Hold Tight (A Justin Bieber Love Story) ((BEING EDITED))

Chapter 56

It's officailly the weekend, and you wanna know what this means? Oh wait, guess i should explain. Okay well, it's been three days since the recent run in with Josh, he wasn't at school the rest of the week because he got suspended from school for starting a fight, which i wasn't complaining about because that means less trouble for us. In all the crazyness of the week, the boys, Layla and I have decided to go up to Zack's beach house for our long weekend, we didn't have school next week Monday or Tuesday because it is Prom week and they are setting up. 

"Do you have everything you need?" Allison asked for the millionth tim as we stand in my room looking around.

"Yes mom, i  have everything i will need," I say with a smile as we take my two bags downstairs. She sets them by the door just as Justin and the boys all pull up. 

"OH have fun sweetie," Allison says with a sad face. I pull her into a hug.

"I am only going to be an hour away, and a phone call away," I say pulling away as the doorbell rings. Brooke pushes past us and opens it and squeals as she jumps into Justin's arms laughing. Justin catches her and kisses her cheek.

"Hey Brooke, is Jess home," he says knowing that i am right there. Brooke nods and points over to Allison and I.

"So what are the car plans?" I asked as he helps me bring my bags out to his car.

"Well, I am driving and so is Rylee. So we are all going to ride together. So it's You, Kyle, Kaylee, Andrew, and Spencer in my car and all the others with Rylee," he says putting my stuff in as everyone gathers around. Allison walks out and looks at us.

"Now, you kids have a fun and safe trip... Don't do anything i wouldn't do!" She says as a joke since when she was our age she was pregnant with me. Everyone takes turns hugging her, when she gets to Justin she stops.

"You better take care of her," She whispers hugging him, but i heard her say it. Justin chuckles.

"Trust me, i will," He says as we all get in the car and we take off toward the Beach house.

An hour later and we arrive at the house, and let me tell you, it is huge. Justin stops the car behind Rylee's as we all get out and stretch.

"Never again will i be the only girl in the car," Layla complains standing next to Kaylee and me. We laugh and look at the house.

"Dang Zack," Andrew says in shock. Zack laughs and we follow him inside.

"My parents are kinda big shots, they got this as a gift because they are never home.... There's enought bedrooms for everyone so you can all fight over it but mine is the basement along with Layla's," He says with a smirk. Layla blushes and Rylee has a look of horror on his face.

"Dude, that's my little sister can we please not," He says making us all laugh as we go find our rooms. I decided on the third floor right next to Justin's room and on the other side Rylee.

"JESSICA!" Layla and Kaylee shout as they run in my room with their purses. I look at them confused.

"calm down," i say laughing.

"Prom is next weekend... We seen a few stores on the way here and we are going shopping because we all need dresses," Kaylee says with a smile. Ugh, i honestly hate shopping, and dresses for that matter, since you know i have scars and stuff. But i end up agreeing as we walk to the main floor.

"Where are you ladies going?" Spencer asked as he is sitting in the living room with everyone.

"Shopping for Prom!" Layla says in excitment like a little kid.

"Do you even know your way around this town?" Zack asked in amusement. 

"I know how to get around Zack!" Layla says making the guys laugh but Zack and Rylee look horrified. 

"Be careful," Justin says kissing my head as he walks past to the kitchen.

"And for all that is good in the world, Don't crash my baby," Rylee says handing Layla the keys. Layla smirks as we leave the house and head into town.

We have been to three stores already and so far everyone has got a dress but me, i haven't even tried one on yet.

"Come on Jess, you have to find a dress....Why won't you even try them on?" Kaylee asked holding a ton of dresses they want me to try. I shrug and look out the store window.

"Jess come on, you will look beautiful in them, i promise," Layla says hugging me. I sigh and take a few dresses and took them into the changing room. The first one i tried was red and long. Since i am short the long dresses won't work. I take out all the long ones and are left with the shorter ones. I try on a few black one and blue ones, even a pink one but still nothing is looking okay, or maybe it's because i am looking at the scars all over me. No one besides Justin has seen most of them, i have them all up my arms and back, even someone my legs. I was afraid to let everyone see them, that they would judge me. 

"Can we at least see one of them Jess?" Kaylee says from the other side of the door. I sigh and grab the last dress, it's white and has a sparkly strap. I slip it on and gasp at my reflection, i am in love with this dress, but it shows off all my scars.

"Women, you better open the dang door and let us see," Layla says in a loud voice. I slowly take a breath and open the door revealing a very shocked Kaylee and Layla. Layla smiles and pulls me out into the 180 degree mirror so i can see all angles of the dress.

"You look beautiful in that dress Jess. It's so perfect," she whispers to me with a smile. I smile and look at myself in the mirrow. Kaylee figured i needed space right now since she wasn't aware of the story but Layla was.

"I can't get this," i say going to step away but Layla holds me there.

"No, look at yourself now," she says as i look in the mirror, "See that girl there," she says pointing to me, "She is the most beautiful girl i have ever met in my life. She is strong and determined, she's brave and caring....Heck you are so kind to people even after everything you have been through. So what if you have scars, so what if people talk about it, you are freaking beautiful and deserve to be anything you want. Don't let your past define you, you are so much more than you see in that mirror, without you think of where I would be, where the idiots back at home would be. We are a family because of you, you are amazing Jess, and you deserve this one night to be perfect, and this dress is perfect for you. Screw the scars, i'll beat up anyone who says a word to you about it," She says making me smile as i wipe a few tears, they aren't sad tears but happy tears. I step down from the platform and hug her.

"Thanks Layla," I whisper as i pull away and look down at the dress. I do deserve to be happy.
