Love Illusion

Chapter 4

Justin's POV:

I felt guilty for just leaving Melissa in her room, but I guess I had to. My mom was expecting me to come home right after school so I could watch Jaxon and Jazzy.

I guess I actually liked Melissa. I could tell she was falling for me. She didn't want me to leave, which made me even more bummed.

I finally arrived at my house opened the door.

"What took you so long?", pattie asked rushing to get her keys.

"I dropped my friend off. Sorry", I said as I was putting my back pack aside.

"It's fine. But I'm late now", she said as she opened the door and closed it.

I went upstairs seeing what Jazzy and Jaxon were doing. They fell asleep in Jaxons room playing with their toys. I smiled at the thought of how precious they were. I picked up Jaxon and carried him towards his bed trying my hardest not to wake him up. After he was rested on his bed I did the same to Jazzy.

I cleaned up their toys and went into my room to lay down and rest.

I figured I should text Melissa and tell her I was sorry for what happened. I didn't know if I should've mentioned us making out so I didn't.

Justin: "sorry that I pretty much ditched you. My mom needed me. :\"

I waited for a couple minutes and checked back at my text and noticed that she read it but never answered. Why did she always have to get pissed off at me?

Melissa's POV:

I still felt like an idiot. I didn't want to except Justin's apology. He would think we're "cool" and make another move. I like it and I didn't like it. It was complicated.

--THE NEXT DAY AT SCHOOL--

I made my way to my next period class. I heard Justin calling my name from behind me and I tried my best to ignore him. I started speed walking, but he caught me. I turned around and crossed my arms at him.

"Melissa, why didn't you answer me last night?", he questioned.

"Forget it", I answered.

"I'm sorry about what happened last--" he began but I cut him off.

"Justin, whatever. I was an idiot to even fall for you", I said starting to walk off.

"Melissa, c'mon give me another chance", he practically begged.

I turned around and looked at him.

"You don't know why I'm like this. You don't know why I'm not trying to be more than friends.", I told him.

"Tell me", he said.

I looked at him with a heartbroken look just thinking about Derek and my bestfriend Lindsay, well old bestfriend. I nodded and walked away basically telling him "Later".

--AFTER SCHOOL--

After Justin parked his car into the Park parking lot we started walking to the nearest bench.

I started looking down since he was staring me down again.

"Tell me", he said with a chuckle.

"Fine", I started.

I told him everything that happened between me and Derek and even about Lindsay. I was tearing up while I was talking to him about how he was cheating on me with my best friend and he held me close. I let him.

"Melissa", Justin started after I was finished telling him everything.

"I could never do that to you.", he said looking deep into my eyes.

"And I mean it", he added.

I looked back into his eyes. He was nothing like Derek. Derek would never say that to me. I felt like he was different. But he was still a guy, and guys lie.

"I don't know...", I said looking down again.

"I like you, Melissa... a lot", he said bending his head lower to look into his eyes. I smirked at thought of him liking me. I just didn't want to find myself liking him back. That would lead to me loving him, and then heartbreak.

"I promised myself, Justin", I said to him.

"Promised yourself what?", he asked.

"Id never fall in love again", I mumbled.

And with that he smushed his lips onto mine, keeping it against mine for what felt like 7 seconds and let go.

"I'm different", he said looking into my eyes again. His eyes were so attractive, as well as his smile and hair.

I blushed, and put on a straight face.

"I still don't know justin", I said.
