Flatline •{ON HOLD}•

Chapter 4

Justin's POV
What just happened? Did she really kiss me? My heart melted completely yet it was pounding so fast. I finally arrived home and went straight to bed. Thinking about her. Of course I was thinking about her, I couldn't stop! That all stopped when I got a phone call from that asshole, Drake Bell.

"What do you want now?" I said annoyed. "Calm down calm down. I called because we have unsettled business. We both have to 'take care' of our gangs, right? Well,-" I cut him off as quickly as I can. "Look, it's late. This so call business can wait and so can you. I said we'll meet up by next week so get your shit together by then." And I angrily hung up.

That brought me back to thinking about how I would explain to Alex that Im in a gang. I'm THE most dangerous one in Tennessee. I'm dangerous. How would she react? Would she trust me then?

It was the following morning and I called Alex. I was excited as fuck.

'Hey, you ready? I'll pick you up in 15 minutes'

'Yeah, I'm ready! Haha, um, where are we gonna go?'

'That doesn't matter, sweetheart. Just know we'll get to know each other and be closer.'

It was silent but it wasn't it awkward. She needed to take that in and trust me.

'Okay well hurry Justin, before I change my mind.' She giggled. Oh my god her giggle!

'Is that sass i hear?'

'Just hurry up!'

Alex's POV
'Okay okay, don't worry! I'll see you in a bit.' And our phone call ended.
I was still worried about what happened yesterday. It was weird because I don't really know him. How can I be like that to someone I don't really know? It didn't bother me though. I kinda like that I have a 'connection' with Justin.

I ran downstairs to the sound of a door bell and knew it was Justin. I couldn't really tell if my dad likes him. I knew he respected him but I just for the life of me couldn't figure out if he liked him.

I let Justin in and put my shoes on, then my parents came into the living room where we were.

'Hello again Justin. What are you doing here?' Are you serious dad please leave him alone. PLEASE.
Justin didn't seem nervous at all and went over to hug my mom and shake my dad's hand.

'I just wanted to take Alexandria out for some breakfast. Is that okay with you two?'

'Of course you can honey!' My mom was always like that. She could see through people and she saw good in Justin. I knew she liked him already.
When my mom said that my dad just nodded and pulled him to the side. Justin was calm and both of them exchanged chuckles.

'Okay you two, go have some fun. But not too much fun!' My dad said jokingly. We laughed but I knew my face had turned a light red of embarrassment.

I was locking the door and followed behind justin to his car, when he stopped and turned to me. Did I do something?

'I just wanted to make sure you were still coming.'

'Of course! I can't wait until I get to know you justin.' We reached his car and as I was about to open then passenger door, he ran over and opened it for me. "Thanks." I said and I knew the color returned back on my cheeks.

'Okay, so, I'm Justin Bieber. My favorite color is blue. I live with my mom just 20 minutes from here. I'm from Canada. I love pancakes and bacon. I like playing soccer, trust and believe I'm good. Haha, I like hockey,basketball...."

He was telling me all this stuff and I was so excited. He was telling me about him. It was all simple stuff but it was interesting. I watched him tentatively and he looked at me and talked from time to time. I saw happiness in his eyes, and it warmed me up.

"Do you have any siblings?" I asked as he was done talking.

"Yeah, a little sister and brother. They give me so much joy when I'm with them. They just mean so much to me.. . . Do you have any"

'No, I'm an only child, but I would've had a younger sister but my mom got into and accident and that cause her to-"

'I'm sorry, it's okay'

I looked at him but I wasn't sad. I knew it was okay. " don't worry about it Justin." And he placed his hand on top of mine with his thumb rubbing my skin. That made my heart pound and created a small smile on my face.

"We're here! I hope you like pancakes and bacon." And we couldn't help but laugh. He got out his car so fast and opens my door.

"Dude, you don't have to do that, I can open doors you know.'

"I know, I just want to do it." 'For you.' He said that in a whisper but I still heard it and a slight pink color rested on my cheeks.

"Hahaha, you did what!?" I was nearly out of breath when Justin was telling me a story.

"I let wasn't my fault! Haha, that door wasn't supposed to be there!"
I was watching him as he kept talking but I wasn't exactly paying attention. I was looking at his features and how each one was perfect. He was watching me too and I couldn't help but ask what he was looking at.

"You're just so pretty you know? How could I not stare at you." I stared at him and shyly smiled and looked down at my hands. "Thank you Justin. That means a lot."

'Now come one, I wanna take you somewhere else.' And he got up and took my hand. His big warm hand wrapped around my little one sending a rush sensation through my body. This guy is really special and I knew I couldn't et him go. "Where are we going?"

'Remember what I asked you the first time I asked you if we could hang out and I said-'

"Horse back riding?!" I playfully shouted that. Just saying. "Justin no you don't have to. "

'No come on, it'll be fun! I'll be right there next to you. I promise." I ended up agreeing and we drove over there still talking and laughing and bonding. We got there and got introduced to some very kind people there.

I was assigned to a boy instructor since it was my first time. I know, ironic right? I've lived in Tennessee forever and I still haven't risen a horse. The guy was really nice to me and the horse. He told me a joke and it was pretty funny but when I looked up I saw Justin looking at us but his eyes were filled with envy.

I shook it off and asked the guy, Ivan, if I could talk to justin for a little and he looked a little upset with that. He decided that I could and I went over to justin.

"I thought you said you'll be right next to me?" I said that playfully, but I thought he was gonna argue with me because I still saw envy in his eyes. Instead, he smiled and got off his horse standing right I front of me and hugged me tightly.

"A promise is a promise isn't it?" He said that with a voice of so much care. I simply shook my head and we walked over to my horse hand in hand. Ivan looked at us still with an upset expression but left because he 'had to feed the other horses.'

Justin helped me up and held onto the horse guiding it to certain places. Justin was telling me a story of the first time he rode a horse and it made me feel safe.
As we were going a little bit faster I told Justin to let go of the horse because I told him I could do it by myself.

He backed away at a safe distance but he was still close enough that I felt he was right with me. The horse went faster than I thought causing me to panic and before I knew it I saw Justin and Ivan running towards me, only to realize I had fallen.

"Alex are you okay!?"
