Without The Love ||Jiley||

Chapter 6

Justin stands a few yards away from us, Taylor turns around and grins at Justin. "Let her go, Taylor." He orders him but Taylor still holds me tight against him. I feel my blood rushing through my veins when Justin steps towards him and smacks him on his jaw. He stumbles and collapses on the floor. "Fucker." Taylor says and rubs over his head. I lay on the floor, I feel everything's starting to get blurry and I'm struggeling to keep my eyes open. I see Justin kicks him in his side once again and he lays on the floor, gagging and coughing strings of red liquid. Justin kneels down and looks at me. "Miley, can you see me?" He says but I can't hear his voice clear, it's like every sound is muted. He waves with his hand in front of my face and I blink again. He puts his arms around my waist and helps me up. Katy stumbles to us and gasps. "Oh my god, what happened?" She asks and looks at me, helping me stand straight. "Go get some water for her, I'll take her outside." He says, their voices still muted. Katy looks at Taylor who's still on the floor and raises her eyebrow up. "Don't you ever, ever touch her or anyone again." She hisses and walks away with us. He puts my left arm over his shoulder so I can push myself up. We wankle down the stairs, people are staring at us for a couple of seconds, and then turning back with what they were doing. I see Chanel still sitting on the couch and she looks like she's enjoying that I'm feeling miserable and hopeless. Justin opens the door with his other hand and we sit down on a bench in front of the porch. He sits me down and I lean against him, my head on his shoulder. Katy comes back with a glass of water and hands it to me. I grab the glass and take a sip. "I'll stay with her." Justin says and I can hear everything clear again.

"What happened?" He asks me and I sit straight up. My hands rest on my lap with my glass in my hand. "I.. I don't know. I sat against the wall and then Taylor came and started to force me and stuff." I say and stare at the street light. The bright light calmes me down and I take a deep breath. I'm already feeling better now. Justin nods and sighs. "I'm sorry." He says and turns to me. For what? For making me feel worthless? What am I even doing here with him? "I'm sorry for kissing with Chanel, and telling her that I didn't like you." He says and sucks his lips inside of his mouth. So he did tell her he didn't like me? "But why? I can't tell what you're feeling for me right now." I say and push the urge to cry away. "I.. I told her that so I didn't lose her. And at that time you were still dating with Liam." He says and sighs. I take another sip from the glass. Liam.. his name is haunting me ever since that fight in his car. "You know, I gave everything up for you, my boyfriend, my parent's trust by going to this party with you and myself." I say and look into his eyes. I sniff and feel the tears coming up again. "I get that, but you told me a few days ago that you're seeing me as just a friend. That effected me and my decisions too." He says and blinks. I can't think of something to say back, so I just sit and stare in front of me.

Without noticing, a tear rolls down my cheek and falls on the back of my hand. My dress has stains all over it and looks terrible. I bow down and take my heels off, they were starting to cause pain. I put them beside me on the bench and sniff again. How did I end up this way? This isn't the real me? Drinking and looking like some kind of whore and going to parties. I need to think of college and do my homework. "Don't cry, I'm here for you now." He says and a spark ignites in my heart. He lays his hand on my thigh. This was exactly what I needed to hear, that he's here for me. But I'm not gonna give in that quickly. Justin stands up and sticks his hand out to me. "You coming with me?" He says and looks devastated. "No." I say shortly and look away with a bitter expression on my face. "I'm not leaving without you." He says and puts his arms down. "I wanna go home, I'm gonna find Katy." I say to him and stand up without any trouble. I open the door and see that Justin follows me. I search through the crowd but she's nowhere to be found. I pull my phone out of my purse and dail her number. She doesn't pick up. Hopelessly I walk to Ariana and ask where she is. "She went home with Jessie." She says and drinks her cup empty. "Fuck." I curse and rub with my hands over my forehead. How could she do this to me? I got nowhere else to sleep or go. I walk back outside and sit down on the railing of the porch, the bench is already occupied by a couple sitting on it, drinking from a bottle. I bow my head down and rest it on my arms. Without any reason I start crying, why am I so emotional all the time? Before I moved out I never cried.. or must I say, never had a reason to cry. Justin sits down next to me and strikes over my back with his hand. "I could bring you home if you want to." He says on a calm tone and I shake my head. "My parents are gonna kill me if they see me in this outfit, brought home by a boy, at this time." I say and wipe my tears. I feel so awfully miserable, it's like every single piece is dying inside of me. There's no use to stay here. Tiny rain drops start to fall down on my lap and I look up. It's starting to rain. Great, this makes this night even more horrible than it already was. "You could sleep at my place? My parents aren't home anyway." Justin says and I turn my head to him. That actually is a good idea, eventhough I want to deny it I'll have to accept his offer. I got nowhere else to go. I still can't believe Katy just left me here, she knows I was staying over at her place. "Thank you." I softly say and give him a slight smile. "C'mon." He says and helps me off the railing. We walk together to his car and step inside. The rain starts to go worse and I look at the drops rolling down on the front window as Justin starts the car. His face turns to me as he bows over, closer to mine. Eith a gentle touch he wipes away the black stains of make up on my face. He clears his throat and turns the heat on. It's 2:15 am. Can't believe it's already that late. It feels like I've only been here for 30 minutes. I lay my head down against the headrest and close my eyes. My eyelids are so heavy it almost hurts to open them. Justin drives away from the place and silence fills the car. I feel my heart beating slowly, I sink away in my thoughts about what happened this night and where I ended. The picture of Justin and Chanel still haunts me everytime I look at him. I didn't notice I was staring at him till he turns his head and smiles. "What?" He says and focusses on the road again. "Nothing." I smile and turn my head to the window again. The water drops race down the window and I follow them.
