Flatline •{ON HOLD}•

Chapter 11

Justin's POV

I didn't realize Alex came down until her hands wrapped around my waist,her hands up crossed on my chest and her head lying on my back.

"You smell nice."she said and dug her face in closer.

"Not too bad yourself,princess." And I turned around, causing her face to hit my chest as I put my arms around her. She lifted her face up and we both smiled.

I leaned in for a kiss but she turned her head making me kiss her cheek. I softly laughed on her skin while her arms were around my neck, and she was giggling.

I took one of my hands off her waist and put it under her chin, making her lips meet mine.

"Mmm." I said. She just giggled and smiled, but we were still kissing. I put my hands back on her waist and we both pulled in closer. I led my hands down lower until they were over her thighs boosting her up so she can wrap her legs around my waist.

We were still kissing as I led us to the couch. She had one hand on my neck and one playing with my hair. I let out a sigh as I pulled away, and I put her on my lap as I sat in the couch.

I was playing with her hair as her hands were still wrapped around my neck and her head in the gap between my neck and shoulder.

"We should make a fort." I said silently.

"Mhm. Or....?"

"Or?" I said as she positioned herself closer to my body. I gulped. Does 'or' mean We can finally-

"You can make it." Man. I let out a soft chuckle.

"You're funny, princess. Haha, you're helping me."

"And if I don't?"

"I'll kick you out of my house."

"Where are your blankets Mr.Bieber?" She looked wide eyed at me and I couldn't help but laugh.

"Follow me." I said and lifted her up and took her in hand up stairs to the closet.

"Grab as many as you can."

"Yes sir!" She said playfully and I just shook my head and laughed.

We finally went downstairs and organized it the way we wanted.

"I hope this is comfortable, Justin." She said meeting my eyes.

"It will be now go grab your cupcakes." As she was leaving the room, I got a call from Ryan.

"Hey what's up ?"

"Dude, we have a meeting today in 2 hours. Did you forget?

"Fuck! Are you serious? Can't we reschedule? You know what, it's okay I'll be there. I'll have to bring Alex though."

"Alright that's cool man see you.

"Hey Alex? Uh, there's a meeting in two hours.... Can you come with me?"

"What kind of meeting is it?"

"Just a normal meeting. With the rest of the gang." I heard her gulp hard and I looked into her eyes and she looked scared. I took her into an embrace and said "don't be scared. I'll be right there. They won't hurt you. Besides, we're all friends."

"Thanks justin, but I don't have pants on,-" her cheeks were turning red.

"I'll go bring you some sweats okay?"

Alex's POV

As Justin was getting me some sweats, I was unwrapping the cupcake.
"I deserve this." I said as I looked at the cupcake.
I felt my phone vibrate and looked at it. It was an unknown number who texted me.

"Get ready. Watch yourself."

"Who is this?" It was marked as read but I didn't get a response. It's probably justin trying to scare me. I put my cupcake down and went up stairs laughing.

"Hey did you send me this?" I said which caused him to jump.

"Justin? Are you okay? W-why are you bleeding.?

"Alex, oh I um, dropped some glass it's-I'm okay. Don't come here, you might step on some. Go to my moms room and put on her sweats." He said desperately my eyes searching for his bit looking on the ground. There's no visible glass, but then again, I was 7 feet away from him.

If you dropped glass, your hand wouldn't be bleeding, right? I'll look at his hand later, right now I had a mission. Where the fuck are Pattie's sweats?

I finally found some and they surprisingly fit me well. I was looking at the pictures she had on her night stand and they were pictures of Justin. I picked one up, where he was kissing her on her forehead as she smiled. "Aww, how cute?" I let out. I smiled so wide I swear the corners of my lips touched my eyes.

"I was cute huh?" I heard Justin say, as I jumped back a little scared.

"Justin, oh my god."

"Haha, come one let's go."

"Okay, oh by the way did you send me this?" I handed him my phone but his smile fades instantly. His eyes rose with anger and fear.

"Who sent this?"

"I-i don't know, I thought you were trying to scare me."

"Alex, no, we need to find out who sent this."

"How Justin? Howwww?"

"Lucky for you my dear, I can also hack into things. But I'll do it as soon as we step foot through this door again." He said as her led me outside and locked the door.

"Justin?"

"Yes princess?" He said as we buckled our seat belts.

"Don't take this the wrong way but why'd you move here from Canada?"

"Oh, *cough* well, two years ago, I was in A LOT of trouble with the Feds back at home. I made a bomb and It set off at the wrong place at the wrong time. I was a wanted criminal and still am. Me and my mom decided to start over and we moved here. When she found out I was in a gang, and the leader of it, I saw *cough* in her eyes that a part of her died. She was sad for about three months before she semi-accepted it. It hurts a lot knowing that you killed half of your mom, or even made her sad. I went into a depression a little after I saw her sadden eyes. That's all it took to make me want to die, to hurt myself and feel the pain she's feeling. I couldn't find happiness, so I started doing drugs even more heavily. I thought drugs and killing people were the only way to be relaxed, but then I finally met you."

I took a hold of his hand tightly and kissed it.

"Justin, is that why, why you were bleeding? Di-did you cut yourself not so long ago?" I looked up and met his eyes, a tear rolling down my cheek. He whipped it away softly and sighed.

"I'm sorry Alex. I haven't done it in 2 weeks and I-i just, I had to."

"Justin, please don't. Please don't hurt yourself."

"It's not that easy!" He shouted but not letting go of my hand. We were in some parking lot at that time.

"I can help you! You can trust me, I can help you!"

"Alex, stop. I'm trying. It's easier because of you, that I have you but I have temptations." His eyes looked away from mine and looked sad.

"Justin, I can help you, believe me." I said as I placed my hand on his cheek and used my thumb to rub against it. He weakly smiled & we kissed.

"Please, please just try." I said as I pulled away and kissed his cheek where my hand was.

"Oh, by the way, you were so cute when you were 17."
