Save Me

Chapter Thirteen

Justin clutched the steering wheel looking at the rode intently. His jaw clenched. Knowing that he use to be my best friend. I just wanna hug him. But scared of rejection I haven't. I looked out the window sighing. It didn't take long before I realised we weren't going to the hotel.

"Where are we going?" I asked looking at him. He looked at me then back at the rode. "To your new apartment." He replied quietly. I nodded lifting my eyebrows slightly. I've learned my lesson for sure this time. Just don't question Justin. We arrived to a very clean and civil apartment complex. But it looked very expensive. He parked the car, stopping the engine looking at me. We just sat there in complete silence. He sighed rubbing his eyes. He looked run down. His hair was a mess, slightly puffy eyes, tired face, just a complete hot mess.

"I.. Uh.." He started breaking the silence. I looked at him turning my body slightly to face him. He put his hands on the steering wheel looking down.

"I know I haven't been the nicest person in the world to you. And that's stupid of me. You've been through a lot. I just get worried," He looked at me complete sadness covering his face. "I care about you. You're.. It's hard to explain what you are to me. I know it may be sudden to you. Me telling you this. But with all this shit. With all this pure bullshit that has happened to us since we were little.. I miss you. And.. It's just hard for me. I just want to let you know that.. That everything I do.. I do because I care about you not because I'm being a dick. Even though it seems like it." He continued. A smirk slowly formed on his face. I bit my cheek.

"I'm sorry as well. I haven't actually been making this easy for you either. I've been a bitch. It's just a bit much for me. Ya know? With having someone finally in your life after years of constant bullying be nice to you. It feels so unreal. And with someone that looks like you Justin. I'm the one sorry." I sighed. I turned away from him picking at my nails. Justin grabbed my chin making me look him in the eyes.

"Don't worry.. I understand completely. Now.. Take this. Go upstairs and get some sleep. I'll be here in the morning to pick you up." He said handing me a key. I took it smiling. He got out the car helping me. I thanked him under my breath walking towards the stairs. I stopped in my tracks. I turned around, running to Justin giving him a hug. I hugged him tight gripping his shirt. I let his minty, axe smell fill my nose. I didn't care if he didn't hug back. I just wanted to let him know I'm grateful for everything he's doing for me. I was about to let go when I felt Justin's long arms wrap around me. He gripped my waist tightly resting his on my head. We just stood there absorbing each others company. I pulled away without another word. I walked up the stairs unlocking my new apartment.

I was in complete awe. It was already furnished. I walked around observing how well furnished it was. I found a note. "Just take it no questions asked.. Justin.." I read the note. I smiled. I walked towards my room stopping in my tracks immediately. The bed was huge. The room had a great cherry wood set. Two drawers, a vanity dresser and night stand. Justin went all out. And it looked expensive. I went through the drawers seeing that all my clothes were here. Even my underwear and bras. That must mean.. My cheeks flamed up. I pulled out my phone texting Justin.

Me: thanks for everything.. I'm very grateful. But going through my underwear. Was that necessary? Ha!

I put my phone on the nightstand grabbing some PJs. I took off my shoes putting my purse on my bed. I was heading towards the shower when I got a text.

Justin: couldn't help myself. I'm a curious guy. Haha! Goodnight xx

I bit my lip smiling. I put my phone down heading towards the bathroom.

I got up did my morning routine. I changed into some white shorts, black tank top, black converse, my hair in a high ponytail, some light makeup, and my diamond studs. I locked my door walking down the stairs. Justin instantly caught my eye. He was leaning across the hood of his black Ferrari wearing, his aviators, black V neck, white skinnies, black supras, and his bronze hair in a quiff. He chewed his gum with a smirk across his face.

I giggled walking towards him.

"What's so funny?" He asked raising his eyebrows. "We match." I blushed. Justin examined his clothes then examined me. "You look better in it." He laughed opening the passenger door for me. I laughed getting in. Justin got in starting the car.

"I really hope you weren't looking forward to going to school today." He said backing out the parking lot. "Why?" I asked smiling. He lowered his sunglasses looking at me.

"Well.. Are you?" He smirked. I shook my head no. He smiled big. "Good! Cause you aren't going." He said chewing his gum. "Where are we going?" I asked putting my book bag in the back seat.

"Manhattan New York." He exclaimed speeding down the highway.
