Chapter Thirty-One.

"Love can go through anything; battles, fights, break-ups, any of that but they will find their way back to eachother, no matter what."

"I love you, babe," Justin said against my cheek, "And last night was amazing." I let out a small laugh, pushing my head in the crook of his neck while we leaned against his locker. I had brushed off telling Justin what had happened between Tyler and I, but I was going to do it, when the time was right. I was just so scared of his reaction and once he finds out that I've hidden it from him, he might be even more angry.

"I love you too." I replied as I closed my eyes, resting my head on his chest as his fingers ran through my hair. The bell rang indicating that it was officially free period, meaning that we could do whatever we wanted.

This was the moment I was going tell him. I was going to tell him Tyler kissed me.

"Hey, can we go outside for a second?" I asked him as I grabbed his hand and he intertwined our fingers as I pulled him through the pile of people and outside. We sat down on one of the benches and he pulled me down on his lap and I gave him a nervous smile.

"You okay?" He asked, pushing a piece of hair behind my ear and I nervously shook my head as his eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

I felt my heart beat faster and my breath hitch as I tried to find the right words to say to him.

"Justin, he kissed me. Tyler, he kissed me." I said, stuttering on some words and Justin looked expressionless for a minute and I started to become anxious, putting my hand on his cheek. His face was so unreadable as he stared at me and I really just wanted him to say something.

"What the fuck?"

Justin finally spoke and I honestly didn't know why Tyler kissed me, it was out of the blue, really. I barely knew him and he barley knew me, yet he kissed me. It wasn't the first time, either and I, myself was confused on about that too.

Justin got up and turned around to look at me, "Where the fuck is he? When I find him, I'm going to-"

"No, Justin, please." I said grabbing his arm, pulling him towards me and running my hand through his hair to try and calm him down as his face was getting angrier by the second.

"When?" He asked, pulling out of my grip and running his hands over my face. "When did he kiss you?"

I had been keeping it from Justin for over about day and half because I hadn't found the right time to tell him. I was so nervous to how he was going to react and I knew this would only make him more pissed off than he already was.

"He kissed me about a day and half ago." I said quietly and he chuckled bitterly which made my stomach drop. I quietly looked down at the ground as he was staring at me, and I knew he wasn't happy, he was hurt that I had hidden it from him.

"Why the fuck didn't you tell me as soon as he did it?" He asked, running his hand through his hair.

"I was scared about how you would react, I- I don't know." I stuttered, throwing my hands beside me in frustration. "I'm sorry, Justin. I just-"

"Where is he?" Justin asked, once again and I just grabbed his hand, again. If he went to find Tyler it would only make things worse and I didn't want that. I was honestly scared of what was going to happen between me and Justin at this moment. I hadn't seen him this angry in a while.

"Justin, please. That will only make things worse."

"I can't believe you, Ariana." He said shaking his head and I hadn't felt this shit in a while. Even if it was Tyler who kissed me, why did I hide it from him? I can trust Justin with my whole life and I love him with every inch of my body but I was scared and that's not an excuse.
