Why Try

Chapter 18

I can't believe what happened a few hours ago. After trying to apologise to Justin and explain I eventually gave up. My heart physically hurts. I don't think I can cry anymore and I'm now lay in bed trying to think of a way to get through to Justin. I've tried calling and texting him but he hasn't picked up and he's just reading my texts and not replying which is pissing me off. We haven't broke up, I'm not letting him break up with me for a shitty reason like this. My phone began to ring, my heart started to beat faster. I looked who was calling and face dropped but I was still smiling seeing Madison was calling, what does she want at three AM. I pressed the green button and put my phone to my ear.
"Hey babe"
"hi" I said as my voice began to go weird. I'm fine on my own but when someone asks me if I'm okay, I just start crying. "Erm, are you okay ari?" Great. Tears starting sliding down my cheeks "no...where are you?"
"In the taxi with Hailey. We are going to my house, I just wanted to see if you were okay because how quick you left earlier"
"I need you guys. Come here please" I began to sob down the phone as I heard Madison on the other line telling the driver to turn around.
"We will be there soon, everything's gonna be alright".
The line went dead, I need my friends.

I got out of bed to get some water. As I made my way into the kitchen, I heard the door knock. I opened it and Madison and Hailey threw their arms around me and I started crying.
"It's okay" Hailey said and patted my back.
"Lets go in the living room" Madison suggested.
"So what's up?"
"Justin called me when I was at the party and told me to go and see him at his house so I did and when I got there, his mood was awful. He had an attitude and then he pulled his phone out and shown me a picture of me and Mac at the party. I had my hand on his thigh. Yeah it did look bad but he wouldn't let me explain. He then said that we aren't working and then told me to leave..I don't want to lose him" I said wiping my tears from my eyes. Their faces were shocked.
"He can't end things like that. That's not fair!!" Hailey said moving in her seat. I looked down to my feet and I began thinking. He can't just say we aren't working and then me be like
"okay bye" no that's not how I work. If I love something, I will fight for it. I don't give a shit if it's past three AM right now but I'm gonna make sure he knows I'm not giving up on this. I stood up from my seat and began walking into my bedroom.
"Where are you going?" Madison asked. "I'm not gonna sit here and let things get worse between us. I'm going to Justin's house, I'm gonna explain myself and get through to him. Thankyou guys for coming and letting me see sense. I feel so much better. I love you both."
I put on some sweatpants and my orange camo Fenty's. I picked up my phone and bag
"come on, I'll drop you guys off on the way." We all left and got into my car. I hope this boy sees sense.
