you took it...i want it back!

Chapter 15- i dont hate him?

As I got to school I kept my head down. Justin's car was already in the parking lot but I didn't try look for him because then he would know I'd been crying.

I walked through the parking lot with my head down. I could feel everyone looking at me but at this point I didn't care.

I kept my head down as I walked through the hall ways almost walking into people but I still didn't care.

When I got to my locker Sophie and Sarah was at their lockers. Sophie put her arms around me for a hug and then left. I guess she knew I needed to talk to Sarah.

"What's wrong" Sarah asked moving my hair off my face to get a better look at me.

I didn't hate Justin. I didn't mean it when I said I hate him. It's was just a reaction. How could I hate him if I was starting to get feelings for him.

Not feelings like the rest of the schools female population like "let get drunk and see how it goes from there" type of feelings. More like love.

I froze at the taught. I didn't love Justin. I just liked him.

Since I moved in with him and the others I found he wasn't the cocky football player I used to think he was but a nice person that sings in the shower really loud and really badly.

"Come on" Sarah said pulling me into the girls bathroom and locking the door. We talked and talked until lunch came around. Sophie came to us bringing us food an water.

All in all it was a hole day of talking to my best friends. I told Sarah everything. She seemed a bit shocked that my mom put me in jail but laughed when I told her about my weird cell mate.

I only told Sophie bits and pieces like that I told Justin I hated him when I didn't mean it.

When the school day was over I went straight to work. When I got there,there was only a handful of people there. Mags wasn't behind the counter so I went straight to the kitchen.

I put on my apron and tied my hair up and began cleaning.

After about 2 hours of cleaning Mags came in and asked me to work the cash register for a while. I took my apron off and went over to start taking people's orders.

After taking order after order it was finally time to go home. "Could you take one last order before you go ?" Mags asked from behind the boxes she was unpacking.

"Sure" I said and went to take the last order.

I walked out of the parking lot and began walking home. I brought food for Jess in case she hadn't eaten yet.

When I was almost at the house Justin's car flew past me and into the garden. We were not going to be on speaking terms.

When I walked into the house I could hear Jess and James laughing up stairs,Aaron was sitting in the kitchen reading something and Justin was out the back on the phone.

"You okay?" Aaron asked.

"I'm fine,do you know if Jess has had anything to eat yet?"

"Yeah,James brought her out for dinner,did you guys have a fight?"he asked again.

"Sort of" I replied putting the food on the table which Aaron was now eyeing."want some?"

"Yep,you guys will sort it out,it couldn't have been that bad of a fight if you are still going on that trip to Vegas,besides you guys are perfect together"

Perfect together! We're not even together I was about to say but I just started to giggle.

"What?" He asked confused.

"Nothing". Aaron opened the bag and took out what he wanted in it. Justin came in and sat beside him and began eating my share of the food. I didn't mind though.

I walked up o my room. If I was going on a trip I'd need to pack a bag right?

When I got in my room my bag was already packed and sitting on my bed. There was a creak at the door and I turned to see Justin looking at me.

We stayed looking at each other for a few moments until be broke the silence.

"I don't want you to hate me"

"I don't-" I was cut of by Justin moving forward and putting one hand on my shoulder and the other on my cheek.

"I don't want you to hate me so if you come on the trip with me Jordan and Layla I will make it up to you and make you like me again" he said rubbing his thumb on my cheek.

"You didn't do anything to have to make up for" I said "I need to apologise I didn't mean that I hated you because I don't hate you"

"You don't need to lie to me Mia,I know you meant it but hopefully after this weekend you won't hate me anymore" he said with a slight smile on his face.

"Weekend,no I can't leave Jess for a hole weekend!" I said starting to panic.

"Don't worry, James insisted he will take care of her for the weekend." He said taking his hands back.

I felt cold without his touch. "Why does James like spending so much time with Jess but he hates me?" I asked.

Justin moved to sit on the bed and I followed him. I sat with a good distance between us.

"He thinks of Jess as his little sister who he can't see anymore and thinks of you as his mom,he hate"s her" he said looking at the floor.

"Why can't he see her?" I asked. "Everyone in this house has been kicked out of their homes or left because try didn't feel wanted" he said still looking at the floor with his face scrunched up as if he was thinking.

"Which one are you?" I asked,my voice coming out soft.

"That's another days story" he said getting off the bed and walking out of the room. I kept looking at the opened door.

Would he tell me his story some day? He does know some of mine since he is the one who stopped me from getting raped.

I got clean underwear and cloths and headed into the bathroom to shower. I probably wouldn't have time to shower in the morning. When I was finished I brushed my teeth,dried my hair and got into bed.

I couldn't stop thinking about what Justin said. He felt he had to make it up to me? When he did nothing wrong!

Something he said came back to me.

'If you come on the trip with me Jordan and Layla ill make it up to you'

Layla as in the school bully Layla was coming with us?
