Me and Ash decided to stay at the apartment so we could both keep an eye on Justin. I said to my parents I was staying at Ash's house and she said she was staying at mine to hers.

Justin is sleeping on the bed. I'm really worried about him. What if all this doesn't work? What if he is too broken to fix?

I walk over to Ashley and I sit on the floor next to her, facing the bed where Justin is sleeping on. We are taking it in turns to sleep, so one of us is watching Justin the whole time.

"Do you like him??" Ashley asks me out of know where. I look at her and then at Justin.

"I think I do" I whisper quietly with a shrug not wanting to wake him. I don't know how I feel but I know I feel something.

"You know, he is actually nicer than I thought. I was just worried that you would get hurt Rachel" Ashley says, putting her arm around my shoulder.

"I'm worried that this isn't going to work. What if he's too broken? What if I can't make him happy? I wish there was an easy cure" I say, getting all worked up.

"Listen to me when I say this. Today I have seen a boy that really cares about you. I haven't seen two people connect to each other so quickly before like you two. maybe you are the cure to a better life" Ashley says. I turn and give her a small smile.

"Thank you for helping" I say to ash.

"Always" Ashley says bringing me into a hug.

"You get some sleep. I'll watch him" I say to Ashley

"You sure??" She says, I nod. She gets onto the couch and wraps herself in a blanket and closes her eyes.

The room is silent. My eyes on Justin. I see him sit up. He turns and sees me siting watching him. He stands up and comes and sits next to me exactly where Ashley just was.

" have you slept??" Justin asks, I shake my head no. He gives me a worried look.

"You need to get some sleep" Justin says, I nod in agreement but it's my turn to watch you I think to myself.

" I'm not that tired" I say looking at the ground.

"How you feeling?" I ask.

"Like shit" Justin says making us both laugh quietly as we see a sleeping Ashley on the sofa.

"You really have been doing well, you know that?" I say turning to look at him.

"I would probably be still on drugs if it wasn't for you" Justin says with a sad smile, looking into my eyes. Butterflies erupt in my tummy.

"What are you thinking about??" Justin asks fiddling with his hands.

" I'm scared" I whisper nervously.

"Why??" Justin asks concerned.

"I'm scared because I'm falling for you too quickly and I don't want to get hurt" I whisper a tear falls from my eye.

Justin wipes it away, putting his hand on my cheek. I bring my eyes up from the floor and I look at him.

"What are you thinking about??" I ask him looking at him as I can see he is deep in thought.

" that I don't want to mess this up. And that I really care about you" Justin says with a small smile looking at me teary eyed.

I reach over and I kiss his cheek. Making his smile grow even wider.

"I care about you too" I whisper into his shoulder as he brings me into a tight hug.

"These feelings I have for you are scaring me. I have never felt like this before. " Justin says

" I haven't either. Let's just take each day as it comes" I say and he nods.

" go to sleep okay" I say to Justin, he nods. He leans and puts his head onto my shoulder.

I reach for the blanket and I wrap it around us both and I lean my head on top of his. I can feel my eyes become really heavy as I fall into a deep sleep with Justin by my side.
