(Requested by @bluems1216 : could you do one of how they got back together? Or the proposal?)
It was almost noon and I was still in bed, under my favorite fuzzy white blanket. It was unusually cold in L.A today.
Scooter gave me the day off so I just decided to stay inside, as the sky was grey and a fine rain was falling. A wave of exhaustion hit me and I reached for my phone, trying to fight it off. It was already 4 p.m and I didn't want to mess my sleep schedule up.
I was avoiding checking my instagram lately, as Selena and I was one of the most commented topics these days. Well, I guess we weren't meant to be together and here I was.. well, lonely.
It's been a little while since I started feeling a bit off. I started to notice I didn't have many friends my age, my 'friends' usually or work for me, or are looking out for me. I didn't have anyone to go to parties with, watch a Netflix marathon or take a swim. Maybe I was lonely and that's why I was so fond to Selena.
Emerged in my thoughts, I didn't even noticed that I've been starring at a picture of Hailey and I for a while. She was my perfect friend afterwards. I missed her to death.
"Hey, Hails. It's been a while. Are you in L.A? Maybe we can get some dinner or something, I really wanna talk"
Once I noticed, I pressed the send button, regretting it immediately. I haven't talked to her in months and I wasn't expecting her to reply.
"Hey, Jay. How are you? Yeah, I'm down. I wanna talk as well"
I read it carefully, my heart pounding and my hands trembling. Maybe she was all that I've been looking for and was denying it, trying to fit with Selena.
All my tiredness flew out the window as I hooped out of bed and jumped in the shower.
Checking myself one more time in the mirror, I walked downstairs, grabbing my wallet and my Lamborghini keys. Five minutes later, I pulled into my favorite Italian restaurant.
My hands were sweaty and I was beyond energetic. Anxiety was rushing thru my body and a nauseating feeling invaded all my stomach, until I laid my eyes on her.
Weirdly, I got shy. Not really shy, but maybe embarrassed.
-You're not giving me a hug? -Hailey said, looking at me, but my eyes were currently fixed on the floor.
-I-I thought you were mad at me.. -I let a whisper out.
-Come here, boy! -she giggled, embracing me with her warm arms, making me feel like I haven't felt in so long.. safe, loved.. myself.
-I missed you so much- I cried- I'm sorry for what I've done.
-It's past, Jay- she said, placing a kiss on my cheek before we sat- I missed you. How have you been?
-I don't even know anymore- I signed, finally feeling that I could be completely honest- Selena messed me up, I guess.
-You know you can tell me everything.
-I truly gave her everything and was trying to finally be in the position that I wanted to be, but it wasn't mutual, it never was. I felt like a failure because she was never happy no matter what I've done.
-You're not a failure in anyways, Jay. She's just not worth it. You deserve someone who appreciate who you are and not what you do.
-Yeah- I whispered- Like you..
-What?
-I-I don't know- I instantly got nervous and took a deep breath, looking straight into her eyes- Before tour I was just so happy, and all this time that I was in such a bad place, I've kept wondering what was making me so happy..and it was you. You were always making me laugh and I don't know.. I'm sorry for saying that, I know it's not mutual but I just wanted to let you know how I really feel..
-It's mutual, Jay.
-What? But I thought after I've done..
-That time I was so frustrated that I was in love with you and you left for tour that I didn't get that you were just trying to protect me. But the feeling never left..
-I know, it's impossible to get over the Biebs! -I laughed.
-Oh shut up.
-But, let's be together then. We can work it out!
-I don't know, Jay- she frowned- I don't wanna get hurt again.
-I will be here this time. I won't let you go again.
-We can try, I guess.. -she smiled, as the waitress placed our pasta plates on the table.
-Do you wanna sleep over my place tonight?
-Baby steps, Justin! -she giggled.
-Why? -I said, my voice muffled by all the pasta falling out of my mouth- I'm sexy.
-Justin! -she laughed- You're disgusting! Chew that food, boy.
-Oh my god, I love you so much!- I said, my heart pounding full of happiness finally.
-I love you too, baby boy.
