Do You Remember Me?

Awkward

Chapter 3~ Awkward

Alex's POV:

I woke up in the hotel room to my phone dinging. I looked at the clock and it said 11:00 a.m. 

I groaned and then picked up my phone off the night stand to look at who the text was from. 

It was from Justin. I froze immediately the slowly swiped the lock bar on my iPhone and typed in the pass code. 

"Hey Alex! I got your number from Scooter since he has everyones number from the auditions. Its kind of weird, you have the same number as my friend Alex from when I was younger... Yeah we need to talk. I'll pick you up at 12:00 and we can go get smoothies. We leave for tour around 5:00 p.m. See you at 12:00 Alex!(;" I read out loud to myself. 

12:00? What the hell? I need to get ready. I run to the bathroom and hop in the shower. 

I hop out when I'm done and blow dry my hair. I throw on a pair of jean shorts and a teal flowy tank top since its summer. For shoes I go with my brown leather flip flops. I then brush my hair and teeth then do my make-up which is just some mascara and lip gloss. I hear my phone ding and look at it. 

"I'm here." The text from Justin says. 

I take one last look in the mirror then walk out of the hotel room shutting the door behind me. 

--

When I get outside I see him in the car. I run to the car and jump in the front seat. 

"Hey." I say and lean over the thing in the middle of the drivers seat and front seat to hug him.

"Hey? Thats all I get when I haven't seen you in like 500 years?" He says. "Why didn't you tell me that you were my Alex Greene when I pulled out my wallet? I knew you were I was just waiting for you to admit the fact you were. " He says and pulls out of the hotel parking lot. 

I sit there thinking about why I didn't tell him. "Justin, I was nervous for what you would say. I've missed you so much you have no idea. When I saw you I- I was so excited. I didn't know what to think. I didn't what emotions to feel either. Should I be mad that you lied? Yeah probably but I couldn't have because I was so over joyed that I was finally seeing my best friend after what felt like forever. I didn't know if you would remember me." I say as I finish with a deep breath. 

Justin sits there with his eyes locked on the road until we pull up to a stop light. "Alex how could I forget you? We've been each others best friends forever." He says as he runs his hands threw his hair. The light turns green and he goes. 

"I've missed you so much." Is all I manage to say. Then I think back to the day where he said 'Alex, I'll never forget you. I'll always be there for you, famous or not.' Suddenly I feel anger boiling inside me that I've been waiting to let out. "Justin why did you lie to me? Do you know how many days I spent crying up in my room when you wouldn't respond to any of my texts? Do you know how many friends I lost because I was ignorant to them because I was waiting for that name Justy Bieberrrr to pop up on my screen? Justin I loved you so much and you let me down. I actually believed you." I scream at him. I don't know why I'm doing this. I mean I missed him so much and now that I'm seeing him I'm yelling at him? After I won the competition that 2,000 other people wanted to win? This is how I repay him? I suddenly feel guilt. "Just- Justin- Justin I'm sorry I didn't mean any of that." I say holding back a waterfall of tears. 

"You honestly think I didn't try to keep my promise?" He yells at me. "Alex I loved you more then anyone. I loved you like a sister. You honestly think it didn't hurt me to think that you were out there in the world, getting your heartbroken, making new friends that would replace me, you being hurt and me not being there for you, and most of all forgetting me. When I was sad or mad I didn't wanna talk to Ryan or Chaz or Scooter or Alfredo or Kenny or my fans. I wanted to talk to you! The one and only person I can trust with my life. I couldn't text you because Scooter was afraid of my number being leaked or something. Alex you're not the only one who cried for days, weeks, and months when you lost your best friend. Cause I'll tell you one damn thing, I cried to. I cried a lot. My heartached for you to just text me. I knew you couldn't because I had to get a new number. All those years I wasn't ignoring you. I missed you more then anyone." He finishes and now there are tears streaming down my face.
