5SOS - BABYSAT BY IDIOTS

Chapter 28

After that, Ashton was about to walk out until he stopped and said, "Oh, yeah, I have some bad news, Nicole." I responded worriedly, "What? What is it?"

Ashton: Another guest is coming over today.

Nicole: Noooo!!!! Why?

Ashton: I'm sorry, Nicole. But I think you'll like this one.

Nicole: Is it finally a girl? And I mean, a nice one?

Ashton: Well, not exactly.

Nicole: Why do you keep on having to invite boys over to this house?

Ashton: I really don't know.

Nicole: (sighs) Whats his name and how old is he?

Ashton: His name is Justin and I'm not exactly sure of his age.

Nicole: Well is he a teenager?

Ashton: I think so. He might be 19 or 20.

Nicole: Whatever. Last name?

Ashton: Bieber and he's a famous singer. But hey, do you wanna come downstairs and actually spend some quality time with your favourite babysitters instead of staying in your room doing nothing?

Nicole: Yeah, sure.

Then I went downstairs and everybody was in the living room. We were all sitting on the couch talking and the TV wasn't even on.

Ashton: Oh, yeah. I hadn't told you guys yet, I only told Nicole. I have a friend named Justin coming over today.

Calum: Oh, no.

Luke: What is it, Calum?

Calum: Ash, are you talking about the Justin I know?

Ashton: Oh, Calum. He's a nice guy. Give him a break.

Calum: A nice guy? No, that's not the Justin I knew.

Ashton: What are you talking about?

Calum: He was arrested, Ash!

Nicole: He was?!

Ashton: Well, yeah, but he's different now.

Nicole: The kid you're inviting over has been arrested before, Ashton?!?! What was he arrested for?

Ashton: Drugs but its okay, Nicole.

Nicole: No, no, no, it is most definitely not okay!

Ashton: Guys, can't you just give him a break? Nicole, you haven't even met him yet.

Nicole: I know. And I'm not going to.

Ashton: What are you talking about?

Nicole: I am not going to be in this house when a crack addict is here.

Ashton: Nicole! This guy doesn't do drugs anymore and plus, he's been looking forward to meeting you, and especially you!

Nicole: Well, he's out of luck. (goes to door and puts shoes and jacket on)

Luke: Nicole, where are you going?

Nicole: To Jessica's. Call Jessica's home phone when he leaves.

Ashton: Nicole, I can't do that.

Nicole: Fine. I guess I'll be at Jessica's for a while then, won't I?

Luke: Nicole, you can't do that.

Nicole: Oh, yeah, watch me. (opens door and leaves)

That's right. I just left. And I'm not coming back until I get a notice when Justin leaves. You may think I'm making this into a too big of a deal but I don't. It was raining outside and all I was wearing was my pink Aeropostale sweater with no hood. I was walking with my head down all the way to Jessica's until I realized I was walking nowhere. I knew I was walking for too long! I'm lost. I was walking for about an hour. That was until I saw a white (awesome!) sports car pull up beside me. I got scared for a second because I thought this guy was going to open one of his doors and take me but instead, he just rolled up his window. Then I saw a very handsome man in the car who looked about 19 or 20. Wait a second... Is this... Justin?!? Oh, god! He started talking to me and said, "Well, hello there. You look a lot like a girl I've been desperate to see. What's your name, sweetie?" Desperate? Sweetie? Lets just see how sweet this guy can get when he's desperate. I would have showed him some sass but he was too gorgeous. I responded, "Uh, my name's Nicole." I had to take the chance to ask what his name was so I did and guess what? It was Justin. "You look really cold. Why aren't you at home?" He asked nicely. Nicely? I'm starting to wonder if I should've left in the first place. I answered him with, "Well I kind of just didn't want to be there." He looked worried and said, "Oh, that's not good. How about you get in and I'll ride you back home and it'll all be settled there, okay?" I nodded and said, "Okay." All of a sudden, I saw the back door open automatically and might I say, it was pretty cool. I got in and then the door closed by itself. Justin started driving and we had a little conversation in the car.

Justin: So how old are you?

Nicole: I'm 12.

Justin: Really? Wow.

Nicole: Yeah, I know. I'm short for my age.

Justin: (laughs) So, tell me, Nicole. Why didn't you want to be at home?

Nicole: Um, I, uh, I needed some fresh air.

Justin: In the rain?

Nicole: Uh, yes?

Justin: Oh, please, Nicole.

Nicole: What?

Justin: I think I'd know when a girl is lying.

Nicole: How?

Justin: Well I've come across many, many girls in my life and I have noticed many things about them. But lying is just plain lying. So do you mind telling me why you really didn't wanna be at home?

Nicole: (sighs) I had a fight with Ashton.

Justin: There we go. The truth. Now what were you fighting about?

Nicole: Uh, I didn't clean my room.

Justin: Nicole...

Nicole: Jeez, are you some kind of lie detector?

Justin: (laughs) No, Ashton just told me about how clean you are. Now come on, Nicole. The truth.

That was when I realized I was in big, BIG trouble. I can't tell Justin that I doubted him, yet I can't lie or he'll just catch me. What am I going to do? Ooh, I know! I'll twist the truth! You'll know what I mean when I do it. I said, "we were fighting over whether I could go to my friends house and how long I could be there for." I was scared that Justin wasn't going to believe me but that's weird because I was kind of telling the truth. Luckily, he did believe me.

Justin: I see. I've had fights with my parents over those things.

Nicole: You have?

Justin: Sure I have. Some fights were worse.

Nicole: They have?

Justin: Uh huh. Okay, we're here.

I then noticed Justin had parked in our driveway. I was worried about the reaction Ashton and the boys would give me when I came so I didn't get out of the car. "Are you coming?" Justin asked me. I didn't want to talk so I just shook my head. It was still raining outside. Justin then closed his door and came into the back seat with me. He sat down and started talking.

Justin: Is there something wrong, sweetie?

Nicole: ...What if Ashton is mad at me?

Justin: Well, depends.

Nicole: On what?

Justin: If Ashton was a real good friend, he wouldn't be mad. But if he wasn't, he'd probably ground you. Do you think Ashton is a good friend?

Nicole: Well, yeah.

Justin: Then Ashton would not have a single reason to get mad.

Nicole: I guess.

Justin: Good. Lets go in.

Then I opened the door and when we walked outside, Justin hugged me while we were running to the door to keep me warm. He knocked on the door and it was answered by Ashton. "Nicole! Justin! Come in, come in!" Both Justin and I walked in and we were both soaking wet. But guess what? Even though I was wet, Ashton decided to hug me anyways and it didn't seem like he had a single problem with it. When he pulled away, his shirt was wet and he looked up at Justin. "Thank you, Justin. How did you find her?" Ashton said to Justin. Justin responded, "She was walking on the sidewalk and I noticed who she was so I stopped and picked her up."
Ashton thanked Justin and Calum and Luke both came downstairs and hugged me too. Now all 5 of us were wet. But who cares? Ashton, Luke and Calum thanked Justin and it almost seemed like Calum had actually noticed Justin had changed. It looked like Calum liked Justin now. I mean, he did save me last minute from being lost outside and never finding my way home.
