Angeline's P.O.V.
I walk out if Meagan's house and to Justin's. He is in the next neighbourhood so I'm good. But once I get there I realize I am pooped out. Damn! I need to exercise more!
I get there and realize I have to pass the gate. I press the button and a I hear a man's voice.
"Hello." Sounds like he just woke up!
"Hi. I'm Angeline Lee, a friend of Carol."
I hear some ruffling and the gate opens.
Not as hard as I thought.
I mentally shrug my shoulders and walk past the gates. Their house is beautiful. It's three stories high and the usual rectangular shape. It's pretty much all brick and there are about two windows for each floor.
And the pathway leading to the house is long! I'm even more tired out than before!
I ring the bell and Carol opens the door. I'm about to say hi but she grabs my wrist and pulls me to her room.
She pushes me in and closes the door. "Do you know what my brother did when he came home? Hmm! He burst in with a tear-streamed face and slammed his bedroom door! I heard him crying! For goodness sake Angeline!"
Carol throws her hands up in the air then puts the on her hips. Tapping her foot impatiently.
"I know Carol I messed up. I came here to talk to him." That got her.
She relaxes her form and nods. Then she pushed me out of her room and points to Justin's. Then slams her door.
Taking a deep breath, I walk to his door and wow, I hurt him that bad? I could hear him sobbing from outside. I hear him mumble some words, then something shatters! That caught my attention! I burst in the room and see he has thrown a vase at the wall.
I've never seen his room before. It's all blue with a king sized bed in the corner, two doors on the opposite wall, where he threw the vase, a t.v. in front of the bed. A bookshelf beside the bed and some bean bags in random places.
He turns to me, "Angeline?" I nod my head and he immediately rushes over to me and hugs me, burying his face in the crook of my neck.
I then hear him start to cry again, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, so so sorry. It wasn't supposed to be like this."
"Shhh... Justin it's okay. I went to Meagan's and she told me you and Destiny's story. It's ok."
He looks up and smiles a little, "Really?" He looks so vulnerable, how could I do this to him? I'm getting really attached already.
I nod my head and he kisses me, which takes me by surprise, but I kiss him non less. We keep kissing 'til he pulls away from me.
"I'm sorry Angeline." I look into his eyes and see regret.
"I'm sorry too Justin. I should've let you explain instead of walking off."
He smiles a little then pulls me to his bed. Umm...
"Ugh Justin?"
"Shhh... Let's just talk."
We lie down side by side and he has an arm wrapped around my shoulders.
"Carol said you came here because your mom moved here. But then you said it was because of Matthew. Which one is correct?"
I sigh and say, "I moved here to be with her is true and a cover-up. I don't wanna go around telling people the reason why I came here."
He just nods and we keep on talking. Our friends, dreams, wishes, likes.
Justin is so not what people call him.
"Angeline, will, will you be my girlfriend?" He looks at me and I can't hurt him anymore. Angeline, you are attached.
"Thought you'd never ask."
