he's gone with his right hand man...men...Doesn't mean it's over.” she said and sobbed a few more times. “Just kill me. I don't care how. Just do it.” Selena's voice was just a bit higher. David shook his head. “No. Never. Selena, I can't kill you. I won't do it.” he said, sure that if he didn't stay strong he'd kill her then himself. And most likely, he'd start crying too. The thought of losing her was unbearable. He hated her so much he could almost kill her, even though he didn't want to. “Damnit. David. Do it. I fucking hate you right now; If you don't kill me. It's over. They're going to kill me either way. And you too. Just kill me. Do it. Then yourself.” she begged and glared intensely at him.
“Fine.” David said before opening the door on the small landing of the steps. He opened the door and then went into the office space. He grabbed the closest thing he could find; a pair of scissors. They'd do. He'd have to....He'd have to stab her. He sighed as he felt the small tears stream down his face as well. He slammed the door shut and kneeled down in front of her. She had her back against the wall, eyes closed. “I can't. Selena, I-I can't...” he muttered shaking his head.
“Do it.” she said, “Just...Just do it. My-My heart. It'll be the quickest way.” she said. Her voice was so high and desperate, it pierced his heart. “Okay. Fine; sure, I'll do it.” he snapped. She nearly smiled at him. “But before I do, I know we don't have much time, but I love you. I always have and I will. You do realize after I do this I'm going to have to kill myself too.” he said, looking at her for a split second before holding the scissors better in his hands.
“Wait.” Selena said, the tears basically gone from her face, “Kiss me, please?” she asked. David, completely a sucker for her, of course, dropped the scissors. “Okay.” he said quietly as he leaned in. Instead of just a soft, sweet kiss, though; it was more intense. His hands made their way into her soft curls and she pulled slightly on his black hair. She pulled away slightly out of breath. “I love you.” she said, wiping away a few tears. David took a deep breath. “I love you too.” he choked out before carefully picking up the scissors.
Selena took a deep breath. “Now, do it.” she said quietly. “Okay; sure.” he muttered, and closed his eyes. Without thinking about it he plunged it into her. And before she could even say that she loved him, her eyes closed lightly. David cried just a bit harder. Her chest was no longer rising and falling in that gentle, soft way that she always did; but before he could look at the blood staining her tight shirt, he had no choice but to do what he'd just did to her to himself.

Selena sprung up in the soft sheets that clung her petite body perfectly. She looked around the room; the small window, the laptop open to her Facebook and Twitter pages, as well as the scent of her mother's laundry soap that she used so often it was crazy. It made no sense that she could smell it though, seeing that the door was closed. Then she looked over at David. She sighed contently and smiled. She moved her legs so they were under her. “David!” she said and hit him with the pillow she'd just been laying on mere seconds ago. David looked over at her with a groggy, dazed face.
“Good morning to you too. I would've just accepted a hug.” he smirked before sitting up. “It's only 5 a.m. What are you doing awake? And more importantly, waking me.” he said questioningly. Selena then giggled and kissed him lightly on the nose and teasingly pushed him back onto her bed. “I love you.” she said quietly before kissing him softly on the lips. He kissed back of course and pulled back after, maybe, ten seconds. “Are you alright?” he asked, playing with her hair.
“Of course; just a terrible, beautiful nightmare.” Selena smirked before kissing him on the lips lightly again and falling on top of him slightly.
