Forever And Always (Season 2 of Long Time No Seen)

Chapter 10

RECAP* Justin and Melani were playing a game of Ask Me :P *PART 10, JUSTIN'S POV* I asked her a question that I couldn't resist asking. "On a scale from one to fifty, how good of a kisser am I?" She laughs. Melani: "Fifty's a high number, don't cha think?" Me: "Fine... Twenty." Melani: "Hm.. I'd say you're a nineteen. Mostly 'cause you never use your tongue." She laughs. "Kidding. But seriously. You're a nineteen. My turn." She smiles. Melani: "How high am I on that scale?" I bite my lip and choose my answer carefully. I mean, she was like basically right in front of me. Our bodies were facing each other, our faces with like RIGHT THERE. Perfect time to kiss her. I don't care if she has a boyfriend. Me: "I don't know.." She furrows her eyebrows. Melani: "How can you not know?" Me: "Kiss me and I'll know." I whisper. Melani: "What?" I came close to her ear and whispered "Kiss me." I left a trail of soft kisses down to her cheek. Our faces were right in front of each other, our bodies almost touching. Kiss her Justin! "I love you.." I closed my eyes and leaned forward. She didn't stop me, so I went all the way. We connected lips and I felt a slight shock in my lips. Hot damn I missed this. I scooted closer to her and put my hand on her cheek. *MELANI'S POV* This was wrong.. REALLY wrong. But, I was loving it. Justin's kisses were all I needed in this world. My hands go around his neck as the kiss deepens. I hadn't even noticed that his tongue was in my mouth. But that's when I pulled back. Justin frowns. Justin: "I'm sorry.. I just couldn't help myself." I bite my lip. Me: "Um.. It's alright. I guess." He sighs and lays on his back. We can't keep kissing like this.. Even if it's the best feeling in the world. Justin: "I think I should go..." He sits up. Me: "Um. Okay.." I stand up and follow him downstairs. Justin: "Again, I'm REALLY sorry.." Me: "Justin, it's okay..." He sighs. Justin: "I just don't wanna ruin your relationship.. I mean, I want you to be happy." I can't be happy if I'm not with you. Me: "You won't ruin it." He furrows his eyebrows. Me: "Don't worry." He nods. Justin: "See ya, KitKat." He turns and hugs me. I never wanted to let go, and by the looks of it, he didn't want to either. Justin: "I'll miss you." He whispers in my ear. Me: "I'll miss you too, Batman." I laugh into his shoulder. He pulls out of the hug and steps out of the house. Justin: "Wait." He turns back around. Justin: "You coming to my concert tomorrow?" Me: "Can't.. It's sold out." He grins. Justin: "Got that covered, shawty. See ya tomorrow." He winks before turning back to his car. Now what's he thinking of? I smile to myself and close the door. I'm SOOOO happy I made the decision to surprise him. I got a text when I got upstairs. "Miss u Super Girl. :)" I smile. Wow... What's wrong with me? I laugh and text "Miss you too Batmann xD" "R u home alone?" I hadn't noticed that mom and Alex were still out. "Yea. :|" "Why didnt u tell me? I wouldve stayed. ;)" "Im fine alone, thanks. Anyway, im tired.. Cya whenever. :) xoxo" "Yea i'll see u 2morrow. G'night Mels. Sweet dreams. <3" I put my phone away and crawl into bed. Justin, or Cody. Cody, or Justin. I sigh and pull out a piece of paper. And what I wrote on this paper, was a list of things I loved most about each of them. 

Cody: 
The way he treats me 
How he laughs 
His smile 
His eyes 
How he cares about me 
How he can make me smile 

The list went down the page, to the last line. As for Justin, I don't know. There were tons of things to write, but sometimes those things could make me mad. How? I don't really know. But I just do.. I tap the pen against my chin. [LMFAO when I put an "x" next to the words, that means she crossed it out xD] 

Justin:
His smile X 
His eyes X 
His laugh X 
The way he makes me laugh X 

UGH! I loved all these things, but none were good for this list. So you know what I put? 

