Love heals

The Kiss!

Justin's pov
Bethany was just so beautiful and she seemed like such a sweet girl last night I mean how could I not invite her to do something? She said she'd been going through a tough time and I was the only thing that made her feel better, I need to know what happened to her. When I saw her walking on stage last night I felt something romantically, I don't know what exactly it was but I do know that it made me feel good. I need to understand this feeling because it resembled something I felt with my ex Selena, it felt stronger and better though. My thoughts came to a halt as we drove into what I assumed to be Bethany's drive way. I decided to call her as I just didn't feel it was appropriate for me to be in her house yet with me feeling how I felt.
"Hello" Her beautiful voice rang in my ears.
"Hey Bethany it's Justin I'm here."
"Oh hi Justin I'll be right out" after about a minute she came out the front door and I felt that tickle in my stomach again and looking back I now know that feeling was love.
"Wow this limo is amazing" she looked around in awe.
"Well I thought if you were gonna show me around Cleveland then we might as well ride in comfort and style"
"Ok well right now we're in Solon which is a suburb. Let's drive past the schools and take the more scenic route to a Beachwood which is another suburb and then through there we will go to Cleveland and walk around a bit." I could tell she loved this area. It's her hometown and she seemed proud of it. "Sounds great"
As we drove around Solon I saw how wrong any stereotypes of Ohio being all farms really are. The "ABC" streets as she called them were filled with nice middle class houses with beautiful gardens and bright green grass and lots of trees. "Bethany it's beautiful here there's so much life in the plants"
"Well when you have lake weather effect you get a lot of rain for the plants" She could be a real tour guide, she knew her stuff. I mean I think she did I'm not an expert on Cleveland. When we got on the highway to Beachwood she started up with her facts again.
"So Beachwood is actually the second most Jewish populated city per kapita in the US" she seemed nervous about something as she started talking about how many Jews were in the area.
"That's cool. Hey you seem nervous, are you ok?"
"Yeah it's just now a days you never know how someone will react when you tell them you're Jewish"
"You're Jewish? Thats great. Maybe you can make me that matzah ball soup stuff I've heard it's really good."
"Oh it is. There's a really good deli in Beachwood that has the best matzah balls in the city if you want to pick some up"
"Yeah that'd be great. So if you don't mind me asking why are you going through a tough time?" I just blurted it out. I mean I needed to know.
"Well that's a long story. When I was 10 I was diagnosed with an eye disease called Uveitis which is inflammation of the uvea or middle layer of the eye, it's very painful but I've been on treatment for it for 8 years so it's gotten a lot better. A year later my parents got divorced which is actually better but things like splitting up holidays and stuff can be really stressful. Aside from a the bullies from 7th through 10th grade the years leading up to last year were kinda like fillers. And then at the very beginning of this school year the worst thing of all happened, my Papa who had been battling cancer on and off for 5 years just couldn't keep up the fight anymore and we lost him..." as she started wrapping up her story she started to cry so I did what came to mind first and I hugged her as tight as I could.
"Bethany you are so strong. I'm sure you know what a horrible place I was in in 2014 but I don't know if I could have gone through everything you did. You are amazing." I was in awe of her. She literally went through hell and yet she seemed like the strongest person I'd ever met.
"Aside from my family and friends the only reason I got through it all was you. I mean Be Alright and Life is Worth Living are the most inspiring songs I've ever heard and your voice to me literally sounds like an angel."
"I don't know about all that but I'm really happy I could help you out like that. People always think I don't care about my beliebers but you guys are literally my world. I mean without all of you I wouldn't be where I am today so I owe each and every one of you."
"Justin you don't owe us. You give us music and you're always so funny and cute that we're just instantly happy at the sight of you. We love you and that's enough for us."

Bethany's pov

"We love you and that's enough for us." He started looking at me the way he did last night and I had no idea what was going to happen. He started to lean closer to me and I didn't think it was possible that he would actually want to kiss me. I started to lean in too until our lips met in the middle. I don't know if he felt it too but I felt like fireworks were going off. It wasn't my first kiss but it was definitely my best so far. His lips were so soft and I'd spent years dreaming about this moment. I thought I was dreaming as we both came up for air and we just stared at each other not knowing what to do until we pulled up to my house. "Uh thanks for today Justin it was great"
"Um yeah anytime. Want to hang tomorrow too? I had a really great time and I want to actually have like a real relationship with you when I'm not here anymore."
"I'd love to. Same time?"
"Yeah"
"Ok bye"
"Bye"
And with that I ran up to my house and into my room where I screamed into my pillow. I mean I jut kissed JUSTIN BIEBER!!! Actually Justin Bieber kissed me and I kissed back. I had to call Dottie right away. I was freaking out and I didn't know what to do.
