4:32 PM
"You're going to be great. I'll call everyday. I promise and then I'll see you on the set, maybe even before then." Justin told me as we walked out of the terminal. Now we were in Arizona, he was catching another plane back to LA.
"I hope before then." I hugged him tightly, taking in the smell of his cologne, the feeling of his arms.
"I love you. I'll see you soon ok? Call if you need anything."
"I will. I love you too."
"I snuck one of my shirts and a sweatshirt in your suitcase before you left."
"Good." I laughed and lifted my head up to kiss him. His grip tightened around me and after a few seconds he pulled away, tucking my hair behind my ear. "Call me when you land ok? I don't care what time it is."
"I will. Good luck tomorrow. I'll see you soon." His hands dropped from around me and I nodded, not really able to say anything.
"Bye Justin." I managed.
"Bye Laur. Love you."
"Love you too."
He gave me a weak smile and kissed my forehead before walking away with his mom and Kenny. He looked back once and I smiled reassuring him to keep going.
"Come on sweetie, let's go." I looked over at my mom who was giving me a small smile. She took my hand and I walked beside her, looking back hoping to see Justin, but the crowd had blocked off any view I hoped of having.
My throat tightened but I shook it off. I'll talk to him later.
"You guys are going to be fine." She told me.
"I know, I know."

6:42 PM
I walked into my hotel room and pulled my phone out of my bag. I wouldn't hear from Justin for a few hours.
I looked at my phones wallpaper smiling. Justin kissing me on the beach. The vacation was to quick.
I sighed and put my phone aside walking over to my suitcase. I opened it and sure enough Justin had put two shirts of his in there, along with the sweatshirt and our journal. I didn't even know he had written in it.
I sat it on the bed to read it later. I slung my purse back over my shoulder and headed to my mom's room. We were all heading out to dinner, I was finally back with my crew, and yet I still hadn't seen them, but now I needed to talk to my mom.
I knocked on the door and my mom opened it a second later.
"Hey, what's up?" She let me in her room and I shut the door behind me.
"I don't know, you tell me. We haven't really gotten to talk much."
"Nothing I guess. A few things." She shrugged.
"Marc one of those things?" I raised an eyebrow, remembering Wednesday night, or Thursday morning I should say.
She stopped walking for her suitcase and turned back to me.
"How did you know?"
"Mom, I'm a teenager- plus you're my mom. How could I not know?"
"So I guess Justin knows too..."
"He noticed before I even did. So do you guys like each other...or?"
"I guess so. I don't even know how it happened, it just did."
"Well that's good. I'm happy for you, I just wish you would have told me sooner!" I teased.
"Sorry, I would have. We've just been so busy, and you and Justin were so happy this week. I didn't know how you'd take it either."
"I love Marc. He is a good guy. It was a little weird at first, but it's fine."
She smiled at me.
"You're not mad?"
"Mad? No of course not. You can stop sneaking out now."
"What?!" Her face fell and she blushed.
"Teenagers in Hawaii Mom. Come on."
"You saw us?"
"Yup."
"What were you guys doing up at 1:30 in the morning?"
I hesitated.
"We were watching tv real late. Wasn't very tired." I lied.
"Right."
"Mom. I'm serious." I held up my hands in defense. Acting classes had helped so much.
"I believe you. I just can't believe you saw us."
"We had a perfect view of the beach. It wasn't that difficult." I shrugged.
"Well then..." She pursed her lips.
"Doesn't matter now."
"How are you?"
"Me? I'm alright." I shrugged again.
"You and Justin are good?"
"Mhm. Yeah, we are." I smiled.
"Great. I really like him for you. I really do. He's so sweet."
"Yeah." I sighed looking down at the ground.
"Hey- smile kiddo. I'm sure you're all that boy is thinking about right now."
"Think so?" I looked up hopeful.
"I know so. The way he looks at you sure is something." She shook her head. "Young love."
"Mom. I turn 18 in April."
"You're still young, both of you. And still trying to find yourselves."
"We'll be fine."
"I hope so."
"We will." I told myself more than her.
"You ready for dinner?" She headed over getting her purse.
"Mhm. Let's go, I'm starving."
