“Madeline!” I heard someone scream from behind me, I turned to see who it was and through the spaces in between peoples’ heads I could see Justin waving his arms trying to get my attention. I raced through the overly crowded airport, saying sorry’s and pardon me’s all the way through to my best friend. Justin and I have been best friends since we were 3 and he’s been gone so long on tour and being with the boys of One direction he hasn’t come home for longer than 3 days, but this time he’ll be home for a year to record his new album ‘Always Your’s’.
“Oh Justin!” I screamed being embraced in the biggest hug ever. Justin spun me around and gently made sure my feet were back on the ground.
“I missed you so much, I have a surprise for you later and I know you’ll love it.” He whispered in my ear. I could tell he was smiling by the way his breathe felt on my neck. He wrapped his arm around my shoulders and mine around his waist and we walked to my car. It felt so good to have my best friend back by my side and this time for a long time. We got in the car and he drove back to my house where he would be staying for a while.
“Justin what are you doing..?” I asked moving my hand away from his grasp.
“Sorry...” He said clearly disappointed in himself and I.
“Justin is there something wrong? anything upsetting you? If there is anything you need to ask me you know you can..” Stepping out of the car Justin looked upset and put his hands in his pockets. We made some popcorn and sat on the couch watching Toy Story and Justin started crying.
“Justin honey, whats wrong?” I said embracing him in a hug.
“Madeline. I just got through a really tough breakup. I broke up with her because I realized something.” He paused.
“What did you realize Justin...”
“Madeline, I like you, I really do no I love you, I have for a long time and I can only have you. My life is nothing with out you by my side. I can’t stand being that long without you.” He said sitting back up and holding both of my hands. I didn’t know what to say. I can’t believe Justin actually likes me, I just thought we were only friends forever nothing to ever be more.
“Justin, umm I don’t know what to say. I didn’t think we could ever be more than friends. Why don’t we just watch the movie for now and let me think for a while.” I said still confused at what just happened. We continued lying on the couch and I fell asleep on Justin’s lap. I wasn’t dreaming definitely not. I was thinking over what had happened today and what I should do about it. I honestly didn’t think he would ever like me especially love me, there was a short time when I liked him but that’s gone and has been for a while.
“Mad, wake up you gotta change the TV back because this music is driving me nuts!”
“I don’t wanna..” I said in the winiest voice I could trying not to laugh.
“Okay then, sit up for a sec so I can.” He said patting my side for me to get up. I opened my eyes long enough to tell that he had gotten up multiple times. When I fell asleep he was in his clothes he had wore today, and now he was in pj pants and shirtless and his hair was all messed up. He came to sit down and we pulled out the futon.
“I’ll sleep on the couch and you go to sleep in your room.” He said walking over to me and sitting down.
“I don’t wanna get up though.”
“Fine then i’ll just have to haul you to your room.” Justin picked me up bridal style and started laughing. I turned the door knob for him so he wouldn’t kick down my door.
“Wait! You’re going to kick down my freaking door Justin!” I screamed. I got down and gave him a hug goodnight and went in my room. The bed was so comfy compared to the couch. I fell asleep within a matter of minutes.
*dream*
“Madeline, will you make me the happiest man alive, and marry me?”
“Oh Justin! of course I will.” I said just before kissing him.
“Let’s go out to dinner tonight.” He said smiling intertwining his fingers with mine. We went to what seemed like the best restaurant ever. The food was just done enough to be the best i’ve ever had.
Bam! Screams of horror shouted through the building. I looked down and there was my lifeless fiance on the floor with a huge gaping hole in his forehead.
*dream over*
I screamed and Justin ran in worried.
“What the matter Madi! it’s okay please don’t cry.” He said embracing me in a hug and putting his chin and the top of my head. All I could do was sit there so happy that wasn’t real. That my best friend didn’t die, that nothing ever happened.
“I had a nightmare that we got engaged and we went to dinner and you got shot in the head and died in front of me, it was terrible.” I said almost crying into his chest.
“Aww it’s okay that will never happen.”
“How do you know you have haters and how do you know we wont get engaged someday.”
“Yes that’s true I do but you don’t even like me so I know at least part of it won’t happen.”
“Im gonna come out to the living room with you for a while.” I said waking to the door. I walked to the kitchen and opened the fridge. Nothing good. I couldn’t believe that dream. Why did it scare me, because my best friend died? Or because justin might be my future fiance?
“Justin I have a question?” I said walking in to the living room with two spoons and a tub of ice cream.
“Ask me anything Madi and I’ll answer.”
“Have you ever had a dream that you were scared not only because something bad happens but of something thats just weird.?”
“Ummm, i’m not sure. Why?”
“Oh umm, I was just wondering.” I said disappointed and kind of embarrassed.
“Madeline, I can read you like a book. What’s wrong you can tell me.”
“Fine. It’s that it scared me to think that maybe one day you could be my husband. I just always thought we would stay best friends nothing more, I don’t know I just can’t get my mind off of it.” I sighed. I closed my eyes for a second and Justin crashed his lips into mine. I opened my eyes and pushed him away.
“Justin!”
“Im sorry Madi. I just couldn’t hold it any longer. You probably don’t want me here anymore so I’ll call someone and find somewhere to go. I’m sorry.” He said rubbing the back of his neck.
“No Justin, don’t go it’s just that i’m talking about how I don’t want us to date and then you kiss me..I’m not mad I just don’t get why you did that.”
“I’m sorry Madi.”
“It’s okay honey you don’t have to keep saying it.” I said embracing him in a reassuring hug. I turned on the tv and laid on Justin.
