The Boy I Bullied

CHAPTER 1

I woke up to a bright morning. It was a nice day, in fact it was a perfect summer day. I have my eyes open for about three seconds until I realize that today is the day. I grab my phone off of the night stand next to my twin size bed, and I open the "messages" app. I quickly text my friend Olivia.

text:

reply:

A few moments later I received a reply.

reply:

*FLASHBACK*

I sat down at a lunch table with Olivia and a couple of other people. Across the cafeteria I could see Justin sitting next his friend Ryan. Ryan gave Justin an apple to go along with his sandwich. I had seen this exchange almost everyday. Justin couldn't afford a big lunch, or new clothes for that matter. I stood up quickly and confidently walked over to them.

"Aw do you need to visit your own personal food pantry again!?" I said with a smirk

"Shut up Allie!" Ryan said.

"No, it's okay bro. You don't need to stick up for me" Justin said to Ryan.

I walked away. I smiled to myself and thought 'job well done'. Out of the corner of my eye I could see someone sit next to them. I assume it was Chaz.

*FLASHBACK OVER*

yeah you're probably right.

I sat up in my bed and thought about how long we have waited for this day, even though we've know Justin for a long time. I still couldn't get past the thought that Justin might remember.

After a few minutes of thinking, I got up and took a shower. I put on black skinny jeans and a plain white shirt. I straightened my light brown hair and walked down the stairs. My mother was probably out running like she does every morning. So I left a note that read, "I'm leaving to go pick up Olivia for the concert! :)".

I grabbed the keys that had been sitting on the counter and went outside through the front door. I got in the car and drove to Olivia's house, she didn't live far away. It only took about ten minutes before I pulled up to her house. I texted her and told her that I was outside. Seconds after it sent she walked out wearing light blue jean shorts and a shirt with an infinity sign on it. She got into the car with a big smile on her face, I smiled back.

"Are you ready?" Olivia said.

"Yep, are you?" I replied

She said yes. I pulled out of her driveway and we began to talk about how fun the concert will be. It took about an hour to get to the arena, the traffic was heavy, which made the trip longer. When we pulled up to the parking garage there was an old man who sat in a booth wearing a vest. We gave him $3 and he lifted the divider that was separating us from parking. When we found a parking spot, we got out and walked to the arena. There was about 30 minutes until they opened the doors, the time past fast. As the doors opened, girls were screaming. Olivia and I decided to join them.

There were tabled where officers were checking bags, it took about 20 minutes for us to get past that line. When we did, Olivia and I rushed to the merchandise table. We each got matching bracelets and shirts. We got lost on our way to our seats, but eventually an employee directed us to our seats. We were in front row.

Minutes after we sat down a time and a key showed up on the screen. It read "09:59:". Olivia got up an went to the restroom. As I sat in my seat, I heard 'Billie Jean by Michael Jackson' playing over the speakers. Eventually Olivia came back. As the timer was down to seconds, the lights dimmed and girls started to scream. I was jumping and screaming when the timer hit "00:00"

Cody Simpson came on stage and sung songs from his new album. He was good, but I was here for Justin. After Cody left, Carly Rae Jepsen came on, I didn't really like her performance. After both of them were done it had been about 45 minutes since the timer left the screen. A series of clips started to play which meant Justin was going to come out soon. I started to get nervous but I covered it by screaming and cheering with Olivia. As I was about to say something to Olivia the stage separated and wings appeared. A person was connected to the wings made of instruments, it was Justin Bieber. He slowly came down, being held up by the cheer of the audience. When he hit the stage his dancers unstrapped him from the contraption.

He looked around until the beat started out of no where. He sang 'All Around The World' and danced around the stage. The concert went on as he sung songs from his album 'Believe'. About an hour into the concert 'One Less Lonely Girl' started to play. You could feel the hope that thousand of girls who wanted to be the OLLG were letting off. I was watching Justin sing and wave his arms over his head until a saw a familiar woman walk down the aisle. It was Allison, I had seen her in 'Never Say Never'. I didn't think I would get picked to be the One Less Lonely Girl so I kept dancing and singing along until some one tapped on my shoulder. I turned around and it was Allison.

"Do you want to be the one less lonely girl?" She practically screamed because the music was so loud.

I looked to Olivia for approval and she just smiled and pushed me toward Allison. I smiled and followed Allison. She was walking fast, so I walked fast. She was talking to me but I couldn't make out what she was saying. We walked back stage, and passed people I had seen in NSN and had been following on twitter. They smiled at me and continued doing their job. Alison walked me to the place where the entrance to the stage was located. She smiled and lightly pushed me through the curtains. The dancers lead me to a chair made of speakers. I sat down and my eyes slowly adjusted to the bright lights. I couldn't really see the thousands of people in front of me because the spotlight was on me.

The music was so loud, I could barely hear the people screaming below me, but I knew Justin was near because the screams seemed to get louder. I looked behind me and there he was. He looked at me with his deep brown eyes. He walked toward the edge of the stage and sung

"I'm gonna put you first, I'll show you what you're worth"

He waved his arms above his head, I did the same. As he walked toward me I didn't know what to do so I just smiled. He sat next to me and put a flower crown around my head and gave me flowers. When he finished serenading me, he asked my name. I hesitated, but eventually I told him.

"Allie"

"Thank you, Allie!" He said.

We walked backstage. He was really sweaty. He took a drink of water from a bottle someone had given him.

"Have I seen you before?" He asked

"Maybe in the crowd?" I replied shakily

"No, I don't think so.."

"Well we used to go -"

I was cut off when someone told Justin to hurry up.

"Well, I have to go. But after the show meet me at my tour bus behind the building?"

"Sure" I said with a nervous smile.
