Ch. 10

We walked into the event and saw tons of celebrities here. It felt kind of awkward being there, since I wasn't an A-lister. That didn't matter, I just wanted to have a good time.

"I'm gonna go talk to one of my friends here," Justin said. "You can do whatever you want, just meet me near the bathroom at 7:20."

"Why the bathroom?" I asked.

"Don't ask." He walked away towards this group of people.

I sat down at nearby couch and looked down at my feet, for about ten minutes.

I was about to pull out my phone when I noticed something.

Justin was with another girl.

I looked like he was a bit close to her, uncomfortably close. She looked like she was enjoying it, too.

I had to do something. So I walked up to him and said, "Umm, can I talk to you, alone?" I glared at the girl, then pulled Justin into a spot where no one could hear us.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"That girl, that's what's wrong! I saw you getting really close to her."

"She pulled me close to her, I had nothing to do with her!"

"Really? You want me to believe that?"

"I don't know! All I know is that I didn't mean for that to happen, baby." He caressed my cheek with his thumb—I slapped his hand away from me.

"Just leave me alone, I don't want to talk to you. Go ahead and stay with that other girl!" I walked away and headed straight to the bar. I seriously needed a drink.

I ordered a glass of red wine and sighed.

I needed to drink Justin away from my thoughts.
