Justin sighed as he sat next to me and grabbed my hand, intertwining our fingers.  Frowning in confusion, I turned to him to see him smiling at our fingers.

Not taking his eyes off our hands, he said, "My mind has been all about you.  My journal even says so.  I came here to give you it to read, if you want, I'll be back tomorrow to get it back." He whispered as he got a notebook out of his pocket and gave it to me. 

"Justin..." I trailed off. 

"Just please read it," he whispered.  "This is about all my dreams and thoughts.  The past three days are all about you and not Selena," he said before taking a deep breath.  "Selena was a mistake and you weren't. I'm sorry for taking us or whatever we had for granted," He then looked at me.  "You're the best thing that has ever happened to me. You're the only one that understands. You're the only one I can talk to without laughing."

Sighing, I shrugged, taking a look at our hands.  "You know, I wasn't really into looking for a relationship until you came along if that sounded cheesy," I whispered as I put my head on his shoulder.

"Same with me," he whispered back.

Pulling my head off his shoulder, I looked him in the eye then I kissed his cheek. His cheeks turned red and so did mine and then his eyes widened a bit.

"I'm sorry, didn't you have a party to go?" He asked as he scratched the back of his neck.

"Yeah but— wait how did you know?" I asked as I titled my head.

"Just because I'm not talking to you, that doesn't mean I won't check up on Kylie's Twitter or yours," he said while taking his phone out of his pocket and went to his Twitter. "I saw this tweet. It says, 'YES BITCHES! Party tonight w/ Ariana. Catch us there' with a wink face," Justin said as I rolled my eyes at Kylie's tweet. "I may sound stalkerish but when I meet someone I care about, I won't take any chances of not knowing when someone I know is hurt."

"Creep," I rolled my eyes.

"You look beautiful by the way," he whispered as he looked down at his shoes. Putting my finger under his chin and lifted it up to look at me in the eyes, I smiled and kissed his cheek again.

"Don't be shy," I whispered as his cheeks went red again.

After moments of silence, Kylie ran out of the door, excited.

"Party time, Ari! Let's go," she exclaimed as I nodded, looking at Justin.

"Well, I should go—" he started but I interrupted.

"Want to come along?"

"Ariana, I'm not even wearing party clothes. Thanks but maybe later,"

"Justin, live!" I yelled as I grabbed his arm and pulled him toward the car. "You're going. I always see you partying now party with me." I mumbled while Justin paused and smirked toward me. "Shut up I know that sounded wrong." I said before pushing him in the car.

The music blasted through the ten speakers in the room while the DJ was jamming out to it with a headphone in his left ear. Smiling, I felt much better. Parties were my home and I felt at peace when I was there.
