Chapter 18
Recap:
I was so happy. My best friend was possibly moving in with me, I had the best boyfriend in the world, and as of right now I had no worries about pregnancy scares or anything.
Of course I should've known that with this many good things in my life, I had nowhere to go but downhill. After all, all good things eventually come to an end.

I opened my eyes at 6am on a Saturday afternoon and looked around to see what was making all the noise.
I looked at my nightstand and saw my phone there. Usually I kept my phone off at night, but I forgot to last night, so this was my punishment. I was about to answer it grumpily, but then I saw the caller ID. It was Taylor.
I pressed ignore and rolled over to go back to sleep, but it started ringing again.
I pressed ignore yet again and then turned off my phone.
**
Two hours later I woke up and turned on my phone again. 7 new messages, all from Taylor. WTF?
I looked at the first one
"Hey Tina, you busy today? I really wanted to talk to you"
I rolled my eyes and looked at the next one
"Why aren't you answering your phone?"
Delete. Next
"Hey I don't know why you aren't answering your phone but if you don't call me back in an hour I'm coming to your house. We really need to talk, Tina."
I looked at all the other messages, which were pretty much more of the same thing. I realized that he said he was going to come over about two hours ago, but he must have left by now. I specifically told Rosalinda to not let him in if he came.
I brushed my teeth and did my makeup and hair, then got dressed in some skinny jeans and a pale pink sweater that I got from Guess. Then I padded downstairs to get myself a cup of coffee. I noticed Rosalinda was leaning against the kitchen counter, looking nervous.
"Good morning Rosalinda."
"Good morning Tina. How are you this morning?"
"I'm pretty good. By the way did Taylor come to the door this morning or something? He sent me a few messages..."
"Oh, I don't um, remember. Can I get you something? Want some eggs or coffee? Cereal?"
"You can tell me if he showed up Rosalinda, I don't care just as long as you didn't let him in, like I told you."
"Uhh... why didn't you want Taylor to come in again?"
She looked so nervous I had to ask
"Rosalinda, you didn't let Taylor in, did you?"
"Uhhh... well"
"What?! You did, didn't you?!"
"Well Tina, he was very persistent! He wouldn't give up, said it was a matter of life or death!"
"Ugh fine. Where is he?"
"In the family room. I apologize Tina"
I sighed. "It's okay Rosalinda. Taylor can be pretty persuasive"
I slowly made my way to the living room, taking my sweet time. When I got there I saw Taylor sitting on MY couch, watching MY tv, sipping water from MY glass.
"So what do you want, Taylor?" I said from behind him, making him jump in fright.
"Tina! Ahh I've been trying to get a hold of you all day! I really need to talk to you"
"Yeah, I figured. What is it that you wanted to talk about? If you are trying to get me back or something though, no such luck. I'm dating Justin now, and I probably would never forgive you anyway.
Taylor sighed "So it's true? You're really dating Justin Bieber then?"
"Yes, it's true. And I have to say that he is a much better boyfriend than you ever were, trust me on that one. He actually treats me well. Oh, and doesn't cheat on me with my best friend."
Taylor looked speechless "Th-that's actually what I wanted to talk to you about Tina. I though a lot about what I did and I realized that I really should have treated you better. I know I can never take back what I did, but I will try my hardest to make it up to you, because I still love you Tina, and I'm gonna do whatever it takes to get you back."
I appreciated the apology, but I knew Taylor, and I didn't trust his words.
"Why do you want me back, Taylor?" I asked, catching him off guard
"Well I- You're really pretty, your clumsiness is actually pretty cute, and- you have an amazing bod. Like, seriously, so hot"
Aaaaaand that was a fail. This just proved to me that he cared more about my looks and fame than my actual personality. A good boyfriend would've said something about my PERSONALITY, not "Your body's hot". I rolled my eyes and walked to stand right in front of Taylor
"You actually think that's going to convince me, Taylor? Seriously?"
Taylor looked confused. Apparently he thought that was the best reason ever.
"Well, yeah. What was wrong with that? Don't try and tell me that you don't still feel an attraction toward me Tina."
I looked him up and down. He had always seemed so attractive to me, with his big muscles and green eyes and winning smile, but as I saw him there, smiling his cocky smile and subtly flexing his muscles, his cockiness suddenly seemed repulsive to me. How did I ever date a guy that was this obsessed with himself? I should've listened to Kaley all along. He was nothing but a shallow douchebag who thought he could keep a girlfriend with only nice muscles and a winning smile, and a few kind words here and there.
"Actually, I really don't. I'm not totally sure what I ever saw in you, Taylor. I'm dating Justin now, and if you think I would dump him for YOU, you are nuts. Now kindly leave and don't let the door hit you on the way out"
Taylor just scoffed "Fine, you just wait. Justin is a singer, and he has to go back on tour soon. He will leave on his little tour bus, and leave you here alone. He may seem like a completely awesome guy right now, but trust me, a guy like that WILL break your heart eventually."
And with that he walked out of my house to to knows where.
I thought about what he just said, and realized he was probably right. I knew Justin would have to go back on tour soon, and It's not like I could go with him. I had school to worry about, plus I KNOW Kaley wouldn't be allowed to go, and I couldn't leave her here, staying in my house that I wasn't even living in. I sank down on the couch and thought more. Would he eventually break my heart? Would we have to break up? You can't have a relationship with only Skype conversations.
I was definitely going to have to talk to Justin about this.
I texted him asking if he could come over today, and then went to the kitchen to ask Rosalinda to make me an extra strong cup of coffee and some chocolate chip pancakes. I had a really strong craving for chocolate, and it always put me in a good mood.

