(1 week after Jen, Nolan, and Justin went to the movies)
My eyes stared across the room, meeting with Justin's eyes. He smiled innocently. I stared him down, but In a sexy kind of way. You know, in the movies. We were both siting down at a dinner booth. His being across the room, because of Nolan. Nolan invited us, well me, to his brothers wedding. I invited Justin. Of course.
Justin was dressed nicely. He wore an all black suit. Nolan, on the other hand, wore an all white suit. Both look good I'll have to admit.
While I was thinking, I dozed off into another world. I felt Justin's stare. It seems like he's getting loose with me and not so shy. I mean now he's actually looking at me without being so awkward. I quickly looked over to Justin to see if he was staring. He was staring. I got up from the table. Nolan furrowed his eyebrows.
"I'm going to the restroom." I said to him and he nodded. I slowly walked to the restroom. Right when I walked past Justin, he got up.
I was now at my destination. I turned around and saw Justin.
"You look gorgeous Jen" Justin smiled. Wow not to be mean but did Justin grow some balls over the week? I smiled.
"And you look handsome" I slightly whispered. I looked around. Then, I grabbed his hand.
"Come" I whispered. I'm not sure what I'm doing, But I've known Justin for a while now. He likes me, I like him. Why not? I opened the women's restroom slowly, to check if anyone was inside. I pulled Justin in slowly, but seductively. He looked like a lost puppy. I locked the Women's restroom. I eyed Justin.
"So, I've been feeling your stare on me for almost the whole night."
"Like I said, you look gorgeous."
"Is that why you've been staring?" I looked at Justin with a straight face.
"Well--"
I put my finger on his mouth.
"sh sh shh"
I looked at his lips. (This is the part the picture takes place) He looked so innocent.
I smirked and backed up. I pulled his tie.
"okay you can go now" I opened the door for him to go. He smirked then put his mouth close to my ear.
"See you later" He whispered then walked away. I smiled as he walked away. Where is this sudden confidence coming from? Hmm. I let the door shut and went to look in the mirror. I fixed myself up then walked out the restroom. While I was walking back to my booth, Justin caught my eye. I signaled with my head to go outside. He nodded.
"Hey Nolan I'm pretty beat Im gonna go home now If thats okay"
He looked at his watch.
"Aw okay. I'll ride you home"
"No thats okay, enjoy your time I'll have a ride" I smiled. I walked my way out the door to find Justin leaning against the wall. His foot tapped the ground.
"Hey"
"Hey" Justin seemed lost.
"Aren't you a little tired?"
"Just a little" His foot continued to tap.
"I guess were going to have to walk home"
"Yeah"
We weren't that far from our block, just about 10 or 15 minutes. We started our walk home in complete silence. I find it very funny that one second Justin seems confident and the other he's shy.
When we got to our street, Justin paused his steps. He just smiled as he stared at me. Sort of a sad-happy smile?
"I'll see you soon Jen" He walked away to his house. I walked towards my house also.
"See you soon Justin"
JUSTIN'S POV
My dad's car wasn't here yet, he must be working a late shift. Good. I opened the door. Different notes on the piano mixed together as it made an awful stop.
"Hello?"
No reply.
Fear instantly did it's job on me. I looked back to see if my dad's car was here. It wasn't. Blu's barks echoed through the house. I ran upstairs, so whoever is in here won't attack me. Once I got to my room, Blu greeted me with jumps and licks.
"Okay boy I missed you too" I laughed.
"I have to tell you a story" I smiled. I pointed for Blu to sit on my bed. I quickly changed into something comfortable.
"Today, This beautiful girl named Jennifer gave me some confidence, you could say. Oh Blu she's great. It's like when I hang out with her more my confidence goes up around her more. You've met her once, I believe."
Blu just stared at me. I laughed. I guess I kind of forgot about the piano playing that had just occurred. Remembering what had happened between Jennifer and I took my fear away.
I heard the front door open then shut. My dad's footsteps were loud against the stairs. I heard mumbling. As he got closer I caught a little bit of what he was saying.
"Unbelievable" His tone was deep and angry. My door few open.
"I have Blu's fucking shit on my boot"
How? He's been locked in my room all day.
He pulled me by my shirt.
"You better fucking clean my boot. Fucking waste of space."
He punched me hard in the stomach. My cries in pain were silent. I sucked it all up. He pulled of his boot and threw it at my face. The pain was horrible. I was holding myself from pulling it off and holding my face until he walked out of my room. When he walked out I quickly took the boot off, knowing there was poop on it. I rubbed my face to take the pain away. Thank god the poop did not touch my face. I hurried downstairs and washed the boot as fast as I could. When I was finished I left the boot outside of his room. I walked into my room and reached under my bed. I pulled out a small paper that was in my book. I stared at it. My eyes became watery. No tears fell out. I read the paper to myself.
Never change, Justin. Be the person I've taught you to be. Be the young man who will always be polite and respectful. Be slow to anger. Never take revenge. Revenge is not for you to take. You were always a good person. Never have I saw you make a rude comment. I love you.
Forever with you,
Mom.
I folded the piece of brownish paper up. I gently stuffed it back into the book. I pulled out the gold with diamond chain that was hiding under my shirt. I looked at it.
I won't, Ma.
I promise.
