Meant To Be

Chapter 25

First off, I wanted to say that I'm extremely sorry for the long wait. My account was hacked and temporarily locked for a few months. Now, I am happy to be back writing for my Wattpad baes! I hope you enjoy.

It was the day of Jussie's meet and greet with Yazz at Harold Washington Cultural Center. After netflix and chill, as we were getting up to head to the event, Jussie's phone rang. As he answered, he heard a concerned voice speaking a bit discrete as if the other recipient was hiding. "Hello?" Said Jussie, looking confused. "The event has been cancelled. A serial killer is on the loose at the cultural center, and no one has caught him yet." "Seriously?!?" "Very. Make sure to stay out of sight as things are still a bit hectic." "I will. Thanks for informing me about everything." "No problem. Goodbye!" As he put down the phone, I could see that Jussie was uneasy with what he had heard. "What's going on?" I asked, staring into his eyes. "The album signing is cancelled. A killer is on the loose!" "A killer?!?" "Yes. Everyone will be disappointed, and lives are in danger!" "Oh my gosh, I hope everyone is safe!" I start to panic a little bit, hoping that Jussie doesn't notice. "I was told to stay out of the public eye, but is it worth losing innocent lives hiding instead of helping?" "Don't leave, please, I can't have you out there in danger!" I caught myself before I began to go frantic with worry. "Do you really think that's the right thing to do?" "I don't know, but it can wait for just a little longer. Just don't go right now!" Although I tried to hide my concern, Jussie could tell that i was a bit uptight. "I'll stay here until I know more about the situation. Everything's going to be ok, so stop your worrying!" As he playfully nudged me, I smiled to ease the mood. Something told me that this day was going to be a long one, and very eventful. We ordered pizza, burgers, fries, milkshakes, and oreo creme pie for lunch. There's nothing better than junk food to ease the mood. As we waited, there was a long silence. I was sitting on the bed on Instagram scrolling through my explore as Jussie sat next to me pondering. He finally spoke, catching me off guard. "Would you mind going away with me for a little while?" I looked up and stared into his eyes. "What do you mean?" "I don't know, I just don't feel safe here with all this going on, and I'd like for you to come with me to get my mind off of things. "Where were you thinking of going?" "Not sure, maybe another city or another state, just somewhere that's not right in the middle of this chaos." "Of course I'd love to go with you!" "Really?" "Yes, but I think that we should make a plan over lunch just to be sure of what's to happen." "It's fine by me!" Jussie hugged me, and I indulged in his warmth and loving care as I hugged him back. I knew from then on that what we had was real.
