Who Would've Thought

Chapter 3

"CINDY!!" I tried yelling out to her, but she disappeared inside the studio. I started to panic. All of the other girls were lined up against the fence. "Was that your little sister?!" One girl looked at me. I nodded in fear. "It's ok hopefully Justin finds her I'm sure he will" I closed my eyes for a second taking a deep breath. I tried convincing myself that Justin would grab her and come out to return her. Minutes were passing and there was no sign of Cindy or Justin, and there was not a single sound. The girls and I were all looking into the studio against the fence waiting anxiously for something to happen, but there was nothing. "It's ok Nat, Justin's got her..." I thought to myself. "Justin's got her..." After a few more minutes, we all saw the door starting to open. Instead of all screaming, the girls and I stood in silence as 2 big men walked out of the studio, I was assuming them to be Justin's bodyguards. I gulped. Cindy wasn't with them, and neither was Justin. The 2 men walked towards us. I bit my lip in fear. "Who owns a little girl here??" One of them folded their big muscly arms across their chest. All of the girls looked at me. I gulped as the bodyguard stood right in front of me against the other side of the fence towering over me. "I, I'm sorry sir she, she tends to wander and-"
"Hey, back off, don't get mad at her!" The bodyguard turned his head. I looked behind the guard, and I saw Justin walking towards us, sure enough holding Cindy's hand. "JUSTIN!!" The girls began to scream and carry on, but Justin put his finger over his mouth, shooshing them. I covered my mouth as Justin picked Cindy up. "Who owns this beautiful little girl?" I put my hand up as Justin smiled and walked over to me. "Justin I am so so sorry she always wanders off and I should've been watching her and I wasn't and I'm so so sorry" Justin smiled.
"Aww sweetheart that's alright." I watched as Justin stroked his hand through Cindy's hair. "I MET BIEBER!" Cindy smiled.
"I am so mad at you Cindy"
"Hey it's ok, she's not in trouble" Justin put Cindy down. "Come here right now" Cindy shook her head grabbing onto Justin's leg. All the other girls watched laughing. "Aww come on sweetheart you gotta go back to your big sister!" Cindy shook her head.
"NO!" Justin laughed as Cindy gripped onto Justin's leg even tighter. I felt so embarrassed and humiliated. I immediately walked away from the scene as everyone was laughing at me, even Justin was. I began to cry feeling absolutely humiliated, right in front of my idol.

I sat down on a curb letting a few tears escape my eyes. I looked back over to see Justin meeting and talking to his fans holding onto Cindy's hand from a distance. I took a deep breath and wiped my eyes to calm myself down continuing to watch Justin meet his fans with Cindy. I sighed. I can't believe my own 3 year old sister would do something like that. I continued to watch Justin meet fans and some fans beginning to leave. When all of them had gone, I watched Justin pick Cindy up walking back into the studio. "JUSTIN!" I yelled out to him. He stopped and looked down my way. I quickly got up, walking back towards the studio where Justin stood waiting with Cindy, his 2 massive bodyguards standing right behind him. "So I'm guessing this little girl belongs to you!" Justin smiled poking Cindy's nose as she laughed. "I am so so sorry..." Justin put Cindy down. "Hey, really it's fine... she's adorable!" I looked down at Cindy who hid behind him. Justin laughed. "I think she may want me to adopt her" I sighed. "Come on Cindy... you've met Justin now lets go home" I was still so humiliated, I didn't even want to show my face to Justin. "Hey, how about I give you and Cindy a lift home...?" I looked at Justin. "Wha... what...?"
"Yeah! Come on I'll give you guys a lift home if that'll be easier" I felt my heart beating a million miles a minute like it was about to jump out of my chest any second. "Oh my god are you serious...?"
"More serious than a heart attack" Justin laughed. Of course he would say something like that, even though it felt like I was about to have one. Justin looked down at Cindy. "You wanna come for a ride in Justin's car?" Cindy smiled and nodded. "Justin you don't have to..."
"No it's really fine. Come on I'll give yoj guys a lift." Justin picked Cindy up walking over to his car, I followed right behind him. "You gotta go back to your sister alright?" Cindy nodded as Justin handed her to me. I watched as the rest of Justin's crew got into a seperate car. "I like to drive to the studio on my own, y'know, just for some alone time..." Justin unlocked his car. "I barely ever get alone time y'know" I nodded as I walked with Cindy around to the other side hopping into the car. I sat Cindy up on my lap as I put my seatbelt on. As Justin hopped in, I remembered all of the reports on the news about he was struggling a little bit with the fame. "Hey Justin...?"
"Yeah what's up?" Justin started his car up. I looked down, then back up at him. "Are you ok...?" Justin stared at me with a blank look on his face, as if to signal that he didn't really know. "No I'm um, I'm fine" Justin positioned himself in his seat. "Justin are you really...?"
"Really I'm fine" Justin looked at me smiling. I nodded as Justin drove out of the studio. "Which way?"
"Oh um, turn left. It's just 10 blocks down"
"Sure" Justin drove off down towards the streets.

