Chapter Thirty One

Lexie's P.O.V.

I walked home as fast as I could away from that. I didn't care what Justin or Christina thought I just had to get out of there. Now I was heading in my house to lock myself in my room, away from everything.

Justin didn't mention Chris was a girl, a pretty one at that. I saw the way she looked at him, there was no doubt in my mind she was after him. What girl wouldn't? He was everything a girl could want.

He was extremely handsome, super sweet, had a great sense of humor. There wasn't anything not to like about him. Just the sheer thought of him choosing me out of all the girls he could have was bizarre. A broken girl with a screwed up family.

I had no clue where my life was headed. I didn't know what I wanted to do. I had no idea what I wanted from life, what I wanted to accomplish. Him, he had everything figured out. He knew what he wanted.

Sighing I plopped down on my bed willing myself not to cry. It wasn't his fault what Christina was doing to him. She was completely taking advantage of him. He didn't even have a personal trainer for goodness sakes! The one thing that is essential to his career.

Yeah this girl may have been good to begin with but she was pulling the wool over his eyes. There's no way there was no money to get him a personal trainer. What the heck was she spending it on?

"Love it's me, open the door please?" Justin knocked on my door, figured he'd be here soon.

"Go away" I snapped at him hoping it would work. I didn't want to say something to him I'd regret.

"Lexie I am not letting this go, I will bust this door down to get to you"

"Then do it!"

"Honey please" he begged as I heard a thump. I figured he was resting his head on the door waiting for me. I sighed knowing he wouldn't go home until we got this taken care of so I opened the door seeing his concerned expression. "Okay I can explain"

He passed into my room as I crossed my arms, he better explain. "I didn't want to tell you Christina was a girl because I didn't want you to worry. I didn't want you to get some crazy idea that we were interested in each other or were together before. She's just good at what she does baby. She's gotten me into fights that were extremely hard to be in and she's made me a ton of money. I know she comes off as rude but that's part of her job"

"I don't care you should have told me"

Justin pulled me up against him resting his forehead on mine. "Lexie, my love, I'm sorry. Please don't leave me because of this. I need you, honey you are everything I've ever wanted. You can't do this to me"

I pulled away from his grip, I can't believe he just said that. "You think I'm that shallow, that I would leave you because your manager is a woman?"

As soon as the words left my mouth he immediately knew what he said wrong. "No love that's not what I meant" he panicked shaking his head.

"You know what? If you think I'd do that just because she's a girl then maybe I should break up with you"

"Lexie, you don't mean that. I understand you are just angry right now"

"Get out" I mustered up the courage to keep the tears from falling out.

"Please don't do this love"

"Get out" pushing past him I opened my door making a path for him to walk out but he stood dead in his place.

If he seriously thought I was going to leave him because of something as stupid as that he must not think of us as something that could get through anything. I was now angry at him for even thinking that, what kind of girl did he think I was?
