Shawna's POV
I opened my eyes and it was still dark out. Justin was sleeping beside me and I laid there for a few minutes before deciding to get up. It was 6:30 am. Way too early for me, but I was up anyway so I decided I'd take a walk.
The cold December air hit me as soon as I stepped outside Justin's grandparents' house.
I walked downtown a little and saw signs for the concert I'll be doing the day before Christmas Eve.
Since it had been awhile, I decided to call Nina.
"Hello?" She answered.
"Hey! I miss you." I sighed.
"I miss you too. I think about you all the time!"
"I think about you too. Are you home for the holidays?" I asked.
"Yeah. But enough talk on me. What's going on between you and Justin? And why didn't I ever know you could sing?"
"Oh sorry about that. I was always too nervous. Justin and I are okay right now. I'm mad at him but he still cuddled with me last night. He might think that I'm not mad but I'm pissed."
"Why?"
"He had some slut in a club do a lap dance on him. On top of that he was underaged drinking."
"That's what your mad about?" Nina chuckled.
"Well yeah?"
"Shawna, he's an 18 year old boy that went to a club. You expect him not to do something? And big whoop if he had a lap dance. Justin is the most trustworthy guy you know and don't deny it. He's always been loyal to you. So don't overreact."
"I guess you're right. But he cheated on me Nina."
"Well then why did you go back to him?"
"I don't know. I love him."
"Exactly. He loves you just as much and I've seen it, he'll do anything for you. I'm not kidding Shawna." She said.
"Okay I guess you're right...again. I better go back, he might wonder where I am."
"Okay. I'll have to come see you soon! Love ya."
"Love ya." I hung up and started walking back to Bruce and Diane's.
It was just getting light out when I walked inside and I went back upstairs into the room I was sleeping in. Justin was still sleeping and the room was still dark, so I crawled back in bed and laid beside him. I saw him smile but he kept his eyes close and wrapped his arms around me, pulling me into a hug.
"Where'd you go babe?" He asked in a raspy voice.
"Just took a walk."
"Oh." He kissed my cheek.
"I'm sorry Justin." I said softly, "sorry I treat you like crap when you deserve way better."
"Babe what are you talking about?" He furrowed his eyebrows together.
"I'm saying that I don't treat you with as much respect as you deserve. You'd crawl to the ends of the earth for me and I realized that I'm not the best girlfriend-"
"Shawna, you are the most perfect girlfriend in the world. Look at me." He put his fingers under my chin and lifted it so I could look into his eyes. "I love you with every piece of me and you mean the world to me. And you're right, I would crawl to the ends of the earth for you because you're worth it. I've never felt this way about someone. I am the luckiest person in the world to be with you. I want you to know that."
