One Love

Chapter Six

JEN'S POV

  I was thrilled about going to the concert, don't get me wrong, but it just seems like he's not the Justin I fell in love with. He's giving me material things and unforgettable experiences. I wanted unforgettable experiences, but not those kind. I want the little things that put a smile on your face when you're having a bad day. Like when the power went out and I had to spend the night at Justin's. I'm smiling now even thinking about it. Little things go a long way, and once he forgets that, it seems like it's over. I just want Justin to be here and hold me in his arms like he did on that cold February night.

SATURDAY

  "You look wonderful," Justin said as I walked out of my house in a blue and white flowered sun dress.

  "Thanks." He obviously didn't care what he looked like because he was in sweat pants and a t-shirt. A Maple Leafs t-shirt to be exact. It's the same one he was wearing the day we went to the New Year's Eve game. I liked him better this way though because it reminded me of how he was before he got famous. Actually, when we first met he was in sweat pants. I don't even know how I could've remembered that though.

  As if he could read my mind he said,"Don't worry, I'm not performing like this. I have to change and everything else at the arena."

  "I wish you could perform like this. It's like the old you."

  "I'm still me."

  "I know, but I mean before you got famous. I feel like I'm losing the Justin that I fell in love with."

  "Why?"

  "You're not home and I don't need all these material things. I just want you. I want it to be like when the power went out and I fell asleep in your arms. I want it to be like when I was sick and you ditched school to come over and take care of me. You probably think I'm being selfish by asking you to change. You don't need to change, you just need to be around and remember the little things."

  "My tour is done in three weeks, but I'm guessing that's too long to wait. I don't think you're being selfish. Long distance relationships are hard to keep."

  "They are. I'm sorry."

  "What are we going to do until then?"

  "Stay friends I guess."

  "I can't."

  "Why not?"

  "Every day that I live without you, I fall harder and harder for you. I need you in my life."

  "And I need you. But we'll have to wait. I'm sorry."

JUSTIN'S POV

  We got to the arena and I performed with Taylor Swift. When she sang her song Tim Mcgraw I remembered that music video. There was scene where Taylor and her boyfriend in the video were laying on a picnic blanket underneath the stars. That's when I had an idea.

  I saw that Jen wasn't wearing the promise ring that I gave her. I wasn't surprised, though. After all I'd done, it was a miracle that she'd even talk to me. When I was backstage changing, I decided to call Paris to ask her a quick question.

  "Hey, where's Jen's promise ring?" I asked as Paris picked up her phone.

  "It broke."

  "How?"

  "You called her and she threw her phone. Her phone ended up hitting the ring which was sitting on the edge of her dresser and the gem fell out."
