Does Love Exist? - Jariana

Chapter 18

Justin's P.O.V
Scooter had told me to take Ariana home, she was completely silent, she didn't look or talk to me once, she was just staring out of the window.
I placed my hand on Ariana's shoulder and she winced.
"I'm sorry Ariana" I turned and looked straight ahead.
"It's not your fault" she whispered. She looked down and fiddled with her watch and then she looked back up towards me.
"He was my ex boyfriend" she began a teardrop escaped the corner of her eye.
"Ariana you don't have to tell me if you're not ready yet"
"I want to tell you Justin, I trust you so much, your always there when I need you most"
She trusted me, those words made me so happy if only she knew how much I loved her, how she saved me from the worst moment of my life.
"I believed him each time he told me he loved me, we were happy during the first 3 months of our relationship until he started hanging around with the wrong kind of people he would come home drunk each night" Ariana breathed in deeply and then continued "He would come home and hit me" her voice cracked, my jaw clenched anger flustered through me how could anyone harm Ariana, she's the most humblest and down to earth person I've ever met.
"The other night, I had a nightmare of him Justin, I had a weird feeling I didn't ever expect him to enter my life again, so when I saw him in the crowd tonight I lost it all those horrible memories flashed through me and when he grabbed me I could feel all those scars he left on me once again but you saved me Justin, thankyou"
I parked the car up and turned to face her, I lifted my hands up and placed them on her cheek "You are one of the strongest people I have ever met, I don't know how a person could harm you, Ariana I am so mad right now I wish I fucking killed him how dare he harm you like that, I promise Ri that I will never let any harm befall upon you, you are special to me, you have held a place in my heart ever since I met you, I love you"
