Ego (Justin Bieber Love Story)

Chapter Twenty-One

I wiped the tear from my face and before he got a chance to say anything the ambulance came to a stop and he was wheeled into the hospital, I crutched my way behind him.

‘Ma’am are you related to Justin?’ the paramedic asked as he stopped at the desk. Justin looked around at me.

I looked over at him, ‘ No, no, we just duet together, nothing more’ I said still looking at Justin, without any emotion or regret in my face. I’d never seen him look so hurt as they wheeled him away.

I took a seat in reception. I had a right to be mad. Who does he think he is? Dylan did nothing wrong, nothing. He certainly didn’t deserve that. Sure I’d only known the guy for a couple hours, it wasn’t about me taking his side. It was about Justin. What did it have to do with him? We’re just friends, he established that clearly back at his place. Who was he to judge the guys I liked. Maybe I was wrong, maybe he was the egotistical jerk I thought he was. I mean he flirted with all those girls, and did I go judging them or deciding whether he could take it further with them? No. Because I’m not so possessive, he has no right to make my choices for me he’s not my dad! And I’m a big girl I’m old enough to make my own decisions. He thinks he can get any girl. Well he’s not getting this girl back, not a chance. I was so embarrassed. And hurt. I couldn’t even think about him, let alone talk to him.

Tears were rolling down my cheeks. I took my phone out and dialled Demi, she should still be in town. It rung once and then she picked up.

‘Sup hoe’ she laughed down the phone.

‘Demi’ I cried.

She didn’t even let me say hello, ‘Molly, where are you?’ she asked, I could hear her grab her car keys.

‘the hospital, it’s not me, Justin got in a fight and -’ she cut me off again.

‘I’ll be there in 5, no speeding limit is stopping me’ she laughed

I looked down and tried to stop myself crying. A couple of minutes later I felt someone hug me. Demi. I looked up at her.

‘What happened?’ she smiled sympathetically.

I held back the sobbing to explain to her, ‘ well at Justin’s before all of this, he made it clear to me that we were only friends, and NOTHING more, so when we got to the meet and greet party, there was this really hot guy, like spitting image of Aaron Johnston’ she laughed softly, ‘and he started flirting with me and I flirted back, anyways I got his number and he got mines and as we were saying our goodbyes Justin started on him.’

Demi screwed her face up, ‘seriously?’

‘yeah, he was like questioning him, saying he just wanted to use me, all of which were lies and then he punched Dylan and kept on hitting him so Dylan fought back, just to get him off, we had to get his little sister, Justin’s biggest fan, to pull Dylan away. But it’s like who was he to decide, he can flirt with all those girls, but he has to ruin my chance with a guy? And then beat the shit out of him?’

‘Douche’ Demi laughed. I laughed too. The tears had stopped falling, she was an awesome friend.

‘I’m just so annoyed, and embarrassed and angry and hurt’ I said as she hugged me tighter.

‘What you need my friend, is a girly night in’ she smiled. ‘you are staying at mines until you decide whether you want to make up with Justin or whatever, and I’ve got a stash of hot chocolate, junk food, face masks and Charlie angels on DVD’ she smiled. I smiled back at her. ‘That sounds great.’

I stood up, ‘Lets get out of here’ I smiled.

‘don’t you ant to wait to see if he’s okay?’ she asked, I knew she was here for me but she was Justin’s friend too.
