Try Me (Justin Bieber)

8:Run

**Melania's POV**

Today was raining. Hard. The storm was brewing. I was wrong to go to Justin last night, but I felt safe and warm. Justin wouldn't let up with what had happened to me, he knew something was going on and he was not going to stop until he got the answers he deserved. 

"Melania, just tell me what is happening. Explain yourself, I can't keep finding you like this, it is killing me". Justin continued and would not let up.

You have to tell him.

I was scared because I did not want Justin to get hurt. "Justin, we have to get to school. Thank you for being there for me last night and I am so so sorry I got you involved in this..". Justin sighed and realized it would be a while before he got an answer from me. He would keep on pushing though.

"You know I'm not gonna let this go, right?"

"Yes, but we can talk later on, we're going to be late". Justin got ready and I did as well, I wore his clothes to school because I did not want to go home. The car ride was silent as we drove, the rain and thunder being the only source of noise. 

I'm pushing him away...

When we arrived to school, Taylor was there in the parking lot. I told Justin I would meet him inside and he just nodded his head. When Justin was out of sight, I went to Taylor and apologized for not coming to him last night, Taylor told me to get in the car and I wasn't about to protest. When we were in his car, Taylor asked, "What were you thinking? You went to a boys house after we all thought you died from that explosion? You had me worried sick". 

"I lost my phone while I was there, I somehow got away from the blast but gave myself a concussion and some wood stabbed me in the side when I got thrown... I went to Justin's because I wasn't thinking. I didn't tell him anything but I wanted to". I trailed off knowing Taylor would not be happy with me.

There was a long pause, "I'm just glad you're safe. I found your phone though-" Taylor handed it to me, "just please be more careful, and make sure this Justin kid is someone who you can truly trust... I know you've needed someone since Amanda and I'm sorry. Come to the warehouse tonight, we have some business to handle. See ya later". I thanked Taylor and made my way into school. 

As soon as I walked in, Cody met me in the hallway. He seemed much better than yesterday when he decided to unexpectedly kiss me. 

"So, no awkwardness, right?" I nervously asked. "Nope, none at all. You were my first friend here and I'd like to keep it that way". I cracked a small smile. I looked around and started to walk to class, Cody trailing behind. I caught a glimpse of Brittany and her broken nose.

You know what, I need to stop being such a hard-ass, I don't need to hurt people unless it's for Taylor and Amanda. 

I decided I should go apologize, maybe start anew and not come off as such a bitch, "Cody, I'll meet you in class, there's something I have to do". I approached Brittany, she looked startled and nervous that I was the one doing the approaching. 

"Brittany, listen. I don't want to fight anymore and I'm sorry for breaking your nose... Truce?" I tried putting on my nicest face, but I wanted to make this right. Justin came up and asked what was going on. I was about to speak but Brittany interrupted and stated, "She wants to hurt me again, please help me Justin". Justin turned to me and mouthed, I don't believe her.

Justin grabbed my hand and pulled me away towards the bathroom. We were standing next to the window and lightning cracked down next to it. "You would've already hurt her if you wanted too... I don't think you were gonna hurt her. What were you doing talking to her?"
