Heartbreak Hotel • jb( EDITING)

January 25, 1999

I step up to the concrete ready to push myself in between the revolving doors, It was getting late as the sun went down. I've discussed with Bieber that we'd meet around six at the Hotel to make sure all papers that need to get to Mr.Black are sent..

I walk into the Hotel seeing all set-ups were up-to-date and most of the employees were doing as told to.

Soon we would be having our grand opening that would begin the process of having actual costumers coming in.

Father was going to be present during the grand opening, finally, I'd get to see him in so long.  The hotel was being decorated by the staff as the majority employees being female were decorating it neatly.

"I've signed these papers, I'm gonna go ahead and put them into the folders and head over to Black's office and drop them off. "  Bieber says as he walks past me. His fingers interlaced with his dark chocolate hair, moving it to the side where it lays slightly gelled. I didn't even realize he was already here today.

Those fingers.

I needed to stop. My cheeks coated with a bright shade of red.

I head to the front desk as I peek into the small office in the back to see Bieber shuffling papers.

I turn back around and smile at the lights hung around the front desk. It looked pretty. I walk around to see almost everyone done with their tasks as they chat.

I made sure to tell the people hired to be janitors where their supplies would be.

I walked to the elevators to see the tiny detailed decorations placed around them while the top of the lift read the numbers of floors counting down.

Some of the male staff worked together to clean the windows of the lobby. As many made their way to the elevators making sure the rooms had towels.

I made my way back to the front desk to see my phone light up with a text message.

(2) Text Messages from Father

          A fat smile plastered on my face. My eyes lit up. I was too excited to even think. What if he's here early? What if he came to surprise visit me? I couldn't keep the happy thoughts out of my head.

I needed some air. The cold January air hit my face as I exited the building. I hate the fact I still choose to wear dresses in this freezing cold with heels that make me want to die.

I never took off my coat since I came in which I'm glad. My excitement would've made me forget to put it back on.

Angelina, I won't be able to make it to the grand opening. I know its been long we haven't seen each other but daddys been busy with all this work. The grand opening is the same time as the art show Kelly wanted to go to. Sorry to cancel our plans baby but Kelly and I have been planning for weeks and we finally got that day off of work to go see the show.

Sorry I'll visit soon, be a good girl and keep up the good work with the Hotel.

A tear slipped down my cheek. The hot tear creating a calming feeling on my skin as my whole face was cold.

I tried to blink away the tears but they only kept reappearing on my cheeks. Sliding slowly to my chin as it drops and hits my phone.

I sucked in a breath. Silently crying was not my thing. But its what I did often. I bit my lower lip in such force I could taste the blood.

A metal like taste. He's never had time for me, not after mom left.

Kelly is father's girlfriend. She's been his girlfriend three months after the death of my mother.

He was so quick to move on. It almost hurt as badly as it did when mother's eyes shut in front of my open eyes.

He said he fell out of love. He said they weren't destined together as they thought.

He said the sparks only lasted a couple years.

He said it wasn't his fault who he chose to love.

He didn't love my mother as he thought he did. Don't get me wrong, father was there every step of the way until mother passed.

He stayed by her side. He just became distant with me during those days. We were all so close.

The day mother's eyes shut closed forever his heart closed. On me.

I reminded him too much of my mother. He couldn't bear it. He couldn't handle looking at me and thinking of her.

I felt the wind suddenly pick up as I jumped out my thoughts.

I started heading back in as I walked into the revolving doors and started to push.

Bieber went through the doors at the same time on the other side, pushing his glass door to the exit while I was pushing to get inside.

We made eye contact.

His lips looked as if they were going to turn into a smile but suddenly went flat. I turned my head so he couldn't have noticed that I've been crying.

One last tear slipped before I turned my head.

His jaw ticked. It clenched like he was angry as if he saw that one last tear falls down my cheek.

A hard stare was what I last saw before I headed inside.

Before I could make it down to the front desk, My wrist was tugged harshly as I was faced with an angry jackass.

My body collided with his. My heavy breathing hitched, as my chest was pressed against his.

I wondered if he could feel the uncontrollably beating of my heart.

"Who the fuck made your pretty face become stained with tears?" He said lowly as he stares into my eyes.

I tugged my wrist from his grip as he let it lose and backed up to have some space between us.

"I'm fine. Just leave it. " I say as I turn back around.

"I've been around enough females to know fine means the opposite." He says as he follows me to the front desk and in the back to the office.

"Now, I  asked a question. Who made you cry?" He said sternly.

"I'm not having this conversation with you."  I say as I set my coat down.

He walked to where I was standing.

Leaving a great distance in between us, I chose to ignore him as I turned around to look out the small window in this office that I haven't noticed before.

"My dad won't be making it to the grand opening of the, uh, Hotel. It's stupid." I shake my head as I let out a bitter laugh.

Bieber gave me his full attention as his eyes burn into the side of my face.

"He'll come around." He says as his jaw locks. He held a serious face then released it as he looked at me.

"Fuck that honestly." I say raising my voice.

"Fuck me honestly." Bieber mutters lowly.

"What'd you say?" I glare at him.

"You're hearing things, princess." He says as he shakes his head.
