Chapter 22
Recap:
"@tinastevenson is it true you are really dating Justin Bieber? Why aren't you on tour with him?"
"is it true that @tinastevenson and @justinbieber broke up?"
That tweet caught my eye, and I noticed the girl had attached a picture to the tweet. I clicked on it and clapped my hand to my mouth and gasped when I saw what was in the picture..
**Justin's POV (point of view)**
I stared at my phone, trying to figure out what to say
I hadn't talked to Tina since the day I left and I felt terrible, but there was a reason.
There was something I needed to talk to her about and she wasn't going to like it.
NO I didn't cheat on her if that's what you were thinking, but it might eventually be just as bad.
My publicist wanted me to pretend to date Selena Gomez. Basically he said it was because Selena has a really good reputation and a good image. Never any huge scandals or anything. Tina on the other hand is a bit more rebellious. Everyone knows she drinks occasionally and my publicist wants me to improve my image.
The reason I hadn't talked to Tina is because I was scared of what she would think. (not to mention the fact that I was busy every second of the day)
I have been trying to work up the courage to message her and tell her.
My publicist said I wouldn't have to break up with Tina, but I couldn't be seen being romantic with her or touching her or anything in public, and I would have to be hanging out with Selena a whole lot more.
I was finally about to press the call button and let Tina know, when a text message interrupted me. From Tina...
"hey, wanna tell me what the hell this is? Is this why you haven't talked to me?"
There was a picture attached so I clicked on it and rolled my eyes. It was one of those damn photoshopped pictures of me kissing Jasmine Villegas. I freaking hate Photoshop.
I sent Tina a text back saying
"it was a photoshopped picture Tina, you know I would never cheat on you. There is something I wanted to talk to you about though. Can you call me?"
**Tina's POV**
I felt my phone vibrate and saw a reply from Justin. I sighed in relief when he said the picture of him kissing Jasmine was photoshopped, but I didn't know if I should believe it until I examined the picture a little closer. Yep, clearly photoshopped.
I decided I should probably call him. I considered just ignoring him just like he ignored me, but I felt like I really needed to talk to him.
"hello?"
"hey Justin, it's Tina."
I mumbled. I wasn't ready to forgive him just yet.
"hey Tina! I'm so glad you called me because I really wanted to explain..."
"why haven't you texted me or... Anything since you've been gone?"
I instantly blurted out.
"Tina I'm so sorry about that but I have just been so busy and... There's something I need to tell you and I'm not sure how to say it exactly... But before I do just know that I would never break up with you or cheat on you or anything and I have missed you like crazy this entire time."
I didn't say anything, just waited anxiously for him to say what he needed to say.
He breathed out and said it all in one breath.