***************************************
"Lexi!" I ran up to her at the restaurant and gave her a hug.
"How was Hawaii?"
"Amazing. Do you want to stay with me tonight? I have so much to tell you and I don't want to be alone."
"Sure. I don't have anything better to do."
"Yay." I turned to the booth and slid in. "Cameron, Sean, Brian, Tyler! Cierra! It's good to see you guys again."
"You too." Sean nudged my shoulder. "Did you have a nice vacation?"
"I did indeed." I smiled.
"Get any action from the Bieber kid?" He whispered.
"Shut up!" I punched his shoulder and covered my face blushing.
"Just thought I'd ask."
"Like I'd tell you."
"We're friends now right? - plus I like the guy." He shrugged. "He's not an ass like your last boyfriend."
"Taylor isn't an ass. He just doesn't know how to treat girls."
I paused thinking to myself. I can't believe I just said that.
"Obviously." He muttered.
I looked over at Tyler and Cierra. Them and their own flirtatious ways. I thought Justin got him to ask her out already....
"What is going on with them?" I whispered to Sean.
"You didn't know? He asked her out on Tuesday. Guess they had a good time."
"What really?! Why do I always get left out of these things?"
"You had your head stuck up in Cloud 9."
"Did not."
"Laur, come on. You've been up there for like five months now."
"We've actually been together for four months thanks."
"Well whatever, you were into each other before then."
"So?" I let out a small laugh.
"So you like him a lot more than you ever did Taylor...."
"Sean we have been over this. I don't like him."
"You love him- sorry." He held up his hands in defense.
"You should be. Get with the program."
"I am with the program."
"Speaking of Justin and Taylor, I need your help."
"Alright shot." He turned his full attention to me.
"I'm writing this song right now- I started it in Hawaii, but I need a little more help finishing the lyrics- and Justin can't help me, it's about him."
"Don't worry. I got your back. We can work on it tomorrow before the concert."
"Sweet. Thanks."
"No problem."
**********************************
I headed back into my hotel room with Lexi and heard Wherever You Are in the background.
Wait- Justin.
I found my phone and looked at Lexi. She smiled and nodded.
I answered the phone and sat down on my bed.
"Hey." I said.
"Hey baby. Did you make it to the hotel ok?"
"Mhm. We just got back from dinner. How was the flight?"
"It was ok. Boring without you, but I lived."
"Sorry. You know I would have come if I could have."
"I know, but your going to be great tomorrow. Written anymore of the song?"
"Nah, Sean is going to help me tomorrow with it. Hopefully I can have it finished for the next concert."
"That would be cool. I want to be the first to hear it when it's done."
"You will be, I promise."
"Did you read the journal yet?"
"No- I was saving it for tonight, but Lexi is staying in here so I might read it tomorrow."
"Oh I didn't no Lexi was there. Go be with her you haven't seen her all week."
"But Justin-"
"Laur, go on. I can talk to you tomorrow. I'm sure you have some catching up to do."
"Ok. I'll call you before the concert."
"Alright- I want to hear that song! I love you."
"I love you too. Night."
"Night."
I sat my phone beside me and smiled at Lexi.
"You didn't have to get off the phone with him. I was fine."
"He insisted. But it's fine. I have stuff to tell you."
"Alright, I want to hear everything."
"Well, the first day is a long story so to sum it up shortly, I didn't freak out about parasailing, but I was pretty nervous on the inside. He had me look at him the whole time, and I got to drive the jet skies which was pretty cool. Then that night I had another freaking dream about my dad again and it had to go and smudge my perfect day."
"Again? You're still having those?"
"Yeah. I think I might be for the rest of my life. Justin was really sweet about it though. He always is, I just feel like a bother."
"No he cares. Trust me, he cares." She reassured me.
"Why? Did he say something to you?"
"We talked about it once. You were rehearsing. He worries about you."
"He shouldn't. Like Tuesday night, I tried not to wake him up, but somehow he heard me walk outside and came after me."
"Lucky. I want a boyfriend like that."
"The only problem with mine is I see him for like a week, then either I'm gone again or he is."
"And when you are together you're inseparable. But tell me! Did he like swimming with the dolphins on Friday?"
