The Boy Next Door

Trouble

"Wake up Brooke. There's something you should see," I heard Justin say, shaking the sleepiness out my body.

"Ugh. Couldn't this have waited? We were up all night. Can I have one more hour to sleep? Please?" I groan in a sleepy voice. Never once opening my eyes.

"No it can not wait. Plus it's two o'clock in the afternoon lazy bones." 

I opened my eyes, widening them at his statement. No way I slept till two in the afternoon.

"Okay, what is it. What's so important that it can not wait?" I asked in a groggy voice.

"This," Justin replied simply, handing me his phone. There was an article on it, and I was dreading reading it, but I decided to read it anyways. Taking the phone out of his hands, I looked down at it to see what the article said.

Was it an accident? Was the head line. I furrowed my eyebrows and continued to read it.

This morning at approximately six-thirty, a building was burned down on the corner of Franklin and Hubbard. The owner's son of the building, Dylan Colbert, discovered the building was burned when he received a call early this morning. No one was injured in the fire, yet all the property of Colbert Cameras have been completely destroyed. Was this fire accidental, or was it someone after Mr. Colbert's successful and newly started camera company?

I widened my eyes before looking back to Justin. There was a smirk on his lips.

"Please don't tell me you had something to do with that Justin." I whined, handing Justin his phone and stepping out of bed. Justin didn't say anything, he just raised his hands in defense and walked over to the balcony door.

"Look, of course not. I was here with you all night silly. It's not like I would've waited till you went to sleep to sneak out and burn his company down and then sneak back in before you woke up."

"Justin?"

"I didn't do it Brooke. I promise. Although I wish I would have. Who ever did it is a genius," Justin chuckled.

I looked at him sternly.

"I'm gonna be back over here in around two hours, so make sure you're ready. I was thinking that maybe you and I could go out a do something."

I smiled big and walked close to Justin.

"Okay, I'll be ready."

"Good." Justin replied before bending down a little to plant a light kiss on my cheek.

"See you later Justin."

"See ya later Brooke," Justin said as he walked out of the balcony door.

I smiled at him then walked into the bathroom to get ready for the day.

"Did you see what happened to Colbert Cameras? It's awful." I asked, talking to my mom and dad. We were all in the living room watching mom's dumb soap operas.

"Oh yes sweetie, I saw it on the news earlier. That place just got built just a little bit ago right?" Mom questioned.

"Yeah, it's practically brand new. Who ever burned it down must have had a problem with him." I respond.

"I personally praise the person who did it. That asshole deserves worst. He's lucky I didn't ruin is ca-" Dad began, before realizing he had just ratted himself out.

"Dad! You burned down Colbert Cameras?"

Dad stayed quiet and just put his focus on the tv. As if he'd ever paid attention to soap operas
