As soon as my hand had hit the door, I became terrified. I began to turn back, to go to my own room, when I heard a shout. It was coming from the room within. "Come in." it said, so I hesitantly pushed open the door.
As I walked into the room I saw him. He was sat on the end of his bed and he was on his laptop answering questions from fans on twitter. I walked up to him and shut the laptop. It shocked him but he moved his fingers just in time. He looked up at me and I could see something in the way he looked at me. He didn’t look at me as though I might break, as everyone else does. Instead he looked at me as if I was one of the strongest people he had ever seen.
“What are you doing in here?” he asked me “It’s late.”
“I just got back. Jen, Bailee and I all went out for a few hours and then I spent the rest of the day on the beach alone. I was on my way back to my room when I decided that we needed to talk.” I explained.
“Yeah, I guess we do need to talk.” He said nervously.
I sat on the end of his bed so it would make it easier to talk to each other. However we still sat there in complete silence for a few minutes until I decided that I had had enough. “That’s it. Why won’t you talk to me? What did I ever do to you?” I asked him.
“You didn’t do anything Becca.” He said to me.
“Then why have you been ignoring me since my birthday?”
“Because Becca.”
“Because what Jared?” I screamed.
“Because I told you that I liked you. I kissed you Becca and then you left me alone on a balcony. You left me alone.”
“You’re angry I left you alone Jared! I have been left alone my whole life, but was I ever angry? No. I was never angry Jared because I didn’t have anyone to be angry at. The only reason you are angry is because I am here for you to be angry at.” I shouted at him.
“You think you’re the only one that has ever been left alone? I was in my first TV series when I was 8 years old. It is lonely Becca. I have no one. My sister doesn’t understand. My parents are both school teachers so it’s not they get anything I am feeling. I understand what it is to be alone. I was angry because I thought that, because you were here, that I wouldn’t have to be quite so alone anymore. But then you left me there.”
“Alone” I mumbled. “Jared, I don’t know what to say. I’m sorry.” Just in that moment a tear started to roll down my face. He reached up and brushes it off my face.
“Please don’t cry. I didn’t mean to make you cry.” Jared said to me worriedly.
Then I began to lean in to him. We kissed again. It was mutual this time. After the kiss he looked at me, he looked so confused but I couldn’t say anything to ease his worries because I was just as confused myself, if not more so. I leant into his chest he whispered into my ear. “Don’t worry Becca. We will figure it out.”
We watched a film on his laptop as we sat on this bed with his arm around me and I leant into him. From there my head was I could feel his heartbeat and it felt so much like a lullaby that I fell asleep. The last thing I remember before I fell asleep was him kissing my forehead. It was the first time anybody had cared enough to do that for me.
He was protecting me.
