Be Alright

Part 2

His eyes are so dreamy, like hot chocolate on a cold day.

He smiled.

"Some of my fans are giving up on me."

"Your beliebers?"

"No, there's a fine line between fans and beliebers. Fans like me for my outside and have a possibility of giving up on me some day. Beliebers on the other hand, love me inside out. They will never give up on me. Well I'm gonna take a shower you can go look around if you want."

I nodded and watched him leave. I thought of his words, "they love me inside out."

"I wish somebody loved me." I said quietly, then hugged my knees and buried my face into my legs. I silently cried, but it was louder than ever inside me. What did I do to deserve to be unloved? I wiped my cheeks and then rested my chin on my knees. The sun shone through the window and warmed up my cold shoulders. I stood up and walked to the porch where there were steps to the front yard. I sat on them and it warmed me up. It felt cold but warm at the same time. It was nice. I heard someone come up behind me and I quickly looked back. It was just Justin. He was shirtless with swimming shorts on.

"Wanna swim?" He asked, as if we'd known each other for a long time.

"I don't have a swimsuit..."

"I'm sure Anna will lend you one."

"Wait, there's a girl here?"

"Actually there's two, a girl named Skylar is here too."

"Okay."

"Come on," he grabbed my hand and helped me up. "Let's go meet my friends."

We ran to them, hand in hand. I heard gasps.

"A-Are you guys dating?" asked a girl with ombré brown and blonde hair.

"N-" Justin was cut off by a cute boy, but not as cute as Justin.

"I thought you weren't going to date because of Selena breaking your heart."

"Well-" Justin was cut off again by a girl with light pink hair.

"Selena's gonna get so jelly."

"Let me talk," yelled Justin, letting go of my hand. "We aren't dating, I saved her from that maniac in the apartments."

"Aw..." They all whined.

"Well not yet," Justin mumbled.

Everybody smirked as I blushed.

"Um Anna can..."

"Can, what?"

"I guess I forgot to ask your name?"

"Oh I'm Ashley," I said, feeling bad I hadn't told him until just now.

"Can you get Ashley a swimsuit? Because we're all going swimming aren't we?"

"No problem." I followed them upstairs and she gave me a pink bikini with white polk-a-dots.

I'd never worn a bikini before because I'm so self conscious about my body. I hesitated before taking off my shorts.

"Oh, right said Anna. She gestured Skylar to look away and they did. I thought, "much better," and got dressed the rest of the way.

"I'm done," I told them, nervous for them to look at me.

"Wholly shit! You look great in a bikini, I'm totally jealous," said Anna.

"Really?"

"No joke you look great," said Skylar.

"Oh, thanks," I blushed.

"So," Anna said as we were walking to the stairs, "do you have a boyfriend?" I shook my head.

"I've only had one but he moved away two months ago. We had a long distance relationship but I found out he cheated on me when he moved. His name was Trevor."

"Boys can be retards," said Skylar. "It seems like Justin really likes you though. Usually he doesn't save someone if there's a policeman in the house."

"Really?"

"I'm serious he told us he might go to jail for accusation of kidnap."

"Wow he risked going to jail just so that I wouldn't die?"

"Yeah and I'm surprised he is even making eye contact with girls because of Selena," said Anna.

---Justin's POV---

I got worried about Ashley so I went into the cabin and saw the girls but all I could focus on was Ashley. She had the perfect body for that suit. I stood there, staring at her. Then I felt like a freak so I snapped out of it and said "we've put an umbrella above some blankets just in case you wanted to read some magazines or anything."

"Aw thanks Justin," said Anna.

"You're welcome but it was Chaz's idea."

"Of course it was," Skylar laughed.

We all headed out the door and saw the boys playing beach volleyball.

"Girls against boys?"

"That's not fair there's 5 boys and 3 girls," said Anna.

"Yeah but Chaz isn't much of a guy though," I said loud enough for Chaz to hear.

"I heard that!"

"I know you were supposed to!"

---Ashley's POV---

Justin's laugh is so adorable it makes me smile. That reminded me of one of his songs.

"You smile, I smile. Whenever, you smile, I smile," I sang, not meaning to do it out loud. Justin started singing along with me. I laughed and started blushing.

"You have a great voice," Justin said.

"I'm nothing compared to you but thanks."

He smiled and we divided into teams for volleyball. What they don't know is I'm on varsity and we went to state every year.

Our team was serving first and I was position one. I tossed the ball perfectly in the air and then served it hard, almost hitting Justin in the face but he bumped it. Then another boy set and a spike came all the way to me. I bumped it to Chaz who was setter and Ali tipped it and the boys didn't get it. We celebrated our point and I got ready to serve again. All of a sudden my phone started to ring right when I tossed the ball.

"Is that yours?" Justin asked.

"Yeah I'll be right back." The caller ID said "Emergency." I answered it immediately.

"Hello?"

"Is this Ashley?"

"Yes."

"Your mom is in the hospital because of severe stomach aches-"

"Good for her," I said and then hung up. I tossed the ball to serve again and it just barely made it over. One of the guys spiked it and I thought it was out so I didn't go for it but it wasn't. The boys celebrated their point

---15 minutes after volleyball---

"Hey guys it's getting really hot out here let's get in the water now," said Justin.

"Sure," we all agreed. As I was going to the water I stopped, remembering the time I almost got washed out.

Justin came over and asked, "Are you okay?"
