Recovery (Justin Bieber)

Chapter 2

Note: Some of this chapter was written by Meagan, and some was written by me. The ideas and the plot was made by both her and I. Tony has made some input as well. It's fun. I'm really enjoying this. The lyrics that are written are written by Tony, and her tumblr is http://vayevsky.tumblr.com/.

Who does he think he is? If he thinks I'd ever be screaming his name, he's in for it. I look down at my purity ring, remembering the promise I made to God.

My mom is and always has been an avid church goer. Of course, Rebecca and I were always pushed to go to church. As children, we hated it, but now it's a weekly routine. I love church. I love my church in specifics. My mom always made Rebecca and I promise that we would only give ourselves up to the man we marry.

After Justin left, there was an awkward silence between Melissa and I. I tried to ignore it by taking out my song journal. Before I could open the page, I was cut off by Melissa, "Hey. I'm gonna go down to the courtyard. Wanna come?" Her smile was bright.

"Oh...no. Thank you. I'll catch up with you in a bit." 

She shrugs and walks out in a skip. I open up my journal to a blank page reading the lyrics I wrote out while I was on a plane.

You have such an internal light, 

but it doesn't reflect off your black clothes. 

They may look good on you, 

but a smile would too

The inspiration to the lyrics was when I walked in on Rebecca forcing herself to throw up after she barely ate. She has always been beautiful. We all noticed weight loss, but we just assumed it was because she was growing up and losing her weight. When I saw her leaning over the toilet, she instantly looked up at me with tears in her eyes. I couldn't help but cry next to her and hold her against me. It all made sense...in that moment. She would wear baggy clothes to hide what she was ashamed of. There was nothing wrong with her body. I've tried to fill her up with compliments everyday, but I can still sense her being unhappy. She eats healthier, and she looks better than she ever has, but my biggest fear was leaving her. I'm afraid of her not being able to hold herself together without me beside her.

I close my book to try and relax my mind. I noticed the sun shining through the window to see the Hollywood sign in a distance. I jump up to look out of the window, in amazement. I have dreamt of seeing this since I was a little girl. Practically a fetus. I look around at the view as I notice a familiar face sitting on a bench. His watch reflected off of the sun, and then I realize...

Justin.

Justin wasn't unattractive. He actually had a really nice look. He has a really sharp jawline, and his smile is really pretty. His eyes are a caramel color, which is really intoxicating when you make eye contact with him. He wore baggy pants below his waist line, and his snap back hides his hair. I scan his tattoos along his arms. I've always been interested in tattoos, but my mother is against them. I never had an option to get a tattoo. She'd kill me.

Justin looks up, as his eyes make his way to mine. A smirk spreads on his face after he bites his lip, shaking his head.

I instantly turn my head away from him. He really had the nerve. He is cocky and I'm disgusted. I look down at my journal to finish the lyrics I have written out for Rebecca, and my stomach disagreed.

It hit me that I haven't eaten since I was at home this morning. I walk over to the mini fridge that Melissa has had stocked up.

I examine the fridge.
