Chapter 28
“baby what’s wrong?” Justin asks woried when he follows you in to the living room out of hearing range of both your moms. You turn around to face him and take a deep breath hoping you won’t choose the wrong words this time making Justin mad at you again or even worse leave again.
“I just didn’t know we would be leaving so soon and I didn’t even have a chance to talk to my dad” you say careful looking down at your feet cause you’re scared to see the reaction on Justin’s face, the last thing you want to do is hurt his feelings again . you feels his hand on your face we he lifts up your chin to make you look at him, “are you trying to tell me you’re not coming?”. You don’t want to look at him but his gorgeous eyes are too hard to resist, “I don’t know Justin, it’s all going so fast all of a sudden” you explain. You see confusing in his eyes and he’s got wrinkles on his forehead , his face looks so serious and you know he’s thinking.
Justin takes your face in his hands when he says “I understand that you want to talk things through with your dad and if you need more time than I’m staying with you” he says smiling taking you in his arms and hugging you. “I left you once baby and that was the biggest mistake of my life”.
“but Justin what about your fans,your beliebers?” you ask feeling guilty he would give up his life to be with you, you know he loves to sing and perform and you don’t want to take that away from him just cause you’re not ready to leave yet.
“they don’t know I got my memory back so if you need more time to sort thing out with your dad we’ll just pretend I still have amnesia” he explains and assures you, “yeah I miss performing and I love it but I love you more, without you there wouldn’t be any fun when I’m performing” he continues.
Tears well up in your eyes when you hear those words, after all the time you spend together you’re still not used to hearing Justin say how much he loves you, he says the words you have been feeling for so long and knowing that he loves you just as much as you love him is still so unreal, some days you think you’ll going to wake up and all this would have been a dream.
“Justin I don’t want to ask something like that from you, I’ll just join you a few days later”
“no that’s not even an option, or I’m leaving with you or I’m not leaving at all” he states shaking his head in a determined way leaving no room for discussion.
“but….” You start and before you can finish that sentence he crashes his lips on yours making you shut up, “I don’t care if we leave later or not at all , all I want is you by my side” ha says out of breath after the kiss.
“okay I won’t say a word about it anymore but I still think you should go on without me” you say wanting to have the last word even though you know Justin isn’t going to change his mind.
“what did I just tell you missy?”
“okay okay I’m shutting up now” you say letting out a sigh indicating you surrender and won’t argue again.
“everything okay?” you hear Patties voice say, when you turn around you see her standing in the door watching you and you wonder how much she heard . “yes mom everything is fine” Justin assures her. “would you mind if we leave a few days later ? (y/n) wants to clear things with her dad before we go ?” Justin asks his mom giving you a loving smile and pulling you in close .
“of course I don’t mind, take as much time as you need sweetie”.
Pattie comes further in the living room and takes you in her arms “I know how important this is for you” she whispers in your ear so that Justin doesn’t hear it .
“but I’m not staying ,I’m leaving as planned and start sorting things out with the crew, you just come whenever you ready “ she says smiling to you and Justin.
“uhm mom you do know I’m staying with (y/n) right ?” Justin says thinking his mom believes that he’s coming with her.
“I know that Justin and I wouldn’t think otherwise” .
After you talked things through and said goodbye to Pattie, she leaves back to her hotel to pack, she wants to leave first thing in the morning seeing she has a long car ride ahead.
Your mom comes back in the living room after seeing Pattie out, she looks at you and Justin and you see she’s getting emotional. “mom what’s wrong ?” you ask concerned.
“you have grown up so fast sweetheart and I can’t believe you’re leaving in a few days” she says sobbing . you take her in your arms and reassure her “oh mom I’m not leaving yet, it all depends on what dad says” .
“don’t you worry about him, I’ll talk to him” your mom assures you, “no I want to talk to him, I don’t feel good about leaving when things between us are like this, he needs to understand that I’m old enough to make my own decisions” you say confident , you’re not going to let your father tell you what to do but you don’t want to go when you know he’s still mad at you .
“have you told him that I’m leaving ?” you ask your mom .
“yeah and I told him you want to talk to him before you go” , but you see in her eyes she’s not telling you everything . “and what did he say?” you encourage your mom . taking a deep breath she continues “ he needs some time to think about it, for now he doesn’t want to see you. I’m so sorry darling” your mom says comforting .
“don’t be, I knew he was going to react like this” you say nodding your head , you know you’re dad but it still hurts that he feels this way, why can’t he just be happy for you, if he keeps being stubborn like this he’ll lose another daughter just like his stubbornness chased away your sister.
“are you okay baby?” Justin asks worried when he sees the disappointed look on your face.
“yeah I’m fine, I hoped he would have changed his mind but deep down I knew he wouldn’t”.
“what are you going to do now?” your mom asks wanting to know your plans now that you’re dad probably isn’t going to talk to you. “I think I’ll give him a day or 2 and if he doesn’t want to talk then we’ll leave” you sound confident but inside you’re upset, you never had a good relationship with your dad but you don’t want to go this way, you don’t want to end up like your sister, secretly meeting your mom cause your dad can’t know, and you don’t want to put your mom in that position ,you want her to come and visit you but if your dad keeps being like this you know he isn’t gonna let her. Justin sees that your upset and puts his arm around your shoulder whispering only for you to hear “don’t worry baby, everything is going to be alright” and gives you a soft kiss on the top of your head. It’s remarkable how well Justin knows you because you basically met him a few weeks ago. Your mom doesn’t seem to notice you’re upset and your happy about that, you don’t want her to know , she’s already struggling with the fact that you’re leaving .
“yeah that sound like a good plan and I’ll talk to him again, I’ll try to convince him to talk to you or at least come and say goodbye”.
“thanks mom but you don’t need to do that, I want it to come from him and not cause he feels forced” you say talking her out of it.
“are you sure ?”
“yeah mom I’m positive”
“okay sweetheart then I won’t” she says smiling.
With everything settled the three of you go to the kitchen to have breakfast, after you and Justin help your mom with the dishes. Your mom and Justin are talking about what you’re going to do when you leave and when he’s expecting to go back on tour but you’re not really there, your mind keeps sidetracking to your dad, you don’t want to admit it but it affects you more than you thought that he doesn’t want to see you again.
“baby are you coming?” you hear Justin’s voice saying interrupting your train of thought.
“what, where are we going ? “ you ask startled
“upstairs, we’re gonna start packing” his voice sounds worried but he doesn’t say anything and you’re glad about that, you don’t want to talk about it anymore.
“oh okay I’m coming” you say absent putting a fake smile on your face , following Justin upstairs.
When you enter your room Justin takes your hand and sits on your bed taking you and pulling you on his lap, he wraps his arms around you and hugs you tight without saying a word, and that I just what you needed.
You both sit there in silence for a few minutes when you hear someone knocking on your door, you look up to see your mom open the door, “I hope I’m not interrupting” she carefully says, you shake your head letting her know she isn’t. “I have some good news , I just had a call from your father, he wants to see you tomorrow, but only you” she says smiling. You really didn’t expect him to want to talk so fast but you’re happy he changed his mind even if it is that he doesn’t want to see Justin.
“really?” you say both happy and surprised , your mom nods her head and you see she’s relieved.
There is still hope , all you need to do now is plan what you’re going to say to him to convince him to give Justin a chance. Suddenly a voice in your head says “what if his plan is to lock you in his hotel room and refuses to let you go as long as Justin is with you” but you immediately shake off that thought, he wouldn’t do that or would he ?
