Hold Tight (A Justin Bieber Love Story) ((BEING EDITED))

Chapter 13

I don't need anyone's help with this, i can handle it. It's just this one time i needed someone. I looked over at Justin who was still asleep, he was a mess. But why would he stay here?

"You're awake," Layla says running into the room and over to me. I smile a little but then see she has been crying.

"Layla don't cry over me," i whisper to her and pull her into a hug even though it hurts.

"I thought you were dead," she whispers back sitting on the bed next to me, "When you didn't show up to school and i got your call. The pain you sounded in was heartbreaking. I didn't know what to do. When we got in the house, you were so broken and it made me panic. Justin got you here and he hasn't left," she says looking over at him as well.

"Why is he still here?" i question confused.

"Are you blind, the boy clearly cares about you Jessica, just like Zack and I do," she says getting off the bed. I shake my head.

"You're lying, Justin hates me," i say holding back tears. she shakes her head.

"Jessica you are so dense...The boy likes you alright, you may not think so but it is clear he does. I mean he was over to your place in a heart beat and wouldn't let anyone come in this room until today," she says raising her voice a little. I look over at Justin and think.

"Hey i got you some--- Jessica you're awake," Zack says walking into the room with some Starbucks. I smile a little at him.

"Hi," i whisper to him.

"If i would have known you would wake up i would have got you one..Here have mine," he says handing me his hot chocolate. I shake my head and hand it back and he shrugs. Layla looks back toward me.

"Now, are you going to tell us what happened?" she asked taking a sip of her drink. I look away from them and shake my head and they both sigh.

"Jessica, the doctor said you told them you are clumsy and fell. You don't get hurt like that by falling," Zack says in a serious tone.

"I don't want to talk about it," i whisper. Layla grabs Zack's hand and they walk toward the door.

"We have to go get some things, we will be back in an hour," she says as they leave. I look back out the window next to my bed. It is night out and the stars are bright. I smile a little, my mom and i used to sit outside on the roof and watch them, i miss that.

"You're awake," Justin's sleepy voice says. God, that was a sexy voice. Jessica get it together, you're in a hospital with a boy who hates you. I look over at him but don't say a word. He walks over, " I was worried you wouldn't wake up," he says in a soft caring voice. No, he doesn't care Jessica stop these thoughts, nobody cares about you. "Come on Jess, talk to me," he says. I look away when he says Jess, i can't handle that. My mother called me Jess all the time, so did my dad when he actually loved me. 

"Don't call me that," i whisper. I let a tear fall and i quickly wipe it away before he sees it. But i was to late, i hear him sigh and then the bed dip down. I look over and he is sitting with his arms on his knees and head down.

"Jessica, i don't know how long it is going to take for me to prove that i changed and i want to be your friend. I want to help you and understand, but i heard you talking to the doctor, i know something is going on. You need to let us know, we can help you," he says looking over at me. I glare at him.

"You were listening to the conversation? What the heck Justin, that was between my doctor and me, not you," i shout at him. He shakes his head.

"It's not like you told her anything, you won't even tell Layla and she is your freaking best friend Jessica," he says standing up. He runs a hand through his hair, "Do you even understand that you have people that care about you Jessica? What actually want to help you. Yet, you push everyone away," he says in a softer voice. I have tears building up in my eyes and i can't control thi anymore. I let myself break down, all the pain i have been keeping in and emotions are coming to the surface. why is Justin making me feel this way? I feel like i can talk to him, he'll protect me. Yet, he is one of the people who have gotten me to this level of pain my whole life.

"Don't cry," he whispers as he walks over and wraps me in his arms. I just accept it and cry into his chest. I cry until there is nothing left to cry about, but that isn't possible, i have many things to cry about. My dad, My mom, my life! I pull away and wipe my eyes. 

"If i tell you, you have to promise not to tell anyone..... Because i am handling it," i whisper. He nods and waits for me to go on. Was i really about to tell Justin my biggest secret?
