One week. That's all we had left until the show case. Nerves were built up inside of me and I felt like there was no possible way to make them die out. Justin was coming over in a few minutes which I wasn't too pleased about. I was still feeling kind of iffy about the whole "talk with Bailey". It just wasn't sitting right with me for some reason but, I knew I had to get passed that if I wanted our performance to be perfect on the day of the showcase.

I'm laying across my bed practicing breathing exercises before Justin came over. Two minutes into my session, my door flings open. I sit up and roll my eyes in annoyance. "Ever heard of knocking?"

"Ever heard of one week?" Justin immediately plugs his phone up to my tv. "C'mon lets get this over with."

"You wouldn't like that anymore than I would." I mumble.

He doesn't respond. He just searches for the instrumental on his phone and soon the familiar sound comes blasting through my tv. On queue, as always, I begin to sing my part. I just want this to be over with already. I mean, at first I was excited about it (minus the part where I hated Justin) but now it was becoming annoying. One week was too far. I get to the end of my part and now Justin's singing. And that's all he's doing. It doesn't sound like he was giving it all like our previous sessions. I guess he was just as tired as I was. We finish the bridge and a final chorus when the song comes to an end.

"Do you think it's good enough?" he turns to me, his mouth twisted.

"Of course." I nod, looking in the opposite direction when our eyes meet.

"Good." He meets me at my bed and turns toward me. "How come you've been avoiding me?"

"I haven't." I answer quickly.

There's a long pause. "Yes you have, for the past few days. Did I do something wrong again?"

I shake my head and look down at my hands in my lap.

"Is it about the thing with Bailey still?"

I want to say yes, badly. But, I also don't want him to get mad that I was still stuck on that and leave me.

"I knew it." he mumbled shaking his head. So what, you don't trust me?"

"I never said that." I shot.

"But you're thinking it and that's just as bad."

"It's not like you haven't given me a reason to!"

"Why can't you just get passed it?"

I shake my head. "It's not that easy."

Justin places his finger under my chin and turns me toward him. "I would never do anything to hurt you. Ever."

He leans in and places his mouth against mine. My immediate reaction is to kiss him back. Shorty after, I pull away. "Let's uh, watch a movie or something."

"Sure."

I scoot back in my bed and turn on the tv. "What do you want to watch?"

"I don't care, anything."

"Fine." I say while browsing the movie channels. I finally settle with Kick Ass 2. Justin moves over to me and pulls me into his chest. The smell of his cologne floats pass my nose and it makes me smile. Even though he wasn't my favorite person right now, he was still important to me. I had to say, I missed him the past couple of days and I kind of hated myself for pushing him away like that. Just as I was adjusting to the closeness of our bodies and getting comfortable, his phone rings. I look over and see that the call is blocked adding suspicion to the situation. Justin's face lights up as he stands from my bed.

"Hello?" he answers. A deep muffled voice sounds from the other end of the phone. I look straight ahead at the tv as if I don't have a care in the world who he's talking to when honestly, I do. Maybe it's his dad. Maybe he hasn't spoken to him since he's been here. My thoughts get cut short when he starts talking again.

"Now?" Justin looks over at me and then turns his back. "I'm kind of with my girlf----wait, no no never mind. Of course I'm available. I'll be there shortly."

"Who's that?" I ask curiously when he hangs up.

"Nothing." He shakes his head. "I mean, no one. I have to go but I'll call you later." He's throwing his jacket on and before another question could slip through my lips, he was gone.

It's been almost four hours since Justin left my room and he hasn't called or texted me. I was beginning to worry. A lot. I don't know who he was on the phone with earlier but I hope it wasn't someone who would hurt him. I tried to pass time by flipping through different channels, listening to music, and painting my nails. I even went downstairs to grab a few snacks and waters. Just as I'm about to give up and go to sleep, my phone finally rings. I anxiously grab it and hit the accept button.

"So now you decide to call?" I say frustrated.

"I'm sorry babe." he chuckles. "I had an urgent meeting to be at."

"About?"

"It's private."

"Whatever." I sigh. I wasn't too please that Justin was keeping secrets from me. "When are you coming back?"

"You miss me?"

"Obviously." I say quietly.

"Well I miss you too but, I'm not coming home tonight. Half of tomorrow either."

"Why not? Where are you anyway?" I asked.

"You don't have to worry about that. As a matter of fact I have to get going." Justin says.

I squint my eyes, not that he can see me. "You do know we are performing in a couple of days right?"

He sighs. "Yeah, yeah I know but this is far more important. Besides, we're already prepared."

"Why are you being so secretive?" I shoot.

"I'm not. It's just... I can't talk about it. Look, I'll call you early tomorrow morning. I have to go, okay babe?"

I sit silent for about a minute before speaking again. "Call all you want but I wont be the one picking up." I hit the end button on my phone and toss it to the end of my bed. I close my eyes and fall back. Something fishy was going on with Justin and I was gonna make it my business to find out. Not only for my good but, for his too.
