Chapter 27
Recap:
Right now it seemed like the whole world was against me, except Kaley and Justin (who I hadn’t talked to since that night after the interview). I knew it must not be completely true, but I just wished I could figure out some way to make Justin’s fans not hate me. I’m guessing yelling at them wouldn’t work, because now that group of girls was probably going to go on Twitter and Facebook and just talk about how much of a bitch I am.
I didn’t see what I could do though. I could go preach about it on some social networking site, but I guess no matter what you do there will always be some people that just don’t like you. After all, it’s impossible to please everyone.
I decided it was about time to try and fall asleep, so I turned off my lamp and cuddled under the covers, closing my eyes and waiting for sleep to come to me.
**one week later**
I opened up my laptop and logged on to Skype. Justin just texted me saying that he wanted to talk to me. I wasn’t sure if there was something specific that he wanted to tell me or if he just wanted to talk to me, but either way I was happy. I hadn’t talked to him for a week, and I knew that this is his job and I should understand when he can’t talk because he was too busy or too tired, but I couldn’t help but be frustrated. The Twitter hate was getting a bit better, but that was probably because I wasn’t tweeting lately, afraid they would go on full attack mode if I did.
When I logged into Skype I looked at my contacts list and saw that Justin wasn’t online yet, so I went on Facebook while I waited. I had a secret Facebook account with a fake name so I could use Facebook like a normal teenager and have all my friends on there, but I wouldn’t be bombarded with random friend requests.
I just scrolled through my news feed for a few minutes and then finally the little pop up appeared telling me that Justin just came online. I eagerly clicked the video call button and, as usual, made sure I looked nothing less than perfect. He finally came on the screen and the first thing I noticed were the dark circles underneath his puppy dog like brown eyes. Again, he looked like he hadn’t slept in weeks and I felt a stab of sympathy for the busy boy.
“Hey baby, how are you?”
He asked me sweetly, smiling at me like the favourite part of his day was seeing my face. That’s another thing I loved about Justin, he always made me feel like the most beautiful person on earth.
“I’m alright. How was your day?”
“It was alright. I was missing you all day. Like, more than usual.”
“I was missing you too, as usual. I didn’t really do much today. Me and Kaley just kind of watched TV all day because Kaley said she isn’t feeling good. Come to think of it, I haven’t been feeling too good today either. I think we are both coming down with something.”
“Aw baby I wish I could be there to make you feel better.”
He said with a suggestive wink. I giggled.
“Yeah I wish you could be here too, how much longer until you come back again?”
“Two and a half months.”
I cringed. That long? How was I supposed to wait that long?
“I’m sorry Tina. You know I don’t have a choice right? I would be letting so many fans down.”
“Yeah don’t worry Justin I understand. You love your fans.”
He smiled at me, seeming pleased that I wasn’t too upset.
