11: I'm sorry

I can't run anymore. So I just stop and climb up a tree and lean on a branch thinking. Why was he smoking? Was it because Joey kissed me? I didn't think he would ever start smoking! That better be the first and last time.

"Anna!? Anna where are you?" I hear Justin yelling. I wish my sobbing wasn't so loud! Justin can hear me and is looking up in the trees as he runs down the path.

He gets closer and closer to my tree and I start crying even harder. He is so mad at me and I'm really upset. What if he is coming to breakup with me.

My sobs were so loud that I didn't even realize Justin was climbing up the tree.

"Hey, can I talk to you?" He asks me quietly.

"It depends... are you breaking up with me?" I quiety choke out the last part.

"No! I was just upset. And I don't smoke! That was only a one time thing. Chaz and Ryan said that it was good way to relieve stress and I believed them. But I hate it! I'm not a smoker and it will never happen again. I'm sorry."

"I understand. And you don't need to be sorry. I'm sorry. I never should have let him kiss me. I have no romantic feelings towards Joey. You are the one I have romantic feelings for. "I take a deep breath, "You are the one I love."

He smiles and says "I love you to." I lean in and place my lips to his as he starts to move his lips in sync with mine. After a few seconds he pulls away and rests his forehead on mine staring into my eyes. We just sit there for a while like that.

"Come on, we should probably go. Do you want to come back over to my house or go to yours?" He asks.

"Let's go to my house its right over there." I say pointing in my houses direction as Justin jumps down.

I grip a branch with my legs and swing my body and arms down so I'm upside down. Justin walks over to me and pecks me on the lips then helps me down.

"You do forgive me right?" I ask him as I grab his hand and our fingers are entwined.

"Of course, I completely understand." he tells me and I smile to myself. I'm glad he trusts me.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

When we get top my house I run up the stairs with Justin chasing me. I jump ontoh my bed and Justin hops down beside me and starts tickling me like crazy. I laugh until my stomach hurts and I'm begging him to stop. When I finally get out of his grasp I turn my back to him jokingly.

"Anna?" He asks.

"Nope." I answer flatly.

He tries to grab my hand but I pull away witha smirk on my face. He just stops trying and sighs. Out of nowhere I lunge ontop of him and start laughing with him.

"I was only joking!" I say through giggles.

"Don't do that again." he says with a frown.

"I'm sowwy. I luff you." I tell him in my best baby voice as I slowly lean forward to kiss him. I was moving too slow so Justin just grabs my waist and pulls me ontop of him and we start to kiss. This time it was different, more passionate. We were moving perfectly in sync and it was just a really perfect moment. His tounge glids across my bottom lip but I'm not ready for that just yet. I don't open my mouth but I still keep our kiss passionate. When we both pull away, we just sit there in the perfect moment. 

I break the silence when I hear my stomach grumble and I ask if he wants a snack. Justin nodds and we head down the stairs into the kitchen.

"Popcorn?" He asks as he raids my cupboards and pulls out a package of buttery popcorn.

"Yes! I love popcorn!" I say as I grab a bowl and he pops it in the microwave.

"It's a good thing my mom works until 6 'cause she would not be happy that I'm skipping school."

"Ya same, but I'm kind of glad I stayed here with you, It's a lot more interesting, plus I really needed to talk to you."

"Ya, I'm glad that you believe me. I'm also glad that I told you and you didn't hear some stupid rumor." I say truthfully.

He leans in and starts kissing me passionately like before. I deepen the kiss and wrap my arms around his neck.

*BEEP BEEP BEEP*

The popcron finishes and we jump at the sudden noise sperating our kiss.

As Justin pours the popcorn into the bowl and grabs napkins.

"I'll go grab two coke's! Then meet me back in the living room and we can watch t.v." I tell him and run downstairs to the cellar.

Afew minutes later we are on the couch eating our popcorn and watching t.v. I'm cuddled up next to him with my head resting in his shoulder and his arm around me pulling me close.

"Never do that again. Ok?" I say breaking the silence once again. 

"Do what?" He says a little confused. 

"Smoke." I say simply, "Never smoke again. It could kill you and I don't want to see you leave me. It could also affect your singing maybe." 

"My singing? How so?" He smirks.

"I don't know, I just wanted to bring it up. I was watching your videos on youtube last night. They are amazing. I'm suprised you haven't got a record deal or something yet."

"Actually, I wanted to tell you something along that line. I was going to wait until I took you on a real date but I guess this would be a good time to tell you, or ask you. There is this man named Scooter Braun, and he wants me to make a demo tape in Atlanta, Georgia. My mom said it was okay if you wanted to come... Do you want to?"

"Oh my gosh! Justin that is amazing!" I say as I hug him. When I pull away I continue, "I would love to, but I don't know what my mom would say. I will ask her tonight and I'll tell you tomorrow. 

"Okay, I think I have to go now, school is almost out so my mom will probably be expecting that I'm home soon, I have to call her everyday when I get home." He says as helps me up and we walk to the front door. 

"I had a great time today, but we need to go back to school tomorrow."

"Yeah its a bummer, I like spending the day with you. Can I walk to school with you tomorrow?" He asks me, hopefully. 

"Of course." I tell him, pulling him into another hug. "I'm so proud of you." I whisper in his ear.

"Thanks, I love you." He says as he pulls away and shortly after he gives me a peck on the lips. 

"I love you to." I say smiling, "Bye."

Hey guys,

I hope you like this chapter even though I was having some writers block while doing it :/ I made it one day early because I was bored and you guys deserve it :)

You may have seen that "The Arena" is on hold, thats just because I'm having a hard time trying to express what I wanted to happen. I will try to work on it but I may just end up stopping it all together. 

thanks for reading :)
