One Lucky Girl

I Promise.

It’s been 3 ½ weeks since Justin left for tour I’ve been super busy with Playboy appearances and different things. But I’m on a plane right now headed home my mom called this morning and my Papaw passed away in his sleep last night.

This was so unexpected he was doing fine and he went to the doctor yesterday for a checkup and they said he was fine he just needed to eat more, drink more and walk more and he’d get better well they were wrong. My Mamaw found him this morning and Hef flew me out using the Playboy jet to get be home quicker.

I cried the whole way to the house and once I finally arrived I ran in and went straight to his room. He was still lying on the couch my Mamaw was sitting on the floor beside his couch crying. I walked over to her and wrapped my arms around her. We sat there for a while crying until the ambulance, cop and coroner showed up and did everything they had to do before they could take the body.

My Mamaw left the room and I bent down and kissed his forehead and told him I loved him. Then they took him away I called a couple friends before building enough courage to call Justin without bursting into tears. I dialed his number He’s in Tampa, Florida tonight but it’s still early in the day so he won’t be busy. I waited for him to pick up.

“Hey baby.” He said “Hi.” I said “What’s wrong?” He asked I began to cry again “Aaliyah what’s wrong baby?” He asked “Papaw passed away this morning.” I said laying my head back against the wall as I slowly let myself fall to the floor.

“Oh god baby are you alright.” He asked “Not really I need you!” I said not holding back my tears anymore. “Okay. I’ll be there Saturday after the show. I’m so sorry baby I’ll get there as quick as I can.” He said “It’s alright it was unexpected and I know you have work.”I said wiping my tears with my sweatshirt sleeve. “Alright I swear I’ll come as fast as I can.” He said “Alright I love you.” I said “I love you too baby stay strong.” He said hanging up.

 I lost it every ounce of emotion I had in my body shifted itself to sadness. I went into my room and cried for hours before I finally decided to join everyone outside people were coming to give their condolences but I just wanted Justin…. Or my papaw but since it can’t be him I just need Justin to hold me and tell me everything was going to be alright.

Everyone hugged me and tried to make it better but anytime someone tried to talk to me I just cried. Ava came and as soon as she got there I ran up and hugged her we both started crying. Ava and I have been best friends since kindergarten we fight every now and then but when I really need someone she’s always there.

It was a long few days full of people visiting and bringing food and the funeral turned out amazing he looked like he was sleeping. Justin is coming tonight he’s been calling every chance he gets to check on me. I

walk into my room and change into sweats and a sweat shirt then I pulled my hair into a pony tail. I laid in my bed and I couldn’t hold in my tears any more I broke down shoving my face into my pillow. After about an hour of crying I heard my door open I took my face out of the pillow and saw Justin standing in the doorway with tears in his eyes he stiffened when I looked at him trying not to show his emotion. I got up and ran over to him slamming my body into his holding him tight like if I let go I was going to lose him.

 “I’m so sorry I couldn’t be here sooner Aaliyah.” He said I just buried my head further into his chest. He held me tight “I love you baby and I’m so sorry you’re going through this but I will stay with you for as long as I can.” He said “I love you too.” I said releasing the hold I had on him. He wiped the tear from my face “You look tired let’s lay down.” He said “Alright.” I said

We laid down and he wrapped his arms around me I buried my head into his chest. “Justin what am I going to do?” I said hugging him tighter “It will be alright baby things will get better I promise. I’m here for you.” He said

“Okay good, I can’t lose you Justin you’re the only person I wanted with me when my mom called the morning he passed away.” I said “I’m not going anywhere Aaliyah. I’ll be here for you for as long as you want me to.” He said “Justin I want to spend the rest of my life with you, As soon as my contract is up with Playboy I’m all yours. I’ll go anywhere in the entire world with you.” I said moving my head back to look at him.

“I want to spend the rest of my life with you too Aaliyah but first…” He said getting up, He walked over and grabbed something out of his suitcase and came back over sitting next to me on the bed. “But first…I want to give you this.”He said handing me a little box. I opened it and

 “Aaliyah I want to marry you someday and when the time is right I will propose to you I promise, so for now I give you this ring as a promise to always be here for you even when I can’t physically be here, Aaliyah I promise to someday make you my wife and start our own family. I want to wake up beside you every day and fall asleep with you every night I want you to get mad at me and us to fight for stupid reasons just so we can spend all night making up. I know maybe tonight isn’t the perfect timing to do this but I’ve planned on doing it for months I just keep chickening out. But as soon as your contracts up I want you to move in with me and I want you on tour with me. I want the world to know about us Aaliyah no more hiding in the dark. I want to give you the world because you give me everything just by breathing. I know things are complicated with Selena and all that drama but no matter how much I let her get under my skin you will always be the girl I love don’t ever forget that. I love you Aaliyah with every ounce of feelings in my body.” He said.

He wiped a tear from my face “I love you Justin and I want to marry you too I do think it’s a good idea to wait but I know you’ll know when the time is right and I’m sure it will be the perfect proposal because that’s just who you are. And Justin you do give me the world just hearing you say you love me is more than I could ever ask for. I can’t wait to start a family with you Justin. And as for your timing right now it was perfect.”I said wrapping my arms around his neck.”I love you.” He said inching his face closer to mine. “I love you too.” I said closing the gap between us. We lay back down under the blankets “Goodnight babe, I love you Sweet dreams” He said puling me in closer to him and kissing my neck “I love you too! Goodnight.” I said
