A Thousand Days

Chapter 17

JUSTIN'S POV

__________________________________________________________________

I wanted to go up there and comfort her, but I knew better than that. I wish I could stop being "The Justin Bieber" for a while, maybe then things would be easier for everyone.

"Where's Audrey?" I saw kayla standing in the doorway with a ton of bags. I went to grab them from here. I set them down by the door in case Audrey came back down and wanted to leave.

"Umm...She's upstairs." I said.

"Is she alone?" She asked. Why would that matter.

"Yep." I said.

"She'll be up there for a while." She said sighing.

"What makes you think that?" I asked.

"She did the same thing when Mason died. She shut herself up in our room. She wouldn't even get out the bed at one point." She said looking around.

"You've got a nice place here." She said going towards the backyard.

"We've got to talk about all of this." Scooter said.

*A COUPLE HOURS LATER*

After a few hours we still didn't know how to handle the situation. We could either come out to the press and tell them the honest truth or completely ignore it. I refused to deny it, because I know eventually Audrey would be a huge part of my life and denying it now would be a mistake. Our decision would be decided by Audrey, since she was the one it would affect most. I would be off on tour and she would be the one left to deal with it. I paid the pizza man and handed one of the pizzas to Scooter and Kayla who were in a heated debate over some artist.

"Wait where are you going?" Kayla asked.

"Going upstairs." I said once I grabbed two bottle of water and soda from downstairs.

Knock. Knock. "Audrey open up." I said. The door didn't move at all. I stood there for a few seconds and the door opened to a teary eyed Audrey. She had on one of my t-shirts and sweatpants. She looked adorable. Her hair was all in a messy bun and she still looked amazing.

"I brought pizza." I said hoping to lighten the mood.

"Justin, I'm too tired to talk right now. I promise I'll talk later, but for now can we just eat and watch a movie or something.

"It's fine with me." I said. We started eating and we found let's be cops on netflix and relaxed. She leaned into me and I scooted closer. Right now her laughs were like music to my ears. I'm glad she's still able to laugh. The last few times stories have come about my the girls I'm interested in, it doesn't go well. After the movie was over, we both crawled under the covers. I wrapped my arms around her waist and she leaned in to my chest. We fell asleep praying that today was just a dream.
