< Chapter 38: With You >

*Thursday, 2:17pm*

Debbie's P.O.V

I sat in my room, taking pictures of Drake and I off the wall.

Since the big blow-up at the therapist office, I haven't heard from Drake. I haven't went back to the hotel room either, I decided to go back to the 'vacation house' is what I like to call it.

I stood there sobbing in the same place Drake told me he was going take care of me almost two years ago.

After everything we been through the only thing that could help us now is God.

I got up off the floor when I heard a knock at the door. "Come in,"

It wasn't God but it was someone else who has always been there for me.

"Hey, how you doing?" my Momma walked in with a grocery bag.

I sat on the couch and looked at the ceiling. "I was thinking about moving back to North Carolina,"

"Oh, you and that boy moving down here after the wedding?"

I chuckled. "More like me and Julianna,"

"Well, I went to the hotel since you told the wedding party to be there Thursday but you wasn't there,"

"Maybe you and Miss. Sandi were right, Drake and I aren't ready for this," my face started to get hot and I knew I would be crying any minute now.

She sighed. "Do not let anybody take your happiness away. Of course your not ready for this but being with someone is not about 'being ready', it's about growing together in your relationship. I am sorry for saying what I said,"

"I mean, it wasn't because of y'all, he had his own opinion about me," I pulled my legs up and rested my head on my knees. "He thinks I'm a bad mom!"

"Did he say that?

"No, but he implied it," I picked up a piece tissue out the box. "And you know, that like saying it,"

"Talk to him, face to face," she stood up. "I see you at the rehearsal dinner tonight,"

After she left, I cried and reflected on the situation for about an hour until there was another knock at the door.

"Come in," I didn't even bother getting up.

"Hey," Justin walked in wearing a gray hoddie.

I quickly wiped my face with sleeve of this black sweater I was wearing. I really didnt want Justin to see me like this since the last time I seen him was in Drake's bed. "What brings you here?"

"I'm Selena's plus one, and I still care about you," he sat on the couch beside me and rubbed my back.

"I am so sorry," I collapsed into his arms. "I shouldn't have dragged you into this. I thought being with you would make it better but all it did was fuck up our friendship."

He sat me up and looked in my eyes. "I forgive you, actually I forgave the day after that happen."

I playfully hit his arm. "And you have me walking around like I was the worse person in the world,"

"What? I couldn't let you get off that easy," Justin stood up. "Now, Selena told me to get you so we can do the rehearsal dinner,"

I took my hair out of it messy ponytail and let it fall pass my shoulders. "Who said you were invited?"

"I am always invited where there is free food. I'll see you there," he waved before walking out the house.

I was still uneasy about this whole situation with Drake but I'm going anyway. I slipped on a skintight black dress with red high heels and diamond jewelry. When I finished my makeup and headed out the door.
