I wake up sitting upright on a wooden bench, looking at the sunset reflection on the lake. I stay looking at it and think to myself the world isn't so disappointing at all. I get out of my thinking and say out loud

Gracie:where am I?

I look to my left, nothing but trees and more cabins. I look at my wrists their covered by a jacket that's really comfortable and smells hella good, but I don't think it's mine. I pull up the jacket sleeves and see that my wrists are covered with some weird looking white hospital cloth. I unwrap the cloth and find a lot of slits that look like long narrow scabs. Some were from a while ago and others that look like from hours ago. I felt disappointed to see them. I look to my right and find Justin gazing at the lake with messy hair, white t shirt, red saggy beach shorts, bare feet, with both arms resting on the bench, except one is behind me. I keep gazing at him looking at how peaceful and sweet he looks with the setting sun shining on him. I close my eyes again trying to sleep with that beautiful image I just saw. I move to get in a comfortable position when Justin says

Justin:hey you're awake?

I open my eyes and face him the sun still shining on both of us.

Gracie:yeah, its really comfortable sleeping out here

Justin:yeah it's really nice and calm

Gracie:yeah it is and this jacket is so comfortable

I snuggle with the jacket even more and close my eyes. Justin laughs which makes me open my eyes then says

Justin:glad you're enjoying my jacket

I look at him with a oh face. I still snuggle with the jacket though.

Gracie:I'm not giving it back, even though it's pretty weird still it's really comfortable

Justin:sure go ahead I got ten more at home.

Gracie:you do?

Justin:yeah I mean did you forget who I am?

Gracie:oh yeah, Justin Bieber, well aren't you modest?

We both laugh. I say

Gracie:it's pretty chilly out for a summer night.

Justin:you have my jacket on, how could you be cold?

Gracie:I'm not it's just it's cold for freaking summer. Plus I love this weather it's like fresh, but cold.

He laughs then with a confused and amused face says

Justin:so you cold?

Gracie:yes I'm cold

He opens his arms and says while raising his eyebrows

Justin:I'm pretty hot, I gotta lot of warmth

Gracie:nah I don't want hot, I want fresh.

Justin:hey I'm fresh, hot out of the oven

I laugh and snuggle with his jacket. He still has arms open. He gets me then says

Justin:come on just come over here

He pulls me in and I'm there in his arms. My head on his chest and his head on my head. My sleeves went up as Justin rubbed his hands on my arms and revealed my wrists. I move causing Justin to stop rubbing, I pull down on my sleeves. Justin notices but doesn't say anything. I like that, usually people would be like Oh my God we have to tell your parents and you need help, all sorts of crap like that, but Justin just didn't mention it which made me forget about all my problems. I remember something while I'm still in his arms. I look up at him
