Jessica's POV

My life is ruined. I'm grounded to my room for a month, which is totally unfair because I'm 18 now. I need my freedom. I lost the love of my life because of something so stupid that I shouldn't have done. I'm so pissed off at myself. He's not speaking to me at all. I need him back in my life..

"Hey can I come in?" Derek asks as he knocks on my door.

"Yea..." I sigh as I lay back into my bed.

"Justin called my phone...here." he holds his phone out for me.

"Are you serious?"

I take his phone from him and put it to me ear.

"Hello?"

"Jessica, right?" Justin says. It's so good to hear his voice again.

"Yea...."

"Hi...um I know you probably hate me because of how I yelled at you. But I'm sorry. I just needed to get that off my chest."

"It's fine Justin."

"Are you sure?"

"Yea..."

"Alright. Well... I don't think I'm ready to be friends again or even a relationship yet. I need time to think."

"Okay.."

"Are you upset?"

"What do you think?"

"I guess that means yes."

"Yea..."

"Okay.....well Scooter said that when you get off grounding you can call him to meet up at a studio down there."

"Okay. Thanks for letting me know."

"No problem. Um bye I guess."

"Bye." I ended the call and handed the phone back to Derek.

"Well that was the most awkward conversation with him ever." I say as I plop back into my bed.

"I know you love him and miss him, but maybe you should move on." Derek says.

"I can't."

"I'm surprised you haven't taken down his posters."

"I tried. I bawled."

"You need to do something to get him off your mind."

"Like what??"

"I don't know..read a book, watch a movie."

"Ugh. I need my laptop. Why do you have your phone?"

"Because I wasn't the one who was pretending to be someone else. Also because I'm much older than you."

"Heard from Max?"

"Nope."

"What about Layla?"

"She's really sorry about talking us into every thing."

"I still have 2 weeks of torture ."

"Are you gonna move out?"

"I want too. I mean, since I have a record deal, I'll probably have too."

"Then do it."

"I'll probably move to New York or California."

"Oh yea, speaking of your record deal. Your songs on iTunes are at the top."

"Are you serious!?"

"Yes!! Just one of the reasons why there has been paparazzi outside of our house on and off."
