Be Alright (Jelena Fanfic) *Part 3*

Chapter 24: I Miss You

Justin's P.O.V.

Waking up, I sat up in bed. Yawning, I then looked around the hotel room. Quieter than usual. My mom and Scooter were probably across the street at the studio. Quickly, I got up out of bed and changed into some grey sweats and a white v-neck. Might as well be comfortable on my last day in LA.

Pulling a box of cereal out of the cabniet, I then poured it into a bowl. Sitting at the breakfast nook, I looked out the window. It seemed seemed like we were in the heart of the city. My eyes wandered everywhere from all the commotion. 

Digging my spoon into the cereal, I took a bite. The door opened and I turned around. Scooter was in the doorway with my mom following behind him.

"Good you're up. We have something to discuss before we head over to the studio," Scooter said with a smile. My mom came over to me and sat by me, while Scooter stood across from us. Something to discuss this could be good or bad; but judging by Scooter's face, it was good.

"Did you look at Itunes?," Scooter asked. Looking at him confused, I thought, 'I just woke up, why would I check Itunes?' Then my eyes widened. Oh yeah, I was on Itunes. Quickly, I pulled out my phone and checked Itunes. To be honest I haven't looked at Itunes since I heard the news. But I really should have.

Taking another bite of cereal, Itunes opened and I went to the Top Ten. Beginning to choke, I dropped my phone. My mom quickly began to hit me on the back, while Scooter looked at me with concern. Swllowing, I gasped for air. My mom had that look on her face that read: Are-you-okay? Nodding, I smiled. Did she know?

"Guys I'm number 5 on Itunes, and yesterday I was number 56," I said excitedly. Scooter smiled and my mom wrapped her arms around me. Her hug was filled with pride. Honestly, I felt like crying right now. It was crazy how I was 56 yesterday and 5 today. My mom let go of me and I looked back at  my phone.

Looking at the cover art, it was me with my guitar. Oh that's why Scooter made me do that photo shoot. For some reason, I thought it was for a magazine or something. Obviously, I was wrong.

"Okay from here all we can do is work up from here. You're going to have to promote on social media, and continue to write. This is great kid! So now we just need to pick another single," Scooter began then stopped when my mom was shaking her head. Great. 'Mom please just go along with what he is saying,' I thought.

"Scooter he has to go back to school. He can still do this as long as he can balance out his school work. So give him a week off. He'll go back to school and catch up. Then we'll come back here the next week, and pick up where we left off," my mom said. Rolling my eyes, I thought, 'She's such a mom.' Scooter looked at her annoyed. Obviously he didn't like the idea.

I knew how important school was, but to be honest I was on Scooter's side. Really, I already missed a week. Plus there were only a few months left. Well now that I thought about it, I should really go back to school. Plus it was just a week.

Also it wasn' like I wasn't going to stop writing the music during the time. Just I would have school and have to balance it all out. Maybe I should side with my mom on this.

"Well why don't you just home school him? It would solve all of our problems. That way you guys could just move out here to LA. Perfect! Let's do this! I'm sure I have a home school teacher on speed dial. If not he could just drop out," he suggested.

My mom;s jaw dropped. Obviously she hated the idea. Honestly, I had mixed feelings about quitting school. Sure if I quit, I would have this life. But what if this didn't work out? Might as well just finish high school. Plus if I quit, I would have done all this work for nothing.
