BitterSweet Love (A Justin Bieber Fan Fiction)

Eight: So Close

A/N: I'm oh so very sorry for not updating, it's been a bit of a hectic week for me, but I hereby swear to get my shit together and update EVERY Friday. Thank you all for being so understanding.

"Nice to see you again." In that moment my breath hitched and my heart stopped beating. This truly couldn't be happening, but it was.

"I don't think I've had the pleasure of meeting you a first time, sir." I clenched my teeth

"But haven't you though?" I gasped seeing an old man step out from the darkness.

"Is that?" Justin asked dumbfounded

"Dad." I just stood there and stared at him as if he were a ghost

"I promise I'm not a ghost, but I am back from the dead." He walked over and hugged me

"How in the world does one come back from the dead?" Something about all of this just didn't sit right...

"Chase brought me back." He smiled

"Wait he's not dead?" Justin's jaw dropped to the floor

"Of course not you can't kill a warlock as powerful as him. It only kills him for a matter of minutes before he revives again. You've just made matters worse."

"Don't you think I know that? I wasn't gonna let him kill Justin." I backed out of his grasp

"Honey, I think you're getting involved with the wrong kind of guy here. He's not gonna be there for you at all. He LET you try to kill yourself to save him."

"Don't you even give me that crap about not being there. Where the hell have you been dad? You left us. You saw me crying out for you to stay and you didn't even look back. Then all of a sudden you prance back into my life and you never even had the guts to see me in person. Only over texts and you wanna talk accuse him of not being here for me?" I was utterly appalled at my father.

"I know your life's been hell ever since I left and I know I've been a shit father. I'm so sorry. If he makes you happy then do whatever you want please don't leave me." He was crying

I just shook my head whilst staring at the ground.

"I love you Scarlett." He was hugging me tightly

"Yeah."

"And I'm so sorry for what I'm about to do to you."

"Scar watch out!" I saw my father holding a knife to back millimeters from stabbing me.

I pushed him off and backed up next to Justin tears already slipping.

"Chase forced me to do it I didn't want to."

"Justin had no other option but to watch me stab myself, but you would do the job yourself to save yourself. You had a choice and you chose to kill me." Justin had his arm on the small of my back rubbing my back.

He shifted trying to stand up. "Don't you dare try to move. I'll kill you myself if you ever try to get near her or communicate with her ever again. Do you understand?" Justin's eyes were filled with rage at the cowering man.

"Scarlett, please you have to understand..." His eyes pleaded into mine making me look away.

"Stay away from me." My voice trembled uttering the words.

"Let's get out of here before someone else tries to kill us." He pulled on my arm to move me but I was stuck in place.

"Justin I can't move." It was like I was stuck in an invisible box.

"What do you mean you can't move?" He asked.

"I mean I'm trapped. You need to hide. Now." He seemed uncertain as to leaving my side, but nodded knowing it was for the best.
