Maybe We Can Love Again; UNDER EDITING

Chapter 8

~~Shelby's POV~

By the time we got home, it was around mid-night. Justin held open the front door for me, after unlocking it.

“Thank you” I said sweetly, as if it was our first date. Justin looked at me, smiling his gorgeous smile.

“Well, you are very welcome.” He said, in the flakiest British accent. I laughed at him as we walked in.

I sat down on the couch, tired and out of breath from laughing. Justin plopped down next to me, putting his head on my shoulder.

“Want to go to bed?” I asked him, and he snuggled his face into my neck, leaving small kisses.

“Mmm, yea. I'll go get the blankets.” He said, trying to hide his frustration. I knew he was getting tired of sleeping on the couch, and so was I. I walked into my room earlier and survived, thing I could spend a night there. Just as long as Justin is with me.

“Wait,” I said, grabbing his hands, causing him to stop and look back at me. I stood up, “Lets...lets sleep in my room.” I told him, taking a hold of both of his hands.

“Are you sure? We can sleep on the couch if your not ready baby.” He said, making sure I was 100% okay with it.

“Yea, I'm sure. I was in the room getting dressed and survived. I think I'm ready to spend a night there, but I just want you there with me.” I told him, wrapping my arms around his waist, pressing my body against his. I was just up to his forehead, so I had to look up a little, and he had to look down.

“Okay baby. You know I will always be there with you.” He whispered, leaning in, pressing his lips against mine. I kissed back the second our lips touched. Justin licked my bottom lip, asking for an entrance. I automatically granted him access. The sparks flew everywhere around us. But the sparks soon left once we both pulled apart.

“C'mon, lets go to bed.” I said, with the biggest smile on my face. Justin smiled back down at me before taking my head in his, and leading us to my room.

We were both laying in bed, Justin was sound asleep with his arm draped loosely around my waist, while I laid there wide awake. I was asleep but I got a text in the middle of the night. I thought it was strange that someone had texted me this late. It could have been Kierstin but she never texts, me when she knows I'm asleep. Usually once I'm awake, I can't go back to sleep. I'm debating on wither or not I want to open it or not...

But I grabbed my phone and saw the ID, Unknown. 'Dear God, please let it be some sort of sale text, trying to get me to buy some lame useless product. ' I prayed in my head as I swiped across the screen to open it. I thought my life was done for when I opened that text.

“Hey sweetheart. I hope your ready for some fun... ;)”

No. No. No. No. Please...No... I instantly shot out of bed, already feeling the tears run down my cheeks.

I can't go through this again, I can't risk Justin's life or Jame's. I can't do this. I was now bawling, as I stood in the middle of my dark room, the only light coming from the moonlight shinning through my white curtains. I heard Justin groan, I looked over at him to see him feeling the other side of the bed to feel for me. Once he felt no one there, he shot up looking panicked.

“Shelby??” He asked out, as he looked in my direction. I bawled harder, muttering a yes. “What's wrong baby?? What happened? Are you okay?” He asked, standing up and walking over to me, bringing my shaking body into his warm embrace.

“Justin..It's happening again.” I whispered into his chest. I could feel his muscles tighten, and his body stiffen, but he continued to hold me.
