He's Still The One

Chapter 32 - Overboard

Justin.

"I am Justin Bieber. Thank you for believing in me 'cause I believe in you."

And the show ended. Thank God. I was exhausted and super happy because I got to perform again and see my beliebers smile and cry because they are so proud of me. There's no greater feeling than this.

"Justin, meet and greet in 30 minutes. Go get ready." Scooter informed me. I hurriedly changed clothes and freshen up.

I went to the hall where the meet and greet is about to happen. I was greeted by a mass so girls, teenagers and kids screaming, anxious to meet me. A smile tugged on my lips as I sat down to start the meet and greet.

After taking pictures, talking and hugging to all my beliebers, it was my cue to leave. I was so tired but I wanted to meet them, I disregarded that and went on meeting them because it makes them happy.

Just as I was about to leave the hall, a little girl was running towards my direction. I was confused as to why she was in a hurry. When she reached me, she hugged me tight. I felt tears come down her face. I crouched down and looked at her.

"Hey, princess. Why are you crying?" As soon as she heard me, she pulled away, looked at me and smiled widely, you could see that her teeth are gone due to all the candy. I beamed back.

"I have a question."

"What is it?" I asked, confused.

"Do you have a princess?" I was unsure of what to answer to the question she asked.

"Yes, I do. My sister, Jazzy, she's just like you. So cute and pretty. She is my princess because my mom, will always be my queen." She creased her eyebrows at my answer, confusing me more.

"No, besides Jazzy. A princess? The one you love the most? You know, like Cinderella?"

"Yes, I do but she has another prince, sadly." I said whole heartedly. It was true. My princess really does have another prince that isn't me.

"Will you not fight for her like the one in fairytales? Do you not love her?" Why is she asking me these questions? I really am confused and at the same time amazed by her.

"I will, but what is there to fight for? I can see she's happy. I don't want to take away her happiness because I love her so much." I almost cried at the thought.

"She really means a lot to you that you are ready to risk your happiness for her own? You must love her so much. My mom says that is true love, putting others before you. But promise me one thing, Justin." I was deeply struck with what she told me. I really do love her. I just can't tell her because she's happy and I do not want to ruin it.

"Promise me, when you have her in your arms, don't let go of her because you can only find true love once. Your princess is now here, you found her. Keep her. And most of all, love her will all your heart." I hugged her and faintly cried at what she said because it was true. After a few minutes, she pulled away and wiped the tears in my eyes.

"Wait, you didn't tell me your name and how old are you? And why do you know these things?"

"I'm Hannah and I'm 8 years old. My mom tells me this due to all the fairytales I watch. She wants me to understand it." I laughed at her statement. Her mom is doing a good job raising her.

"Where is your mom, by yhe way?" She pointed to a woman, in her mid-20s, who was looking at us and was smiling. I held her hand and went to her mom.

"Justin, this is my mommy, Ashley." Her name is Ashley. She has the same name as my princess. I was in a state of shock for a while. She shook my hand and smiled at me and Hannah.

"Thank you for raising Hannah to be a good girl. She has been and always will be an angel." Hannah giggled at what I said. I raised my eyebrows at her and she just continued to giggle. She reminds me so much of Jazzy. I miss her.

"I wanted her to grow up to be a woman with value. I am doing my best to raise her right." After our little talk with Ashley, they went home because Hannah was already sleepy. I hugged her again and thanked her. She whispered to me, "I love you, Justin." and smiled. I bid goodbye and they were out of the hall.

I just got love advice from an 8 year old. What in the world is happening?

****

I thought about what Hannah said. Maybe I should really tell my princess what I really feel. We are civil to each other, yes, but it is still awkward for us after what happened at the hospital.

I was debating on whether or not to call her, knowing it was already 2 in the morning. But just then, my phone rang.

I looked at the caller ID and saw Ashley calling me. I guess fate works in mysterious ways.

"Hello? Ash? Why are you still awake?"

"Are you able to talk right now?" She sounded like she has been crying. Her voice is cracking.

"What's wrong?" She sobbed so hard. Then she told me what happened between her and Tyler. I wanted to punch the living hell out of Tyler but I am miles away. I wanted to wipe the tears off her face and make her smile again, but I couldn't. I wanted to let her cry on my shoulders and kiss her tears goodbye, but I couldn't. I wanted to sing her to sleep, but I couldn't. I wanted to tell her how I really feel, but I couldn't. Know why?

Because I am a coward. I am scared that she doesn't feel the same and she'll just shut me out. I am afraid of rejection.

But in love, we have to take risks, right?

I don't know with you guys but I am extremely proud of Justin for owning up to his mistakes and asking forgiveness for the wrong things he has done. Even the biggest haters gained his respect. I'll always love you, Justin. Me and the rest of the Beliebers will always be here for you no matter what :)
