L.O.V.E (1): All I Want Is You

Chapter 4

23rd of November 2011

Grace P.O.V:

*FINALE DAY FOR THE COMPETITION*

I needed to tell Justin regardless of the consequences. I didn’t care about winning the competition I needed him to understand what was going on. It felt so wrong talking to him about how I wanted to tell the truth about my music when I was clearly lying to him about who I was.

Most importantly I needed to tell him how I felt about him. How I wanted nothing more than for him to hold me in his arms and tell me everything was going to be alright. I let myself fall in love with him. It was by accident. But, I know there’s no chance he’d take me back once he knew what I’ve been doing.

I played with his heart. He's never going to forgive me is he. I messed up so bad.

I went to Scooter Braun Enterprises to submit my song to the computers, where Justin could judge them. I hope I did a good job.. I worked so hard on that song.

I saw Jai Brooks. My ex-boyfriend… shit!

“Grace!” He shouted

“What do you want Jai?”

“I need you back baby”

“Why?”

“I realized I was so stupid before.. I love you!”

“Jai… I can’t do this now. I’m with someone else”

“What’s his name?”

“Justin” I said and blushed. Jai snickered and looked like he was going to barf any second.

Jai pulled me closer. I could smell his familiar scent that used to pull me in so easily. I remember when I first saw him. He wasn't famous at the time and he looked so cute in his little beanie and nose pierce. I was attracted to him so fast. But it died down as soon as I knew who he truly was. A man whore.

Jai pulled my bag and opened it up. He saw a wig. He saw my brother’s clothes

“What the fuck! Grace… I think your boyfriend would be pleased” I looked down and saw him walking towards the building, Without hesitation I pulled him back trying to hide my lies as much as I could.

“Oh…does Justin not know. Oh, this is priceless” He said smiling as he caught on my plan. Shit!

“Just let me explain Jai” I said I grew tired of his snickering.

“Fine” He said inwardly rolling his eyes. He loves me... yeah right!

“You know I’ve always wanted to sing and write my own songs. Well, I didn’t get into a competition.. So I’ve been dressing up as a boy this past week, to get my art out there. But, I realised I can’t express my music properly if I’m hiding. I’m telling him tonight…”

"You love him don't you?"

"Yeah... I do... Just let me do this Jai... I need to do this for me and for him"

"Do you realise if you tell him today he's not going to let you win the competition. I thought this was all you wanted to do. Show them the real Grace Grande. Not some pathetic love struck teenager"

I gulped. I worked too hard to let my love for Justin to waste it

"He probably doesn't feel the same way Grace. Not like me anyway"

"Yeah you're right Jai" I said, inwardly smiling. He pulled me in a hug. He was being creepy nice. I guess I could get used to that. It was only temporary and then I'd go with Justin.
