Case 101

She's Mine

JUSTIN

"And you just walked out?" Ryan repeats for the fifth time, in disbelief. "No Ryan, that's why I'm standing here talking to you." I spit out, the sarcasm emphasizing my every word. "You're an idiot." Chaz comments, shaking his head. 

"What?" I exclaim. My blood was already boiling and they were just adding on. "Dude, who knows she can be in trouble right now!" Ryan tells me. He smacks my head hard. "WHAT THE HELL?" I shout, jumping up, curling my fists into balls. 

"You need a wake up call Bieber." Chaz snorts and walks outside with Ryan. Tears brim in my eyes as I sit down. I grab my remote control and jab the button. The melody of Justin Timberlake's Mirrors floats in. The lyrics start to settle in, as I stare outside the window.

Aren't you somethin' to admire?

Cause your shine is somethin' like a mirror

And I can't help but notice

You reflect in this heart of mine

If you ever feel alone and

The glare makes me hard to find

Just know that I'm always

Parallel on the other side

Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul

I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go

Just put your hand on the glass

I'll be tryin' to pull you through

You just gotta be strong

'Cause I don't wanna lose you now

I'm lookin' right at the other half of me

The vacancy that sat in my heart

Is a space that now you hold

Show me how to fight for now

And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy

Comin' back into you once I figured it out

You were right here all along

It's like you're my mirror

My mirror staring back at me

I couldn't get any bigger

With anyone else beside of me

And now it's clear as this promise

That we're making

Two reflections into one

Cause it's like you're my mirror

My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me

Aren't you somethin', an original

Cause it doesn't seem merely assembled

And I can't help but stare, cause

I see truth somewhere in your eyes

I can't ever change without you

You reflect me, I love that about you

And if I could, I

Would look at us all the time

Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
