Fools Fall In Love

Chapter 8

Justin's POV

 Selena called me last night after I got home from Ariana's house. She kept going on and on about how she was sorry and she missed me, and I felt sympathy for her, because we both messed things up and she was crying. You know I hate it when girls cry. But maybe this break up between me and her was a good thing. I wanted to make it right, but she kept pushing me away, and telling me she wanted to be single for a while, so I took advantage of that. I fell in love with her the first time I saw her, but after 2 years, I guess her feelings changed, and mine have too. Even though she was my first love, it's time for me to move on to someone who can show me what they feel for me, someone who will treat me like I treat them, someone I can spoil by buying them things and treating them to nice dinners and special treats, someone that I really connect with. I did with Selena, but now I've taken a huge fall for a beautiful red head named Ariana Grande.

Ariana is just so cute. The way she laughs. The way she looks at me, her style, her voice, it's like I never noticed so much at one time about a certain person. I'm pretty sure I really want to be with her, but she hasn't brought any of this up to her boyfriend, and I'm still curious if she still has feelings for him, which I can understand if she does, that's her first love, just like Sel was mine. I wonder how far things will go with Ari and I, or if they will even go anywhere at all. I mean, we never officially said "okay we're dating" because things just don't happen like that. Things need time when people like her aren't officially single like me.

I'm going to take a visit at Ariana's and see what's up, and if she told him anything, then I have to deal with telling Sel. I walked outside, in the warm weather, it was actually a nice day today. I got in my car and made my way to her house. When I got there, she was walking out the door, looking really depressed. I jumped out of my car as fast as I could. "Ariana!" I shouted. She jumped as I startled her. "Oh, Justin!" she balled into tears and ran to me and had given me the biggest hug I've ever had. I had my arms around her waist, and I pulled her slightly off of me with my grip still around her. "What's wrong? Why do you look so sad?" I asked. Again, I hate seeing girls cry. All I wanna do is make her feel better. She looked in my eyes, and started to cry a little bit more. "Uh, Jai just came by. I explained to him what happened and my feelings for you." "He got mad..and things happened, and he walked out slamming my door." she said. "Whoa whoa..wait." I said lost in confusion. "What do you mean, "things happened"?"

It took her a while to even talk about what happened. I was wondering why she was covered in long sleeve shirt, when it's 85 degrees outside. It didn't make sense. She looked at me, and slowly pulled up her sleeve. I was just confused on what's going on. I saw a bruise, on her arm, the size of a quarter. My eyes widened. "Ariana, what the hell happened to you!" I screamed, slowly rubbing my fingers on the mark that's on her arm. She looked down in disappointment. "He happened. He got mad that I said I had feelings for you because he was always the jealous type, and he grabbed my arm and slung me down." she said stuttering in her own words, tears flowing down her face. Which led me to another red mark that was on her head. It ended up being a cut from hitting the table. Boy I'm so pissed right now. I looked in Ariana's eyes, and hugged her tightly and whispered to her. "You don't deserve that. And he doesn't deserve a beautiful girl like you. No girl ever deserves to be hit on like that, and I'm gonna show him." I gripped my hands on her face, gently rubbing her cheek and licked my lips, getting ready to make a move. I slowly kissed her. Her soft lips, that taste so wonderful. Then I kissed her arm, and her head, and whispered in her ear. "Everything's gonna be alright, princess."

Ariana's POV

Yesterday, when Justin kissed me, it was truly amazing, and it's all I've been thinking about for the past 24 hours. It's like something ran straight through me, something I've never experienced before. I just loved the feeling of his lips, softly rubbing up against mine. You know what though? I haven't brought this up to Jai yet. I need to tell him what I'm feeling.

I called Jai over. "Hey, come over. I need to talk to you." I said bluntly. "Okay?" he said questioning me, then he hung up and I guess made his way over here. I was pacing around the table for 15 minutes thinking about how he's going to take it, and how I'm going to explain it. Do you know how hard it is to break up with a person you once loved? Or to tell the person you once loved that you have feelings for your fool of a best friend? Yeah, it's not easy. Soon after, Jai just walked through the door. "Oh hey." I said looking at the floor. He got a weird look on his face. "Why can't you look at me?" he said. This is gonna be so hard. I thought to myself. "Because, just listen. I know you've been giving me time to think about things, and there's something I gotta tell you." I said, being shy, because of my fear of telling him. "Well, tell me already" he said, getting angry. "I do have a lot of feelings for Justin, and I -" and before I could finish my sentence, there I was, laying on the floor, my arm hurting, my head bleeding. I bursted in to tears, screaming at him.

He lifted me off the floor. "Ariana..I'm so sorry" he said stuttering. "No!" I shouted. "Get the hell out!" And just like that he slammed the door as he made his way out. I stood up and made my way to the couch. I looked up to the ceiling and asked. "God, what did I do to deserve this?" I don't know why he bugged out like that. I've never seen that side of him before. I never even knew he would do anything like that at all. I just kept crying and I couldn't stop. I went through 2 boxes of tissues. Maybe I need to walk it off. I went outside and as I opened the door, Justin's car was in my driveway.

He shouted my name and walked up to me. He held me tightly and I explained to him what happened. He was just in shock. I guess because he didn't think that would happen. He told me how Jai doesn't deserve me, and how I didn't deserve what happened to me, and that he was going to make things better. I could tell by the look on his face that he was extrememly mad about what "the great Jai Brooks" did to me. All I wanted was someone to comfort me, and Justin was there. He was actually the one person I was probably in the mood to see. If it had been anyone else, I would have told them to just leave me alone. Justin looked at me, leaned in and kissed my lips. I love the feeling of his lips touching mine, the tingly feeling I get when he kisses me. The butterflies I get in my stomach. It was amazing. I had forgot for a split second about everything that happened. He kissed my bruise on my arm, and the scratch on my head. I've never felt so special before.

Maybe everything happens for a reason and it's God's way of telling me to go to Justin, and to be with him. He has a plan for me, I just gotta figure out what it is. Justin held me again tightly, hugging me and whispered in my ear. "Everything's gonna be alright, princess." I'm his princess. I can't believe my feelings right now. Not even Jai had the nerve to call me princess. Justin was my prince charming, and I couldn't let go. Not now.
