You're My Lover

Chapter 40

Chapter 40

-Hailee-

I sat in my room thinking over and over again about Justin. To bad it's so hard to get over someone. Especially after he helped you. But I was wondering how. How did he know I was there? How did he know that I needed help? Maybe questions that will be answered, maybe not.
-------------------------------------

I got a call from mom staying that her and dad weren't going to be home tonight. That means I have the whole house to myself. I was watching TV until I became tired and headed to bed. I looked at the clock just before I fell asleep seeing it was midnight.

I was awaken by a loud crash downstairs. Alarmed I ran out of my bedroom and downstairs to see what happened. At the bottom of the stairs there was broken glass all over the floor. I looked up not seeing anything to be the cause of this. I became scared not knowing if someone was in the house. I jumped over all the broken glass and ran to the kitchen. When I turned to corner, my body was forced to the ground. I screamed and kicked but my hands were held above my head. I focused on the person above me, seeing familiar dirty blonde hair. Sam. I continued to scream until he clamped his hand over my mouth. I bit his finger and lifted my knee, kneeing him in his 'special area'. He shouted in pain and fell to the floor next to me so now was my chance to get away.

"You little bitch!" I heard him yell as I ran up the stairs. I ran to my bedroom grabbing my phone and locking myself in the bathroom. I heard Sam pounding on the door a few seconds later. I tried calling my parents but there was no answer. I groaned letting the tears slip down my face. I tried Steph next, but still no answer. There was only one person left that I knew would answer. Without thinking I dialed his number. He picked up on the seven ring.

J: Hailee it's like 2 in the
morning! What are you
calling me for?
H: Justin I need you to come
over here now!
J: Hails are you okay?
H: no Justin! It's Sam! He's
Here! In my house! I need
you to help!
J: alright. I'll be there in a
minute. Just stay calm
and stop crying. Don't
make any sound!

The line went dead. I couldn't calm down. I can't stop crying. But he said he would come. That's all that matters. Why did I ever break up with him.

"Hailee open this door now!" Sam shouted bringing me out of my thoughts.

"What do you want from me?!" I cried out. I didn't hear anything. It was silent. I slowly got up off the floor and walked to the door, putting my ear on it so I could hear. I could here him breathing loudly.

"Hailee get out here now!" He shouted. I jumped because his loud voice scared me.

"Make me!" I said wiping away some tears. I looked down at my hand seeing I was shaking like crazy. I slid down the back of the door trying to calm down. I heard my bedroom door slam shut and then more crashes downstairs. I slowly stood up and opened the door. I walked to my bedroom door and opened it slowly going over to the stairs. I got low on the stairs peeking downstairs to see where Sam was. I saw him talking on the phone to someone.

"Yeah I'm at her house...... She locked herself in the bathroom........ I can't get her out........ Okay bye......" Was all I could hear. He threw his phone across the room cursing. I was breathing heavy since I was scared. I saw headlights outside pull up in the driveway. I felt relief. I looked back to see Sam was gone. I jumped down the stairs to the front door, swinging it open. Justin just got to the door when I opened it.

"Hey are you okay?" He asked. I shook my head.

"No Justin we need to get out of here." I panicked.

"Where do you think you're going?" I heard from behind me. I snapped my head around seeing Sam standing there with him arms crossed over his chest.

"What the hell do you think you're doing here! I'm her house!" Justin shouted pushing his way in the doorway.

"I think I'd better tell you now Hailee. We're a gang. And they assigned me to get you. So that's what I'm doin. That's why I came to you're school in the first place. It's all a plan." He told me. I felt more scared. They assigned him to get me? What does that mean?

"Well you're not getting her!" Justin spat.

"Who do you think you are? Her boyfriend? You guys aren't together anymore." Sam hissed.

"That doesn't mean shit." Justin said getting closer to him.

"Aww poor little Justin. Can't have his little slut back." Sam said to Justin. I sat there watching not knowing what to do. I saw Justin lunge foreword knocking Sam to the ground, punching him repeatedly. Sam was fighting back just as much.

"Stop!!" I screamed but they didn't listen. It was no use. There was no way I could stop them. Sam eventually gave up holding his face, laying on the floor. Justin got up, bruised and bloody.

"Justin-"

"Common, we have to get out of here Hailee. Who knows what's gonna happen." He took my hand and led me to his car. We both got in and Justin sped down the street. With him speeding, we were at his house within a matter of minutes. We both went inside and sat down on the couch. We sat in an awkward silence for a while. I took in Justin's facial expressions and could tell he was in a lot of pain.

"Justin are you okay?" I asked breaking the silence. He looked at me and nodded.

"Yeah I'm fine." He lied.

"No Justin you're not. I can tell that you are in pain. I've seen it before." I said. He looked at me for a minute before giving in.

"Okay, it hurt like a bitch." He said referring to his face. It was still bloody. I stood up pulling him up with me and headed to the kitchen. I grabbed at towel and got it wet with warm water.

"Sit down." I said pointing at the table chair. He gave me a look.

"Hailee is this really necessary?" He asked.

"Yes. Just let me clean it. It will get infected." I told him. He finally sat down on the chair and I pulled up another one besides him. I felt his hand wrap around me waist, pulling me onto his lap. I smiled a little. "What was that for?"

"I thought it might me easier for you this way." He said. But I knew the real reason. I smiled as he did and started to clean the blood away. Once I was done, I saw his lip was split and he had a few cuts around his face. He was staring at my face the whole time. When I finished I looked at him but we didn't say anything. We just there, staring at each other. His beautiful chocolate brown eyes looking straight into mine. Even with bruises and cuts, he was still flawless. I noticed Justin lean in a little and found myself doing the same, until our lips locked. It felt to right. I missed his perfect lips on mine. The familiar fireworks in my stomach returned, just like every time I kissed him. I closed my eyes and took in the moment. It felt like things were just falling into place again.

-Justin-

The bright light from the window shone through the curtains, waking me up. I rubbed my sleepy eyes feeling extra weight on one side of me. I looked down remembering Hailee. I smiled knowing I had her by my side. Her soft even breaths were hitting against my bare chest. I had my arm wrapped around her waist and her head was on my shoulder. I was probably smiling like crazy that that moment. I lifted my hand to play with the end of her soft brown hair.

"Justin?" I heard her softly say. I looked down to see her eyes still close but a smile on her face.

"Hmm?"

"What are we at now? Status wise?" She asked. I thought for a minute. I didn't know. What are we?

"Whatever you want it to be, it will be." I said softly back. She smiled bigger looking up at me.

"Justin I don't think I can last another day without you. After last night, I know I need you in my life." She said. I felt warm inside. I smiled at her. I now know that I wasn't crazy. I wasn't the only one who couldn't live without the other.

"Hails, I need you too. I feel like I have to have you. Here. With me. In my arms. Its like it was meant to be." I said. She smiled and planted a kiss on my lips. She pulled away and looked straight at me with her beautiful eyes.

"Does that mean were together again?" She asked. I smiled and nodded. She gave me another kiss. We were both smiling like crazy.

"I love you." I said when we pulled away. She smiled.

"I love you too."
