One Love

JEN'S POV

  I stormed out of the parked tour bus and away from who I thought was the love of my life.

  "Jen! Wait! I'm sorry!" Justin yelled after me.

  "Save it Justin! I don't want anything to do with you!" I yelled back and kept running away from him. And then it started to rain. Just great! I sat down on a bench and pulled my phone out.

  "Hello?" my mom asked.

  "M-mom can-can you p-pick me u-up?" I asked through my tears.

  "Why? Honey what happened?"

  "I'll explain later. Can you please just pick me up?"

  "How far away are you?"

  "About half an hour."

  "Okay honey. I'll be there soon. Just hold on."

  "I'll try."

  "I love you."

  "I love you, too, Mom."

  "Here sweetie. Justin told me to bring this to you," Pattie said handing me a heavy sweatshirt with a hood. "What happened?" she asked while sitting down next to me.

  I put the hoodie over my head and took a deep breath. It smelled like Justin. I wouldn't have worn it because it was his, but I was so wet from the rain, I didn't care. "I found out he was cheating on me with Selena. I came back into the tour bus and cried. Justin found me and asked me why I crying. I told him what I found out. We started fighting and then he- and then he said the reason that he cheated was because I was going to die anyway. Then I came out here. Why would he say that, Pattie? Why?" I cried.

  "Honey, I honestly don't know. He loves you. And that's a fact. I think the fame has changed him. He would never have done that to you. I'm going to have a talk with him later." She gave me a hug while I cried.

  My mom picked me up and I told her what happened. She drove me home and I went to my room and looked around. Pictures of Justin and I, the hats he gave me, and then I saw the promise ring that he gave me for Valentine's Day. More tears filled my eyes as I saw the ring.

  When he gave it to me, he got down on one knee so it looked like he was proposing to me. But instead he asked me if I'd go to the Valentine's Day Dance with him. I said yes of course and he slipped the ring onto my ring finger.

  My phone rang. Justin's face popped up on the screen. I grabbed my phone and threw it across the room. It hit my ring and the fake ruby fell out. I saw the red and it reminded me of the red rose I got when he gave me the purple hats. I got a bouquet of red roses earlier tonight, too, when I was Justin's One Less Lonely Girl on his Believe tour. That's when I thought he really cared about me.

  My phone rang again. I picked it up and looked at the screen. It was Paris. "Hello?" I asked.

  "Hey Jen. How was being Justin's One Less Lonely Girl?"

  "Lousy."

  "What happened?" I took a deep breath and told her everything. "I'll be over in half an hour with all the ice cream you can eat, a dart board, darts, and pictures of Selena," Paris said.

  "Thanks Paris. You're always there no matter what."

  "That's what a best friend is for," she replied and then I hung up.

  Half an hour later Paris was at the front door holding ice cream and everything else she said she would bring. We went into my room and she handed me a container of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream and a spoon. I ate my ice cream and then she hung the dart board on the back of my bedroom door. She covered every square inch of it with pictures of Selena. "Have a go at her," Paris told me.

  I picked up a dart and it hit her right in the lip. "She's not going to be kissing Justin for a long time now," Paris joked.

JUSTIN'S POV

  "Justin Drew!" My mom yelled.

  "What?" I yelled back irritated.

  She walked into my room on the tour bus. "You know dang right what happened! Jen told me. How could you hurt her like this?"

  "Selena's gorgeous, talented, and just plain amazing. Jen's just...normal."

  "You know Justin, there was a time when you said Jen was gorgeous, talented, and amazing. You didn't care if she was normal or famous. You didn't even care that she had cancer and lost her hair. You looked deeper than her looks. You looked in here." She put her pointer finger over my heart. "You were the smile on her face when her heart was frowning, Justin. Why take that away from her now?"

  Then she left leaving me alone with my thoughts. I remembered the day when Jen was sick and I wanted to kiss her. I kissed her anyway even though she was sick because that's how much I loved her. I put my head in my hands. What did I do?