Two hours later, Justin was at my house
I opened the door to see him standing there, and he automatically leaned in to give me a kiss. I kissed him back, but not with as much passion as usual.
"Hey baby girl, I got you an oat bar from Starbucks, I thought you might be hungry"
I smiled and took the Starbucks bag. Justin was so considerate.
"Thank you Justin. Wanna come sit down for a second? There is something I wanted to talk to you about."
He looked slightly wary, but went and sat down anyway, motioning for me to sit next to him. I sat down and he wrapped his arms around my shoulders, pulling me close to him.
"What did you want to talk about?"
"When do you have to leave to go on tour?" I blurted out. It seemed to catch him off guard. Maybe he also hadn't thought of this.
"Oh my goodness, I almost completely forgot about that... well actually um... I think, three... weeks?"
Three weeks?!?!?!?!
"And what am I gonna do? We both know I obviously can't go on tour with you, and you can't cancel your tour."
Justin looked deep in thought for a second, trying desperately to think of a way this might work. I knew there probably wasn't. Also, didn't he have Jasmine Villegas on tour with him? Pretty girl + famous sixteen year old attractive boy = trouble and possible cheating. I knew they had a history, so what if Justin did the same thing as Taylor? How could I trust him when I didn't even know half the things he was doing? It would be so easy for him to keep it from me...
"I don't know Tina. I honestly don't know. The tour isn't for that long, maybe we could make a long distance relationship work until I get back?"
"Would that really work though? I just broke up with a guy for cheating, and now I'm going to let you go off with this Jasmine girl - who you just happen to have history with - and trust you completely not to cheat? You will probably going to get lonely without me there Justin, and I think we both know you can't have a relationship when the only ways we have of contacting each other is through texting or calling or Skype."
Justin put his head in his hands and breathed in and out deeply.
"You know I wouldn't cheat on you, Tina. I don't even really like Jasmine like that"
"Then why did you kiss her that one time? I watch the celebrity gossip channel, I know these things."
"Like you said, I was lonely. But I have you, and the last thing I would ever want to do is hurt you, Tina. I swear on my life I would NEVER cheat on you. Not in a million years."
"So you think a long distance relationship would work then? You could go off to a bunch of different countries for who knows how long and then come back and everything is back to normal? I don't think it would be that easy Justin..."
He considered this. "Maybe you're right. So what do you want to do then?"
"I guess we will figure it out when the time comes. All I know now is that I really like you, and if there was some way for me to come on tour with you I totally would."
Justin smiled at me, then leaned in and gave me a peck on the lips
"You know I don't want to leave, right? I was so happy that we were finally together, and I feel so bad that I'm already messing things up and we've only been dating for like, a little more than two days. That's got to be some kind of record."
I laughed and then changed the subject. Like I said, we would figure it out when the time came.
**
Me, Justin, and Kaley were all laying on my bed, watching the movie "Planes Trains and Automobiles" and munching on a ginormous bowl of popcorn with lots of butter.
I was snuggled up to Justin and he had both arms wrapped around my torso, while Kaley just sat there, complaining occasionally about being a third wheel.
"This movie is really funny. If only I could hear it over THE SOUNDS OF YOU TWO GIGGLING AND MAKING OUT" Kaley said jokingly.
Me and Justin blushed and pulled away for a second, but then as soon as Kaley's head was turned Justin leaned in and started kissing me again.
She sighed dramatically, but didn't complain any more. I really needed to get Kaley a good boyfriend.
When the movie ended Kaley jumped up, making some sarcastic comment before walking briskly out of there, to the guest room.
I barely noticed, however, because Justin was started kissing me as soon as Kaley left the room, this time even more passionate. I snuggled up even closer to him as he slowly started slipping his hands under my shirt, to my bra clip.
"Justin, what are you doing?" I mumbled in between kisses
"Oh, sorry, right. Pregnancy scare."
I giggled then went back to kissing him. I really liked Justin, but I had been meaning to go to the pharmacy to buy birth control pills or something. I didn't want a repeat of last time.
We went back to simple kissing, and then after a little while I finally pulled away, not wanting things to get out of hand. I snuggled up to him again, and eventually I fell asleep nestled against his chest.

*Tina's Dream*
Justin was gone. On tour, in some random country somewhere, doing who knows what. I missed him so much I didn't know what to do. I got up and decided I should Skype him.
I got out my laptop and turned on the tv, something to do while the computer was turning on.
As usual, the tv was on the celebrity gossip channel, and of course I saw Justin's face on the screen. I expected to see something about his concert, but I saw something else, something heartbreaking. A picture of him and Jasmine Villegas, walking out of a jewelry store, hand in hand. The next picture they showed was of him and her making out passionately, then they cut to a clip of one of Justin's interviews.
"Yeah, I've been dating Jasmine ever since my tour started and I think I'm in love with her. I gave her a promise ring and so far the relationship is going amazing. She's just so... amazing."
"But Justin, I heard you were dating Tina Stevenson? What happened with that?"
Justin looked confused "Tina who? I don't know a Tina..."
I started sobbing uncontrollably, rolling up into a ball right there on the couch and staining my jeans with tears. "WHYY? WHYY? HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME JUSTIN?" I screamed, still sobbing. I kept repeating this until I heard someone calling my name, and then I woke up

So there ya go. Lol. I really hope you enjoyed that part and... yeah! There's not really much more to say haha.
So thank you so much for reading and please comment and vote letting me know what you thought! :) <3
