Unbroken

Chapter 12; I care

Juliet’s p.o.v

I walked up the steps to Justin’s house. After yesterday he had invited me over, again. He didn’t say for what, just that I should come over. I didn’t argue it. I wanted to be around him, I wanted to get to know him more. I had to leave for a meeting with my father so we couldn’t talk much about what happened. Before I could knock on the door Justin opened it.

“Hey” He said letting me inside.

“What’s up?” I asked.

“Nothing really…just wanted to hang out.”

“Yeah…maybe we should talk about last night and that…” I trailed.

“Yeah that.” He shrugged. “I don’t know what came over me.” He walked away.

“What do you mean? You said the other day that you liked me…and those songs…” I was unsure of what was going on. 

“I just, I can’t handle a relationship.” He shrugged.

“What does that mean?” I asked. Last night he kissed me. He wrote those songs about me…now it was like it never happened. I was strating to get angry at him and the way he was acting.

“I think we should stay friends.” He said.

“Friends…if that’s what you want” I rolled my eyes.

“Cool” He smiled slightly.

“I should go” I said walking towards the door.

“Why? You just got here.” He said following me.

“I know…I just don’t think I can be around you right now without wanting to punch you in the damn face.” I spoke with anger.

“Why do you want to punch me in the face?” He asked.

“Really…you are really playing this game right now?”

“Just because I want to be friends you are all pissed off?” He asked raising his eye brows.

“It’s not just that, last night I opened up to you…now you are pushing me away, again. You kissed me last night.” I pushed.

“So you want a relationship with me?” He asked

“I don’t know what I want. I just can’t handle how you are acting right now. You don’t want to be with me…even though you write songs about me.” I rolled my eyes.

“It’s not that. I just can’t be your boyfriend.” He sighed.

“So you are just going to…you know what never mind. Forget that I said anything.” I laughed before turning around.

“It’s not like that Juliet…I can’t be your boyfriend, I can’t have a relationship. I have feelings for you, but I just can’t.” He obviously didn't know what he wanted.

“You think I can be your girlfriend? I can’t do that. But that doesn’t mean I am going to ignore the fact that we kissed each other and that I admitted my feelings towards you.”

“I am not ignore that either. It is just complicated. I can’t be in a complicated relationship.” He shook his head.

“Yeah…I should go.”

“Stay, please” He begged.

“No, I have to finish my album.” I needed to get away from him.

“No you don’t you are pretty much done, that’s what Rodger told me.” He pressed. 

“That doesn’t mean I don’t have meetings to go to or anything.” I said.
