Lock My Heart [j.b.]

26 : Chapter 26

: Justin's Point Of View :

I gently kissed Dakota under the small flower above us after Bloom and Acacia had pushed us under it.She smiled and wrapped her arms around my neck.I missed moments like these where everyone is happy and me and my beautiful girl are together and safe.

I then heard a faint voice come from the living room and it sounded just like Simon Cowell.Dakota stepped into the room and than covered her face,bending her knees all the way and laughing.

I went over to her and brought her back up,seeing her turn red as we saw an X Factor clip on the screen.

"Oh cool,who's performing?" I asked

"I actually found this on the internet" Bloom said,grinning,"You're gonna be surprised"

I gave her a funny look until I saw the camera point to her.

"Alright,Dakota,whenever your ready" Simon said,finishing his intro.

There I saw,on the screen,a 15 year old Dakota wearing a red and grey varsity jacket,white tank top,jeans and black boots.She looked so young and small,not like she isn't still but she also looked innocent.

Dakota had probably introduced her performance with her story since Cheryl looks a little bit teary.The song to "Feeling Good" started playing.My eyes widened,that was a big song.

"No! I sound like a cat dying!" Dakota said,laughing as her hands fell on my shoulder and she continue to blush.

"Bird flying high" She sang,confidently,"You know how I feel"

She sang at a perfect pitch and the judges seem to like that.We watched as she sang,her every movement,her lips,the judges concentration and the crowd clapping along and cheering.

"It's a new dawn,it's a new day" She sang,smiling brightly,"It's a new life,For me"

I stared at the screen,wild eyed.I knew Dakota had a good voice,but I never heard her sing before.She's got so much energy and passion in her,Ok now I was feeling jealous.

"And I'm Feeling Good"

Her hand clasped the microphone tightly as she gave a nervous but nervous smile.

"No.Freaking.Way" Sam said,shaking his head,"Just no"

Bloom said,"I heard Carly Rose Sonenclair and Ronan Parke sing this live but wow..Mom,do you sing?Is that where Dakota got her talent from?"

"...You should really think of your dad who got the talent for singing" She answered

"Why do we have the bad voices?" Bloom answered,pouting

"I don't think I have a bad voice" Sam said,shrugging and belched out a song

- - - -

I went behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist,laying my head on her shoulder.

"Just because your talking in a low voice doesn't mean I can't hear you" I said,smirking while I played around with the pages in a book.

I finally noticed that for Dakota's Christmas present,Kylie chipped in by using the spare room upstairs that was meant for Sam's game room but he didn't really like the idea anyways.The whole thing was created in 2 days,non stop work,Kylie was determined.

When I walked in,twine lanterns strung up on the ceiling,beach lanterns and sea shells on her wooden dresser,a light dimness setting in the lighting,christmas lights strung around in her closet and on the edges of her ceiling and Kylie's pick of comforter.

"It reminds me of the beach" I said,smirking

"I like it" She said,legs criss crossed on the bed and writing into a book.

"Dakota Myers has a secret diary?" I fake gasped,sitting next to her

"No,I do not" She said,smirking,"Don't look"

"Why?"

"Because it's something important and I don't want you to read it yet" She said,still smirking but tensed up

"Dakota...What's wrong?" I asked,placing my hand on her knee

She sighed,closing up the journal and secured the strap before taking a moment to breathe,"Justin,I have Angina"

I paused for a moment,thinking it was a joke for a second,"Ok,Dakota,don't play with me"

She shook her head,a frown replacing her smirk,"It happened when I was taking the blood test...It started when we came back from South Beach"

"Dakota,if you would've told me or your mom-"

"They told my mom,the doctor said not to tell us yet until the right time" She spoke,"We didn't want to worrie you"

"I need to get you to a hospital,like right now" I said,standing up,my head getting light

"No,stop,it's alright" She said,standing up and bringing me back to her bed to sit down,"It's okay"

"It's not okay" I said,my mind overthinking of bad thoughts as I noticed my vision blurring up,"I'm not ready to lose you"

"Your not,I can make it through this,you'll see" She said,kissing my cheek,"I mean,it's not likely Angina will kill me"

"What if it does?" I said,my hands resting on my knees,"You can have a heart attack at any moment and I can't be there because I could be in the studio or away for a couple hours"

She didn't want me to speak anymore so she crushed her lips against mine and made me stop thinking about all the bad thoughts.

"If you do...die.." I choked out

"Don't say that" She spoke,"I'm already afraid as it is,but the doctor said if..I'll have a couple more months or so till my due date..."

I shook my head,sliding down to the ground with her following my lead,"What if you don't make it?What should I do than?"

"You need to accept that I'm gone" She said,tears blurring her eyes as she continue to choke out words,"You need to move on,yo-you'll waste your time t-thinking about me,you'll find someone b-better than me and you'll g-grow old with her and have h-her kids...I'm sorry,I can-can't do this"

She stood up and left the room as I saw her run down the hallway,Sam stopping from coming out of the bathroom as he turned to look at her and than over to me.

I closed my eyes and rested my forehead against my knees,tear drops falling from my eyes.

"What the heck just happened..." Sam said,walking towards me as I heard small footsteps,which I assumed was Bloom going down the stairs,and I felt a hand on my shoulder

"It's best if you a-ask Dakota" I said,standing up

"That's my sister out there crying with my other sister and your here crying too..Is she pregnant or?" He tried asking

I shook my head,"This can't be happening,Sam"