After 10 seconds of awkward silence, Justin finally talked. "So um... how come you asked if I was ok...?"
"No reason, I mean I just wanted to make sure..." I was holding a sleeping Cindy in my arms as Justin drove. "Oh well... thanks but I'm fine..." I stroked my hand through Cindy's hair. Now of course on the inside, I was an absolute emotional mess, but I kept my cool on the outside. I knew Justin just needed someone calm and collected around him, so that's how I stayed. "Thanks so much for giving us a lift Justin..."
"It's no problem" Justin smiled.
"Just pull into this street coming up, my house is 4 houses up on the right" Justin followed my directions, pulling his car up in front of my house.
He looked over me. "Here we are!"
"Thank you." I leaned over giving Justin a friendly kiss on his cheek. He smiled. "Not a problem." I gently shook Cindy awake. "Cindy do you wanna say goodbye to Justin...?" Cindy rubbed her eyes reaching her arms out to hug Justin. Justin took her into his arms giving her a big hug. "Bye sweetheart, it was really nice to meet you and your sister." Justin handed Cindy back as I got out of Justin's car.

"Thanks so much again for the lift"
"You're welcome it's no problem" Justin smiled. "Before you go... I never caught your name..."
"I'm Natalie, or just Nat for short"
"Was nice meeting you Nat..."
"It was great meeting you too Justin." Justin let out a loud yawn. "Hey you shouldn't drive tired..."
"No, no it's alright my hotel isn't too far away."
"Are you sure? I have a spare room and it's better to be safe than sorry" Justin stared at me before sighing. "I'll be alright, thanks though" I didn't want to force him to stay at mine for the night, it was his decision, but I was still very worried about how he'd travel back to his hotel being so tired. "You're always welcome to stay here." Justin yawned again rubbing one of his eyes. "I think you should stay at mine for the night..." Justin looked at me. "Nat, I'll be fine I promise" you sighed.
"Alright... it's totally up to you..."
"My hotel is only up the road I'm not that tired" Justin let out another yawn. I wanted to drag him out of his car and bring him inside. "Are you absolutely sure...?" Justin looked at me, then he looked out down the road in front of him. "Remember it's better to be safe than sorry..." Justin looked at me again. "Your parents wouldn't even mind...?"
"Nope, they'd understand... plus we really need the spare room to go to good use" Justin took another look out to the road having another yawn. "Come on, you've been working your butt off all day and night and you look so extremely tired, you shouldn't even be driving. Come crash at mine for the night yeah?" Justin sighed looking down nodding. "You can park your car in my driveway it'll be fine."
"What if Scooter or someone gets really mad at me?"
"You just explain that you were way too tired to drive" Justin nodded as he reversed, driving up into my driveway parking his car hopping out. As he locked his car, he walked over to me and Cindy, just staring at me. "What...?" Justin shook his head.
"Nothing"
"No tell me..." Justin looked down letting out a sigh before looking back up at me. "I've just never been cared about this much... I mean my crew would usually just be like oh nah you're fine to drive come back to the hotel whenever, but you offered me to stay at yours because you want me safe and... that, actually really means a lot so... thank you"

At the same time, you felt like screaming and jumping up and down but at the same time, you felt really bad for Justin and wanted to keep your cool in front of him, so you just smiled. "Come on I'll show you inside..."
