always in my heart (a justin bieber story)

Chapter 14.

Graces POV:




I got home and went straight up to my room. I needed to relax. and right now, I need something strong to help me.







I opened my drawer where all my underwear are and reached straight to the back until my hand was touching a box. I pulled it out and opened it, perfect. just what I need. weed.







and just for your information I'm not some kind of drug addict, my brother had a party in my old house and when I was packing boxes this happened to be lying around.







I pulled out a joint, and went to the balcony outside my bedroom that looks over my back garden and all the hills of Los Angeles. the view is the most beautiful I have ever seen.

I put the joint between my lips, lit it, and took a hit. I sat outside, with the summer wind blowing warmly, and every second that went by my worries were leaving me, one by one.

right now I didn't care about anyone else, but myself.







Madison's POV:




as soon as I walked into the house and smelt weed, I knew that what had happened between Grace and Mike was rough. Grace is such an optimist and such a happy person, she would never turn to something this drastic to help her get her mind off things, and to be honest, it hurts me knowing that Mike could put her through so much hurt.







"must we go get her?" Ryan asked.

"no, just leave her for a bit, she needs to be alone." I pecked him on the lips and made my way over to the fridge.

"well i can tell you one thing, this girl is hard ass!" Za exclaimed.

we all laughed for a bit until we realized that this really wasn't a joking matter.

"mads, does Grace often do this? by this I mean weed." Justin asked me.

"no, never! this is probably her 2nd time ever doing it, and it scares me because I know that mike must have done something horribly bad for her to turn to weed."







we heard the click of a door opening and then some footsteps coming down the stairs.







Justin's POV:




"hey guys!" grace said to us. I have never seen her look so serene.

"gray, you feeling okay?" madison asked her, kissing her forehead.

"feeling hundreds."

she leaned past me and Za as a huge smell of weed just wafted past us.







grace soon left the kitchen and walked outside to the patio, she set the fire and sat outside there by herself.

"hey guys, I'll be right back ok?"

"sure!" they said in unison.




i walked outside to see her so serene and tranquil and it made me upset knowing that someone can make such a happy person be so upset that they have to settle to something as drastic as this.







Grace's POV:




"grace?" I heard a soft yet sultry voice say my name from behind me.

I turned around to see Justin standing there. man, did he look good.

"hey." I said softly, I patted the space next to me on the couch where I was sitting signaling that it was okay for him to come.







"I'm really sorry." Justin said as he sat down next to me.

"Justin, you don't have to be sorry. you did nothing." I gave him a reassuring smile.

"yeah, I know, but I mean, I saw Mike earlier and he clearly didn't make you too happy."

"yeah, well he's my past now. I don't need him or want him in my life anymore." I said, keeping a hard exterior.

"you know Grace, you don't have to be strong around me. I know you're upset, you don't have to act like this around me." Justin said as he cupped my shoulder in his hand and shook it a little bit.

"Justin, can I ask you something?"

he kept quiet, so I took that as a yes.

I hesitated for a bit, "why is it that whenever I'm about to be truly happy, something has to get in the way and screw it up? and why is it that I had to involve myself with mike even when I knew he was wrong for me? I basically planned for myself to be unhappy in the end." I whiped my cheek as a tear escaped.

"listen to me, Grace." Justin wrapped his arm around me and held me in an embrace. "I can't answer those questions. but I do know that Mike is your past and he will not bother you anymore, ok?" Justin held my chin and stared into my eyes with a soft, sincere look. "I also know that you have Madison, Ryan, Za and me, here for you and we will not make you feel like this okay? Grace, we all care about you so much. we may not have known you for long, but you are such a genuine, kind, loving, sincere and beautiful person who deserves so much better than mike. and if you ever need to talk to someone, or confide in someone, or just someone to hang out with, I'm right here okay? I will not let your happiness get ruined. I promise you."

what Justin said to me, was so beautiful, and it made me realize that I have some amazing people that I can confide in, and I have justin. and he is truly remarkable.

"thank you so, so so, so much Justin." I kissed him on the cheek, and rested my head on his shoulder. we sat there watched the fire, in a somewhat, comfortable silence.

"hey grace?" Justin said as he broke the silence.

"yeah?"

"do you want to hang out with me tomorrow? just us?.."

I knew that by the way he said that he sounded a bit nervous, and I loved the fact that he got nervous about asking me that question. I know that he doesn't like me, but after tonight, my feelings for him might have grown.

"I'd love to." I smiled.

he looked down at me, and held my hand in his.

"I can't wait." he said as he stroked the top of my hand with his thumb.
