Love Illusion

Chapter 5

Justin's POV:

It was hard to just sit there and pour out my feelings and get practically rejected.

"Oh", I said scratching the side of my face with my pointer finger. I do that when I'm either nervous or sad a lot.

"I just don't want to suffer. I feel like a guy like you would make me do that", she spoke. I gave her a confused look.

"Like how your charming and cute.. and girls.. well you already get the point", she explained looking down. It was cute when she did that.

"That's not true", I tried to explain.

She then looked at her phone , and looked back at me.

"I needa go. It's getting late", she said as she was getting up from the park bench. I didn't care. The conversation was getting awkward anyways. She didn't want to tell me what she was really thinking. "Alright. See ya", I said.

She started walking towards her house. I just realized how much I regret saying I liked her. I was just hoping she would say say it back. I regret letting her know, but I still like her in general. What's not to like?

Melissa's POV:

--THE NEXT DAY--

It was Friday. Thank God. Justin texted me last night and offered if he could take me to school today so I said "yes". He was being sweet about me not "liking" him that way. He wasn't that kind of person to hold a grudge.

After I finished myself with some deodorant and perfume I went downstairs to eat and wait for Justin. Justin arrived about 2 minutes after I was finished eating.

I opened the door and gave Justin a wave, and said "Hey" with a large smile across my face.

He returned the smile and we started of to his car.

"So, Melissa", he said when we first got into the car.

"Yea?", I asked.

"Well Chaz is hosting this party tomorrow.. and I was wondering if you want to go. Not like a date or anything", he said scratching the side of his head with his pointer finger.

"I don't know", I said. I didn't like high school parties that much. They were too wild.

"C'mon Melissa. It'll be fun", she said grinning.

"Fine", I said with a sigh.

He smiled and started up the car.

--END OF THE DAY--

The day went by super quick, after all it's Friday and everyone was proud of that. I walked home ignoring the need to ask Justin for a ride. I just wanted to be alone. I knew I was falling for Justin. Not in love. I just hated that. I didn't want to. But it was hard not to. Curse the sexiness of Justin Bieber, damnit.

I finally arrived home and saw mya step mom watching some TV on the couch. Did i mention that my Mom and Dad passed away, and now the only person I have is her. "Hello", i said as I walked into the house. It never felt right to call her my "Mom".

She waved at me, still watching TV. Why do I even bother trying to be nice to her? She would probably have already set me up for adoption but she promised my Dad she would take care if me. Id rather leave.

I ran upstairs into my room, threw my bag aside and layed down on my bed. I was a bored 17 year old, and needed to hang out with my friends. I decided I should call up my closest friend Jen so we could talk and hang out. I called her and she agreed to come. She came minutes later and I led her into my room.

"Sooo...", she said smirking.

"What", I said playfully pushing her.

"Justin and you, duh", she answered.

"You really wanna know?", I said putting emphasis on my "really".

She replied "yes" and I began telling her everything between us. How he's always making moves on me, how he likes me, and how he always asks if I want a ride.

"Oooooo", she said smirking.

"I know", I kinda like him as well", I said looking down.

I told her about the party he's inviting me tomorrow. I invited her to join me.

We spent the rest of the day joking around, playing on our phones, and watching scary movies. I was beginning to the think she was my new best friend.
