Love Never Dies (a JB love story)

Chapter 42

"Just do it, Justin.", I encouraged my boyfriend for the fifth time in ten minutes.

"I don't know...", Justin told me.

We were sitting in our bedroom on the edge of our bed. After we had watched some movies with Jazmyn, Jeremy, Sammy and Jaxon that morning, I gently suggested it was about time to call Pattie and to my suprise he had accepted my offer. Justin had succeeded in postponing that phonecall for 2 days now.

"I can call...", I offered, although I thought it was something Justin had to do.

"No. That's really sweet of you for offering but this is something I need to do", Justin weakly smiled at me.

"Okay, here goed nothing", Justin sighed.
He opened his phone and dialed Patties number. After two seconds he stopped the phonecall, tossed his phone aside and sighed again.

"I can't do this, I'm too nervous", he admitted as he looked down at his shaking hands.

"You can, baby", I whispered and I gently rubbed his back. With my free hand I hold his shaking hands.

"I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna call my mom.", he said, trying to convince himself.

After he had grabbed his phone he panicked again: "Maybe I can call tomorrow?"

"If you want me to be there when you do, you'll have to call right now since Sammy and me are leaving today..."

"You're right. I'm gonna put her on speaker so you can help me okay?"

"Alright, if that's what you want", I smiled up at him.

"But what if I don't know what to say?"

At the inside I was chuckling: Justin was always really cute when he was nervous.

"You always know what to say", I reassured him, "and if you don't I will step in, okay?"

"Yeah...yeah...okay", hesitation clear in his voice.

"Look at me", I said.

When he did,I continued: "you've got this!" "But what if-", I pressed my lips onto his to make him stop talking.

When I pulled back, his eyes were filled with confusion and amusement.

"Well, that was a nice way to shut me up", Justin chuckled. He inhaled and exhaled deeply and said:

"Okay...I'm gonna do this..."

And this time he really did call his mother. He put the phone on speaker, and together we waited for Pattie to reply to the phonecall. After a few seconds we heard the soft and sweet voice of Pattie saying:

"Justin?"

"Oh. Uh. H-h-hi mom. It's me. J-J-Justin", my boyfriend stuttered. He frowned and closed his eyes after realising what he had just said.

"I know silly", Pattie chuckled, "I read the caller's ID".
"Is everything alright with you?", she then questioned. The worry about her son was clear in her voice.

"Yeah, I'm fine but how are you?"

"I'm okay too"
