Chapter 8 Wanna go to the beach?

      Justin POV

      (Last night after he kissed her on the check)

      As soon as my lips left her delicate, small, fragile face, I ran down the stairs almost running into the wall were in make a sharp turn. Giving a quick wave the Millers, I heard the screen door slam behind me, my feet echoing off the porch floor boards and then my foot caught on the last step sending my sprawling out onto the cold wet sand. I sat up brushed myself off and i still had a silly almost drunken smile plaster across my face as I yelled to the world, well at least the empty beach of Stratford Islands,

      “I did it! I finally did it! I kissed her! “After waiting years thinking I would never see her beautiful face again I did it I Justin Bieber kissed, Jay Miller. My cry’s were only answered by the sounds of the waves crashing against the shore but in my mind it was the world applauding me, for having the guts to do what no man had done before. Well at least I don’t think anyone had done it before? My thoughts were interrupted by the cry of a lone seagull, “wow his momma’s probably worried sick about you little fellow.” I whispered to the seagull. Suddenly I slapped myself over the head. “Shite” I murmured my mom’s going to kill me when I get home, I began to run down the beach spraying sand up behind me as I ran, down the beach and around the corner to our house.

      Good. I thought the lights are all out maybe she went to bed. I tip toed up the stairs, carful to miss the board that I knew squeaked, I silently stuck my key into the lock, trying not to make a sound as I slowly entered the house. The door clicked behind me and I spun around, Ninja Style, “Shhhh” I mouthed to the door. When the little voice in my head, some people calls it a conscience, I call it Stupid.

‘Wow, Justin someone’s a little paranoid.’’ That stupid thing whispered.

“well I’m sorry, it just I’ve had the best day of my life and having mom catching me coming home at 2:30AM, three hours after my curfew, now SHHHH”  I whispered to the voice, luckily it agreed to shut up.

      Since I was now done arguing with myself, I began to silently creep down the hall and towards the stairs. As I began to place my foot on the stair I remembered it creaked and quickly drew back, skipping to the next step. So far so good, I thought to myself I was almost half there. When the lights flashed on, the sudden brightness caused me to lose balance, I found myself falling. I reached for the handrail, but missed I landed with a yelp, as I fell on my derriere. I looked up as my eyes ajested to the light to see a sight I would have been fine if my eyes never adjusted. My mom stood at the top of the stairs with her hands on her hips trying not to laught, and to be serious.

      “Hey, Mom, what are you doing up?” I said with I stiff smile, hoping she would smile or laugh and it’d be all okay.

      “I should ask you the same question.” She gave me the don’t mess with me look, I’ve been worried sick. “Justin do you have a watch on?”

      “Yah, why?”

      “What time is it?”

      “Ummm……… 2:50am.”

      “Okay so let’s get this straight, You have a watch, you know how to read it so . Then why are our you coming in FOUR hours LATE!!!

    “UMMMM”

   “Young mister, you better give me a very good reason as to why I should ground your sorry little but, to the beach house all summer and take away your phone. Now if you go and try and give me one little lie..” She yelled as she began to march down the stairs, I stood in shock, knowing full well you don’t mess with mama bear at 2:50 in the morning. We sat down at the kitchen counter and she poured us each a glass of milk. I took a quick sip before begin. I told her all about Jay, seeing her at the airport and not knowing her. And then seeing her when I went for a run this morning, and how when I realised how she was she ran away, and the hole dock thing, and her crying, what her mom did, taking her to her grandma’s and then coming home.  “Wow...” was all she said.

      “I’m I still in trouble?” I questioned weekly. She turned so she was facing me and I noticed she had a single tear coming down her face. “Awww, Don’t cry ma.” I said wiping it away, she looked at me and smiled

     “I’m alright, I just can’t imagine what that girl is going through, And just so you know you did the right thing and I’m proud of you, Now get to bed, It late.” She as she shooed me away. 

(Next morning)

      I woke up with a smile on my face, quickly grabbed me bathing suit from the bed post, and through it on, I had a plan, I was going to show Jay just what it felt like to truly be loved. I gave a quick wave to my mother who was eating outside as she soaked in the rays. I grabbed and apple from the counter and took off down the beach until I recognized the old beach house, plus the mail box kind of gave it away. I knock on the screen door softly I was afraid if I hit it to hard it would fall down,

“Come in” I heard a voice call from the inside; leaving my shoes at the front door on the porch I walked inside. Taking in all the sites as I went. Jay was sitting on the counter engulfing a plate of waffles, She turned so we were facing and I watched her acwordly swallow everything that was in her mouth, and her jaw dropped a little.

      “ Shut your mouth you’re going to catch fly’s, but p.s if you take a picture it will last longer.” I said with a grin. She blushed and turned away so we were no longer facing eached other. Her grandmother had now left the room leaving us alone. I walked up to her, and wraped my arms around her like we used to do when we were kids. The prense of my arms caused her to jump in supries, I laughed and turned her shoulders so we were now facing, our facing were now only inches apart, I felt her soft warm breath on my face. “Hey, my little blue Jay, Wanna go to the beach, with yours truly?” This caused her look laugh I could tell she was trying not to but could help it, I put on a sad face like her laughter hurt my feelings.

      “Oh I’m sorry Justin, it’s just your so funny. Yah I’ll come just let me go get changed, Wait here.”  I watched her get up and begin to ascend the stairs; I just couldn’t take my eyes off her.

Look away, she’s going to think you’re a perv.

  The stupid little voice said, only this time it’s advice wasn’t so stupid, I managed to draw my eyes away. And good thing I did because at that moment she turned around and called down “There are still some waffles on the fridge if you’re hungry.” That’s when I realized my stomach was growling, I turned away and began to walk to the stove. YUM waffles, my favourite. I said to myself.
