Crash ~Justin Bieber~

Chapter 72 ~ The Two Justin's

(Rachel's POV)

There's a quote that says, "Life promises us one thing; that one day, we will lose it"

William said this quote was a lie.

"You can't kill the human spirit. It's impossible. Death can take away our bodies but that doesn't make us dead"

William said that our bodies weren't alive, our souls were.

Maybe that's why I could see her. Maybe that's why Justin couldn't.

I knew that it was possible.

I knew that the human spirit didn't have to leave after death. It never really died.

"Justin, don't. It's too hot"

"I want to hold you"

"It's too hot"

Justin's arms reached for me. He pulled me close. He held me up to his chest and said, "It doesn't matter. I want you"

William was right.

Even though I was melting against my boyfriends own body heat, my spirit wasn't dead. It was only hurting. It was only crying out for help.

Just let me go.

I can't do this anymore.

I'm going to leave you soon.

I can't take it.

(Randy's POV)

Everything with Justin and Rachel was a big deal.

Non-issues became major issues, small statements became life convictions, and completing tasks alone rather than together became impossible instead of easy.

"This is bullshit" Justin complained, "Why can't Rachel be my date?"

This week, every Mash Up contestants had to attend a charity auction. We were asked to bring a date. It was simply for publicity reasons and many of us were choosing to take each other rather then strangers. But Rachel couldn't go. She had to do an interview that night and she wouldn't be done in time.

"It's not a big deal"


"It's a huge deal"

"Just take someone else"

"I don't want too"

"You have to"

"It's gay"

"Just take some random girl"


"No - It would kill me if Rachel asked some other guy out on a date. I can't do that to her"

"It's not a date"


"It's not right"

"Justin, nobody is even taking this thing seriously. Look, I'll show you"

"Show me?'

"Hey Monet!!!!"

Monet was standing with her normal group of girlfriends on top of the foyers staircase.

"Yes?"

"Are we gonna go together?"

She frowned, "Well duh?"

"Sweet - Ben's hiring a car"

"Are we leaving at seven?"

"Six thirty"

"Cool"

She turned back to her friends and I turned back to Justin.

"See? It's easy"
