⋆Justin's POV⋆
The annoying alarm clock went off.
I slapped my hand on the snooze button and got up.
I walked to the washroom, got ready... Blah, blah, blah.
I walked out to the living room... and everything was somewhere else.
"Where's my basketball?" I asked Lisa.
"Oh! I popped it."
"WHAT!? WHY!?"
"because I didn't have enough space for my shoes."
"YOU DONT JUST POP IT! MY COACH GAVE THAT TO ME WHEN WE WON CITY FINALS IN GRADE 8!"
"My bad"
"And, where's my phone!?"
"Over there" she pointed.
"Why?"
"Because I used it."
"WHY?! OH MY GOD CANT YOU RESPECT MY PROPERTY!"
"what's so private about your phone?"
"NOTHING, BUT WHY WOULD YOU TOUCH IT!?"
"Because... guess you have to live with this the rest of your life" she smirked.
"That's not funny."
"I'll be the one to replace your mom."
"My mom means everything to me and you mean nothing to me. You're not gonna replace my mom because you're such a slut! you are so messy! you are so careless! you don't think of others, how selfish! if my mom didn't have space for her 'shoes', she wouldn't throw away one of my things, she would make space! look over there! what is that? SPACE!"
"Excuse me! did you just call me a slut?"
"Yes. I. Did." I spat.
"That is no way to talk to your-"
"-my what?" I spat, turning around and leaving the house.
I seriously can't believe she popped my basketball, just so she can put her fucking shoes there! who the hell does that!?
And my phone! her nasty foundation got all over the damn screen!
Girls and their makeup.
She even wears this nasty perfume. It smells like old people in a forest.
I walked to school, clearly annoyed of what Lisa did.
I walked straight to my locker and grabbed my books. I slammed it hard and locked it back.
"Hey" Jasmine said out of no where.
I rolled my eyes.
"What?" I groaned.
"Sorry... Why so mad?"
"Stupid dad is getting engaged. She's a slutty bitch"
"I thought I was the 'slutty bitch'?" she laughed.
"Yeah... sorry about that."
"It's okay. Um... the science teacher told me to tell you that she wants to see your lab report signed..."
"Shit... I forgot to."
"Well um... you have to go tell her that."
"I will"
"Okay, see ya!"
"Bye"
I walked literally 3 steps, and Chaz stops me.
"Yes?" I said in annoyance.
"Um... the art teacher wants to see your assignment from last week."
"But art isn't till tomorrow!"
"She says your assignments are always late and she needs it on time for once."
"Tell her, I don't have it."
"Okay..."
"Hey!" Ryan said.
"What now?" I groaned.
"Huh?"
"Never mind."
"Okay... why are you in such a pissy mood?"
"Stupid dad is getting engaged with fucking Lisa."
"Lisa? he got a girlfriend already?"
"He's been cheating on mom for over 10 years."
"Damn"
"And since mom died, he purposed... and I hate her bitchy ass!"
"Why?"
"You know the basketball coach gave me in grade 8?"
"The one we won city finals with?"
"Yeah"
"What about it?"
"She popped it and threw it away."
"What the hell! why!?"
"Because 'she didn't have enough space for her shoes'."
"What the hell?"
"I fucking know right. Damn, I wanna throw all her damn shoes in the garbage, so I can 'put my basketball' there."
"You should"
"But that's the only basketball I own!"
"Right... right."
The bell rang.
I rushed into class.
⋆Ariana's POV⋆
"Aye... Justin's pissed" Karson said out of nowhere.
"Um... okay?"
"You don't care?"
"Why?"
"Because lately, it seems like you've been liking him again... you two are so on and off."
"We only broke up and got back together once."
"So... I know you like Justin"
"How?"
"Because you just said how"
"Wow... but I didn't even tell you before"
"Well... you seem to be more talkative to him."
"And your point is..."
"He's pissed, go talk to him. Make him happy. Make him smile."
"I'll do it after school or something."
"Okay... you are a person who likes to wait."
"Thanks"
"No problem!"

⋆Justin's POV⋆
Great! I need to walk home and see Lisa again. Damn, I never thought dad would ever like bitches? she had to bribe him or something.
When I was home, I opened the door and it was pure silence...
Pure silence? pure silence when there's 4 kids in the house? I don't think so.
I put my bag on the floor and step in seeing Lisa on the couch, staring at her phone.
