Just Friends

Chapter 24

Chapter 24.

I felt the sun pour over me and my eyes flickered open, wishing I could sleep for a while. It was already one in the afternoon and I'd just been sitting in bed all day. I probably looked horrible at the moment considering I hadn't got any sleep and I hadn't brushed my hair. Everything from the previous night came rushing into my memory and I quietly sighed. Was I too hard on Justin? My thoughts were interrupted when Liz pushed open the door and pulled the covers off me.

"Ariana? Why?" She said falling on the end of the bed.

"What?"

"I heard about you and Justin. Ariana, he's beating himself up. This was something that happened three months ago and I know that you guys had a thing. It was in the past and we both know, he's changed. He's been nothing but good to you and I don't want you to throw all this away. It's something that you wanted for a long time and you finally have it and you're messing it up." She said, her voice running fast.

"I know- I get that. But he slept with another girl when he was sleeping with me, Liz. That hurts."

She sighed once again and came forward, grabbing ahold of my hands and I shook my head looking away, my eyes filling up with tears as I thought about it.

"Ariana, I know you're going to hate me for this, but I brought Justin with me. I'm going to go and he's going to stay."

My eyes widened as soon as she said that he was here. How could she bring him? Shit. What am I going to do? I don't want to see him, or even talk to him. If she really wanted me to talk to him, she may as well of told me. "Liz! What the hell?" I cried out to her and she slightly laughed.

"Bye dear." She called as she walked out of the room.

I ran to the bathroom looking at myself in the mirror. I didn't look as bad as I thought I would've of but I felt myself panicking. I sat down on the floor and sighed, running a hand through my long hair. I don't think I can go out there. I can't. I heard the door in my bedroom being opened and it was obviously Justin.

Ge the fuck out there, Ariana.

I slowly got up and opened the door to find Justin sitting on the bed on his phone. His beautiful eyes lifted from the phone and on to me and I folded my arms across my stomach, looking away.

"Hey." Was all I could say as all his attention was on me.

"We need to talk about last night." He said as he ran a hand through his hair and rested his head in his hands.

"I know." I replied quietly as I made my over and sat down on the bed, not close or not far from him.

"Are you angry?"

"No." I replied, as I pulled some hair out of my face.

"You're not?"

"I'm hurt. Justin, I don't think you get it. I always told you I was insecure about you using me for sex and it really feels like you fucking did right now."

"I understand that, but I wasn't using you. When I was with you, everything felt real. With the other girls, it felt, I don't know. It felt like nothing and with you, it was perfect. Everything with you is perfect." He said before sighing.

I bit my thumb as I tried to stop myself from feeling sorry for him. Should I be angry at him? It was three, nearly four months ago.

He's changed.

Justin loves you and you love him. Why are you so angry?

I shut my eyes, opening them a second later and looked at him, his eyes were on me and all I wanted to do was kiss him. Why did he always look so kissable that'd I have to make myself look away.
