*Molly's POV*
Justin stays at my house for the next fortnight, (No, we don’t “sleep” together, you dirty piggy.) and he surprised me with breakfast this morning.
“Morning grumpy,” Justin says from behind me and the door to my bedroom closes behind him.
“Hey,” I grab the coffee and the scone from his hand.
“What are we gonna do today, Molls?” Justin interrupts my gulping.
“I don’t know. What do you want to do?”
“Well, I’m heading down to the studio with Usher a bit later,” He says.
“That sounds like fun.”
“Come with me, then.”
“I don’t want to interrupt anything you and Ush are doing, Jay… Besides, it’s been ages since you’ve even mentioned Usher! You guys are probably doing something important or-…”
He shakes his head, “Of course you’re coming! Usher would love to see you, Molly, you know that. And you also know that you wouldn’t be interrupting anything at the studio...” He looks down. “Do you not want to come? That’s totally fine if you don’t want to come, I understand and I’m fine with it, I really am-…”
“Justin!” I interrupt him, my voice raised slightly.
When Justin feels nervous, or uncomfortable, or like there’s something he doesn’t know about, he tends to ramble.
He shakes his head and looks down again, his shoulders tense.
“J-Justin?” I say, softer this time.
He sniffles ever so lightly; so lightly you wouldn’t be able to hear it unless you knew him as well as I do.
He looks up at me, licks his lips, and wipes his running nose with the back of his hand.
Oh my God. He’s crying. Like, really crying.
I don’t think you understand this: Justin Bieber never cries around people. Ever. He refuses to show his emotions in those ways. I’ve heard him crying multiple times before, he cries when he talks to God a lot, but this is maybe the first time he’s ever cried in front of me.
I feel...honored, in a way. Special.
“What’s wrong, Jay?” I ask him.
He squeezes his eyes shut and shakes his head.
“I don’t believe that for one second, Justin. Why would you be crying if there was nothing wrong?”
He tries, and fails, to recollect himself but tears continue to stream down his face.
“Justin. It’s me. You can talk to me about anything. You know that,” I reassure him.
It’s these moments where I wish I could sing like Justin can.
Whenever I’m feeling down or low, Justin always sings me a song that fits the situation perfectly, and it always picks me up.
Damn tone-deafness.
“Please, Justin. Let me know what’s up so I can help you.”
He licks his chapped lips again. “I just don’t…”
He stops himself.
I pick myself up off the couch I slept on and walk to the couch Justin’s sitting on, sitting myself on his lap.
I pick his head up and our eyes meet. “Justin. Tell me.”
“I don’t like thinking that the feelings I have for you are going to make it awkward between us,” He nods.
“Justin,” I shake my head. “let me quote you on something here, alright? Just bare with me.”
He smiles lightly and I continue: “It’s all about positivity.”
He chuckles.
“I’m serious!” I laugh.
“I know you are, I know you are.”
“Are you sure that’s the real reason that you’re upset? I mean…Justin, you never cry around me. You always try to hide it, so there has to be more of a reason…”
He averts his gaze again.
“Stop doing that on me, Jay! I’m right here! Literally! I’m on top of you right now,” He smirks a bit at that ‘reference’ but I continue on. “If you’re so ‘worried’ about awkwardness between us then you have to be able to trust in me. You’ve always been able to…why is it any different now?”
“I’m sorry,” He voice cracks and I watch a tear roll down his cheek. “I don’t mean to push you away. I do trust in you, of course I do, I’m just a coward.”
“Whose afraid of what?”
“Losing you. Or hurting you. Or having you not feel the way I do… All of those things and more… And that’s the problem, Molly. I’ve been trying my best not to pressure you into anything because I don’t want to do that, but I’m scared you don’t love me, and I love you….so much.”
I take a quick breath, “I-…”
And then he kisses me.
