One Less Lonely Girl

Back

It's been 4 months. I've got one more show this tour leg. Aubrey is still in a coma. No progress has been made with her.

"Justin, honey?" "Yeah, mom?" She came to my side, sat down next to me and placed a hand on my knee. "It's time to get ready." I sighed and rose to my feet. "Let's get this over with."

I was numb on the stage. I didn't want to be here. But what's the difference... I've felt this way ever since that day...

My songs seemed to run on and on but my beautiful fans keep me alive and a smile on my face.

One Less Lonely Girl was up. Since I couldn't have my girl here, I wanted the best woman up here. My mother.

She came up on stage teary eyed and that beautiful smile I loved so much. I serenaded her with the best of my abilities. Seeing her so happy, finally made me feel the same.

At the end of the song the fans went nuts! We had a standing ovation for the next 5 minutes. I stood on stage laughing and speechless. I was the happiest I had been in months. This family is unbreakable.

I finished the concert with the energy the crowd passed to me. All smiles. But finally I had a brake. Normally I would be going back to Canada, but I had to be somewhere else.

I laid in the plane, heavy eyed looking at Twitter. "Good job, Justin" "We're so proud of you!" "We love you!" "You're so sweet" These we're all the tweets that I saw. My beliebers always knew how to make me feel better. Needless to say I fell asleep that night with a smile.

When I woke up we were landing in Orlando. Of course the airport was insane, but what's new? I got a hotel for Fredo, Za, and myself.

We all unpacked and sat around for a bit.

"Alright, I'm getting antsy. Can we just go to the hospital now?!" I exclaimed. Za and Fredo agreed and we headed out in the rental.

Of course since it was daytime this time, the hospital was hectic. "JUSTIN!" I was chased until some doctors came to the rescue. "Thank you!" I was catching my breath.

"Our pleasure, now how can we help you?" "Mclawhorn, Aubrey? She's in a coma." "Oh right. Still 205. It's better that we keep the patients still." "Okay, thanks..."

The boys and I walked in silence to the room. When we arrived we stood behind the door not ready to face her again. I guess we all remembered how she had looked the last time.

Za finally grew some balls and opened the door. I pushed through, making myself the first to enter. I approached the bed. She hadn't changed or moved. Only that her face was more flushed.

My heart had dropped and I sighed not letting tears join. We closed our eyes and prayed over our girl.

Hours passed. We're just chilling in the room, keeping Aubrey's motionless body company. "Boys, visiting hours are over. But first I want a word with Mr. Bieber." I stood to my feet and followed the doctor out the door.

"Yes, doctor?" He sighed, "She's made no progress. It's been four months and nothing has given us a hint that she's going to be waking up. Right now we are paying for her, but we can't keep doing so for nothing-" "So! Let me pay it!" I interrupted.

"Son, we wish it was that easy. We can't put someone responsible without her consent unless you have relation with the patient. It's against the law..." "So, just take my money under the table! No one has to know." I was getting frustrated and the doctor shook his head.

"I'm sorry. We're pulling the plug..." "NO FUCK THAT! FUCK YOU! YOU DON'T HAVE THE GOD DAMN RIGHT!" "Son, calm down-" "SHUT UP!"

Beeping filled the hospital hallways along with flashing lights. "JUSTIN! SHE'S FLATLINED!"

A feeling of doom overcame my body. I ran back to her side and started shaking her body. I was soon pushed back by doctors.

 I squeezed through them and found Aubrey's hand.

"Aubrey! I'm sorry I hurt you. I'm sorry I said those things. I'm sorry I let you run out! You're an amazing girl and it's killing me to see you like this." I stopped when I saw the doctors back up with their heads down.

I looked in at them confused. "Justin... We lost her. It's too late."

"NO! AUBREY! You wake up right now. You've been gone for far too long! You're not leaving not like this! Not ever! Come back to me! I know you can hear me, Aubrey! PLEASE!"

Za placed a hand on my shoulder, "it's over, man..." Tears ran faster than my emotions. "Aubrey, please..." "Son..." I turned to the doctor. "Please, I can't leave her." "She's gone. There's nothing further we can do." "Just...just let me talk to her," I pleaded.

"I need you to leave the room so we can move the body." Rage ran through my body and I stood to my feet, facing the doctor. I let go of her dead hands and pushed the doctor.

"Don't you fucking dare talk to me like she's 'just another body'. She is everything to me. EVERYTHING! I have loved her since the first time I saw her. She is all I want and she is everything I need. I can't bare the thought of just having to forget about her. I'm- I'm in love with this girl! Fuck the fame and fuck everything else! All I need is her!"

At that moment everyone's face had a shocked expression. I-I love Aubrey. I don't know how but I do. Just at the moment all of our attention went to something else. The meters attached to my love began to beep again. Gasping filled the room, "what? It can't be!" Doctors exclaimed.

"WE ALL NEED YOU GUYS TO EXIT!" Fredo, Za and I were shoved out of the room forcing us to look at her through glass yet again.

"Justin, what's going on?" A familiar female voice asked behind us. We all turned to face Rachael. "I-I don't know." She wrapped her arms around my waist and granted me her shoulder.

"God, please don't take my baby."
