Valerie

"Val" I looked up to see Mom push open the door and come in.

"Yes?" 

"Honey, Ava is here to meet you" She said.

"Oh..." I trailed off.

"Send her up" I said and she nodded and went away.

I wonder what she's here for? Is she going to talk me into getting back with Justin?

"Hey" I heard her voice and looked up again to see her.

"Hey, come sit" I managed to give her a smile. She nodded and shut the door after her and sat down on the bed across me.

"How was the vacation?" I asked and she smiled and shrugged.

"It could've been better" She said.

"Look, before you think anything, I'm not here to ask you give Justin a chance at all, I completely understand you Valerie" She said and I nodded.

"I'm just here to talk to you about somethings so this whole thing doesn't leave you with a bad taste in your mouth about Justin" She said and I let her continue.

"What happened with Eve was a shock to all of us. We weren't able to believe that someone like Justin would be capable of doing that. But you know what Val? He doesn't run away from it. He never denies it, he has owned up to every mistake he made and that's why after Eve he hadn't been with any girl until you" She said and grabbed my hand.

"He is always scared that he'll hurt everyone like he hurt Eve. And trust me, I'm not lying when I say that I had never seen my brother as happy as he was with you, not even Eve. And he decided to tell you everything even when he knew you were already mad at him. He never wants to hurt you Val. But I'm not here for that, I'm just here to tell you that.....Justin isn't a bad guy, he would never hurt Eve, you or anyone like that intentionally" She said and I couldn't swallow the lump in my throat as the tears streamed down my face.

"I know he isn't Ava, no one has ever loved me like he has and this is more unbelievable to me than anyone else. I still cannot digest the fact that some one like Justin could do anything even close to physically hurting anyone. But I can't go back to that, it took me a long long time to get out of Christian and Justin....I love him so much, I will never get out of that" I said.

"I know I know Valerie" She said and wiped my tears.

"But that doesn't mean ya'll just have to cut each other off and be miserable like this?" She said and I sniffled.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean be friends! Ya'll don't have to be more than that, at least you'll have him around and he'll have you around" She said and I thought for a minute.

She's right. Cutting him off completely would be too difficult, almost impossible for me. Seeing him around would at least keep me going.

"I think that's a good idea" I said and her eyes lit up and she smiled.

"Really?!" She said and I smiled and nodded.

"It would be great to have him around, despite of what he has done, he's also the sweetest person I've met and understands me better than anyone" I said and she grinned and hugged me.

"That's great" She said and I chuckled and hugged her back.

"Hey  why don't you come with me then? I was anyways going over at J's, we're all having another movies night" She said.

"B-But I have to talk to him about this yet" I said.

"Oh come on, I'll do that" She said.

"Really?" I said and she nodded.

"Now go get dressed!" She said.

"Okay okay" I got up and went inside my closet and changed into a sweatshirt and leggings after which we drove to Justin's house.

I was kind of nervous to see him again but I couldn't wait either. Ava opened the door with her keys and dragged me in by my hand. The three boys were running around the living room and everyone stopped and looked at me once we were in.

"H-Hi" I said and chuckled awkwardly.

"She's really here?" Ryan asked Chaz.

"Yes dumbasses, this isn't a hologram" Ava said.

"VALERIE!" Ryan and and Chaz almost screamed as they ran to me and hugged me in the tightest way possible making me laugh.

"I missed ya'll too" I said and they let go of me a while later.

Justin was still looking at me with his mouth parted so I gave him a small smile.

"Oh yeah, you guys set up the movie, Justin come with me" Ava said and dragged Justin into the kitchen.

I sat down on the couch while Ryan and Chaz put on the movie.

A couple minutes later, Ava and Justin came out and Justin sat down beside me.

"Th-Thank you" He said and I furrowed my eyebrows.

"For what?" I asked.

"I don't know" He said and I laughed again.

"You're welcome anyways" I said and gave him a quick hug but he held it a little longer.

"I love this movie so much" I said after Forrest Gump ended.

"Me too" Justin said from beside me and I looked to my other side to find everyone else sleeping.

"Wow they always fall asleep" I said and he laughed.

After a long pause later, he spoke again.

"Thank you for agreeing to this Val, I was feeling horrible" He said.

"You don't have to keep thanking me, it's for the better" I said and heard him sigh.

"I wanted to tell you everything way before. But I knew I'd scare you away so I didn't. I'm sorry" He said.

"No Justin, you told me, you gathered the courage to do that after knowing everything I've been through, that's what matters" I said and he nodded.

"This won't be that bad right? I mean this friends thing?" He said and I chuckled.

"I guess not" I said and he smiled.

"Are you staying or should I drop you home?" He asked.

"I'm too comfortable to move" I said and he laughed.

"Me too" He said and we both fell asleep a couple minutes later under a comfortable silence.
