Crash ~Justin Bieber~

Chapter 22 ~ The Secret Savior

(Rachel's POV)

I woke up early and couldn't for the life of me get back to sleep. Justin was breathing heavily besides me and his breaths had caught my notice. What was happening to me? It was Justin. A few weeks ago I had been livid that I had ever met him and now I wanted nothing more then to me closer to him, knowing his every thought and feeling.

"You awake..." he shuffled, his eyes still heavy from sleep.

"Sorry," I whispered, "Did I wake you?"

"No... I want the sun to come up already..."

"Same,"

I missed the mountains too.

"Its like four..." I told him.

"One hour and we should go?"

I nodded into my pillow.

"C'mere" he swept me up, pulling me in with my blankets. He cuddled me under his chin, snuggling me like a padded ragdoll that was completely under his control. Chances of escaping his charm now were slim, so i thought of a distraction.

"Justin?"

"Mmm?"

"Remember when you told me that I didn't know the half of it?"

"I knew that would bug you," he laughed.

"Please tell me!"

Justin knew that I had to know everything and that I couldn't stand being out of the loop. Ever since he had made the comment I felt irked and frustrated, a million thoughts and possibilities running through my mind about what the comment could possibly mean.

"What did you mean? What don't I know?"

"If I tell you, will you listen?"

"Yes"

"I mean actually listen. Not just hear what you want to hear?

"Yes"

"You won't just believe the worst in me?"

His charm ruled out any chance of that happening, so I agreed once again.

"Yes, I promise"

He yawned and adjusted his hold on me, leaving me bundled and close but gaining my point of vision.

"Okay - so you were angry at me because you thought that I had done nothing to protect Randy..."

"You hadn't you were just watching them bully him...."

"Listen!" he tickled my sides.

"Okay! Okay - stop! I'm listening!"

"Last chance," he breathed, "But what you didn't know was that I was helping him"

"Your were?"

"Behind his back - yes"

"But how?"

"I heard about a lot of stuff - plans - and I squashed them before they happened"

"What kind of plans?"

"People weren't happy that he was there. Some people wanted to make him quit... so they thought if they hurt him bad enough then... he would have to quit"

I shrunk into my blankets knowing that Justin was sparing me from the details for a reason; the details of the plans were not pretty.

"Thank you..."

"Mmm" he squeezed me "I'm not that mean am I?"

"No... but I saw you watching all of the other stuff go on and you weren't doing anything about it"
