"Justin .." I muttered. Justin? Yes. It is Justin. He is here ... Almost as if his presence is normal to me now.

"What are you doi-" I was about to ask him when he grabbed me behind him and stood between me and Matthew.

"Mr. Whatever, I am asking you to quietly stop this as you know how critical the situation is. The people around are clearly uncomfortable with your unsightly actions. I won't recommend you to make any further disturbance and to follow my order of returning back to the hall" Justin said to Matthew. I couldn't see his expressions but Matt's had the worst expression I've ever seen by far.

"Ah right .. Please" Justin added at last.

"Matthew?" Mr. White said as he stood at the entrance. Matthew flinched and looked his direction. "Yes, sir!"

"Can you come over please?"

"Sir I-"

"Please. Matthew." Mr. White's voice became sharper and I saw Matthew running towards him at once.

Justin turned back to me and as he looked me in the eyes I felt like spilling all my tears. He patted on my head. "You okay?" he asked me smiling down at me. People were still looking my way and I wished I can just hide away from them.

"Embarrasing" I muttured. I looked away from Justin. I don't want him to see me crying. I don't want anyone to see me. "u-uh thanks. I am fine." I held back my tears and managed to say those words. I left him and continued walking so I can get to the main street and find a taxi or something. 

 I let my hair down as I walked away so I can cover my face. I can't hold it anymore. Justin followed me as I moved further from that place. Why doesn't he just go away? please just leave me for now. Don't look at me like that. Please. He held my hand to stop me then he turned me around to face him. I kept my head down not wanting to look at him. He put his hand on my shoulder pulling me closer.

"Please just go. I don't need your pity" I whispered. AS I put both of my hand on his chest preventing him from getting any closer. I can feel it. I am breaking at any point now. 

"pity? Cel, you are strong. no one can pity someone who managed to walk away from such a thing as calm as this. Yo-"

"Enough! My name is Celine. I'm not Cel for you. Please just go away." I won't let you see me crying. I won't cry. Please go. Why can't he see that I am struggling enough right now. Please just one more word and I will break. I pulled away from him and started to walk further away. 

It was harsh to say these words. I know, but I can't take it anymore I needed to push him away quickly. As I secured a fine distance between us, tears started to find its way down my cheeks. I started to pick up speed but I also started to tremble. My body felt weak. 

While running I tripped over a rock on the street, but I didn't even bother struggling to hold up myself. I feel so numb and really tired. I heard someone running towards me. He grabbed me by arm as I was falling and before I knew it I was in his arms.

"I don't want to let go. I don't want to go away." Justin whispered to me as he hugged me tightly. That was it. That was my limit. I broke down crying like a child. Crying, whining, sniffing and trembling. Holding him for dear life. 

We stayed like this for good ten minutes. He would hold me tighter as I cry harder. He started to bat on my head.

"I ... I ..." I stuttered

"You?" He asked softly still not letting go of me.

 "I messed up your shirt" I said as I pulled back. He looked down at me looking amused.
