Road Trip (original version)

Chapter 13- Damage Her

Justin went to his studio while I sat and ate the surprisingly tasty breakfast he made. Mya and Khalil went to the mall. She probably wanted to get new sneakers or something. Alex texted me to let me know that Ryan had took her out. Alfredo and Carter are outside playing basketball. This is is quietest this house has been since I've arrived. Just me and Justin. I put my dishes in the sink and washed them quickly before exiting the kitchen and making my way to the studio.

I slowly opened the door and saw Justin there writing on a notepad. He looked up when he saw me and grinned.

"Hey beautiful, hows your wrist feeling?"

"Good." I grinned. He just called me beautiful. "Hey, can I ask why you told Scooter that you were the one who put oil in the hallway and not Mya and Carter?"

"Yeah, I just didn't want Scooter to tell me that you guys were trouble makers or something." He shrugged.

"Oh, ok thanks then."

"No problem." he smiled. "I just called poo bear, he's gonna come over and help me record."

"Poo bear?" I giggled and walked over to sit next to him.

"I don't know his real name." He chuckled and shrugged his shoulders. "Hey, tell me how this sounds ok?" I nodded my head. He sat down in front of his keyboard and cleared his throat.

"Maybe you could change me, maybe you could be the light, that opens up my eyes. Make all my wrong right.. Change me." He stopped playing and smiled up at me. "That's kind of all that I have right now."

"It sounds beautiful so far." I assured him.

"Thanks." He looked lost in thought.

"What exactly do you want the song to be about?"

"Its talking about this person.." He got up off the piano bench and sat next to me. "I've had my ups and downs.. My mistakes have been in the media multiple times and I just.. I need someone to help me change. It's about that one person who I think can help me." He starred into my eyes. "I have to tell you something.." He cleared his throat. "I broke up with Selena a-" the sound of the door opening cut him off.

"Ayee Justin! You ready man?" Justin got up from next to me and did that handshake thing the guys always do, with the man who walked in.

"Aye bear." He pointed to me. "This is Vanessa. She's gonna, gonna help us out with the songs." Why'd he suddenly seem nervous?

"Hello Vanessa." 'Poo bear' gave me a nod and I waved in return.

"So what are you working one now?"

"I'm working on a new song right now called Change Me, but I need your help with uh One Life." He grabbed his notepad and flipped to a page. "I already have the lyrics, I want like, like a slow R&B feel."

Soon enough Justin was in the booth.

"So what's your real name?" I smiled at Poo Bear.

"That's for me to know and you to find out." He laughed. "But you can call me Bear."

"Alright then Bear." I chuckled and turned my attention back to Justin and just as expected his eyes were on me.

"Hopefully you give me a chance, all I want is love and romance, I wanna give it all, give it all to you" The way he was looking at me.. His eyes were full of lust but his facial expression was full of sadness. "I wanna dream what you dream, go where you go" His eyes closed as he hit the falsetto. "Only have one life, and I only wanna live it with you." His eyes opened again and he looked straight at me, his look was intense. "I wanna sleep where you sleep, connect with your soul, we only live one life, and I only wanna live it with you." He let the beat continue for a second until he took off his headphones. Bear stopped the music.
