Mr. Mercurial (Justin Bieber Fanfiction)

Chapter 27

"Wow... this is beautiful!" I whisper-exclaim observing the place Justin has brought me to. "Told you that you'd like it" he says, smirking, leaning against the railing. To make things more clear, I'm somewhere that looks like a corniche but so much better and beautiful and the best part of it all is that the sun setting makes it a sight to behold. "How'd you know I'd like it?" I ask, breathless. "I just know it" he says, grinning and like the lunatic I am, I broadly grin back at him. Oww... my mouth hurts grinning like that. "Come, I'll show you something else" he says, taking my hand, leading me away.

We climb up something that resembles a hill but much rockier. I can hear the sounds of the waves and can smell the salty tang in the air. "We're hear" he announces. We are at the top. I go forward and look down to see the waves crashing the bottom of the hill violently. It's beautiful. "Wow" I whisper. "Close your eyes" he whispers in my ears, wrapping his arms around my waist. "Why?" "Just do it" he replies impatiently. I roll my eyes but do as told. "Now concentrate on the surroundings. Feel the wind, the rush of the waves, the tang in the air" he whispers, sending goosebumps all over my body. I shiver from the intimacy of the gesture. This feels amazing. "My brain stopped working" I whisper. Justin starts laughing. Oh Lord! His laugh is so mesmerizing."Good. Now open your eyes and look into the horizon where the sun's setting. Now you can truly admire its beauty" he whispers. He's right. Now that I'm not thinking, I observe more. Justin unwraps his arms from my waist, walks forward and turns around so that his back is facing the edge of the hill. "This" he says, moving his hand around as a gesture "is my de-stressing place" "De-stressing place?" I ask amused. "Yup. When I'm stressed out and can't think, I come here and Boom! I feel better!" I laugh at his choice of words. 'Boom!' it seems! He grins. "I want to show you something else" "What is it now Mr. Bieber?" I ask "Look-" he turns around, his leg slips and he falls down. "JUSTIN!" I yell and suddenly I'm up.

I wake up and find myself in my room. My nightgown is sticking to my sweat-drenched back. I'm heaving as if I've run a hundred miles. It's okay Shriya... It's just a dream. My hands are gripping the sheets. Oh Lord! What was that all about? 'You are totally stressed out. Take a chill pill' my subconscious retorts. For a change your right. My throat is parched dry. I need water. I get up and change into some sweats. Sleep is not possible now. After such a horrendous dream, I can't imagine it. I head downstairs and into the kitchen. I grab a cool water bottle from the refrigerator and gulp down the contents. Ah.. the relief!

I hop onto the counter, still drinking. This is so messed up- my thoughts come to a halt when I see something move outside the window. What was that? I immediately get down and walk towards the window, all the while alert. I peak outside the window. It's so dark. The only illumination are the street lights which are dull. I squint my eyes in an effort to see properly. No use. I have to go out and see. I shut the window and run towards the entrance. I hope no one's awake. 'Do you know your the only one with a nocturnal schedule?' my subconscious mutters, tapping her foot. Talk about timing! I roll my eyes. I walk slowly so as to not make any noise, all the while being alert. As I head towards the entrance I notice it's eerily quiet. Good. Everyone's asleep. I open the entrance door slowly so that no creaking sound comes and step out. An involuntary shiver runs down my spine. It's cold. Too late! Can't get my sweater now. I walk slowly, looking around to see if someone's around. That figure was definitely someone's. Probably a girl's.

"Whose there?" a manly voice calls out. SHIT! I completely forgot about the security. I look around to find a place to hide. Yes! The bushes! I run towards the bushes and duck down behind them. "Hello?" the same manly voice calls out. I hear footsteps coming closer and duck more, squeezing my eyes shut. Oh Lord! Please let him not see me.. Please. "What is it Ryan?" another voice calls out. "I heard someone running over here" 'Ryan' replies. "Dude no one would be awake at such an unholy hour" the voice replies. "I- Your right. Lets go" 'Ryan' replies though I can sense his uncertainty. I hear footsteps walking away. Phew! Thank the heavens! I slowly get up, contemplating if someone's still around. No one. Good. I head for the backyard towards which the kitchen window faces.

I hear someone talking. I walk towards the voice. I see a silhouette of a male talking to some female. Wait... that female seems awfully familiar. She laughs at something the guy says. The laugh.. FUCK! LEA! What the fuck is she doing?! I walk closer and hide behind a wall. "Let's go. I think the bitch saw us" Lea mutters. "Has she done what I told her to?" the guy asks. "It seems so. I followed her. The informant told me that she had done so. She definitely is planning something" Lea says. "Well the key to ruining her is always being one step ahead of her which is already established" he says. "Nothing I don't know" Lea mutters. "Attitude" he says dangerously. "Sorry. What are we going to do next?" she asks. "Well for the time-being just keep a watch on her and on her pet Rodge. Give me the list of all her phone calls. I'll figure out the rest" he replies. "Okay then. I better get going" "Alright then" and with that the guy walks away. "Mrs. Bieber, your doom is closer than you think" she remarks, smirking.

SHIT! She's coming this way! I try to look as invisible as possible. She passes me without noticing. Phew! Thank God! What was that all about? Is Lea behind this? No.. No! That can't be! I refuse to believe! Its ridiculous! Why?.. Why would she do that? She's.. She's my little sister... I feel something warm and wet on my cheeks. SHIT! I can't be crying! I hurriedly wipe my tears. Why? Oh Lord! Not able to take anymore, my legs give out. I slide down the wall. "Why? Why? Why?" I repeatedly whisper, banging my head several times. My tears know no bounds. I try... I really try not to break down but there's only so much a human can bear. 'KEEP YOUR BLOODY SHIT TOGETHER BIEBER' my subconscious hisses at me. 'SCREW THIS CRAP! GET UP, WIPE YOUR TEARS AND CALM DOWN! TAKE A CHILL PILL AND BLOODY RELAX!' she yells, glaring at me. Oh lord! I think I'm going insane. My own sister.... My little- NO! I can't think about her like that! If she cared about me, even a tiniest bit, she never would have done this. I loved her, protected her, tried to give her everything in my power.. When she got hurt, I pulled her back onto her feet. When she was unhappy, so was I. When she was happy, so was I. When some arse broke her toys, with my pocket money, I bought her new ones- STOP BEING AN EMOTIONAL WRECK! Okay.. Just calm down.. She clearly doesn't give a damn. I wipe my tears hastily and take a much-needed deep breathe. What should I do? What should I fucking do?! DAMN IT! Okay. Right now I need a good sleep. I get up and head inside the mansion. No one's awake yet. As I climb the stairs, I think how fucked-up everything is. My own sister wants to bring me down. I head into my room and fall on my bed, devoid of any emotions..