"Justin:
Everything" 

*JUSTIN'S POV* So, tonight went kinda well.. I mean, Melani's good with me now. We kissed, I said sorry. But I really didn't mean it. I want Melani to be happy, of course I do. It's just.. Part of me wants her to be happy with ME. Not Cody. I swear, if I get another chance, I'll be the best boyfriend ever. Okay, so I said that before... But this time I mean it. I know that someday, when I've gotten too many chances, Melani will stop talking to me for good, and I don't want that to happen. I fall back onto the hotel bed and stare at the paint on the ceiling that was fading away. I wanna prove to Melani that I can be better than Cody. I won't even look at another girl. Well, you know, besides the times when my eyes are looking around, that's different. But anyway, I'll show her the real Justin. Truthful, sweet, funny, smart, energetic Justin. But how the hell will I show her these things when Cody will probably be around? I thought of a plan, something I used before... Eh, it's worth a shot. I change into sleeping clothes and crawl into the huge, empty hotel bed. The only thing my mind consisted of was showing Melani how much I cared. Showing her that I can change into someone I want to be. A good guy. A nice guy. A guy who doesn't cheat, doesn't lie, and isn't afraid to tell the world. That's gonna take a lot, but I can try. It's all for Melani. I sigh and lay back on my hand, replaying our kisses in my head. I fell asleep long after that, and dreamt of Melani and I dating again. I hoped my dreams would come true.

*MELANI'S POV*
I woke up to soft music playing in my head. Wait. I sit up with my hand to my forehead. There's that music again! I open my eyes and wipe the heaps of hair stuck to my face from my gross sweat. Something shiny caught my eye and I turned, only to have a mini heart attack. I jump up and run to the door, bursting outside. "Baby, baby, baby ohhh. I thought you'd always be mine.." He strums the last chords and stuff. "Morning beautiful.." He smiles. Just like that smile when he was on SNL. But anyway, I walked over to him and tugged at his hair. But not too hard. Me: "What are you trying to do? Give me a heart attack?" He chuckles, making my heart feel like butterflies. [LMFAO that didn't make sense. xD] Justin: "No, I just wanna make sure you got up early enough.. Want some breakfast?" He reveals the breakfast feast on the table beside him. Me: "Um... Sure... I guess." He puts his guitar back in the case and pulls the chair out for me. Me: "So, you never exactly explained why you're here." I say, stuffing eggs into my mouth. Justin: "Just wanted to surprise my best friend." He grins. I nod, and look out at the morning sky. The sun was shining, only a few clouds shown across the bright blue sky. Beautiful. Me: "Who cooked this?" Justin: "I did." He beams. Me: "Really? You're lying.." I narrow my eyes. Justin: "Nope. It was all me." Me: "Wow Justin. You've really gotten better at cooking." I laugh. Justin: "Yeah, well, I've been practicing ever since I left last summer." He shrugs. We start talking about our new talents, some good memories, and soon it was almost 11am. Me: "Yeah, so it was really sweet of you to do this, Justin. But Cody'll be here soon to pick me up." He nods, and sadness overcomes the happiness in his eyes. Justin: "Right. Um, well have fun with him..." He starts cleaning up. I went back into my room, and got my clothes out of the dresser. All while watching Justin sadly clean up all the stuff he brought. I felt a little guilty, though it wasn't my fault that he wanted to do all this for me. I sigh and go take a shower. *JUSTIN'S POV* So part one of today is over.. But I've got plenty more before my concert starts. I clean up my mess and leave a note for Melani. Part two, let's do this. 

