Neighborly Love

Chapter 17

Hailey's POV:

My legs had hurt next three days but I was still proud of myself that I had made it without calling anyone to pick me up. However mom was ready to start a fight about that in 1am, when I had finally made my way back to home.

"Why did you came back home walking?" she had asked first but I hadn't answered anything. "Don't you know how dangerous those streets are that time of the day?? You would have get kidnapped or raped there. Hailey Camilla Dean, answer to me" she had yelled and I had just told that I wanted to go sleep.

"Let's talk about that tomorrow, okay? Good night, mom" I had greeted and closed the door of my room behind me. I had threw my high heels in the corner, pulled my nude- colored tights off which had go ripped since I had walked the rest of the way without my high heels which had given me cysts back off my botb heels.

I had pulled off my dress and laid on the bed just on my underwears, texted Charlotte who had been asking after me with over 20 messages, that I was fine and safely at home.

After that I had finally got a chance to start sleep. I had been so tired on that night.

Now I was sitting in the lunch table and checking mails while I ate my porridge. "There was some letter for you, sweetie" mom yelled from the living room where she was watching some document with Richard.

I started quickly search that envelope with my name under all those magazines and newspapers before I found it. I ripped it open and pulled out a picture of me and... Shawn.

"It was one of your favorite nights, wasn't it? (maybe the best so far, I could guess) It was a magical night for us too -- Maybe I should do that more often. Not just because I would like to share more moments like this with you but because you deserve only the best"

I was speechless. Not because the letter but thought of that how stupid, I have been when I hadn't realized that it was Justin, who had been behind this letter thing all the time.

Now all of sudden I started remember every moment with him which he had tried remind me about with those pictures. Me sitting edge of the fountain, me swinging in the swing... everything that I had shared with just one person, and that person was Justin Bieber, my neighbor.

I couldn't that thing just be now when I had finally found the answer to that question. I had to go talk with him because otherwise this little tension and acting would really make some bad marks to us.

I changed my clothes something more comfortable, grabbed my home keys and heated out of our house. I felt how heart started beat faster what closer I got his house. I stopped right in front of his door, took a long breath and knocked his door. Soon he came open it.

"Oh hi, Hailey. I didn't expect you would be coming" he mumbled but I couldn't recognize was he happy or annoyed about my appear.

"Me too, it has been a long time since I have visited your place last time. Don't get me wrong that I'd not want to but you-" "I know your situation, yeah?" he sighed and was ready to close his door in front of me face. "Sorry Hailey but if you came here just to remind me about that, I don't know do I want listen that story"

"I know clearly how things are. You don't have to keep reminding me about that every single day. You have showed it with your actions too so... please" he continued. "But I didn't come here because of that" I said quickly, before he closed the door.

He stopped and I could see a little blink of happiness corner of his eye. "Well then... step in" he moved away in front of his door and let me step in.

"It was you" I mumbled and made Justin turn around. He looked me asking. "That person who kept sending those letters for me" I added and his gaze moved quickly on the floor.

"Well, that too suprisingly long from you to figure it out" he chuckled and moved his gaze back to me after his words. "Did you like them?" he asked. "Yeah, they were c- Wait, no... Justin you shouldn-" He put his finger over my first before I could finish the sentence.

"Can you try not, at least during this one conversation, talk about your wonderful boyfriend and how I shouldn't mess your thing, okay? Because I am not trying to do that" he sighed frustrated and when I nodded agreeing, he removed his finger off over my lips.

"Good, so where we were? Those letters" he hummed. "Even you try so hard to pretend you didn't like them, I know you deep down did" He was right but I couldn't admit it in front of him, at least not yet.

"They were nice" I smiled a little and moved my hair behind my ear. "I didn't have any idea it was just before that last picture" I chuckled myself how blind I had been. Justin chuckled too.

"But I was serious with those messages I wrote for you, you know" he moved closer to me. "I really thought about that, I maybe should call Shawn to come throw a little private gig for you if nothing else works on you" he grinned. "Yeah but-"

"You can stop acting, Hails. Seriously, this starts get a little boring already. Losing isn't a shame" Justin said and moved his hands over my shoulders. "That night was magical, wasn't it?" he tried make me look at him in his eyes but I didn't accept it.

"Yeah, it was. Shawn was amazing" I tried turn the conversation to other side which Justin was leading it. Justin chuckled and shook his head. "Damn, you're holding that character up so hard"

I laughed. "Or then it is just me, believe me or not" "Or then you can't just let yourself listen your heart" Justin raised his eyebrows and made me freeze a little. "I can see inside you and your mouth is saying things which aren't coming from your heart, believe me or not" he continued.

"You should leave now, Hailey" and I left without words.
