"I'm just saying Holly, you should think about it"
"Your father and I met at York, you would love it"
For the whole drive back home from 'thanksgiving' dinner, my parents have been trying to convince me to consider transferring to a University in the UK. Even thinking about it makes me nauseous, cause I can't even imagine being away from LA. I mean, what would Charlotte do without me ? It'd be weird not seeing familiar faces, kind of like Charlie.. Wonder what's going on with him. I mean how long has it even been since we spoke? I should give him a call some time.
What would Justin do if I went to London?
The thought makes me scoff.
"Yeah I'll consider it. I've only just started my first semester at UCLA", I tell my parents.
The door bell rings and I suddenly remember inviting Justin over 3 hours ago to come pick up his laptop.
shit.
"I'll get that", my mom says making her way to the door.
"No", I say in a hurry,"I forgot to mention that Justin was coming over to fetch his laptop" I explain to her, afraid on what she'd have to say next
My mom frowns, "Then maybe I should get the door and give him a piece of my mind"
"Mom, no calm down, I'm gonna tell him to leave straight afterwards"
My phone buzzes and it's a text from Justin letting me know that he's at the door.
I quickly text him back "Okay"
My dad interjects, "Ceci let's give them some space, Holly doesn't need us eavesdropping on her and Justin, but if I dare hear him after a solid half an hour I'm coming down here to kick his ass"
I roll my eyes, "Oh my gosh you two are crazy"
My parents chuckle making their way upstairs, "Tell him vaffanculo !", my mum adds.
I love those two..
I turn to the kitchen counter to grab his laptop, then make my way to the front door. Justin is behind the door waiting and this could really only go two ways, really bad or okay. I have to keep this neutral mood going. He can't know how hurt I am.
I unlock the door and take in his appearance. This is the thing about Justin, he could make you so mad, but he can't make you hate him and that's just something he'll always have. He has this look in his eyes that when he looks at you, you feel all the anger that you have towards him dissolve and disappear slowly.
But it can't be that way. I need to be selfish with my feelings, for once.
He's wearing one of his many pairs of Yeezy Adidas sneakers, black skinny jeans , and a greeny camouflage sweater from the brand Off White. He looks wow..
I've been staring for too long. I make up for it by saying, "You look decent."
He looks at me for a while, just staring at my face with a blank expression before saying, "Uhh yeah..I.. I've been out.. I went out.. to The Nice Guy with a friend"
"A friend?"
He looks away and my suspicions are confirmed when he looks to the side and clenches his jaw. He was out with Selena.
