Nothing Like Us (Justin Bieber Fan Fiction)

Chapter 17: The Letter

My eyes fluttered open to where I only saw a ceiling. I forgot where I was for a minute, then I turned my head to see Justin. His arms wrapped around mine tightly.

I tried to sit up, and I turned to see my alarm clock that read "4:21 PM". I was shocked that it was so late. I slowly removed Justin's arms and got out of bed. My legs were sore from not moving for a while, Justin's hold was quite tight. But I never said I didn't like it.

I tip-toed downstairs trying to avoid that one section of the bottom stair that always creeks.

The floor was cold with bare feet but I made my way to the fridge. I grabbed the carton of milk and didn't bother to get a cup, I just drank it.

After I put the milk away I shut the door. Suddenly, I heard the door knob open. My heart started beating faster and I couldn't move. I'm pretty sure my mom is at the grocery store, but for some reason I have a feeling that isn't my mom.

I slowly made my way to the door, making sure not to make a sound. I could barely breath but I tried to grab the door knob. I didn't hesitate, the door opened very fast and nobody was there!

But a note.

My breath slowed down but got heavier once I opened the letter.

Dear Miranda,

You don't have much time. Your father was really something different. There's a secret and that's why you moved here. But I found you.

Good luck -S

My hands couldn't stop shaking. What the hell is this?! And what does my mom know that I don't?!

"What's that?" A voice filled the air. I turned around quickly to see Justin behind me. The note was behind my back, and I quickly shoved it in my bottoms.

"Oh, uhh... Some mail." I tried to come up with a lie on the spot.

"Oh, okay. Did I snore?" Justin chuckled, turning around to get some water in the fridge.

"No." I honestly didn't want to talk to anyone right now. Because I'm so confused and scared.

I walked down the hall to the bathroom to get my head cleared.

I shut the door violently and locked it. I sat in the shower and started crying. I started to take my clothes off and turn on the water. My eyes were stinging but I felt like a shower could help and make me feel better about this situation. Whenever I'm sad I always shower for a long period of time in the shower. Just because the hot water soothes me. And nobody can talk to me.

I got out of the shower and got a towel out of the drawer. My hair was all the way to my butt so I put it in a messy bun.

When I opened the door I went up to my bedroom. Justin was on my bed.

"I kinda cleaned your room for you, because I messed it up from earlier." Justin put the last pillow from the floor onto my bed in order.

"Aw, thanks." I went over to him and hugged him. Something about this, makes me feel uncomfortable. I don't want to get too close to him because I feel like I will get my heart broken.

I just feel like I have too much on my plate, to worry about.

After our hug, Justin removed the one piece of hair that fell out of my ponytail, and stared into my eyes once again. He was leaning in to kiss me. For some reason I didn't want to kiss him because I don't want to get too attached to him. But I liked his kisses so much that I gave in. His lips are so soft and kissable.

"Your lips are so kissable, I like girls with kissable lips." Justin said in between our kiss.

I smiled at that, and went to back to our kiss. Justin put his hand on my leg and lifted me up. I didn't care what he was doing because I didn't want to let go. But then a few minutes later I realized he had me under him on the bed.

I pushed him away, realizing what he wanted to do.

"What's wrong?" Justin asked.

"I'm sorry but I can't do this, I need some space." I pushed Justin away so I could get off the bed.

"What, what do you-"

"I don't want to get too close to you! I don't know what I want anymore. I don't know who I am anymore!" I shouted, tears in my eyes.

Justin came over and wiped my tears away, but I removed his hand. After that, I could see hurt in Justin's eyes.

"What did I do? Miranda why do you keep doing this to me?"

"Because I know what people are like; they just break your heart." I opened the bedroom door and made my way out of the house. I don't know where I was going, but I knew I didn't want to be here.

I kept running and running until I made it to the park. I sat next to a big oak tree and sobbed.

Why is my life so fucked up?! There's a boy that I don't know if I love or not that could just be another player, and some retarded man after me.

Soon enough Justin came running into the park. He looked around until he found me sobbing into the tree trunk, he came over breathing heavily from chasing me down the street.

"I. Have. To. Tell. You. Something." Justin trying to make his words come out but it looked like it was hard. He didn't have to chase me down the street but he did. He could of walked back to his house and not talk to me again. That would make me feel empty, but it would make less stress for me.

"What?" I turned around from the tree.

"I would never leave you because I love you. I've never felt this way about anyone else. Through all your complicated outbursts, and running away, or telling me to stay away, makes me want you more."