*MELANI'S POV* When I got out of the shower, I expected to see Justin still waiting outside. But everything was gone. He left me a note though. 
"Hey Mels, I would've waited out here, but I had something to go to. Have fun with Cody. Can't wait to see you tonight. :) I love you. <3 xoxo ~Justin" 
Right. Tonight. Justin's concert. Hundreds of girls screaming his name. That'll be fun. I get downstairs and see mom and Alex eating breakfast. Mom: "Morning honey. Come eat." I smile. Me: "No thanks. I already ate." She makes a face but continues eating her bacon. Me: "Anyway, I gotta go. Cody's here." They nod and I go outside. Cody was there waiting in his car, like every Sunday morning. Cody: "Hey Mels." He grins and opens the door for me. Me: "Hey Cody." I peck his cheek and get myself situated into my seat. Cody: "So... Park?" I nod. Me: "Park." He smiles and starts the engine. I turn on the radio, and U Smile is playing. Damnit. I was doing perfectly fine without thinking of Justin while I'm with Cody, until this happened. I change the station and Baby was playing. Gosh. Is Justin really this famous? I changed the station again, and One Less Lonely Girl was on. What the hell? Is it Justin Bieber day or something? I turn off the radio and stare out the window. Justin's face somehow appeared on the window. I jump and cover my eyes. Cody: "Something wrong?" Me: "Huh?" I peek through my fingers. Me: "Oh. No. I'm perfectly fine." I uncover my eyes and smile. He nods and laces his fingers into mine with his free hand. I tried to get Justin out of my head, but hell, that could never happen. We got to the park and went over to the swings. I don't know why we came here every Sunday, but we did. I sat on the swing and Cody started to push me slowly. Ugh. It's so weird how he's like Justin. But in so many ways, he's different. I frown to myself and stare at my feet. Cody: "What's wrong?" I look up. Me: "Nothing.." Cody: "You're quiet today.. I mean, quieter than usual." I sigh. Me: "Just thinking... That's all." I bite my lip and stare at the distant people who were kissing on a bench. Grrr. Cody: "Thinkin' about what?" Me: "Ju... st thinking about life." Oh gosh that was close. Cody: "I know you're lying..." He whispers and stops pushing me. He sits on the swing next to me. Cody: "You're thinking about Justin.. Have you two.. You know, had a thing?" I put my feet flat on the ground to stop me from swinging. I forgot that he never knew about "Jelly" Me: "Well, yeah... But no." He makes a confused face. Me: "Okay, well, we dated.. But it wasn't really all happy. Like, we barely ever spent some good time together.. And I just.. I don't know." He nods. Cody: "I have no idea what that meant, but it's over.. Right?" I nod. Me: "Totally over. No feelings anymore." Lie. Ugh. Cody: "Okay.." He didn't seem so sure, but didn't make any comments. My phone vibrates, and of course, it's Justin. "Hi shawty. :) U ready 4 2nite?" I look at Cody, and he was staring at the ground. "Um, yea i guess." "K cool. Cant wait. :D I love youuuuu. ;)" I smile and put my phone away. Cody: "Hey, are you doing anything tonight?" UGH! Me: "Um... I don't know. Why?" Cody: "Well, I was kinda wanting to go to the movies or something." He smiles. Me: "Err, well, Justin kinda invited Becca and I to his concert tonight... You see, Becca's his cousin so yeah." He sighs. Cody: "Oh okay.." Me: "I can cancel if you want.." Cody: "No, you should go. I mean, Becca's your 'girlfriend' right?" He laughs. Me: "Yeah I guess. You sure you're okay with it, though?" Cody: "Yeah. I'm sure." I smile and hug him. Me: "You're awesome.." I laugh. Cody: "Nah, you're better-er." I roll my eyes. Me: "You're weird." Cody: "I know." He grins and pulls me onto his lap. Cody: "You're so cute." He pecks me. Me: "Thank you." I laugh, and lean in again. Somewhere in the middle of kissing him, I got a weird feeling in my stomach. I pull back and furrow my eyebrows. Cody: "What's wrong? That was hot." He grins. Me: "Um.. Nothing. Can we go home?" Cody: "Yeah sure." He scoops me up and carries me back to the car. We drove home in silence; I couldn't shake that weird feeling out of my head. It was like... I don't know. It just felt weird. Cody: "You sure you're alright?" Me: "Yeah I'm fine. Thanks babe." I kiss him, and get that feeling again. Cody: "Okay. See you tomorrow?" I nod. Cody: "Call you later." I wave and stop at my doorstep. I can't do this... I sigh and walk in. Mom: "Hi sweetie.. Justin called." I looked up. Me: "Justin? Why?" Mom: "He wanted me to give you this.." She holds out her palm. I stare at the shiny gold object in her hand. Me: "W-What... Where?" She smiles. Mom: "I've kept this ever since you told me to throw it away.. But I couldn't. It's just too special for you two." I carefully pick up the delicacy and look at the old charms. "Melly" it said in cursive. This little bracelet was a present from Justin, well another one. Actually, Pattie got it for me, but I liked to think of it as Justin's present. I've had it since I was 3, and kept it in my jewelry when it wouldn't fit anymore. When Justin left, I gave it to mom and told her to get rid of it.. Me: "He remembered it?" She nods. Mom: "Told me he loved it when you wore it everyday." I smile. Me: "Thanks." She smiles back. Mom: "No problem, sweetie." I go upstairs, biting my lip and staring at my bracelet. I pull out my phone and text Justin. "Thank you Justin.. <3" I got an almost immediate text back. "What for?" "For.. Everything