Chapter Thirty Seven

Lexie's P.O.V.

My phone kept buzzing over and over again as I rolled over. Opening my eyes I looked over to see Justin still passed out by my side then up at the sky. Holy crap! We fell asleep last night in the back of his grandpas truck! We were supposed to be home at ten!

Grabbing my phone I saw twelve missed calls from my parents. I was dead, so dead once they found out. Then mom called again so this time I picked up, "Hello?"

"Lexie!" she screamed into the phone. "Where the hell are you?"

"I'm so sorry mom, Justin took me out last night and we fell asleep up here in the mountains"

"You better get your butt home now before your father gets back!"

"Okay, I love you" I hung up placing my phone back in the little clutch. Justin was still fast asleep keeping his grip on my leg. I shook him to wake him up, "Justin baby we have to go" he groaned pulling me even closer to him. If we didn't go now both of us would be dead.

"You need to wake up babe, come on" I started bouncing making the whole truck move to get him to open his eyes.

Eventually he took a deep breath slowly opening his eyes. "Good morning my love" he smiled then yawned as his tried to wake up. He looked up into the sky and his face filled up with surprise as he realized the same thing I did. "We fell asleep here"

"Yes we did and please baby we need to go my parents are going to kill me. Mom just called me and they are pissed, there's no way I'm getting out of this one. They will lock me in for sure, I really don't know what they are going to do so I'm just-"

"Whoa calm down, it's going to be fine"

"No it's not! It's never okay, not with them! It seems like I'm always screwing up, always breaking the rules! Now I'm-"

He quickly crashed his lips on to mine to stop me from yelling. I took a deep breath as he rolled me on his stomach. "My love, run away with me"

"I can't make that decision right now"

He nodded pressing his lips against mine before sitting up. "Well what do you want to do? Do you want me to take you home or let you stay at grandpas house?"

I sighed burying my face in his chest, "Take me home"

"Okay, let's go" he said lifting me up with him as we slid into the truck.

Starting up the engine he began the drive home, it maybe took fifteen minutes to get there. I wasn't sure what to expect, anger, disappointment, betrayal. I didn't know, right now I was worried about the guy sitting next to me that was being completely silent.

It was never good when Justin was quiet, he was either mad or upset and I hated either of those options. This was extremely dangerous and no one should try this but I unbuckled my seat belt to sit in the middle of the seat right next to him.

I looped my hands around his arm as I rested my head against his shoulder. If it wasn't for him doing the amazing things he's done for me I would never know what true love felt like. It didn't take much for him to smile when I snuggled my nose into his neck.

We pulled into the driveway when he turned the engine off. Dad wasn't here yet, thank goodness. I focused my attention back on Justin to see him already staring at me. I smiled bumping my nose with his, "Thanks for last night, I love you"

"I love you too, I'll call you later to see how everything goes okay?"

"Okay, I'll answer I promise" I said pressing my lips against his.
