One Way Or Another (Sequel to She's Not Afraid)

Chapter 15: Give Me A Try

Justin: Things were quiet between Maggie and I for the next week. I was getting impatient. I hadn't really hurt her feeling's that bad had I? I mean, it was a fact that was who she had been. And that she really did have feelings for me. It was time to bring out those feelings. 

Maggie: I decided radio silence was the way to deal with that obnoxious, little, um, excuse me while I go cuss myself out in a different room.

Anyway, so Justin was driving me absolutely nuts. He kept trying to talk to me, but I still ignored him. Do you know how hard it is for a girl like me to ignore him? Him and his little inuendos I just don't want to hear anymore. He's obnoxious. 

Today he walked up with a grin on his face, "So hows the radio silence working for you? Still doesn't get rid of the problem permanently does it." I ignored him. "Is this working for loverboy too?" he asked a different question. I laughed a little to myself. "You realize the chances of falling for your costar are much higher when your on a romantic movie do to the fact you act as if you are in love with him, so it tricks your mind into thinking you're in love with the person."

"Then I must not be a very good actress," I said, breaking. I put a hand on my hip and faces him. 

"She speaks," Justin said with a twisted smile. 

"Yeah, there's no need to brag," I said, "Did you know the chances of a person hating you are much higher when you say she is in love with you and invade her personal time?" 

"You posted it on Twitter, my dear," Justin said, "That was an invatation." 

"Not for you," Maggie said. 

"Oh?" Justin raised his eyebrows, "You realize that Twitter is a place for everyone, there for you invited everyone. Including me." 

"Sorry you didn't think of the fine print," I said, "And while I'm at it, I'm sorry my hints are too suddle. Sorry you take me saying I hate you as a insight that I like you." 

Justin looked down at his shoes. Then he walked away. 

Later I walked into my trailer. "Um, hey," Justin said, sitting on the table. I bit back a scream. 

"Who invited you in?" I asked. 

"You know, I did a little thinking," Justin said. 

"Wow," I said, "Thats quite an accomplishment for you." 

"Laugh all you want," Justin said, "I guess I would if I were you." 

"Justin?" I asked, "What's up?" 

"You were right about everything. And I'm sorry," Justin said. I looked at him. He continued, "I just wanted you to give me a try." 

"Uh," I said. That was all I could say. Was he feeling alright? I sat down on the seat by the table. 

"Maggie, I will never be what Niall is. But I really do think you are amazing," Justin said. I sat quiet. What was up hear. Justin leaned over, looking into my eyes. I didn't know what to say about all of this. "Maggie, I know you will never love me, but I hope one day you'll at least forgive me." But then something I wasn't expecting happened. Justin bent down and kissed me. I froze. That jerk. I reached my hand up and punched him square across the face. Justin fell off the table, and touched his cheek. 

"Um, ow," Justin said. 

"What was That," I asked. 

"Kissing," Justin said, "But you liked it. I know you did." 

"NO!" I screamed, "And what was all that stuff before." 

"Oh my gosh Maggie. I can't believe you can't see acting when its right in front of your face!" Justin said, rubbing his cheeck. I kicked him in the stomach. He bent over. 

"Get out of my trailer. NOW!" I screamed. Justin stood up, still holding where I had kicked him. "I never want to speak to you again. NEVER!!" 

"Maggie," Justin said, just outside my trailer. I slammed the door in his face.