you do. And just being you." "Oh. Well ur welcome then. :)" "Did you really remember my bracelet?" "Yep. How could i not?" "I dunno.. I kinda thought it wasnt important to u anymore." "Hey, can we just talk on the phone? Id much rather hear ur beautiful voice.. :)" I call him and he picks up after the first ring. "Hellooo ma'am?" I laugh. "Yes, sir. Is there a Mr. Bieber available?" Justin: "Actually, Mr. Bieber is currently awaiting a call from a Miss... Sexy." I laugh. Me: "Yes, this is she." Justin: "Ooooh. Well then hello sexay." I roll my eyes. Me: "Okay, can we just get to talking regular?" He chuckles. Justin: "Yeah sure. So what's up?" Me: "You wanted me to call.." Justin: "Oh right. The bracelet. You wanted to throw it away..?" I sigh. Me: "Well, you know me. I overreacted. When you left me and said those things, I got mad and wanted to throw out everything having to do with you." Justin: "Eh, well I wouldn't blame you.. Oh hey I gotta go. Rehearsal. You're still coming tonight, right?" Me: "Yep. Becca and I'll be in the front row cheering our third Musketeer on." He laughs. Justin: "That's cute. See ya tonight, shawty. I love youuuuu." I laugh. Me: "See ya." He hangs up, leaving me to think about where we were now. He's been calling me shawty a lot.. Another new nickname? I've already got like three. Anyway, it's nearing 4, and the concert starts at six. Or at least Justin wants us there by six. I call Becca over and she says she'll be here in 20. I go take another quick shower before she can fix us up. When I get out, Becca was here. Becca: "You ready to get all sexy for your boyfriend?" She laughs. Me: "Cody's not coming.." I furrow my eyebrows. Becca: "Oh my gosh, Mels. You're such a blonde!" She laughs. Becca: "I was talkin' about Justin." I put my hands on my hips. Me: "Justin's not my boyfriend, nor is he my future boyfriend. Just best friend. Like when we were younger. Three Musketeers." She pats my shoulder. Becca: "Whatever stops the tears, Mels. Come on." I give her a look as she pushes me towards the bathroom to curl my hair. Oh boy. *JUSTIN'S POV* Rehearsal was going great.. Mostly because I was thinking about Melani the whole time. My crew thought my face was stuck with a smile on it. I went through the whole rehearsal with good energy and smiles all around. Whew. Next was the soundcheck, which Melani and Becca were coming to. 15 more minutes... Pattie: "Are you ready for tonight?" Me: "Yep." I say, plopping down onto the couch in my dressing room. Pattie: "You sure?" Me: "Yep." I lay back on my hand and stare at the ceiling, starting to daydream about Melani. Pattie: "Are you okay..?" Me: "Better than ever." She gives me a look. Pattie: "Wait. It's Melani isn't it? Has she given you another chance?" I sigh. Me: "No, she has a boyfriend.. But she's not mad at me either." Pattie: "So that's a good thing?" Me: "Yes, very." She stares at me. Pattie: "My son is so weird." I smile. Me: "But my mom loves me anyway." She laughs and pats my stomach. Pattie: "Yes, I do." One of the security guards from this arena came up at the doorway. Guard: "Sir, there are two teenage girls out front, claiming they know you." I smile and jump up. Me: "Lemme see." I follow the huge dude down the hallway. I heard a few squeals while I passed by, and soon came to the front entrance. Sure enough, there was Becca, standing there look impatient. And Melani, looking as beautiful as ever.. Even if I always say that. Me: "Hey girls. C'mon." I nod my head towards the food court. Becca: "Finally!" She pushes past the guards and comes by me in a huff. Melani, on the other hand, thanks the guards and walks to my other side. Me: "Let's get something to eat, shall we?" I put on my shades and hoodie and link arms with them. Melani: "Um... I'm not very hungry.." Becca: "I am!" She smiles like a beastly dog. Me: "Um, okay.. Go buy something." I give her a $20 bill and she runs off towards Panda Express. Me: "Wanna go to my dressing room?" She nods and follows me back to the stage area. It was pretty empty in the hallways since everyone was practicing. Melani: "Wow.. I've never been to a concert before..." She looks around just like when we were in the choco factory. Me: "C'mon. Over here." I grab her hand and take her into the dressing room. Melani: "Hm.. So this is where you change and stuff?" Me: "Yep." I slip off my white v-neck. Melani: "What're you doing?" She gets wide eyes. I chuckle. Me: "Relax, relax. I'm just changing into something more comfortable.." She slaps my arm. Melani: "So you choose to do that NOW, when I'm in here?" Me: "Okay first, owww. And second, yeah. Don't act like you don't like it." I wink, slipping my "hooligan" shirt over my head. Melani: "I don't." She turns, but I can see her smiling through a reflection. Me: "Alright. I've got a soundcheck to do. You coming?" Melani: "To get trampled by your crazy fans? No thank you." I smirk. Me: "I'll protect ya." Melani: "Nah, I'll just stay here.." I shrug. Me: "Kay. See ya soon, shawty." I hug her, and leave the room with a big smile. Ryan announces me out on stage and I walk into the arena. "Hey San Fransisco!" I smile. *MELANI'S POV* It was actually pretty boring in here without Justin or Becca in here. I sigh and lay back on his couch. Maybe I'll take a short little nap.. I mean, I'm not THAT much of a heavy sleeper. Am I? Oh whatever. I close my eyes and listen to "Teach Me How To Dougie" play through the walls. Soon enough, my weariness came over me, and I fell asleep.
