Perfection Doesn't Exist (Under Editing)

Chapter 16

After dancing so much we decided to take a break. We both had lots of fun and I won most of the time but Justin thought otherwise.

We went to the screening room and I decided to let Justin pick out the movie. I got our pack of movies and let Justin look through it.

He handed me the movie and chose Grown Ups 2. Good to know he likes humor hence how he acts sometimes.

I put the movie in and brought the snacks and drinks from the game room. As the movie started, I grabbed a blanket to keep cozy since I felt like laying on the couch also grabbing my green sour punch straws. It's a MUST HAVE for me.

We were about 30 minutes into the movie and it was when Adam Sandler was picking up his buddies with the bus he took from the retarded guy. He showed them whenever he stopped the bus, the guy that was passed out would hit his head on the back door of the bus.

We both chuckled a little and I took a couple sips of my beer. As the time passed, we got to the part where Taylor Lautner got rammed over because Becky gave him the stuffed animal.

Justin started cracking up! Like he was dying of laughter. He got up and walked away while still laughing. He came back and wiped his eyes from tears of laughter.

I couldn't help but laugh too. It was pretty funny to see him choke and laugh like crazy. I focused back on the screen and Justin sat down again to keep watching.

The movie then finished and it was now 12:50 almost 1AM. Time flew by so fast. I could of sworn it was still 10. I got up and left Justin with my blanket we shared since he got a little cold too.

I gathered all the bowls and as I reached my hand over to grab some empty beer bottles, which wasn't a lot considering we didn't drink too much, Justin came and grabbed them away from me.

"Let me help. I feel bad making you clean up by yourself." He said while smiling at the end to comfort me.

"Yeah sure. Thanks Justin, really, for everything tonight. It's helped me get my mind off of some things. I needed this." I said while giving him a smile.

"It's really no problem for me at all Len. It's a great feeling to help someone, especially you. Knowing what you had to go through, you needed it." He came up to me and gave me a hug.

He really has helped me forget the bad. I've always had the need to pretended everything was perfect. But in reality, perfection doesn't exist. At least not in my world.

I bet Justin has it easier in his life. I mean he has a nice house, nice clothes, great friends surrounding him and he's a people's person. He even has great looks. What's not to like about his life?

My situations haven't been so lucky. Look at my past, it tells you everything. I just want to understand why things like that happen. Especially to me. What have I done to deserve any of it?

I guess thinking of all those things got to me because as Justin pulled away, his face expression changed. He seemed worried and I furrowed my eyebrows together.

I went to talk but before I could say anything, he reached his arm out and wiped my left cheek. Then he wiped my other cheek.

"There's no need for crying. As long as I'm here you don't need to cry. Smiling looks better on you." He wiped another tear and smiled.

I smiled back and said, "How did I get so lucky to have a friend like you?"

"I don't know. I guess you can say we were meant to meet. But I know one things for sure, you'd be miserable without me." He said with a smirk.
