Sunday.
I wake up with a smile on my face, yesterday with Justin was perfect. I don't know what I am to Justin but I love it. I don't know whether we're together or whether we're just friends but I don't care, i've never been treated like this by anyone in my life.
I get up and shower and get dressed in one of my new outfits, blue denim shorts, white short sleeve fitted crop top, white converse and a pink hair clip bow with my hair down. It's cute, Justin's surprisingly good at putting outfits together.
I go downstairs to my mom.
Mom: Morning sweetie
She is too busy making breakfast to lift her head up to look at me.
Me: Morning mom
She looks up at me and gives me a double take in disbelief.
Mom: Okay who are you and what have you done with my daughter
Me: What?
Mom: What are you wearing?
Me: Oh, do you like it?
My mom looks at me
Mom: Eh..when did you buy this?
Me: Yesterday, Justin bought it for me
Mom: Yeah I bet he did
Me: What do you mean?
Mom: You look like a wh**e
I gasp
Me: MOM!
Mom: What?! Look at you, you've barely got any clothes on, you're showing your stomach. You might as well write h*e on your forehead.
My eyes fill up with tears.
Me: I'm going out
I grab my door keys and storm out the front door.
I go for a walk in the local park and let my tears fall. I text Justin.
Heyy,
Are you around?
-Ari X
I look at my phone waiting for a reply but I don't get one. I carry on walking and see a couple siting on a bench kissing further down the path.
[like the chapter pic ⬆️]
I smile and carry on walking, I walk passed them and they break from the kiss.
I look at them.
Me: Justin?!
Vanessa: Ew get away from us creature
I look at Justin, They're both looking at me. Justin looks down and tears fall from my eyes again.
Justin*quietly*: You heard her...
Me: Justin?
Vanessa: Go
I leave them alone and carry on walking. How can he be so different to yesterday? How can he go back to being a jerk after everything we've done together. Was he really only using me for a grade and everything he says and does is fake?
I leave the park and walk around town for a few more hours to clear my head. I get home at 5pm and go straight to my room. My mom comes upstairs a few minutes later.
Mom*soft voice*: Where did you go?
Me: Out..
Mom: I know, where?
Me: Why?
Mom: Because I'm your mom and I wanna know
Me: I went to the park and then walked around town
Mom: Have you been crying?
I don't answer her question
Me: Can you close the door on your way out please
Mom: Oh..sure. What about dinner?
Me: Not hungry
Mom: Okay...well you know where me and your dad are if you need us
She closes my door and goes back downstairs. My phone beeps with a text from Justin.
Ariana, call me
-Justin X
I open it but don't reply, my phone keeps beeping
~
Princess, please
-Justin X
~
Ariana!
Please I'm sorry
-Justin X
~
It's not what you think
-Justin X
I text him back
Leave me alone Justin
-Ariana
My phone starts ringing, it's Justin. I hit ignore and get up from laying on my bed. I sit at my desk and carry on with the geography project.
Me*to myself*: He mightn't care about this but I do.
My phone rings every 2 minutes for half an hour. I hear a noise by my window and see Justin climbing up the tree outside it. Before I had time to lock it he climbs through my window.
I stand up and go over to him
Me: Get out
Justin: Just let me explain
Me: No need, I know exactly what your game is
Justin: Game?
Me: Yes, game. I'm just your f*****g toy that you're playing with.
Justin smiles
Me: What are you smiling at?
Justin: You cussed
Me: Yeah well people change...well except you. You're still the same Jerk I've always known you to be. Still the same player playing the same game, how was I so stupid to believe you. Just leave, I'll do the project on my own.
Justin: Ariana..
Me: Forget about it Justin. Leave me alone
Justin: Ari-
I sit down and carry on with the project
Me: Leave
Justin: No, let me explain
Me: Okay explain
Justin: I-I..
Me: You can't right?
Justin: Its complicated
Me: Sure. Yknow what, forget about everything. Forget about the project, forget about yesterday and most importantly forget about me.
Justin: Please..Ari I need you
Me: No you need the grade
He comes over to me an spins my chair around to face him. He gets on his knees so he's eye level with me and comes close to me but I turn my head away. He puts his finger and thumb on my chin and gently turns my head to face his.
Justin: You look beautiful today
I just look in his eyes, he can tell that I'm hurt.
Justin: Look I'm sorry about today, I can't explain what you saw but I can make it up to you. Please give me a chance to?
I nod my head slowly
Me: Okay..
Justin smiles and kisses me softly, I kiss him back.
My mom shouts upstairs
Mom: Ariana is there anyone up there with you?
I put my finger on my lips to signal for Justin to be quiet
Me*shouts down*: No ma' it's just me
Mom: I can hear voices
Me: I'm..er..reading aloud
Mom: Okay
I hear my mom walk away from the bottom of the stairs
Me*quietly*: Okay you have to go
Justin pouts cutely
Me: I know I don't want you to either but you have to okay
Justin nods and stands up
Justin: When are you gonna introduce me to them so I can actually be allowed in here?
Me: Introduce you? As what?
Here's my chance to find out what I am to him.
Justin: Your project partner obviously
Me: ..Oh..yeah..right of course. Maybe tomorrow after school.
Justin smiles
Justin: Good, it will save me having to climb that stupid tree all the time
We both giggle and he kisses my forehead
Justin: See you tomorrow
Me: Bye
Justin climbs out the window and down the tree.
..Tomorrow is gonna be interesting..
