chapter 16

jessica's POV

i wake up. and i have no clue where i am. i stand up to see my mom sleeping in the chair next to me.

"mom? where am i..?" i ask frightened. the last thing i remember was me crying and justin carrying me.

"honey, you're in the nurses office. you found out some pretty harsh news yesterday and you didn't take it well." she says

i start seeing flashbacks of sam and tracy. im confused. why is just the two of them? as I think deeper i see them kissing. and everything starts to come back to memory.

"mom.. are tracy and sam..?" i asked holding in my tears.

"honey, lay back down okay?" my mom says while pushing me down.

"no, mom tell me! i deserve to know.." i say.

i honestly didn't wanna hear what her answer was but i needed to make sure it was true.

"yeah.. you saw them kissing and you just couldn't take it on top of everything else so you cried and ran and you were breathing top fast and you got on the ground and said "i can't do this anymore." and justin was there and picked you up and brought you back here." she says, i start to cry. but i don't wanna waste my tears on them.

"justin..?" i question. "where is he now?"

"i told him to go home and get some rest. and i said" she gets cut off.

"is she awake?" just asked with a bag in his hand.

"yeah, come over here and say hi." my mom says while moving for justin. "ill leave you two alone." she says while leaving.

"justin, thank you." i say.

"of course. and tracy came by here earlier.." he says while rolling his eyes.

why in the world would tracy come over? obviously not to apologize. she probably came to rub it in my face and say something like "haha i have sam and you don't!" she doesn't care what she did to me. she's never even cared about me. and im done being her friend.

"what did she say?" i say, not wanting to know the answer.

"just to apologize but I was saying don't even start. that you haven't even been a friend to her and if you were really her friend you would never do that." he says. "but that doesn't matter. what matters is that you're okay." he says while putting his hand on me.

"yeah, and it's all because of you." i smile.

i sit up.

"justin?" i ask

"yeah?" he responds

"can i ask you a question?" i say

"of course, anything!" he says

okay, here it goes..

"why do you care so much about me? you come here with so many girls all over you. you could have picked one of those girls to help, but you choose me. even though you knew i likes sam. why?" i ask nervously.

but it's the truth. im nothing special and he has been by my side ever since.

"the truth?" he asks

"yeah.." i say.

"because i like you, jess. i have ever since i layed my eyes on you. and the thing this, you're not just "one of the girls." you're so special. you have the biggest smile ive ever seen it can make my whole day. your eyes light up the whole room. and you have great style. you come in to school not caring what you think. you don't let anything bring you down. and lastly, you're beautiful. everything about you from head to toe. and i adore you. every last thing about you." he says while blushing and looking down at his hands.

im speechless. no guy has ever thought that about me.

"justin, i don't even know what to say.. that was incredible." i say.

"and i understand if you don't like me, but nothing will ever change the way i feel about you." he says

"justin, i do like you. a lot. more then i thought was possible. thank you so much, for everything." i say while putting my hands on his.

"no problem jess" he says while kissing my forehead.

"so what's in the bag?" i question.
