Justin walked me to my house and everything was tense. Not a single word was spoken since we climbed down off the building. I was wondering something though, so when we got to my driveway i turned toward him.

"Can i ask you something?" i whispered not looking at him. 

"Yeah," he said back to me. I glanced up at him and he was looking at me intensely.

"Why were you on top of the building?" i said not knowing if i should ask or not. I mean, everyone is entitled to their own secrets and all. I hear him sigh making me look at him.

"I lived there before this new house. So the roof was somewhere i went to think and clear my mind," he says like it was no big deal. I nod and go to open my door.

"Thank you," i whisper before quickly going in and closing the door before he says anything else. Was this a dream? Did Justin Bieber just save my life? He must think i am pathetic, i just tried to kill myself. He thinks i am crazy now. Why didn't he just let me do it? Would have made his life a whole lot easier if you ask me.

Last night my dad came home drunk, which means i got my nightly beating. I also cut myself again, to let the pain out. Now i was walking into the school, trying to hide the pain once again with a fake smile.

"Morning sunshine," Layla greets me with her normal bright smile at my locker. Only difference was that Zack was with her this time. He smiled at me.

"Morning Jessica," he says with his arm swung around Layla's shoulders. Layla smiles at me.

"So, the teacher is making us start that project today. She says we get time in class and we have to meet with our partners after class," she says smiling at Zack. They had that class the same hour and are partners. I was not so lucky and if you recall was paired with Justin. There was no avoiding that boy i guess.

"Yeah, i am partners with Justin," i say in a soft voice. Zack sigh.

"If he gives you problems Jessica just tell me, i will handle him," he says sounding like an over-protective brother. I smiled a little and so did Layla.

"Honestly though, i am just trying to avoid him," i say in honesty, and it was true. I didn't want anything to do with him, he may have saved my life but he was not getting away with all the bullying he put me through.

Last hour, my project with Justin. Shot me! I sat in my seat and Justin sat next to me. I didn't look at him, nor did i speak. 

"Alright class, get with your partner and start your projects, you have a month to complete them and know everything there is to know about the other person, and then present it in front of the class. It counts as your exam grade so please take it seriously," the teacher tells us as everyone moves around the room. I hear the desk next to me move and Justin is right in front of me staring at me.

"Well, should we get this over with or what?" i say taking my note pad out. I had drawings on it. I loved to draw and i was good at it, but i never let anyone see them, i only did it to escape the world, it was my one thing i loved and could be free at.

"You have been avoiding me all day Jessica, Why?" Justin asked a little upset. Wait, he was not upset he hates me remember. I shrug and chew on my pen.

"Full name," i say softly.

"Justin Drew Bieber," he says leaning back in his desk and watches me as i write stuff down.

"Age?" i ask again running through the main questions first.

"18 last time i checked," he says in an amused tone. I try not to smile at his joking tone.

"Do you have any siblings?" i asked him risking a glance up to him. He nods.

"Yeah Two, Jazmine and Jaxon. Both younger," he says running a hand through his hair.

"I didn't know that," i say a little surprised. He laughs.

"Yeah not many people do. But hey it's not like i would tell anyone that information," he says leaning forward do his elbows rested in the desk. I rolled my eyes and looked back at my paper.

"Where were you born?" I asked because it was the only thing i could come up with.

"Canada," he says. I look up surprised a little. "Yeah yeah i know...I moved here before middle school started. Fresh start," he says playing with the pencil on his desk.

"Fresh start?" i asked with my eye borrow raised. He nods.

"Yeah, my mom needed a new start, so we moved here," he simply says with a shrug. I nod in agreement and look at the list again. "My turn...Tell me about your family," he says making me freeze all my movement. I dropped my pen and looked down.

"Can we not talk about it?" i whisper to him.

"It is only fair, i mean you know stuff about me now so just tell me," he says waiting for me to tell him. How am i getting myself out of this one Jessica?