"Yeah he did. Good idea by the way. He kept accusing Akamu of hitting on me."
She raised an eyebrow at me.
"That was a dolphin right?"
"Yes, it was a dolphin."
"Good. Did he do anything for you? I know he likes surprises."
"Yeah he sure does like surprises."
"So he did!? What?"
"He took me to this place up on the island where you could see the whole beach. He had a picnic set up and everything with my favorite stuff. Even got me roses, AND he played Wherever You Are for me."
"See, he's a keeper."
"I miss him already. I think I'm going to take those few days off I have in two weeks before I start rehearsing and filming for the movie to see him."
"Won't he be in South America?"
"Yup." I nodded.
"So are you going to fly out there to see him?"
"Hopefully. Give him a surprise of my own."
"Do it. You know how happy he would be to see you?"
I smiled.
"I'd leave right after my concert, so I'd probably fly there on zero hours of sleep but I don't care. I'd get to see him more."
"Yeah, do it." She paused looking at me. "I'm just realizing how tan you are."
"It's funny what the Hawaiian sun can do in a few days."
"So you're writing a new song?"
"Yeah, I was looking at my script because of the one part I talked to you about. Justin isn't thrilled and neither am I. He was in the shower and I started thinking, and I came up with some new stuff."
"Is that a new journal for your music?" She asked pointing to me and Justin's journal.
"No." I shook my head picking up the journal and holding it to my chest. "Justin and I write in here."
"To each other?"
"Mhm."
"That is so cute!"
"It was his idea. He always ends up writing more than I do."
"Well I'd ask to see it, but then again I don't want to know. Who knows what's in there."
"Oh my gosh, nothing even close to that. He isn't like that."
"Still. Probably talking all mushy gushy to each other."
"Oh so what? Leave me alone!" I laughed.
"And he has Thanksgiving later next month. Has he said anything?"
"No, but even if he did I don't know if I could go. Since I'll be filming."
How come I didn't even think of that?
"Right. Well he could always come to Fresno with you in November."
"Pshh." I laughed. "If he wants to be with my family."
"He'd go. You've met his family haven't you?"
"Well yeah, but my family? My family is actually coming to my house this year, and I think Mom is going to invite Savannah and Erikka. I want him to come, I just don't want everybody to start pummeling him with questions."
"I don't think he would mind. You could always spend time with him afterwards too."
"Yeah I could. So should I just bring it up tomorrow or?"
"I don't see why not. At least he would have time in advance to make sure he was in LA. Then Christmas isn't to far behind."
"I know! It's September and we are already thinking about Christmas. I'll have to get him a present, boy will that be tough."
"You could always call Ryan or Chaz for help."
"That's such a good idea! Why didn't I think of that?!"
"Because I have the brains."
"Please Lexi." I rolled my eyes. "You have your clothes right?"
"Yeah, they're in my bag."
"Good. I want to change. Then let's pop in a chic-flick or something."
"Sounds good. We haven't hung out outside of work for a while."
"I know, what's up with that?" I got up and found a white tank top and shorts, then grabbed Justin's sweatshirt.
"We've both been busy. But it's fine."
She walked over to her bag and pulled out her clothes.
"I talked to my mom about Marc today too."
"Really?!" She turned. "How did that go?"
"Pretty good. Oh my gosh I didn't tell you! Justin and I snuck out
of the hotel Wednesday night and went to the beach. Marc and my mom were there!"
I took off my shirt and threw on my blue v-neck.
"No way! How late are we talking?!"
"1:30 in the morning!"
"Oh my gosh! I knew it!"
"You should have seen them. And I thought me and Justin were together all the time."
"Wow. That's great for your mom though. It's about time. Are you ok?"
I shrugged.
"Fine. I like him. He's around all the time anyway. Like you said last week- he's practically already my dad. Scaring Justin and all."
"That's funny."
"Yeah, you're right it is." I pulled Justin's sweatshirt over my head, instantly able to smell his familiar scent.
"He gave you his stuff too?" She motioned to the sweatshirt.
"He has before. I like it. Reminds me of home."
"Home- that's in LA? And he doesn't live with you." She raised an eyebrow.
"No. Home is where the heart is."
