Secret Star

Chapter Eleven

Rylee's POV

I wake up, at first I am not sure where I am but then I feel his strong arms around me and remember I'm in Justin's bed.

The memories of last night come back. Justin and I confessed our love for each other, I really do love him but I feel like everything is happening so fast. I look up at him, he is still sleeping and he looks so peaceful. I hate seeing him cry the way he did last night. I just want him to be happy and I would do anything to see his smile.

I look around his room, its HUGE. I think it may be bigger than my whole house. I realize we slept on a king size bed with a blue bedspread. I look to my right and I see a guitar, he makes music? That's awesome.

I feel Justin move and kiss me on the cheek. I move my lips to his and give him a quick peck.

"Nice morning hair." I say and we laugh.

"We'll doesn't Miss Rylee Star look beautiful when she wakes up." he pulls me into him, kissing my forehead.

Just then someone knocks on the door. "Justin, breakfast is ready." I hear the sweet voice say.

"Okay mom, we'll be right down." Justin replies to her.

I get up from the bed and realize I'm only wearing one of Justin's shirts. I giggle, "Uh, can I have some pants Mr. Bieber?" He laughs and throws me some gray sweats.

We start heading toward the kitchen and I begin to realize how big and gorgeous his house really is. "Your house is gorgeous, Justin."

"Thanks, my mom decorated it.. it was kind of her project after Beth died." he says with a weak smile.

We reach the kitchen and i hear the sweet voice again, "Hi, I'm Pattie Mallette. I'm Justin's mom." she says as she reaches out to shake my hand.

"Hi Ms. Mallette, I'm uh Rylee Star." I said a little nervously. Justin squeezed my hand, letting me know it was okay.

"Its nice to meet you Rylee." she gives me a small hug, "You can call me Pattie." I give her a smile and she smiles back.

"What did you make mom, I'm starving." I hear Justin say beside me.

"The usual, pancakes and eggs." she tells him.

"Sounds delicious." I say as we sit down at the table.

Breakfast really is delicious and I like Pattie, she is such a kind woman. I just hope that she likes me, I can't handle my boyfriends mom not liking me. Wait, can I call him my boyfriend? We never really made clear what we are. I finish breakfast trying not to think about it.

When breakfast is over I am stuffed. "Want some help cleaning up?" I ask Pattie.

"That'd be lovely sweetheart." she says with a smile.

Justin kisses my cheek and takes off for his room. Great, I hope this won't be too awkward. "Are you new here?" Pattie asks while we pick up the table.

"Um, yeah. My mom and I just moved here a few months ago."

"Good, Justin needs someone new in his life. Has he told you about Elizabeth?"

"Yeah, I'm sorry to hear about that.. it seems like she was a sweet girl."

"She was, but when she died Justin's whole life changed. He turned to music, which was good. He has a lot of talent, but he was always out late and bringing girls home." I flinch thinking about that, did they all meet her? She continues, "I never met any of them though, you're the first girl I've met since the accident. He must really love you." That makes me smile.

"He's really great." I say, meaning it.

"I'm glad he treats you well, you seem like a sweet girl Rylee."

"Thanks, Justin is lucky to have a mother as caring as you."

"Sometimes it seems like he thinks I hate him for what happened to Elizabeth. I don't blame him though. I try to be the best mom I can be." she says and I can hear the sadness in her voice.

"You're a good mother." I say as I give her a small hug, trying to comfort her.

"Thank you."

We clean the dishes in silence, both of us trying to clear the sad thoughts in our heads.

Bizzle's POV

I get up from the table kissing Rylee on the cheek, heading to my room. I know my mom needs some time with Rylee and I need to call Scooter. When Rylee went to sleep last night her words, 'Everything is going to be alright' were stuck in my head. I went to my music room and wrote a new song. I need to talk to Scooter so I can go to NYC to record and release it as my next single.

"Hey Justin, what's up?" Scooter says in his upbeat voice.

"I've got a new song, when can I come and record it?" I can't contain my excitement and I know Scooter can tell.

"Woah, this is new. What about on Friday?"

"I'm looking forward to it! Bye Scoot, tell the guys I say hi." I hang up the phone still very excited.

Rylee has become my muse, giving me the motivation to write more and pursue my dreams. I know I need to tell her about my business life, but part of me didn't want to drag her into this big secret. I trust her, but what if when I reveal myself she gets hurt too? My fans wouldn't like the idea of me having a girlfriend, that's for sure.

I decide to call Ryan. He picks up after the second ring, "Hey, what's up bro?"

"Wanna go to NYC with me on Friday? Rylee inspired me to write a new song and I really want you to be there when I record it."

"Yeah man, but I have a date with Kate, what do I tell her?" he sounds worried.

"You really like this girl. Uh, just tell her I need you to be with me this weekend."

"Alright man, it seems you've been hit with Cupid's arrow too?" he chuckles.

"Yeah, I have and I'm not afraid to admit it. Rylee is a really amazing girl. Speaking of which I don't wanna leave her alone with my mom for too long. Bye Ryan."

"Hahaha, bye Justin. Have fun."

I hang up the phone and head downstairs. I hear them giggling in the living room, oh no not the baby pictures. "MOM!" I shout, scaring the two of them. I didn't mean to sound harsh, I just hate looking at those pictures because I see little Beth and the memories come flooding back. I can't deal with that, its too painful.

"Come on Rylee, I'll take you home." I say with no emotion.

The ride to her house is quiet and there is a lot of tension in the air. I feel bad.

"I'm sorry about that." I manage to get out, "Those pictures are just not something I like to be reminded of."

She takes my hand in hers, "I understand, but Justin you really scared me. I don't like seeing you like that." she says and I can still hear the fear in her voice.

Once we reach her house I walk her to the door. "I love you." I say as I look into her stunning green eyes. They are one of the most beautiful things about her.

"I love you too."

I give her a gentle kiss on the lips and watch her slip inside her house. 'She really is the best thing to happen to me' I think as I get into my car and take off for home.