I cleared my throat to get get attention.
"Where's Jazmyn, Jaxon, and Tyler?" I asked with attitude.
"School"
"School?"
"Yup"
"You're such an idiot!"
"Me!?"
"YES YOU!"
"Why?"
"YOU WERE SUPPOSE TO PICK THEM UP HALF AN HOUR AGO!" I yelled.
"What? that's dads job."
"ARE YOU STUPID!? THERES 3 MORE KIDS HE HAS TO TAKE CARE OF YOU KNOW! WHICH MEANS HE HAS TO WORK LONGER! BECAUSE OF YOUR LAZY ASS, HE ALWAYS HAS TO WORK LATE NOW!"
"ITS NOT MY FAULT HE DIDNT TELL ME!"
"TELL YOU? YOU HAVENT THOUGHT OF YOUR SON ONE BIT? YOU HAVENT WONDERED WHY ITS BEEN SO QUIET FOR SO LONG? YOU ARE THE MOST IDIOTIC, SELFISH, CAREL-"
The doorbell interrupted me.
I went straight to the door and opened it.
"What?" I spat in annoyance.
"Um... sorry. Is this a wrong time?" Ariana asked.
"Oh. Sorry." I said in a quiet tone.
"Who's that?" Lisa asked.
"SHUT UP!" I spat.
"If this is a wrong time, I can come back later..." Ariana said awkwardly.
"Um... no, it's okay."
I stepped out and closed the door behind me.
"So... what's up?" I asked.
"Um... I came here for one reason and um... I kinda have 2 things to say now..."
"Oh. Okay?"
"Um... I know this might be OUTTA nowhere, and you don't know how to respond just like that, but um... I-I uh... Still like you, and I was just wondering if you do too" she said, getting quieter and quieter.
"Um... that was kinda out of nowhere... um-"
"-I'm not trying to rush you or anything. Sorry for that stupid question."
"It's okay."
"Um... the second thing I wanted to say was... I heard about your mom yesterday, and I wanted to say, I'm sorry for your loss and if you ever need someone, I'll be there for you. I don't mind if you come while I'm busy or anything, if you need me, I'm there" she smiled.
Wow, first person to ever tell me that.
"Thanks" I smiled.
She put a loose strand of hair behind her ear, "no problem" she shyly smiled.
I went back into the house and Lisa was playing on he phone.
"GO PICK THEM UP!" I yelled.
"I DONT KNOW WHERE JAXON AND JAZMYN'S SCHOOL IS!"
"ITS RIGHT ACROSS FROM TYLER'S YOU STUPID!"
"BUT WHY CANT YOU!?"
"BECAUSE I CANT DRIVE"
"TAKE THE BUS!"
"NO YOU LAZY ASS!"
"EXCUSE ME!?"
I grabbed a pair of her shoes that looked pretty expensive... I went into the kitchen and came back out with a pair of scissors.
"You don't go pick them up, and I'll cut these into pieces" I threatened.
"OKAY! ILL GO! PUT MY SHOES DOWN!" she yelled.
Wow.
I threw them on the floor and she grabbed the keys and ran into the car.
Motherfucker.
I threw myself on the couch and stared straight up at the ceiling.
Mom was probably the most important woman in my life. I loved her so much and now, I'm soon to call that bitch Lisa, 'my mom'.
No one understands what I'm going through, except Ariana.
She was actually brave enough to walk to my house (and we haven't talked in forever) to tell me that she's there for me.
I guess she felt betrayed when her parents 'disappeared'. She understands me.
She's the only one who does.
Now that mom isn't here anymore, I guess you can say Ariana is the most important girl in my life.
Even though it took me this long to see it, I guess you don't realize things until karma hits.

⋆Ariana's POV⋆
I heard a knock on my door... Lucy's home early? She's not suppose to come home for another hour.
I opened the door and saw Justin, he stepped in and pulled me in for a kiss!
What the hell is he doing?
Without breaking the kiss, he lead me to the couch and laid me down.
He finally let go of the kiss and we were both breathing heavily.
"Hi" I smiled, "got your answer?"
He nodded, biting his lip. "I. Love. You." he smirked.
I guess true love can never be broken.
After those wonderful 3 words, I don't know what happened at all. It was like a blur after that.
All I know is,
I'm no longer a virgin.
