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

Chapter 14

I took a deep breath and look away from him for a minute. He was watching me intensely as i prepared myself to finally tell someone about everything... But why was i having second thoughts about it? Why did i trust Justin and not Layla or the nurse? I looked back at Justin.

"Jessica!" my dad's voice boomed into the room as he walked in. He stopped when he seen Justin was in here. He put on a fake smile, he always acted like this when people were around. "How you feeling baby?" he asked walking over. I moved closer to Justin and i think he noticed. "I got the call and i was worried sick," he lies through his teeth. He goes to touch my face and i flinch making Justin alert.

"Mr. Hernandez, if you don't mind me asking, why are you just now coming? It's been three days," Justin says standing up on the other side of my bed facing my father. My dad looks at me with a warning then back to Justin with a frown.

"My work makes me travel to different cities around here, so it took me awhile to get a ride back. I got here as fast as i could," he says with sadness, which i knew was fake. Justin wasn't buying it either because i think he could tell i was terrified. 

"Right," he says in an emotionless tone.

"Who are you anyways kid?" my dad snapped back making Justin smile.

"I'm Jessica's friend, who found her and took her here because her father wasn't around," he says in a snappy tone. I looked at him, i knew this would end bad because of my fathers temper. My dad crossed his arms over his chest and glared at Justin.

"Better watch your tone young man," he warns. Justin just smirks and crosses his arms too. The tension in the room was unbearable at the moment, it was breaking me slowly.

"We are back," Layla says walking in with Zack. When she see's my dad she smiles. "Mr. Hernandez," she says hugging him. He hugs her back with a smile.

"Layla dear, i haven't seen you in awhile," he says, "How have you been?" he says like nothing bad has ever happened. She shrugs.

"Pretty boring until today," she says looking at me. "How are you feeling Boo?" she asked sitting on my bed. I refused to say a word or look at anyone. Justin was still glaring at my dad, Zack was confused, and Layla was worried.

"Well, you kids should all get home and some sleep. I heard you all were here awhile...I can watch her from here on out," my father says making me panic a little. Justin looks at me but i am focused on the wall. 

"Actually, i am staying," Justin suddenly says taking a seat in the chair right next to me. My dad's head snapped toward him.

"You need to get home, go to school, get rest kid," my father says trying everything to get Justin to leave. Justin just leans back and relaxes.

"Nope, i am staying here with Jessica until she is clear to go home," he says in a simple tone. My dad went tense and i knew he was pissed off.

"I'm sure Jessica wants to be alone," he says looking at me. I look away from him and to Justin.

"I want him to stay," I whisper making Justin smile. Layla and Zack smile and say goodbye to me and Justin and leave. My dad stayed glaring at Justin for awhile longer before walking out of the room. I felt a tear that i was holding in fall. Justin leaned over and wiped it away.

"Jessica, your dad.....Did he..." he stops when more tears start to fall down my cheeks. I see his Jaw clench and i can tell he is holding back. Next thing i know he has me wrapped in his arms with me crying into his chest again. I didn't;t even have to say anything, he knew Right away what my silence meant. He rubbed circles on my back and kissed my head.

"You have to promise not to tell anyone Justin?" i say pulling away. He holds my face carefully in his hands and wipes the tears.

"Jessica, he freaking beats you and you want me to do nothing about it?" he says trying to keep his anger in check. I shake my head repeatedly at him.

"No, he loves me....He just gets mad sometimes," i try to convince myself more than him. Justin lets me go and stands up.

"Loves you? You don't hit someone you love Jessica! You need to to tell someone," he says getting more upset by the second. I had more tears now and i sat up.

"Justin Stop! I trusted you, i told you when i didn't even let my best friend know....Please....Please don't lose my trust like everyone else does," i whisper the last past, "Please don't leave me..... I can't do this anymore," i say breaking down into more tears. Justin wraps me in a hug again.

"I will never leave you Jessica..... I promise," he says rocking me back and forth and calming me down. So that was it, i finally let someone in, will he keep his word and stay? or leave like everyone else?
