Love Never Dies (a JB love story)

Chapter 45

*June 2017*

"MOM, I'm Home!", I yelled as I closed our front door and walked to the living room.

"It's finally summer", I sighed while falling onto my couch. I pulled out my phone and typed a quick message to Justin:

Hi Handsome! I just got back from school and they told me I've passed all my finals! I'm so happy it's summer. Now I have all the time in the world to annoy my boyfriend ;) Can't wait to see you :)

"Aaaaaand? Did you pass?", my mom came hastily walking into the room.

"Yes I did!", I smiled big.

"Congratulations sweetie, I'm so proud of you!", She said as she pulled me into a hug.

"Thanks mom", I chuckled.

"I can't believe you start senior year of college next september!", my mother said. She let go of me and sat down next to me.

"Me neither!", I gasped. This time next year I would be graduated and moving to the USA. Finally moving in with Justin, I was so excited.

"So what are your plans for the summer?", my mom asked.

"Let me guess... They all involve Justin?", she chuckled.

"Not all of them", I smiled, "but a lot off them. I'll probably visit him on tour a few times this summer."

"Only a few times?", my mom laughed.

"Okay, maybe more than a few times", I laughed.

My mother sighed and then winked: "When do you leave?". Throughout the years she had learned to live with the fact that I was travelling to Justin as soon I was on a school break.

"On monday. I want to have some familytime first"

"Oh I like the sound of that! I think we should go shopping for your trip to Justin. What do you think?"

"I think that would b-", I was cutt off by my phone. I looked at the screen and saw that Scooter was calling me. A tight knot crawled into my stomach. I swallowed, Scooter never called me just to catch up. He always called me when something was going on with Justin.

"Mom, it's Scooter, I really need to take this call", I brought out shakily.

"Ofcourse, I will make us some tea.", she said standing up, not aware of my anxiety to pick up the phone.

"No mom, please stay", I pleaded. She must have heard the worry in my voice because she sat back down next to me.

"Hello?", I answered my phone.Praying to God, Scooter did call just to catch up with me and not to tell me bad news.

"Hi Alice! How are you?"

"Hi Scooter, I'm fine. You?", I tried my best to have a decent conversation.

"I'm good too... Look, I don't want to worry you but-"

"Just tell me Scooter, what's going on?", I cutt him off. Telling me not to worry, made me worry more instead.
