Just Friends - Book Two in the As Love As You Love Me Series

chapter twelve

12.

Vince’s POV;

“So, you didn’t pick me?” I asked, looking down at my menu. The diner was empty and it was just us and the waitresses. I felt like the whole world had just fell on my shoulders and I was fucking alone. I wanted to cry, I wanted to cry so hard right now. “I don’t understand Dylan, I don’t know what I did…”

“It’s not you Vince, it really is me. I just can’t…be what you want. I’m really sorry.”

I swallowed hard, “You want Justin…” I looked up at her.

She nodded slowly, “And I’m sorry I had to do this to you. I really am. I should’ve been a lot more considerate of your feelings.”

I sat back and exhaled, “Well, it hurt…but I’ll get over it. What matters is that you’re happy and if you’re happy I am too.”

She smiled and got up from the booth. “Thank you Vince.” She kissed my cheek softly, before running out the door to her car. It wasn’t until I watched her car turn the corner that I felt my heart completely break and the tears come. I beat the table with my fists and laid my head down. I hated myself for letting her get away.

But there was no need in keeping her around.

Justin’s POV;

I decided I was going to take the long way home, that way I could listen to the sad slow tune of Green Day. I was just making it out of the field when I saw headlights pull up. I felt my chest swell and a smirk pull at my lips when I saw who was sitting in the car. I turned off the ignition and hopped out the car putting my keys in my pocket. “Camilla, what brings you here at this time of night?” I said, as she was getting out the car.

“Oh, I just thought that maybe I should come out here and think…when I saw Dylan and Vince at the diner I thought you might need a shoulder to cry on.”

Oh, so she did choose Vince. “Nah, didn’t even sweat it. I knew who she was going to choose.”

I watched her walk closer to me, and place her hands on my chest. Camilla got on her tip-toes and whispered in my ear, “Well I would’ve chose you.”

I smiled and placed my hands on her hips. “You got damn good taste.”

Dylan’s POV;

I pulled into Sunrise Fields of hopes of seeing Justin still sitting there. I know I was asking for too much but I didn’t care. When I saw his truck a smile placed itself on my face. I turned off my car and jogged over to see it empty. I walked a little further and saw a white BMW parked with steamy windows. I walked over and knocked on the window and when it rolled down I fought back tears. “I’m sorry.” Was all I could manage before I started to run away.

“Wait, Dylan!” I heard Justin shout behind me, pulling up his pants. “Dylan, let me explain.”

I turned around, “There is nothing to explain Justin, you don’t have to explain a thing.” I opened up my car door and got in, locking my doors.

Justin tried the handle. “Dylan, open he door come on.”

“Leave me alone.” I yelled, starting my car.

“Dylan, please.”

I rolled down my window, “I said leave me alone.” Before I could stop him, or roll my window back up, Justin stuck his hand inside and unlocked the door, yanking it open. He grabbed my keys out the ignition and put them in his pocket. “Give me my keys back.”

“Not until you hear me out.”

“There is nothing for you to explain or to say. Go back to doing whatever it was you were doing with Camilla.”

“Yeah, Justin come on. Leave her alone.” Camilla said from her car.

“Look, just get in your car and go home!” Justin snapped, turning to Camilla. She looked like she was going to say something but instead she just pursed her lips and started her car, driving off. “Finally.”

“Give me my car keys back Justin.” I said in a clipped tone.

“No, I just…I’m sorry.”

“No you’re not.”

“I am, I thought you chose Vince. Camilla said that she saw the both of you at the diner and I was angry. I was really angry that you chose him and not me.”

I let my guard down a little but then pulled it back up, “You didn’t bother to ask…what did you call her or something?”

“No, she found me here. I waited for as long as I could until I took the hint…but I guess you didn’t choose him, did you?”

“No.” I sighed. He moved closer to me and I hooked my fingers in his jeans. His lips were about to press to mine when I grabbed his keys out his pocket and sprinted for his truck. I slammed the door closed once I got in and locked the door, starting her up. I cracked the window just a little bit and said, “But now, after what I just saw I didn’t choose you either mother fucker.”

Justin’s POV;

I watched her speed off in my truck, and turn down the road. I let out a string of profanities as I got inside her mini cooper. I felt like such a girl. I didn’t even know where she was going, and where the hell did she learn how to drive like that? I growled as I turned on her ignition and her twilight soundtrack started playing. I turned the radio off completely and took a moment to meditate. “Lets find a way to fix this Justin. You just had sex with some girl you don’t even like, and the girl you’re in love with, caught you.” I paused. “You can do two things. Either you move on and find someone else. Or, you can just keep on begging until she gives you a chance.”

I rolled my eyes at myself as I backed out of the field. Who was I kidding?

I always get what I want. 

[A/N]

This story is coming to a close and I hate to say that I am NOT making a third book. It would just be too much. But I am starting a new series, and the first book to that is Just My Luck! So please, show it some love. Bentley, is "played" by Justin Bieber, because c'mon it's fun. Also, be on the look out for another series I will be writing. The first book to that will be called, Changing Mr. Player. And the leads for that story are Barbra Palvin and Taylor Lautner, because I've always wanted to write a Taylor story and Barbara is just so hot I just :( Oh, and you might even get a little spin off story of Vince finding love...who knows? But anyways, it would be also nice if you guys don't just pay attention to my Justin Bieber stories because it kind of takes away from me as an author. My Justin Bieber stories aren't just all I'm about, to be quite honest. But whatever. I love you and thank you for showing the As Long As You Love Me series support!
