Lizzy's POV

"What do you want? You have exactly 2 minutes before I slam the door in your face". I say harshly with a very angry expression on my face. Justin looks at me with sorry eyes but its gonna take more than that to calm me down.

He starts talking "Lizzy I'm sorry for yelling at you in class today. I'm really sorry and hate myself for doing that to you. You didn't deserve that at all. And I hope you can forgive me. I know you were just trying to help.(sigh) what am trying to say is I'm sorry." He ends his rant and look me in the eyes. His sorry gaze piercing my heart. How can I not forgive him.

"I'll only forgive you if you tell me why you were so angry." I tell him.

"Well its a long story that I'm ready to tell if you forgive me". He says shyly

"Okay I half forgive you. But you still have to tell me why you were so angry". I give in.

"Can i come in?" He asks me

"Sure". I step aside so he can enter. He enters and the I shut the we go to the living room and we both sit on couch

"Well I'm listening". I say after we sit in silence for a while.

"This is personal information that no one except my best friends know so please before i tell you anything you have to promise not to tell anyone."

"I Lizzy Stone promise never to utter a word of what I'm about to hear to any living being or creature. I solemnly swear to take this information to my grave". I say with one hand in the air.

Justin chuckles at my jokingly way of promising

He looks at his feet and starts talking "My mom died when i was 14. By then my little brother was 7 and my little  sister Jazmyn was 4. After her death my dad fell into depression. In the beginning he was still the caring dad that he was when our mom was still around but about 3 months after the funeral, he started drinking. He would always come home drunk. And when ever he did he would take his frustration out on me. He would hit me, insult me , curse at me and a whole lot of other things. He even stopped paying the fees for school. But thankfully one of our mothers sisters started taking care of us and reported him to the police for child abuse and he was sentenced for 15 years. But i got informed yesterday that he had been set free for good behaviour. And I just lost control". He finished.

I took his hands into mine "I'm sorry you had to go through that. Thanks for trusting me enough to tell me. I know it must have hurt a lot. And I was such a bitch to you. Even while you were going through so much. I'm so sorry". I looked at me feet in shame
He lifted my chin so that i was looking into his eyes. "You don't have to be sorry. Even if i was going through a lot it still wasn't an excuse to take my anger out on you. And I'm sorry for doing that".

We stare at each other and he starts moving his face towards mine. I close my eyes bracing myself for a kiss. His face is so close to mine i can feel his breathe on my face. But then...........

Ring. Justin's phone starts ringing. Really?

He talks on the phone for while but then he finally hangs up

"I have to go buttercup I'll see you tomorrow at school." He says

I walk him out but before he leaves"You still haven't told me if you've forgiven me yet.

"You're forgiven. Good night". I say smiling.

"Good night buttercup". He says back and gets into his car. I watch as he drives away.
