Justin Bieber Imagines

The Meaningful Call Part 3

   Y/N'S POV

  Zora picked up Ella, and Ella reached for me as she said,"I want to stay with mommy."

  I glanced at Justin before I looked over at Ella as I told her,"You better go get something to eat with your Auntie Zora. I have to talk to Justin."

  Ella pouted, but Zora took her out of the room. I looked back at Justin, but I noticed that he was still standing. There were two chairs that he could have sat in, but he was choosing to stand instead.

  So, I said,"Justin, just sit down. You can sit down."

  "Y/N, I can't sit down. Not after what you just did. That hurts, Y/N. It hurts."

  I looked down as I said,"Justin, I'm sorry."

  "Are you sorry? Are you really sorry? You were going to get me to leave, so I wouldn't have to stay in here long enough to remember everything. Was I a waste of time to you back then, Y/N?"

  I reached to take Justin's hand, but he backed away as I said,"Okay. I was trying to get you to leave, but not because of what you may be thinking right now. I...I don't know how to say it out loud."

  Justin asked me,"Why don't you know how to say it?"

  I admitted to him,"Because I've never said it out loud, and I don't want you to misinterpret what I tell you."

  "Does she know that I'm her father?"

  "No."

  "I figured because when she called, she kept saying that her father was hurting you. You weren't going to tell me that either, were you?"

  I realized just how much of a mistake it was backing away from Justin six years ago, and I would have rewritten my mistake if I could have.

  I just said,"No, I wasn't. I didn't think that I'd have to tell you."

  "Why wouldn't you have to tell me, Y/N? I'm her father, not that man who puts his hands on you all the time."

  I sighed as I said,"Justin, I was sure that you would've been out of here at this point. I'm surprised that you're still standing here, but what would you have been able to do with me back then?"

  Justin yelled,"I could've done something! I could've taken care of you, both of you! If you had just given me a chance, I could've been your support!"

  I argued,"Justin, no, you wouldn't have. It was 2014. You had enough stuff going on, and I did, too! We were both trying to figure stuff out, and I was scared! I was 19 years old with a baby in my stomach, trying so hard not to break. And I just... I thought that it was best to just get away, and then that was when Michael came into the picture. I didn't mean for so much time to go by without me reaching out to you. Justin, I really didn't want to abandon you, but I thought that I had made the right choice."

  Justin had tears in his eyes as he said,"I understand your position at the time, Y/N, but you kept a daughter from me. My daughter. If you had talked to me, I would've listened. And yes, I had a lot of bad times then, but you were one of the few good people that I could count on. I just knew that I'd be able to talk to you, but you just disappeared. I would've done anything to make sure that you were okay, even if I had known about the baby. I would have kept in touch with you. I would have loved you, but I should go."

  "Justin, don't go."

  Zora walked back in, and Justin sniffed saying,"I have to go."

  Zora put Ella in my arms, but Ella leaned on me as I looked at Justin and said,"Jay, please stay."

  He said,"I can't. I'm sorry."

  Justin looked at Ella before he walked out of the room.

  Zora closed the door behind him before she said,"Did you mess this opportunity up?"

  I remained quiet, and I held Ella tighter.

  Zora rushed over to me as she said,"Hey, hey, don't. Don't do it."

  I broke down anyway as I said,"I'm an idiot, Zora. Now, Justin's gone, and I deserve it."

  ....

  After I was released from the hospital, I kept Zora from coming home with Ella and me. It took everything out of me to get her to not come along, but I wanted her away for a reason.
 
  I tucked Ella in, and she said,"Mommy, you're crying."

  "Because mommy made a stupid choice years ago, and now, daddy won't be around at all."

  Ella said,"But daddy hurt you."

  I shook my head before I admitted to her,"No, I hurt him at the worst time possible, and your daddy was the one you called."

  Ella hugged me as she said,"I'm here, mommy."

  "I know. You can't leave me."

  "Okay."
