Chapter 15
RECAP:
When I got home me and Kaley walked in the door, talking about the latest episode of Jersey Shore. We were so absorbed in the conversation it took me a while to notice Justin.
"oh!"
I exclaimed when I finally noticed Justin sitting there, holding a single red rose.
"hey Tina!"
He said with a huge smile
"I'm gonna leave you two alone"
Kaley said with a suggestive smirk as she made her way up the spiral staircase.
"so Tina, I've been thinking about what happened yesterday, and I think we need to talk"
**
"well, what did you wanna talk about?"
I asked nervously.
Justin breathed in deeply and gestured for me to sit next to him.
I hesitantly plopped myself down on the couch and Justin handed me the rose, smiling.
I smiled back and thanked him, then waited for his explanation.
"so I was thinking about what happened yesterday, and there is something I've been meaning to tell you. Wow that sounded really cliche..."
I laughed.
"so basically, I think we have a real connection Tina. I really... Like you and... I was wondering if you wanted to... Be my girlfriend?"
I froze. Did I want to be his girlfriend? Was it right to move on so fast from Taylor? Was I ready to trust another guy again?
"I- um... I don't really know Justin. I mean, my boyfriend just cheated on me and-"
"no it's okay, I understand."
Justin's face fell and the hopeful smile was wiped off his face.
"I'm really sorry, but I need to move on from this first. For the record, I really like you too Justin."
Justin nodded
"so, we can be friends then?"
I smiled.
"yeah, friends."
With that I gave him a big hug and felt him sigh into my shoulder. As usual I felt a tingle through my whole body when I hugged Justin. That spark.
The thing is, the second I said no, all I felt was burning regret.

I woke up about two hours later, and apparently I had fallen asleep on Justin's lap, watching Freedom Writers.
"so I guess you changed your mind about dating me then?"
Justin joked, gesturing to my head which was dangerously close to his crotch.
I flushed bright red and jerked my head up from his lap.
"I'm sorry, was I like, snoring?"
"yeah, you sounded like a woodchipper you were snoring so loud"
I blushed again.
"are you serious? I don't snore!"
I said defensively.
"I'm joking, calm down!"
Justin said laughing.
I harrumphed and got up to get myself some ice cream.
I turned around to ask Justin if he wanted any, and of course I slipped on a random sheet of paper on the floor and fell on my ass.
I looked over to see Justin's reaction and saw that instead of laughing hysterically like Taylor and Brooke would have, he was running over to help me up. Omg how much more perfect could this boy get?
"are you okay Tina?"
"I will probably have a bruised buttocks, but other than that I'm fine."
"you sure are clumsy aren't you?"
"yeah, unfortunately no matter where I go I manage to find something to trip over."
Justin chuckled and grabbed both my hands, lifting me up off the floor effortlessly. I didn't fail to notice his toned arms, flexing as he pulled my entire weight off the floor. Whoa...
"and by the way, some ice cream would be great."
Justin said with a smirk.
I giggled
"coming right up biebs!"
I asked Rosalinda for two bowls of chocolate ice cream with whipped cream, and then went back to sit on the couch.
**a couple weeks later**
Today was the day. The day I would find out if I was pregnant or not.
I held my breath as I walked into the drugstore, keeping an eye out for paparazzi.
I had Justin by my side as we found the correct aisle, and kept looking around nervously as I found the box I was looking for. A pregnancy test.
I also grabbed a magazine to hide the test behind as I made my way to the counter to pay.
Justin rubbed my back soothingly as I set the two things on the counter.
The cashier looked at me judgingly as he scanned the items (or maybe I was just being paranoid) and as soon as he was done putting them in a bag, I grabbed it and speed walked out of that place.
The ride home was very quiet. I was too nervous to have casual conversation.
I finally got home and went up to my room. As soon as I was just about to enter the bathroom, Justin grabbed my arm lightly and got right up close to me to murmur in my ear:
"no matter what happens Tina, if you're pregnant or not, we will get through it. I will always be here for you."
I smiled lightly at his kind words and walked into the bathroom, shutting and locking the door behind me.

So this chapter is shorter than usual because I wanted to have a big cliffhanger. I apologize. Anyways let me know in the comments: do you think she's actually pregnant? You won't find out until probably tomorrow so keep updating ;) thanks for reading! And sorry it's short :/
Btw I have absolutely no idea how long you have to wait to take a pregnancy test, so bear with me haha <3
