the boy next door

Chapter 13: An Announcement

Ashley's POV:

My eyes slowly opened as I saw Justin still peacefully sleeping and I smiled. He looked so cute when he was asleep. He had his arm around my waist and I scooted a little closer to his body. I gave him a little kiss on his nose which woke him up immediately. He fluttered his eyes open and smiled at me. "Good morning babe." I whispered. He smiled in response and kissed my cheek. "Hey sweetheart." he said in his morning raspy voice. I checked the time. 6:45 AM. Damn it's too early. I buried my head back into Justin's chest and fell back to sleep.

I was walking down the street towards the mall, but before I entered, I was pushed into a corner. I gasped in pain. "You're mine." the deep voice said. My heart dropped to my stomach and I looked up. Matt. "Get off of me Matt...I thought you were in jail." I said trying to get out of his grasp. He smirked and put his hand under my chin...lifting my head up and looking into my eyes. "I know you had the biggest crush on me Ash." he said slowly. I swallowed hard. He bit his lip and leaned in to kiss me but I turned to the side, to where he just kissed my cheek. "I said get off Matt." I whimpered. But he didn't listen. He continued to place wet kisses down my neck but I couldn't pull away from his grasp. He slid his hand down into my shirt, when I kneed him in the balls. He fell over in pain and lied there groaning. "YOU BITCH!" he yelled. "This isn't over yet...I'm gonna make you mine." Tears started rolling down my cheeks as I backed away and quickly ran towards the other direction.

I woke up sweaty and my stomach was knotted while my heart was beating faster than ever. I tried controlling my breathing but I was under so much stress. I must've been breathing so loud that I woke Justin up once again. He looked up at me and quickly scrambled up onto his side. "Baby baby what happened are you okay oh my god sh shhh." he said while cradling my head in his arms. I sobbed into his chest."J-Justin I'm scared. They're gonna come back. Please." I cried. Justin's eyes were filled with sadness. "Baby I'm here...I'm protecting you...you have nothing to be worried about. You're safe now." he said while rubbing my back with his hand. I regained my breath and slowly pulled away. I looked into his eyes and he gave me a slight smile. How does he know how to always make me feel better? God he was right...he made me feel protected. "Justin I love you so much. Like with all my heart. I don't wanna be with anyone else. You're perfect." I said wiping my tears away. I could tell that after he heard that, he got happy. His cheeks were red and he grinned. "Aw Ash...I love you more." he said while I lied on top of him. He was so comfortable too damn...everything about Justin made me smile. Justin's phone started to go off. "Hello?" he said still in his sexy morning voice. His face lit up. "Oh my god hello!!" Pause. "Wait are you serious?! THANK YOU SO MUCH, AWESOME!" he smiled even bigger. I furrowed my eyebrows. What's going on? He quickly hung up and looked at me with excitement in his eyes. "Who was th..." before I could finish my question he crashed his lips into mine hungrily. I pulled away running out of breath and stared at him."I'm gonna be a in a music video for Post Malone's new song." he said biting his lip. Once those words left his mouth I covered my mouth in shock. "OH MY GOSH JUSTIN!!! CONGRATS I'M SO PROUD!!! WAIT HOW? WHEN? YAYAYA!!!" I hugged him tightly and he chuckled at me. "Long story...but we're starting our photoshoot tomorrow morning." he said happily. I couldn't believe it...my boyfriend...Justin...WAS GOING GO BE IN A POST MALONE MUSIC VIDEO??? I was so happy for him. I pulled away and kissed him passionatley. "Promise me you won't forget about me when you become famous?" I joked. He rolled his eyes,"First off I'm never gonna forget about you are you joking? You're the best thing that's ever happened to me. And second off...I probably won't become famous. I'm just a weirdo." he quickly exclaimed. We changed and headed out for some breakfast. After we finished eating, we headed back home and Justin stopped the car in front of my house. "Hey I gotta go...my mom is inviting her old friends over." he sad with a frown. "Awww Justin... I'm gonna miss youuu!!!" I said kissing his plump lips. I pulled away and grabbed his hand. "Come over tomorrow after your video, and tell me how it went!" I kissed him one last time and ran into my house. I jumped on my couch with my mom and Jake and smiled big. They were watching some new Transformers movie but a few seconds later, my mom turned to me and smirked. "Now why are you so happy Ashley? It's kinda scaring me." she joked. I rolled my eyes playfully and laughed."Justin's just amazing..." I said as I looked up at the ceiling daydreaming. My brother saw me and rolled his eyes, putting his finger in his mouth as if he wanted to puke from me. I shook my head. He didn't understand...he was only 12...he'll find his true love one day.
