yours. a love story

trying to forget

i started explaining to justin how it all started over some stupid date vanessa won for me. i explained how i had story, how ross was the first boy to accept that i have a daughter, how he went on tour and promised how he'd call everyday cause we were his 'everything and he loved us so much.', how he came back with a new girl and how he called my kid annoying. i was in tears. i was a huge mess. i didn't even think about how disgusting i might look at the moment. i felt justin's hand on my back.

"god laura, im so sorry. he was an asshole for doing that to you. you deserve so much." he said, as i turned my eyes to him, looking at him. he sighed and wiped my tears with his thumb. "wanna know something? probably he didn't mean it. maybe he's hurt someway and he's letting out all of that anger in you." he said, moving my hair out of my face. it made sense what he was saying.

"but still, he really messed up. calling story annoying when she's clearly the cutest little princess i've ever seen. listen, he doesn't deserve your tears laura. he really doesn't. and he doesn't know what he's missing." he said softly, making my heart melt. i stopped crying and i finally smiled, i felt relaxed.

"tell me about yourself, justin." i said weakly, as i ran a hand through my hair. i was honestly so curious to know more about him. he smiled and nodded.

"my whole name's justin drew bieber. im currently 26. birthday's on march 1. im a retired sargeant. and-" i had to cut him off. sargeant?! with only 26 years old, how is that possible.

"sargeant? retired sargeant?" i asked, smiling and staring at him in awe. "but you're so young, im so shocked right now." i said in genuine awe. he chucked a bit and nodded.

"here's the story, i first went to war when i was nineteen for two years, then came back alive. so my general named me a sargeant. then i went to war three more times, but decided to retire." he said softly, looking down at me. "my mom didn't wanted me to go back. and i didn't wanted to either. i felt bad leaving my mom worried and not having a life was hard." he said, leaving me in shock. he went to war like four times and still came out alive. he's just so, wow.

"you're so interesting, oh my god." i laughed and looked up at him, he chuckled and shook his head. "how can i call you?" i asked cause i just can't think of a nice nickname for Justin. he rubbed his chin then licked his lips.

"drew, juju, bieber, i don't know." he said laughing. i started laughing with him. i like juju so much. I giggled harder as i think why would people call him juju.

"okay juju." i said, still in giggles. he smiled down at me. he was so caring and i can't believe he just listened to me cry about ross and didn't complain once. he was amazing.

"i should get going, it's almost 3 in the morning. and you, lady, should get some sleep." he said, pointing at me. i smiled and nodded, standing up with the blanket surrounding my small body.

"do you want to stay? i don't want anything to happen to you. it's really late and so dark outside and i rea-" i was cut off by his laughter. i smiled and looked up at him.

"it's okay. i actually live really close anyways. i'll text you when i get home, okay?" he said, kissing my temple, making me smile.

"fine, be careful. please." i said gently. he nodded and walked away. i closed the front door and walked back to my room.

i laid down next to story and pulled her little body closer to mine, hugging her. she snuggled up in my chest. my phone vibrated, a text from justin letting me know he got home safe and sound. i reply and place my phone in my night stand. i looked at story and kiss her cheek.

"mommy will always protect you okay. always." i whispered softly, laying my head in the cold pillow. i looked at the ceiling for a few minutes which felt like hours. I kept thinking of ross. why would he treat me so bad? i just need to know why. in moments like this, i want to feel his soft lips against mine, and him telling me he loves me and only me.
