I was outside Jasmine's house. Every single day I come, her elder sister keeps telling me lies and excuses to keep me off, but I decided not to leave till she comes.

I've been in my car for Three days now. When I get hungry, my maid brings the food to me here but I won't move an inch— I only moved to take my bath.

This is the third day I've been here and I'm about to give up. Thinking about everything and nothing, I fell asleep.

JASMINE

Ever since I told Mom and Dad about my bullying experience, they were really mad at me for not speaking up early.

Dad and mom told me specifically not to talk with any of my friends and she took my phone and replaced it with a new one.

That only meant one thing, I couldn't talk to Mila or Justin.

Mom and dad want me to switch schools which isn't possible cause I'm in 12th grade. If I don't get a new school, I'll be homeschooled again.

I looked through my window, I saw Justin outside with his car. I wish I could go out and hug him and tell him how much I loved him but I was stuck here.

My door creaked open and Maddona came in.

"I don't really have anything to say but this Justin guy really likes you and is ready to die for you. He's been staying outside in his car waiting for you" she said

"I know he does and I love him equally but I have to obey mom and dad's instructions" I said

"You don't have to, Mom and Dad would be leaving for China very soon. In about 2 or 3 hours, they'll be gone. You'll go see him" Maddona said

"Good Idea, but the cameras" I asked

"I'll dismantle it for One hour so you have only one hour to say all the good-byes you want to say dear" Maddona said as she opened a bag and brought out spicy chicken.

"Ermm, I can have that chicken right. It doesn't contain cheese" I asked

"No, it's lactose free" Maddona replied as I took a big bite off the chicken.

It was Cold Outside. Mom and dad had travelled to China already and I was really nervous to meet Justin.

Blame it on my hormones...

I nervously stood by Justin window and was about to knock when I saw him sleeping.

He looked so peaceful doing that. His long eyelashes even made his pretty face look prettier.

I knocked on his window and he lazily woke up. As he saw me, he rubbed his eyes and smiled and quickly came down from his car.

"I can't believe it's you Jasmine. I missed you so much" he squealed

So I was wrong when I thought that only girls squeal

"I missed you too" I said as I buried my head in his chest.

"Lets get into the car. It's cold Outside" he said as we both came into the car

I told him the reason why my parents didn't allow me see him and he told me if Aliyah's suspension. I still don't know why I have a soft spot for her.

"Wow, we've spent 45 minutes here already" Justin said

"Wow, I have to get going. Maddona allowed he stay out only for One hour, I didn't know time flies this fast" I said

"Please don't go. I really miss you. I thought you said that your parents have traveled so you can stay longer" he said

"There are cameras everywhere monitoring our movements. Maddie promised to dismantle it for an hour, if it passes an hour and I'm not inside, I'll get screwed" I said as I was about to leave

"Just stay. Five minutes more" he said

"Are you even....." I tried to say before Justin's lips swallowed my words.
Justin was kissing me.
