Neighborly Love

Chapter 16

Justin's POV:

"I didn't know that you sing" she cut me off, and made my heart stop beating so fast. She wasn't mad. "Oh, I thought that I have told about that to you but well... now you know" I spread my arms and chuckled a little.

She giggled and looked down on her feet. "I mean, I knew but not this way. I didn't know that you do gigs and stuff. I have seen those lyrics on your table but I-" she stopped talking suddenly.

I couldn't help but smile a bit. I didn't know was it because she was acting so shy around me or because we were talking after a long time and how good it felt actually now. "Did you like my songs?" I asked carefully.

She nodded slowly. "Yeah, that last song just made me wonder, one thing..." she mumbled. "What?" I looked her asking and she giggled. "To whom this song was addressed? I mean, there must have been someone who you thought about when you wrote it"

My cheeks heaten but thankfully the downward sun and its different shades of orange light, covered my light red cheeks. "One beautiful girl" I said quietly. "Oh, well that girl must be lucky then. Have you ever sang that song to her?" she asked.

"No..." I mumbled while opened the lock from my car and put my guitar on the backseat. "Before now" I added and jumped in my car.

"Was that girl inside?" Hailey looked me with gaze which was mix of shock and some kind of disappointment. Her question made me laugh a little. How could she be that innocent tonight?

"Let's stop playing, Hailey. We both know who that girl was" I shook my head and closed the door of my car but kept still the window open. "Well, I don't, so would you like to enlighten me a bit because this starts get a little weird" she rolled her eyes.

"You kept showing me with your actions that you still like me and want me back but same time you're writing love songs for some random chick who is from my class. What the f-" she raised her voice but on that moment I couldn't take it anymore.

"It's you, Hailey. It has been and always will be you whose name will echo in my head while I keep writing songs. You, you, you..." I yelled out not caring if someone hear me.

I was tired of this conversation with her already. "But sadly you won't ever feel the same way back" I mumbled to her before I rolled my window close and drove away, leaving her stand in the parking lot without words.

Hailey's POV:

"But sadly you won't ever feel the same way back" But. sadly. you. won't. ever. feel. the. same. way. back. I went through every word one by one in my head. Was he serious when he said that, or was this some kind of joke?

I would have been ready to give every single piece of me to him last spring but he was the one who let me down. He didn't had any clue, how much that hurt me on that time, and now too when he once again opened those scars of mine.

He fucked up; like he admitted earlier himself already, so I didn't find any reason to his acting right now.

I stood there in the parking lot, confused and a little shocked still even Justin had already left. I felt so empty inside. Soon I heard how the front door of our party place opened, and how Hannah yelled at me if everything was okay.

"I think that I will go back to home now. I don't feel so well right now" I yelled back. "But you don't have a ride there. Wait a sec I will call Cha-" "No, I'm fine. I'm sure that I can get someone to drive me back. Just enjoy your night there with Charlotte" I tried smile to her even it didn't feel right.

Hannah looked me still a moment to make sure that I really wanted leave, before she moved back to inside.

I turned around and started walk toward the closest bus stop. After 15 minutes waiting, the right bus came and a young man opened the door for me. I stepped in and tried take out my bus card from my purse, before I realized that I didn't have it with me. So like I didn't have money either.

"Sorry but I have nothing what with to pay" I mumbled and nodded him to open again the door behind me. Seemly I had to walk back then. The journey would be long by walk but I more likely did it than went back in front of all those fake people inside.

I didn't want hear all those girls disgusting comments how handsome Justin had looked on the stage and how they would do anything to get his number. I'd have made a big help all those girls, Justin and myself, by giving his number to them.

Doing that would have maybe made him forget me but something inside me told that it wouldn't have been right. Was it because I didn't want see him with any other girl than me? Was I really getting jealous over that?

Were my own thoughts and scenaries making me jealous over a guy, who I couldn't take because I was already in the relationship? Did I still cared about him that much I didn't want to let him move on?
