"I didn't know he was dating her,"

JUSTIN'S POV

I gripped my hands against the steering wheel as I drove down the high way, the sound of PnB Rock blasting through the stereo as the wind from the window blew threw my hair. To say that I was frustrated would be an understatement. I was pissed, I was furious. Not only was my girlfriend pushing me away but my idiots co-workers didn't know how to do their fucking job so I had to drive all the way out to Toronto. I had to leave my girlfriend who I knew would end up calling me to cuddle with her to help these boys do what they should know how to do.

As for Victoria... I didn't know what her problem was. I knew that her best friend had betrayed her by sleeping with Simon, but even I knew that. I knew that all along but I didn't want to hurt her. I didn't want to hurt the relationship we were building. She probably wouldn't have believed me if I told her anyway. It was always best if she found out by someone other than me.

I didn't want Victoria to ever get hurt, not by anyone and it hurt my heart that she was pushing me away at a time she needed someone the most. Knowing her she was going to cry all weekend long. She didn't really want to be alone. If the situation I'm in didn't come up I would probably be climbing through her window with chocolate to cuddle with her all day long. That's how much I love her. I have never loved someone in such a short amount of time like I did with her. I feel hard fast and never loved anyone like I did her.

None of my past relationships mattered to me as much mine did now. No one ever captured my heart like she did, not even Felicity. I loved Felicity and I love what we created, but I look back and realize that it wasn't real love with her. I was infatuated with the thought of being with someone as beautiful as Felicity, but being with someone as gorgeous as Victoria it changed my perspective. She was beautiful on the inside and outside. She was different. I just hoped that everything worked in my favor just this once... Relationships always failed because of something I didn't say or do.

I stopped thinking as I realized I had pulled up to the giant warehouse. I must have been so caught up in my thoughts that I didn't realize I was here. I pulled my car up to the front doors, turning down my radio and taking my keys out of the ignition. I stepped out of the car, slamming the door shut behind me and nodded my head at the two guards before they let me in. I was instantly hit with the sound of machines working and music blasting through the place. No wonder these fucking idiots couldn't package anything right.

I walked past all the people working on the machines, some of them stopping and staring at me in awe. I chuckled at the thought. It wasn't my fault I was attractive. I ignored them, however, and walked to the back room where I unplugged the stereo system, hearing a series of "what the fuck"s being shouted from the room. I shook my head and ignored the idiots once again, coming out of the room and standing in place as they all turned toward me realizing just who I am.

"So..." I said through the room, my voice echoing through the walls. "I had to travel all the way to Toronto... Almost 4 hours away from where I live to come here and tell you all how to package correctly?"

Silence. That was all I heard as I looked through the building, watching as everyone just stayed put in their place, the machines buzzing behind them and scared looks hiding behind their face masks.

"I shouldn't have to come here to teach you how to do your job," I shouted through the room, anger starting to wave through my body as I started taking slow steps to the center of the room. "I should only have to come here if I am making a deal. Not to show you how package and distribute the drugs that make a living for you. For us all."
