Justin's p.o.v

There's something about her. Something that just feels right. My heart feels heavy as I hold Gabs in my arms. After leaving and realizing I left my wallet at her place, I went back. When I got to the door, I heard this scream.
She got really bad nightmares and I think it's my fault.
She's not even mine and I'm hurting her. What have I done?

I rush over to her and just hold her. I completely forget that I should be meeting my best friend, Sammy but as in this moment, Gabs is more important.

She's still crying after 15 minutes but I don't mind. She needs to know that I'll be here for her whenever she needs me and not just because she's my fake fiance, because I actually care.

My phone rings and I see it's Sammy. Gabs look up to my face and I just smile, still holding her in my arms.

"Yes Samuel, what do you want?" I say to Sammy, sounding kind of irritated, which he should figure out since I never uses his full name.
"Dude, where are you? The meeting?" Sammy rushes his sentence.

"Sorry bro, my fiance needs me." Wow that sounded so strange but it just came out. Gabs look up to me with a sad smile.

"EXCUSE ME, WHO?" Sammy yells, making me deaf.
"Gabriella, my fiance." I say calmly. I know I'm pissing him off right now but I always try to find a joke.

"You're lying J. Where are you?" I see he's not going to believe me but before I could think what to do, Gabs take my phone and put it on loudspeaker.
"Hi Samuel, I'm Gabby and Justin is really with me and also really my fiance."

Silence.

"DUDE I'M GOING TO KILL YOU" he yells, "oh and hi there Gabby, it's nice to sort of meet you."

"Well dude, move the meeting, I'll call you later, bye." I end the call before Sammy could reply.

Gabby just cuddles closer to me and soon sleep overtakes us both.

I wake up to knocking on the door and I see Gabs is also not in my arms anymore. I hear voices and then I hear the door shut. Gabs comes in with a box and I can smell that it's pizza. Ooh yum.

"I got us pizza, is that alright?" She asks softly.
"It's perfect, thank you Gabs." I give her a big smile and stand up to get the box from her.

I look at Gabs and think. So accidentally I met this really cute girl, who's now my fake fiance and well I think the girl I'm actually falling in love with.
"Gabs?" I say her name.
"Mmmm?" She says without looking up.
"We have gotten really close this past week."
She looks up and my eyes meet hers, "yeah, we have and I'm really glad."
Silence, then she continues, "I don't really have friends here, well I had but not anymore."

I can feel she needs a hug. I stand up and I go stand in front of her, taking her hand I pull her from the couch. I give her a huge hug and then my phone starts ringing but I ignore it and start to dance with Gabs on the beat of my ringtone, Drag me down by One Direction.
She giggles and I smile. We continue dancing until the call stops.

"Let's go out tonight? Let's go dancing?" I look at her and she lights up.

"Yes! Let's go. We've got to practice for the wedding anyway, so why not?" As she says that, my heart drops to the floor. Next week this will all be over, she won't be like this anymore.
