You Changed Me

Chapter Nineteen : "We Need To Talk"

It was a new day.

I was at school.

It was lunch time already.

I was eating lunch with Jessica.

We sat at a table by ourselves.

I drank my water then set it back down.

I couldn't help but think about Justin.

I hadn't talk to him since the argument.

He hadn't texted or called me.

It really sucked not hearing from him.

Usually he'd text me every second but now it's just nothing.

I sighed.

Jessica looked over at me.

"What's wrong with you?" She asked.

I looked over at her.

"Justin and I got in a fight" I replied.

She pouted.

"About what?" She asked.

I sighed as I thought about it again.

It was such a stupid fight.

I can't believe we actually had it.

"I was trying to get him to stop smoking, and he took it the wrong way. He thought I was trying to tell him that he wasn't good enough for me" I said.

She sighed.

"That does seem like something Justin would think" She said.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Well it's just that...I've heard from the club that he's had issues with his parents, and that his parents would always say he wasn't good enough" She replied.

Whoa.

I knew he didn't have the best parents.

But I didn't know it was that bad.

That his parents would say he wasn't good enough.

That's such a cruel thing to say.

Especially to your own child.

If my parents ever told me that I'd probably cry my head off.

"Really?" I asked.

She nodded her head.

"Didn't you know?" She asked.

I shook my head.

The last time I remember Justin and I talking about his parents was that day we were at the park.

And it didn't seem like he really wanted to talk about his parents.

He just dodged the subject.

No wonder he thinks he's so imperfect.

He probably grew up thinking that way.

I felt so bad.

I want to talk to him.

Like right now.

I could actually call him right now.

I took my phone out and dialed his number.

It rang and it rang.

But still no answer.

He probably doesn't want to talk to me.
