He left.

I guess I should've expected him to leave. He has his girlfriend at his house. I wonder what time he left. Did he even actually fall asleep? And if he did, how did he wake himself up?

Oh my God.. Shut up!

I sigh heavily as I sit up in bed. The bed Justin laid in last night. Right here, next to me.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He spent the night next to some pathetic little twit.

I look around the room. I don't know what to feel. I can't decide whether I'm disappointed he left, glad, or angry. I feel it all at once, but nothing at all at the same time. How is that possible?

I lay back down in an attempt to sleep again. That's the only time that I feel okay, and all I need is to feel okay.

I toss and turn for another hour until I hear my parents stirring about the house. I pray they have somewhere to go today, I just want to be alone.

That is, until I get a text from Justin.

*Got any plans today? (:*

~If laying in bed all day counts, then yes.~

*Shut up. Just be ready by 2*

~At least say please..~

*Pllllleeeeaaaaase... Now go get ready you have two hours, don't girls take a long time?*

~Not me, but I don't wanna text you anyways. Bye~

*(:*

I smile to myself as I begin to get out of bed. I take a shower and go to the living room with my hair wrapped in a fluffy towel when I'm done.

"Hey hun, any plans today?" My mom asks as I walk in.

She just loves the fact that I've started to go out a bit more.

"Yeah, I don't know where but Justin's taking me somewhere," I sit on the grey couch next to her.

"Oooh. He's a little cutie, don't you think?" She smiles at me raising her eyebrows up.

"He has a girlfriend," I inform her, rolling my eyes.

"Oh, you still can't deny that he's cute," She smirks, "But anyways go and get ready!"

"Yeah, okay," I go to my room.

I don't know where we're going but it's not like it matters what I wear. I slip on a thin, grey long sleeve and my black My Chemical Romance t-shirt over it with some ripped skinny jeans. I straighten my hair and once it's done I put on my old converse.

It's two o'clock when I'm ready so I grab my phone and wait outside.

Fifteen minutes pass until I decide to text Justin.

~We still up for today?~

It takes me at least five minutes to decide whether I send that message or not. I quickly pressed send before I had the chance to think more about it.

Ten minutes until he texts back.

*Yeah.. Can you come over?*

~sure~

So I stand and head towards his house. What's going on? Maybe I'm just being paranoid but it seemed like something was wrong.

I reach his house and knock on the door. I bite my lip as I wait. It feels like my stomach's eating itself alive.

"Hey, Danielle," Justin greets me quietly.

"Hey," I reply.

"Uh.. come inside."
