Maria's POV

I woke up at around 1am, due to the fact I went to sleep at 3am and also due to the fact that the best thing happened to me yesterday, speaking of that I checked my phone to see if anything was there. He texted me.

Justin: Good morning princess (:

Me: Good morning (:

Justin: Good afternoon to you!

Me: I'm sorry I was tired!

Justin: Its fine, did you check twitter?

Me: No why?

Justin: Go check (:

I did so and went to twitter, I had 14 notifications what the hell. Then I saw the tweet that Justin made, he's so sweet and cute, the tweet got 10 retweets and 2 faves, ok. I decided to tweet something as well, I really don't tweet, I just favorite Justin's pictures.

Can officially say this crazy boy is my boyfriend (: @yaboyj

"Hey, want some eggs?". She scared the shit out of me. "No thanks mom". "What are you all smiley for?". "Well, remember that guy?". "Austin?". "Justin mom". "Oh yea?". "You know mom, you're going to have to know my boyfriends name". She broke out in the biggest smile and gasp. "Congrats sweetie, you got yourself a man?". "Mom really?". "Okay okay, so when am I going to meet this boy?". My face broke out in nervousness. "Um, I don't know, maybe.... never?". "Well I'm afraid I have to". "I really have to?". "Yes, I mean you could've been like a regular teenager and not have told me". "But mom you're going to embarrass me, how do I know if you wont bring out the tutu?!". "That tutu was pretty! and you got it done in that thing girl". "No I didn't, I was 5 and I thought I wanted to be Cinderella". I said while laughing and she joined. "Its too early for you to meet him anyway, give it like 1 month, that's if we last, I hope we do". "Okay, and I'm sure you guys would be fine". She got up and headed out the room. My face went curious and deep into thought. "Hey mom". "Yes?". I paused before I said it. "How did you know dad was the, you know, the one". She stopped and sighed and sat down next to me. "I guess you can say it was love at first sight, me and your dad was married for 15 years, and I haven't regretted a single year, minute, second, hour, or day". "Have you moved on yet?". "I wouldn't call it moving on, I would say I have accepted that he's gone" I started to get teary eyed, like really teary eyed. "I haven't". She reached over and hugged me and rocked me to calm me down. "Its okay, its okay, you will one day. Your father loved you, he wanted you to be the happiest". "I know". The memories of him picking me up and throwing me on the bed flooded into my head, or when he took me out for ice-cream everyday after school, or when he took me to his job to help him out, I didn't really do much but I was there, in his presence, with him. "I miss him so much". "I miss him too, we all miss him". I let go of her and then smiled, "I love you mom". "I love you too sweetie". She patted my lap then left.

Justin's POV

I was just about to go watch a movie then Maria texted me.

Maria: Come over

Me: Okay I'm on my way

I grabbed my jacket then headed out the door. "Going out real quick mom!", then I shut the door. I was at her house in literally 10 seconds because I couldn't wait to see her, I was about to knock on the door but then I heard her voice. "Up here". I looked up at the roof and she was sitting there, how did she get up there? "How did you get up there?". "There's a ladder on the side". "Oh", then I climbed up. "Why are you on the roof at 9pm?". "You never sat on the roof at night? it helps you think". "No I haven't, because my dumb ass would probably fall to my death". I laughed and she joined. "Well then". "What are you thinking about?". "I don't know, everything. How the world was made, how deep is the ocean, is a tomato really a fruit". I laughed, "Well I can tell you that a tomato isn't a fruit". "Justin how was your dad?". I looked at her puzzled. "I'm sorry I didn't me-". "No its okay, its just that no one has really asked me that". "Oh". "Well he was amazing, he was a great cook, amazing artist, he loved nature and camping, he was a great man, he was at every single one of my games cheering me on, he was there forever, he's never left, him and my mom never argued, its almost as if their marriage was perfect. One day when I was 7, he came in my room and asked me what I wanted to be, I said, "Superman". He said, "Well you know what Justin, you're going to be the best god damn super man there is, don't let anyone ever tell you you're not". I started to cry and she came over to me and hugged me, she hugged me so hard, I wanted to stay in this moment forever. "He seemed great Justin, he really did". I smiled, "He was". Then I wiped my tears because I was looking like a big pussy. "So you wanna talk about how I got this shark bite?". I jokingly said and she laughed. "Sure". "Well he came at me with his big teeth and he just". I stopped and attacked her. "Justin stop!". "And he went in for the biggest kiss". Then I kissed her, I put all my emotion into it, I wanted her to know how I felt, in one kiss. She smiled and so did I. "Its getting late and we have school tomorrow". "Yea you're right, goodnight babygirl" ."Goodnight shark slayer". I laughed then climbed off the roof and headed back home.
