Stuck in the moment - Justin Bieber

-

"Sad because you lost to a girl?"

-

Everything was going perfectly fine. It was just like old times except he didn't remember me. I was actually getting comfortable around him and being nice. I let my walls down for a moment. I don't know what overcame me when I hugged him, but I'm thankful that the phone call pulled us away.

I didn't want that to happen ever again. I was so caught up in the fun that I had let my walls down and the hate for him disappear for a little while. I tossed and turned in the sheets that were suppose to be comfortable but right now, I was over thinking and they felt like I was sleeping on a bed of rocks.

I couldn't help but to toss and turn around in the dark room. I was drowning in my thoughts and there was no escape route. What happened between Justin and I was something I didn't ever want to happen again. I hate myself for letting my wall down and giving in.

I hate Justin Bieber and I always will.

*flashback hours earlier*

I bent down and made sure that the laces to my ice skates were secured tightly and when they were I looked up with a sly grain on my face. Justin stood beside me looking back at me with a matching expression. He was going to lose big time and I will be getting hot chocolate and sour patch kids.

We both looked at each other and nodded our heads indicating that we were both ready. I looked straight ahead at the stranger we had asked to count down. His hands slowly rised as I squinted my eyes in anticipation. I had to win.

The mans hands dropped down and I slid my feet smoothly against the ice. It was like a big blur to me. I hadn't skated in some years and right now I felt free, and I needed to win. The cold air blew through my hair as I passed the man. I skated way past the finsishing point and then came to a hault on the far end catching my breath.

Spinning my head around I saw that Justin was slowly skating up to me, a frown visible on his lips but I could tell he was holding back a smile.

"Sad because you lost to a girl?" I said folding my arms over my chest.

"Pssh no. I let you win." He said turning his head away to keep his smile away from me.

I pushed his shoulder and giggled at his stupidity. I forgot how foolish he can actually be sometimes but it's cute.

"So. shall we go get this hot chocolate and sour patch kids my lady?" He said putting on the worst british accent I have ever heard in my life. He stuck his arm out for me to latch onto, I hesitated at first remembering that I despice him but then I though, why not let the hate go just for a while? You need some fun.

Hooking my arm onto his, I looked into his eyes.

"We shall." I giggled.

Justin sat across from me with a smile on his face. We were waiting for the hot chocolate to be brought to our table. We had already got the sour patch kids, the berry kind before hand. We were talking about some weird stuff when the waitress brought us over our hot chocolate.

As the smell of hot chocolate wafted through my nose an idea arosed into my brain. Smiling to myself I asked Justin to pass over the packet of sour patch kids. He did so and when I opened them I took a handful and dropped them into my hot chocolate.
