Mr. Mercurial (Justin Bieber Fanfiction)

Chapter 28

I can't sleep. No matter what I do, I just can't! It's as if my brain refuses to shut down. So many thoughts, like a fast train, flood my brain. It's suffocating. I'm exhausted, I really am. I'm tired of everything, every single thing. Images of my childhood flash through my head. Me running with Lea, Swinging with her. I sigh. What was it that the guy was saying? Rodge! DAMN IT! They know about him. No one knows about him. I can't involve him in this now... But how come they know about him, I have been very discreet about him. What if... what if someone has been keeping a watch on me the entire time? I can't meet anyone if that's the situation. SHIT! My phone. I have to buy a new one. That guy wants my call list. So the ENTIRE time, they knew about my plans through my phone? But how? FUCK! I rub my head in frustration. What am I supposed to do? I have no idea. You know when you just can't. It's as if you've got a block in your head that just won't let it work. That's exactly my condition. No matter how hard you try to grind your head, it's useless. I don't even know who to trust! And I'm certain that Lea is keeping a close watch on everything I do- who I talk to, what I talk about and even what I want to talk about! So even if I do trust someone and want to talk, it's impossible at the moment. Jeez... I close my eyes and try to empty my mind of all thoughts but because of some unknown reason my mind recalls what the guy was saying and suddenly, out of nowhere, it hits me like a fast train- he was the one who called me that night! FUCK! How could I be so obtuse? The same deep voice.... I sit up on my bed. What am I going to do?

I run my fingers through my hair in an attempt to calm down. When did my life become so fucked-up? I again lay on my bed. Okay.. You can get through this Shriya. You never give up! And even if you want to.... You just can't! Lea.. what does she want from me? Obviously if she can get this low, she must want something that's worth all this- even worth betraying your family. But what? I ransack my brain. No use. 'You need to sleep' my subconscious remarks, eating chocolate. Sleep? That's what I've been trying to do for the past hour. Though my body is exhausted, my brain is wide awake. For the first time I'm so clueless in my life. I suddenly feel very emotional. No. I've never cried due to problems and would continue to do that even now. I close my eyes in an attempt to control my emotions but fall into darkness.

When I wake up, it's past noon. SHIT! I'm late. I sit up straight on my bed. MOh No! I'm screwed up big time! I have a staff meeting in fifteen minutes. I hurriedly rush inside the washroom and in five minutes I'm ready to go. I head downstairs and see Mum, Dad and Lea sitting on the couch, deep in conversation. There's no sign of the Bieber's. Wait... I'm a Bieber too now. 'Now that's insanity! You don't bloody remember your own name?' my subconscious hisses at me. Well.. I'm gonna blame it at Lea for not letting me sleep! I head down and to the entrance. "Where are you going?" I immediately stop and turn around. It's Mum and she's in 'the interrogation' mood. "Good afternoon to you too Mum. Such a pleasant day isn't it?" I ask Mum in my 'all sarcastic' mood. "Mind that tone of yours and answer my question" Mum replies, glaring at me. "Well I'm going to the park with Justin in my office wear" I say, innocently, my voice holding the 'don't piss me off' note. "Have your breakfast and go Sweetheart" Dad says, walking towards us. "No Dad. I'm really late. I'll eat something in the office." I reply, looking at him. "Alright but don't forget." My Dad says with a warning. "Okay Dad" I say, kissing his cheek and with that head outside the mansion.

"I need you to check the invoices Seth." I say, going through the orders. "Yes ma'am." "Also check the receipts of all the orders of this month." "Yes ma'am. Anything else?" "Call Andrea" "Yes ma'am" and with that he leaves my cabin. Currently, I'm at my headquarters at the staff meeting after my less than impressive entry. I was late by 15 minutes and directly dashed through the door of the cabin, bruising my forehead in the process. That was truly embarrassing. "Ma'am?" Andrea arrives. "Andrea, I want tight security around the headquarters and warehouses 1 and 2. Got it?" I ask, my voice monotonous. "Yes ma'am. May I ask why?" "Just as a precaution." I answer discreetly. "Very well. Anything else ma'am?" "Yes. Postpone all of my appointments to tomorrow" "Yes ma'am." She leaves. Okay... Now wait and watch. Whoever you are,knowing my every step, I'll find you out.

And that's a wrap! Wow! I hadn't updated since a month. Sorry guys! I was really busy. You know- studies, exams and what not. Hope you enjoyed the chapter though I think it's quite lame. I might update at night perhaps. Who knows? :D MUCH LOVE! <3
