(That picture just kills me softly. Just thought I should let you all know.)

As Letty's tires made a complete stop in the driveway. I see Justin outside with all his buddies laughing as he took a puff off his cigarette. I quickly grab the handle and pull it to push the door open. I grab my bookbag as I look at Justin who still hasn't seen me yet but everyone else sure as hell did. I see Brian nudge Justin and point at me. Justin turns out with a smile when that smile fades as he puffed his cigarette once more.

"You just going to ignore me all day now." I spat.

"What are you doing here?" He mumbles. "I told you not today."

"And I have so much bullshit going on in my head right now Justin." I bark. "Because of you. So the talk was necessary."

"Don't fucking blame this on me." He grits his teeth. "It takes two to tango bitch."

"Justin." Dom barks.

"Shut it." Justin hisses back at Dom. His focus back on me, his hard stare killing me. "Now what is it you want to talk about that you couldn't fucking wait." He says puffing the cigarette once more.

My blood was boiling after he called me bitch and I was in no mood to put up with his shit. "Don't act fucking hard now sweetheart. It's ugly to look fake." I growl.

"Are you going to tell me what you desperately fucking needed or continue to bitch me out?" His eyes set on a deep stare on me as he looked like he had a bad day. His eyes were dark brown today which makes me think he hasn't the best day. "Because I have shit to do."

"Well can I talk to you in private?" I say looking at every single Assassins member listening and watching us both including Jaz who sat outside to get the inside scoop.

Justin looked around at everyone when he looks at Dom. "Go." Dom demands.

Justin rolls his eyes as he walks to me down the stairs of his house. We walked down near the curb. I sat down in the grass as my feet sat on the road. Justin doing the same. His presence around me made me feel so much happier and safer than I have all day.

"What is it?" He said as if his mood had changed but I know it didn't.

"Why are you being such an ass to me right now?" I question touching his cheek with my finger tips.

"Lauren-" He says taking a deep breath. "After last night. I really wanted to push you away."

"Why?" I ask hurt at his comment. How could he want to push me away? When all I ever did was help him and make him better.

"Because I care about you so much. And last night I almost lost myself. Knowing Conner had you." He takes a deep breath. " If I ever lose you-"

"You won't." I reassured him.

"If I just wouldn't have let my anger get the best of me and make you walk." He trails off.

"What happened last night was my fault. I shouldn't have got in the car with him." I mumble. "Don't blame yourself."

"How can I not?"

"Because, I am alive and breathing right here with you."

Justin looking down at the road asks, "So are you going to tell me what you need to tell me?"

"It's three things." I state still looking hopelessly at Justin.

Justin says nothing as he looks at the road not daring to look at me.

"Look at me please." I whine. "Please."

He shifts his eyes back to me to a caramel color making me melt into a puddle of happiness. "Okay Brittany knows about us." I bluntly blurt out. "I don't know how being that the only people who know are us, your buddies, Kyle, and the Miami gang."
