Derek took off and I went back upstairs. I took off my clothes and got in the shower. The warm water hit my sweaty skin and washed it off. After fifteen minutes I turned off the water faucet and grabbed the towel. I wrapped the towel around my body and went into my room. The front door squealed and I remembered I forgot to lock it after Derek left. I wasn't too worried because I thought it might have been my mom or dad.
I went out to the hallway to see who it was.
I bumped into some mascular arms. My towel fell off and I looked to see it was Derek. I quickly picked up the towel to cover my body. My cheeks started to burn and I shot him a confused look. He was trying not to stare at me. He quickly covered his eyes and turned around.
"What are you doing here Derek?" I ran to my room to get something on my exposed body.
"I'm sorry. I forgot my bag and I had my skecthbook in there. I ca-" I finished dressing and interrupted him.
"Derek you can come in my room now." He came inside my room and sat on my couch. I gave him a look to keep going.
"I came back and knocked on the door but you didn't answer. I knocked for like five minutes. I thought something happened to you." He said bowing his head.
"Aww I'm sorry. I'm fine Derek." It meant so much that he actually cared about me.
"Yeah well I shook the doorknob and the door was unlocked. I opened it and came to grab my bag until I bumped into you." He chuckled and his cheeks were red. "I'm sorry Caroline."
"It's ok Derek. Really. I'm actually glad it was you." He smiled and I smiled back.
"Well I got to go, maybe we can hangout tomorrow?" "Yeah I'll see you tomorrow Derek." He went to grab his bag.
"Bye Caroline!" He waved and left. I fell on my bed and drifted to sleep.I heard something knock on my window. I looked at my phone screen and shot my eyes closed. I opened them and adjusted to the brightness. I looked at the time it was 1:15 am. What the hell. I've been asleep that long. I heard the knock again. I went to my window and opened the curtains slowly and quietly. I saw Derek across from me with a slight smile. I unlocked my window and opened it.
"Hey" Derek said with a low voice.
"Hey. what are you doing still awake at this time." My voice was raspy.
"I couldn't sleep. My parents have been acting weird around me. I can't take it. It's like they're hiding something from me."
"Derek it's ok. I'm pretty sure they dont want to hurt you and they're waiting for the perfect time to tell you."
"Yeah maybe you're right but I can't sleep. I had a bad dream about it. That's why I couldn't sleep...So I thought about you." Aww Derek is so sweet. But what was I thinking about. I had just gotten out of a bad situation and the worst thing is that I'm still in love with him. I still...I still love Justin.
"I don't want to sleep Caroline" I looked in Derek's eyes and saw how tired and scared he was.
"You want to..um sleep with me." I asked him hesitantly, not sure if I was right or not to say it.
"It'd be comforting. But I dont want to bother you." "You need it Derek and I want to be here for you." He looked me in the eye and his eyes were softly thanking me. He crossed the windows and fell on my floor. We laughed and I helped him. His hand touched mine and I quickly pulled away not giving him any signals. He smiled and I looked away.
I hopped on my bed and patted for him to lay next to me. I hugged him and he rested his chin on my shoulder.
"I know you're scared Derek. Its ok just go to sleep and rest." I said.
"Thank you" He hugged me tighter and then pulled away and layed his body against my bed. I fell next to him and looked at his eyes. They were beautifully honey brown, glistening in the moonlight. He stroke my cheek and I looked at my hands pulling away my face. His finger picked up my chin and my eyes met his. He came closer and I felt his breath on my lips. I closed my eyes and his soft lips touched mine. He cupped his hand on my cheek and I didn't know how to react. I liked him but I loved Justin and as soon as our lips touched I felt guilty. I pulled away and he picked up my chin.
"I know you still love him. But how can I see you happy if he's not here with you." I smuggled in his chest. He brought his arm around my waist.
"I'm sorry I kissed you. I really didn't mean to. I just... wanted too." "It's ok." I felt my eyelids getting heavier and I dazed off.
I woke up to a buzz next to my legs. I heard Derek's heartbeat and lifted my head. He looked adorable sleeping. His lips were parted and I remembered last night. He kissed me and I completely rejected him but he understood and stayed next to me. His phone started buzzing again and I shook him softly. He opened his eyes and blinked a couple times from the bright sunlight. He looked at me and smiled. I nervously smiled at him feeling guilty for rejecting him.
"Your phone is buzzing." It started buzzing again and he took it out his pocket. He sat up and I looked over his shoulder. There was like seven missed calls from his parents. He turned to face me.
"I have to go. My parents are probably worried." He frowned and still looked tired.
"Why? I want you to stay but I don't want your parents to worry." "I want to stay with you. Trust me. but they can get very irritating and overprotective about me." " Well you are their only child." He smiled. " Bye I have to go. Talk to you later?" I nodded my head and gave him a hug. He hugged me tightly. He got off my bed and left closing the door. I stood up and headed to the shower.
After a fifteen minute shower, I dried myself and changed. I checked my phone and it was 10:45 am. I walked downstairs to the kitchen and grabbed cereal. I took out the milk and poured it into the bowl filled with cereal. I turned on the tv and began eating.
"New artist, Justin Bieber, has released a new song titled, one life."
My stomach turned when I heard Justin's name on television. I felt sick and dropped my spoon. Justin finally got his dream to come true and he couldn't even call me. It was clear that he didn't care about me anymore so why should I care about him. I turned off the television and dialed his number. I don't know why I even dialed. My fingers just took over and controled. I hung up quickly. Minutes later my phone was ringing and it was Justin. I answered it.
"Hi" he said like it was going to make me feel better.
"I saw you on tv Justin" "Yea..I umm haven't had time to call and you know..." "No I don't know Justin. You could've atleast texted me or try to call me to tell me about this but why does it matter. We're strangers." I didn't wanted to talk to him like that but by the time I realized it it was already out my mouth.
"I'm sorry Caroline. I just want t-" The doorbell rang. I went to go answer it. I opened the door and saw Jason standing there.
"Jason?" "What?" I heard Justin's voice and hung up on him.
