Only You (Sequel to Why Try)

Chapter twenty

Justin's P.O.V

The past week and a half has been tough not seeing Aribella, I do miss her, a lot. I called her a few days after I left and we briefly spoke, it was awkward though. I could tell that she was still feeling like shit which is understandable and I feel so bad about it all.

I have seen the boys when my mom had them both two days, I spent the day with them and it so good to see them. I spent a few days in Canada seeing my family and I didn't realise how much I missed them until I saw them. I told the kids that once me and Aribella have sorted this out they can come and stop for a few weeks and I know Ari will love that because she hasn't seen them in so long neither have the boys.

The media have loved seeing me and Aribella like this. Everyday there is a new theory to why we have gone on a break and now I just laugh at them. Jade has repeatedly tried to get in contact with me, I'm not interested. If I didn't speak to her that day me and Bells would still be together now. I still can't believe Jade would stoop that low and send a text like she did, it's been playing on my mind. Having time to myself has been nice and relaxing, I've been able to go over everything that has happened and now I've thought of it, Aribella didn't overrated at all, she has a right to go off like she did. I would have been worse if I saw her with Rory, her ex so I get why she went off like she did and if I could take away that lunch time and go on with my life like it never happened I would.

I'm currently in the local town café with Tiana and of course there are stories saying that me and Tiana have gone behind Aribella's back and that we are now dating and it me and Tiana just sit here and laugh about it all. We have been coming to this café for about a week now and we have just talked about everything and anything yeah at times it been a little awkward but it been good to get out and talk to someone.

"What got plans this week then?" Tiana asked as she took a sip of her iced coffee.
"Yeah erm I remembered I got invited to a charity event Stand Up To Cancer, where there's going to be some performances in order to raise money for different charities, me and a Scooter are going. Some other celebrities are going but I'm not sure who, well I know some of Scooter's friends, Kourtney K and a few female singers like Demi and Camila are going but that's all I can remember. It's in the UK".
"I didn't even know there was an event going to be happening, I've heard nothing. Are you going to Hailey's birthday dinner?"
"I'm not sure, maybe. I just don't want there to be an atmosphere there because me and Aribella aren't speaking, well haven't spoke. How is she?" I asked Tiana as I took a sip of my iced coffee.
"To me she's making out like she's okay but I know she's not. She misses you so much and it's upsetting seeing you guys apart like you guys are thee power couple. I love you both so much and it is sad not seeing you both together"
"I know, I miss her too but for me us not being around each other all the time has helped us and I feel like when we meet up or something we will be better. Once I'm back from the UK I'll go back home and speak to her"
"Good because I miss my favourite couple, so does everybody!"
I picked up my phone from the table and clicked on Instagram so I could post. I began scrolling through my timeline and a recent post of Aribella's popped up, she posted it fifteen minutes ago. On the picture she looked pretty sad and the caption hurt me a little 'I'm just thinkin bout you...😭'.
I let out a sigh and turned my phone to Tiana so she could see.
"Seen this?" She looked up from her phone and she also let out a sigh.
"See she misses you like crazy Justin, please work things out".

Hailey's birthday party was lastnight and honestly it was so good. I got to see old friends from years ago that either moved away or I just lost contact with. I saw Aribella, we didn't speak much but it was nice to see her and she was so happy but before I knew it the night was over and I was on my way back to my hotel.

It's morning now and I'm currently in my hotel room. I leave for the UK in a few hours for the charity event thats happening in a few days I'm pretty excited to see who's performing and to see some people and raise money. I'm going a few days early so I can go to a few meetings and see the city of London, meet fans and chill, I've missed the UK.
I picked my phone and unlocked it, I'm going to FaceTime my boys, I miss them so much.
