Love Will Remember

Chapter 4

~Justin's POV~

"Um, Justin. I-I don't think that we should talk.." Skyler said, looking down at her feet.

"Please Skyler. It's important." I begged.

"Look she said she doesn't wanna talk to you faggot so just leave her the fuck alone." Some guy snapped.

"Was I fucking even talking to you?" I snapped back.

The guy's eyes darkened, shooting daggers at me. Suddenly, he let go of Skyler and threw his fist right at my jaw.

Yelling out a pitched shriek, Skyler covered her mouth in shock in what just happened.

Using all of my force and anger inside of me, I pushed the guy against a wall and started to punch the living shit out of him.

~Skyler's POV~

Everything just happened so quickly in front of my eyes. Derek hit Justin on the jaw and Justin pushed him against the wall and is now beating the shit out of him.

Running over to where Justin was punching Derek, I yelled, "Justin!! Get off of him!"

"Why should I listen to you?! It's not like I care about you or what you say." Justin snapped.

Hurt filling inside of me, I tried to hold back the tears that were threatening to fall. I can't believe that he just said that he doesn't care about me.

"Justin. Just please listen to me," I said. "I-I'll talk to you if you just please leave him alone."

Turning to look straight in my eyes, he asked, "Do you mean that?" Looking back at his eyes, I could see the gentleness in his eyes that he used to always have.

Nodding my head, Justin let go of Derek, letting him fall to the ground. Running straight to him, I moved some of his hair from his face.

"Babe. Don't go with him." Derek whispered, worry filling up in his eyes.

"I have to. If I don't, he'll probably do something worse to you. I don't want that to happen." I said, gently stroking his cheek.

"But w-what if he hurts you?" Derek asked.

"He won't. I've known him since we were five. I'll be ok. I'm going to tell Chels to take you to the nurse." I told him, placing a kiss on his lips.

Getting up, I said to Chelsey, "Chels, please take Derek to the nurse. I needa talk to Justin real quick."

Widening her eyes, Chelsey said, "H-How are you going to trust him after what he did to y-your boyfriend?"

"I'll be ok. Just please take Derek to the nurse before he gets worse." I said, impatiently.

Nodding her head, Chelsey helped Derek up and started to take him opposite of where I was, to the nurse's office.

Turning back around to Justin, I saw a slight shine in his eyes. "What do you need to talk to me about?" I asked, crossing my arms across my chest.

"We need to talk somewhere else.. Alone." Justin said, looking in the direction of the school patio.

"Ok fine." I said, walking towards the patio.

As we got to the patio, I turned back around to come face to face with Justin. "Ok now tell me what you want." I said.

"Ugh. Well um... I don't know how to say this but um...." Justin hesitated.

Rolling my eyes, I snapped, "Come on Justin. Just spill it already."

"Do you um want to start over? Forget the fight we had and be the best friends we were three years ago?" Justin said.

"Wait what?" I asked, confused. Did he just say he wants to be best friends again? Or am I going crazy?

"I said, do you want to start over and forget about the stupid fight we had?" Justin said, a bit more confident.

Looking straight at Justin I saw all sincerity and honesty across his face. Sighing in deeply, I said, "How can we be best friends if you just beat up my boyfriend?"

Sighing, Justin said, "Look Sky, he was looking for it. He was being a little bitch at first for not letting me talk to you and then he had the nerve to punch me. Nobody does that to me. And I mean nobody." I looked into his eyes and saw a sudden darkness in his eyes.

"Y-You've changed so much Justin. How do you expect me to trust you to not hurt me?" I stuttered, backing away.

His eyes then had a gentleness all over. "Sky. I-Im still the same guy I was 3 years ago. I'm just a little tougher. D-Don't be scared of me." Justin stuttered, stepping closer to me, causing me to take a step back.

"Ugh fuck! I ruin everything!" Justin yelled, running a hand through his hair and pulling at the ends.

Staring at him, he kept saying, "First I lose you 3 years ago. And then I beat up your boyfriend and now. Now your scared of me and I'm losing you again."

Looking up at me, I saw tears forming in the corners of his eyes. "I can't lose you again Sky."

Guilt and hurt running through me, I stepped a bit closer to Justin. Noticing, he looked up at me. Taking another step towards him, I can feel my heartbeat beating quicker.

After another step, Justin opened his arms and I went running to his arms. Wrapping me up in a tight hug, I could feel the tears running down my face.

"You won't lose me, Justin. Whether you want to get rid of me or not, I'll always be here for you. You are my best friend right?" I said, hugging him tighter, scared that if I let go, I'll lose my best friend forever.
