Forever And Always (Season 2 of Long Time No Seen)

Chapter 32

"WE'RE GOING TO JAPAN!" MariCris squealed. I sighed and stayed laying down on the couch. MariCris: "Aww c'mon Mels! Be happy! We're finally leaving the USA!" She poked my stomach. "I can't, MariCris... It's been a month now. I wanna go home." I turned my back to her. "Who wants to go home?" Justin's voice rang. MariCris: "Your gir- Mels." She sighed and patted my back, which meant she was leaving the room. "Mels?" Justin came close to me. Me: "Yeah?" I croaked. Justin: "Do.. You really wanna go home?" He lightly touched my shoulder. "Yeah.. I mean, do y-you know how hard it is to constantly be around someone who broke your heart?" I paused. "Never mind, don't answer that." He sighed and sat on the couch with me. Justin: "I'm really sorry, Mels... But-" Me: "You lost the feelings, I know. You stopped loving me a month ago.." It hurt even more to say it out loud. Justin: "Melani.. Just, please, come with us to Asia... Afterwards, if you still wanna go home, then I'll buy you plane tickets.." I sighed. "Fine.." He patted my shoulder and leaned down to kiss my cheek. My face immediately started burning. It's been forever since I felt his lips... 

------------ 

Ughh I HATE planes! I groaned and stuffed a pillow in my face. Becca: "It'll be alright, Mels.. Just 4 more hours." I glared at her. Becca: "Sorry, sorry.. Just tryna help." I sighed. Me: "I feel awful.. My head hurts, my arm hurts, and my heart hurts." My eyes wandered over to Justin, who was in the row next to ours. He was asleep, but slightly smiling. Of course he was happy. We're going to Japan. Heated toilet seats and ninjas. Becca: "ANYWAY, stop staring at Justin. It's creepy." I stuck my tongue out and let my head fall onto the pillow in my lap. "Ughhh..."

"JAPAN!" Chaz yelled with MariCris. Oh my goshh... Even now, in a hotel, they'd scream as loud as they could. And we were in the lobby. Pattie: "Alright, there's gonna be three in one room, and the rest of you, two to a room, so-" Chaz: "I pick MariCris!" And vice versa. Maddy: "I call Roxy and Tori!" Ryan chose Becca.. Oooh lala. I looked around. Justin was the only one left. "Um... I, uh.." Pattie mouth "sorry." But I think that was her plan all along...

We settled in silently, awkwardness floating around the air. I wanted to leave this room so I changed into one of the outfits for the show. "Where are you going?" Justin raised his eyebrows when I walked out of the bathroom. "Out." I replied, grabbing my phone. Justin: "At 7 o'clock in the evening?" I nodded. "Yah." He jumped up. Justin: "Something could happen to you," He tried. Me: "And? Why... Would you care?" I pushed pass him but he blocked the door. Justin: "I," He sighs. "Well, you're still a friend to me, Mels. I don't want anything to happen to you." Me: "Oh so NOW you actually care about me?" He scrunches up his face. Justin: "What's that supposed to mean?" Me: "What do you THINK it means?" I tried to go past him. Justin: "Mels what are you saying? I've always cared about you.." Me: "Don't even start Justin. Did you care about me when you told me you didn't love me anymore? Did you care about me when I spent countless hours crying my eyes out? Did you care about me when you kissed MariCris?!" 

Justin's Pov ♥ 

I was taken back at that last one. "You.. knew?" She scoffs. Melani: "Of course I know, Justin! She's my best friend. Why wouldn't she tell me?" She tried to pass me by again but I held my ground. Me: "Melani, look, I care about you. And your safety, okay? I don't want you out at 7, walking around some place you've never been to." Melani: "I can go wherever the hell I want." She said, anger bubbling up along with hot tears. She pushed me out of the way and walked out of the room. "Fine! See if I fucking care!" I yelled after her. She held up the middle finger. Even now, when we're not even together, we have a stupid fight. I sighed and leaned against the wall. I DO care...
