Swap it out ~Justin Bieber~

Chapter 43: Alive

Kennedy (Also now known as Ashley): 

"Ash, can you pick that up?" Justin asks, referring to his ringing phone. I raise my eyebrow at him, "Are you sure?" 

"Yeah, i don't care." He chuckles, continuing to strum the strings on his guitar. He sets down his guitar, writting a few notes in the grey notebook infront of him. I stare at the caller I.D.

Chris Jenards. It read. 

I knew Chris and Justin weren't on good terms so it was a bit confusing to see him calling Justin at one in the afternoon. I take a deep breath and hit the answer button, "Hello?" 

"Ashley? Is that you?" Chris' voice is heared. "Yeah, Justin is a little busy right now. You want me to give him a message?" 

"No, actually I was calling Justin to talk to you. I lost your number since we lost contact after our little affair." He whispered. 

Oh. 

That's what the problem was. I can't believe Ashley had an affair with Chris when she was dating Justin. I sigh, "What is it, Chris?" 

"This is awkward but I really need some help.." He pauses, "Can you do me a favour? I know Justin won't like this but I seriously don't know what to do." He sighs through the phone. I look back over at Justin who is stil busy creating music, he didn't seem to even paying attention. It was like he was in his own little world, creating music. 

"Sure just give me a minute," I whisper, leaving the large room. I walk upstairs until I reach my room, closing the door shut behind me. "What is it that you need?" 

"Well, my stepmom is finally moving in with us and-" 

"Wait, did your dad just get re-married?" 

"No, they've been married for a really long time and we lived in Beverly Hills but she travels a lot for her job. So when we moved she was in Thailand for something and she's never really home. I live with my half sister and my dad since she's never home. She called about week ago to say that she's coming back for good and my dad is on a buisness trip so I need to do something nice for her." 

"Why can't your sister help you?" I asked confused. "She's only eleven and she barely knows her own mom since shes's been gone for a good six to eight years for her job." I let out whistle, "Wow. What does your stepmom even do for a living?" 

"I don't even fucking know." He sighs. "So will you help me? I just need to get her girly things and shit like that for gifts. I also need to figure out what kind of meals she likes and that stuff." 

"Why are you asking me for help, Chris?" 

"Oh, Ashley, we've always been... close." I could practically hear the smirk in his tone and I almost gagged. "Don't. Just, stop. I'll see you tomorrow at five. Here's my number, write it down-" I say, giving him my number. "Justin doesn't need to know that i'm helping you." 

"Oh, sneaking around like old times huh?" Chris suggestively says, a sickening tone in his voice. "Shut it, Jenards." And with that I end the call.

"We have necklaces, rings, braclets, earrings, anklets," The sales lady spoke in a perky tone as she showed off the collections of expensive jeweluary. "Who is this for again?" The black haired woman asks. "My step mom," Chris mutters, scanning the glass that held the accessories. "Oh, I think i have something in the back she might like! One moment!" She rushed. 

"Do you know if your stepmom has a certain liking for anything?" I ask as we walk around the shop. "How should I fucking know? I barely remember the woman's face." Chris hisses. "Watch it, buddy." I snap. I'm not going to let him treat me like crap. If he needs help with something he has to be nice before I pop his head off. Chris has a big ego, anybody can tell that. I'm starting to wonder who has a biger ego; him or Justin?
