Here For You - Justin Bieber

Part 20

I flutter my eyes open.

I feel two strong arms wrapped securely around my waist and my face laying on a hard chest.

I lift my head up towards Justin, he's watching t.v with the sound off.

He notices me stir and looks down at me.

I give him a weak smile which he returns.

"How long was I asleep for?"

"About half an hour."

I rub the sleep out of my eyes and sit up.

I grab my phone and check the time.

11:15

I see I have a few messages from Maria.

I need you to come in.

Now

Why are you not responding?

You have 30 minutes to be here or you're fired.

That was 10 minutes ago.

"Shit." I say and run into my bedroom.

"What's wrong?" Justin calls.

"Maria called me in, I have 20 minutes to be there." I yell back.

I quickly take off my pyjama's throw a dress on and go and brush my hair.

I put all the things I need in my bag. I have about 15 minutes to get there.

I walk out to the lounge room.

"You going to make it on time?"

"I should if I leave now, but I don't know what to do about Lily."

"I could look after her?" He suggests.

"Um, are you sure?" I say uneasy.

I know he's a nice guy and he cares and he's now sorta my boyfriend but I'm still leaving my child with a man.

"Nia, it will be fine." He reassures me.

"Okay. I'll text me every half hour to let me know everything is okay. If she gets hungry there's a few apples, if you could cut one up. Um there's some toys there she likes to play with. No sugar, Um-"

He puts a finger over my lip.

"Nia, I've got it. I have to take care of my younger brother and sister sometimes. I know what to do." He smiles. "Now go, you don't want to be late."

"You're right, sorry. Mother moment I guess." I laugh. "Thank you."

"Its nothing."

"No, I mean for everything." Meaning comforting me from before.

He smiles.

"Anytime."

I peck his cheek and walk out.
