My mates... a teacher?!

Chapter 8.

Someone knocks on my door, I looked over and saw Justin leaning on it, he smiles to me.

"Foods ready, come down soon okay?" I nodded, he chuckles and turns around, walking downstairs.

"Hey Justin, have I ever thanked you for everything you've done for me?" I said, racing after him, he stops, making me bump into him and turns around.

"No you haven't but you don't need too, why are you asking?" He laughs, I pouted and shrugged.

"I just thought it would have been rude if I didn't" I smiled, he chuckles and ruffles my hair.

"I only accepted to babysit you so I could spend more time with you and get to know you a little more and you don't have to thank me" He smiles, I blushed and giggled.

"Ah okay" He turns back around and continues walking down, I walked after him.

"May I ask, why the sudden change?" Justin turns back around, he gives me a confused face, I stopped.

"What do you mean?" I laughed, he looks away.

"Eh, nothing my imagination" He laughs and shrugs, I made a confused face and continued to walk.

We went to the living room and started eating away, I placed my plate in the sink and smiled.

"That was great, thanks" He makes a face at me and smiles.

"It's fine" He shrugs, I nodded, I turned around, Justin grabs my wrist.

"This isn't like you, did someone say something?" Justin frowns, I looked at him and bit my lip, oh shit.. I smiled.

"Uhh no no, I just thought I'd cut you some slack for a change" I smiled, Justin gives me a sad face and shakes his head.

"You're gonna hate me after I tell you this" I frowned and turned to face him.

"Listen I got a call before I came up" He grabs my hands and takes me to the couch, I looked at him concerned.

"I don't know how to tell you this but... Your mum was in a car crash... And she... She died..." I sat there shocked, he sighs and hugs me.

"When did she.."

"They said this morning, they had her on life support but she didn't make the night" I nodded and breathed, okay.

"What about my dad?"

"I'm sorry" I gripped him tightly, I've lost both my parents.

"Who's going to look after me?" I looked at him, he narrows his eyes.

"I can take you under my wing if you want, I can take care of you" He smiles softly, I smiled sadly and sighed, Justin sighs and pulls me to him.

"You poor girl, I'm sorry" I shook my head and laughed.

"Don't be sorry" I looked up at him and half smiled.

"Are you sure about looking after me?"

"Well yeah, I mean I can't say I know how you feel but I do in some way just different, I mean I have foster parents" He shrugs and scratches the back of his head.

"Oh.. Okay"

"But hey! They loved me and looked after me like their own so I'm happy with what I got" He laughs, I smiled and nodded.

"Listen, I know it's hard to believe what I've told you but I do promise to look after you, at least until your 18 then you can decide on what you wanna do from there" He smiles, I nodded, he ruffles my hair.
