Unbroken

Chapter 14; Movie night

Juliet’s p.o.v

My interview went better than I thought it would. Ellen was funny and very nice. I was now going to have a little break that I much needed.Scott and my father were going out of town for the weekend for some weird reason and I didn’t mind. That would mean that I have the whole house to myself.

“Juliet, if you need anything call either one of us. Justin also knows you are by yourself and he is just a few minutes away.” My father said before walking out of the door.

“Last I checked, I was nineteen.” I giggled. “Goodbye!” I shouted before shutting the door behind them.

Less than ten minutes later there was a knock at the door. They seriously have issues. I opened the door and saw Justin standing there with bags of stuff in his hands. I wasn’t expecting him, I thought Scooter and my father had forgotten something.

“Are you going to let me inside?” He laughed.

“Sure come in.” I said moving aside so he could come inside. “Why are you here?” I asked. I didn't mind the company, I just wasn't sure that I wanted to see him. 

“Well, we both have the weekend off. I have nothing to do and you have this big house all to yourself so, I thought we could have a movie night and eat a bunch of junk food.” He said, unloading the bags on the kitchen counter. “I don’t really know what type of food you like so I got a little bit of everything.” He laughed.

“Okay…” I said looking through the food he brought.

“Are you okay with me being here?” He asked looking over at me.

“I don’t mind.” I said walking into the living room with the movies. I didn’t mind actually, I liked his company. Although it would be nice to be alone, I like that he showed up.

“So what do you want to watch first?” He asked. He put some of the junk food on the table in front of the couch before sitting down next to me.

“Hm. Let’s watch bridesmaids.” I smiled putting it into the DVD player.

“I have never seen this. I heard it is funny.” He said opening a bag of chips.

“It is my favorite movie, ever.” I said settling myself down next to him.

“Ever?” He asked rasing his eye brows.

“Ever! It is so funny. She literally takes a shit in the middle of the road while wearing a Vera Wang dress. I just love this movie.” I laughed.

“Wow, that’s interesting.” He laughed.

“You will see” I smiled.

Halfway through the movie I noticed Justin had moved closer to me. I didn’t mind. I moved a little closer myself. His hand was only an inch away from mine. I wanted to grab it…but I knew he should be the one to make the first move. After all, he keeps saying we aren't going to work and shit.

“I need to piss.” He said standing up.

“Okay..?” I trailed, I was unsure what his sudden outburst was about.

“I’ll be back.” He said walking away. I paused the movie so he wouldn’t miss anything. He was starting to act strange…I couldn’t figure out why he was even here. I just didn’t really want to question it. I liked his company and I didn’t want him to leave. He came back into the room a few minutes later.

“Are you okay?” I asked walking towards him.

“Yeah...I am great.” He looked away.

“What’s wrong?” I asked. It was obvious that he was tense.

“I don’t know” He screamed. He was obviously frustrated.

“Did I do something?” I asked walking closer to him.

“Yes, actually. I can’t fucking think straight for a second because of you. You are literally all I even think about.” He said turning away from me.

“You drive me crazy to.” I spoke up.

“Sure” He said sarcastically.

“You do. Half the time I don’t even know what the hell is wrong with you. One second you like me, the next you are pushing me away and then you suddenly care about me…then you disappear for weeks.”

“I’m sorry.” He said looking at me.

“Don’t be. I wouldn’t even care if it wasn’t for the fact that I have feelings for you that I can’t even control.” I blurted out.

“So you do have feelings for me?” He asked walking towards me.

“Yes…I do.” I looked away. I knew he felt the same, but he would never make a move even though I dreamed and wished he would.

“I have feelings for you, Juliet.” He smiled while staring deep into my eyes.

“Yeah well…”

“I am sorry for pushing you away…I just…I guess I just have issues with myself. I am tired and emotionally drained from all of this. We go back and forth with each other. We push each other away even though we both care about one another, then go weeks without seeing each other. I just can’t do that anymore. It makes me crazy. I am tired of fighting the urge to stay away from you. I want to be able to call you, text you, and be around you anytime I want. I want to be able to call you…my…my girlfriend.” He grabbed my hand. He was being so honest with me, I had never seen this side of him.

“Do you mean that?” I asked. “You really want me to be your girlfriend?” I wanted to make sure that I had heard him corectly.

“I mean it. I want to be your boyfriend. I want to be everything you want and need. I just want you.” He pulled me into his arms. I wrapped my arms around him. I wanted him to be my boyfriend and I wanted to be his girlfriend.

“Will you be my girlfriend?” He asked pulling away.

“Yes” I smiled.

“Good” He chuckled. He grabbed me by my waist and pulled me into his arms before kissing my lips tenderly.

“How about we continue with this movie night?” He smiled.

“Yeah” I smiled back. My emotions were in overdrive, and I loved every second of it.
