One Less Lonely Girl

Chapter 9~ Hysterics

I'm cleaning my room with Brianna. Lacey is in her room crying. She went into hysterics halfway into cleaning. She started laughing, then crying, and then totally lost it. Mom sent her to her room, and the rest of us cleaned more. The house has never been cleaner. It's 12:45 now, 15 more minutes till Justin is supposed to be here. Brianna and I are thinking of things to do with him, and have come up with nothing. It's really hard, cause even tough we know him so well, we can't figure out what he likes to do with friends. Besides skateboarding, which I suck at. I love to sing, but I mean, that's his job. We know that our family will want pics, so we will do that for a little bit. I start to pant as I clean up my desk. I start to laugh. Oh no. "Not you too." Brianna groans. She pinches me. "Ouch!!" I stop my laughing fit. "You almost turned out like Lacey," she says to me. "Thanks for stopping me. I just can't believe this is reality." I shake my head. We continue cleaning. 5 minutes later, we hear the doorbell ring. Brianna, Lacey, and I all shriek. We sprint down the stairs, and go to open the doors. Mom and Dad rush over, Mom holding her phone, recording the whole thing. They are both smiling, and Mom has tears in her eyes. Lacey reaches for the door, then stops. "You should be the one to open it Aus." she looks at me. I smile. I reach for the handle, and open the door. I see Justin in a grey hoodie that covers his head so no one can recognize him. He smiles at me, I smile back. "Come in!!" I gesture inside my house. He quickly enters, and Lacey shrieks. I see his bodyguard Moshe get out of his car, and he walks towards our house. I tell him to come inside as well. "Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Delaney. I think you all know by know that Justin and Austra have connections with each other. When Justin is with you, his safety and care falls into your hands. I hate to have to put you in charge of him, but that's the way it is. While he is with you, you must not go into public without telling me, for I must be there with him. You may go outside on your property, because it is trespassing if anyone enters your land without your permission. If you are in the neighborhood, Justin must wear his hoodie, because it shields his face. You have the right to deny any photo request, autograph, and meet and greets with fans if you encounter any. I would advise it, for security and other reasons. I would like to talk to Mr. and Mrs. Delaney alone for a moment. Does everyone understand what I just told you?" Moshe finishes. We all nod. My parents lead Moshe into the kitchen, and we are alone.

Lacey screams after the parents leave, and hugs Justin. He hugs her back. "GET MY PHONE AND TAKE A PICTURE!!!" I do as she says. We take pics for 15 minutes, then Moshe returns with the parents. "Your parents know everything about anything there is to know about hangouts with Justin. Justin, text me when you would like me to pick you up." Moshe shake hands with Dad, nods at us kids, then leaves. "Welcome to our house Justin!!" Mom walks over and gives him a big hug. "Make yourself at home, sweetie!!" Mom smiles. "Thanks so much Mrs.Delaney! I have no one to be with for the next few days, and Austra and Brianna are the only people I know around here. I'm so happy to be here." He gestures around the room. Dad shakes his hand. "Thank you for giving my daughter the best night of her life, we really appreciate it." Justin looks at me."Oh, no problem. She doesn't deserve any less, she really is amazing." He looks at me, then reaches out and grabs my hand. I squeal, then hug him. Mom snaps a pic. I look at Brianna. For just a split second, I see her face twist in jealousy, then returns to normal when she sees me looking at her. "Hey Mom. Why don't you get a few pictures of Brianna and Justin, and send them to Mrs. Ware?"  I suggest. "Of course!!" Brianna and Justin take a few pics, and send them to her mom. "I'll let you kids go hang now, and I'll make you a snack, sound good?" We nod, and give Justin a tour of the house.

 We decide to go in the basement. Justin runs right to the huge toy closet we have, and pulls out one of my older brother's nerf guns. "Let's do a nerf war!!" He shouts in excitement. He finds that the gun is loaded, and shoots us with it. Brianna and I shriek and search for cover. He runs out of bullets, and goes to get them back. It is every man for himself, and we get our bases and supplies ready. The first round lasts about 30-45 minutes, and I am the winner. Justin was roasted during the game. He kept laughing and making noises whenever he tried to hide, so we always found him and shot him down. We played another round, and this one lasted 10 minutes. Justin won, he shot us down right away over and over again. He ran around the basement singing "We are the champions." Except he changed the "we" to an "I". Brianna and I were laughing so hard that we fell over. We played a random game where Justin ran around with his hoodie on his head, and the girls had to try and grab it. He is such a goofball. Mom calls us upstairs to eat a snack. It is 4:30. Mom made chocolate chip cookies. Mom only lets us eat 1, because we still need dinner. We decide to order pizza, and Mom will make a salad. "Is Brianna going to stay over again?" Mom asks. "My mom wants me home tonight" Brianna answers. "Ok, just tell her you are eating with us." Mom says. Brianna texts her mom back. We get some soda, then head downstairs again. It is 5:00. Justin wants to watch a movie. We look on Netflix, and through all our movies. We finally decide on Justin's favorite movie, "The Notebook." We started the movie at 5:30, cause we took so long to decide. I sit down on my favorite couch, and Justin sits next to me. There isn't enough room for 3 people, so Brianna sits on the other couch nearest to us. We turn off the lights, and the trailers starts. Brianna has her own blanket, and Justin and I are sharing one. The actual movie starts. Justin wraps his arm around me, and I rest my head on his shoulder. We stay like that for a bit, then I hear Brianna shift. I pick up my head, and I see her glaring at me. She looks away, and then looks at the screen. I rest my head back on his shoulder.

The famous kissing in the rain scene is coming up. I have my legs curled on the couch, and I am leaning into Justin. He has his arms wrapped around me, and rests his head on top of mine. The scene comes up, and I sigh. I love love, if that makes sense. Justin lifts up his head and looks at me. He leans forward, and so do I. Our lips are barely inches from each other, when my phone rings. I curse to myself. I got a text from my best friend, who is also my cousin, Matthew. "Hey. I saw u on Tv, that was so cool. Can you FaceTime?" I also got a text from my mom, from an hour ago. "Dinner is ready!!" I sigh. I replay back to Matthew, and tell him we can hang tomorrow. I tell mo that we are watching a movie. I put away my phone. The scene has ended, and the moment was over. I return to my position. Justin kisses me on my head. I smile. I hear him mutter under his breath "One day, I will kiss you." The movie ends, and we head upstairs. We eat, then Brianna's mom picks her up. Justin texts Moshe, and soon he leaves. "Thanks for an amazing day." He says as he grabs my hands. "I need to see you before I leave." He opens the door. "Ok. I'll hopefully see you soon." I smile back at him. He shuts the door, and I watch him leave. I kiss Mom goodnight, and head upstairs to bed.
