Chapter song: Bad Day by Justin Bieber
(Justin's pov)
-7pm-
I woke up and felt like crap. My head was pounding with pain, and my throat hurts like hell. I needed this. Christie doesn't want to be with me now, and it hurts. I really fucked up. Well, it could be worse. She could get a divorce. She probably would've already if this whole Mafia situation wasn't happening. I sighed and rubbed my temples. Poor Christie. I hope she's not hurting herself. What I said was terrible enough to make her believe it. Suddenly, something broke the window. It was a guy about my age. The crazy thing about being me is that random strangers try to attack you out of now where. It's happened so many times that I can't even count. The guy was hitting my car with a steel pipe (it looked liked it) I swung the door open, hitting the guy. I quickly jumped out and tackled him. We threw numerous punches at each other before I realized he had a gun. We fought over it until a shot went off. I felt an indescribable amount of pain in my shoulder and hissed painfully. The guy had me on the cold concrete with a gun aimed at my head. I took the chance and kicked the gun out of his hands. We both raced to it, and I was able to grab it for a few seconds. I used those few seconds to shoot him. It turns out I shot him in the leg. That was enough to get the hell away from here. I'm not killing another person. I held my shoulder as I stumbled to my car. It's a really bad idea to drive with an injured shoulder. I can't guarantee that I won't wreck, so I'll just walk. I took my hoodie off, so I could wipe the gun and hide it in a garbage can. My hoodie was left on the ground. I don't need it now. All I need is a hospital. My eyesight blurred, and I ended up tripping over the curb of a sidewalk. The fall scraped up my knees, ripping my jeans in the process. I swear if I bleed another drop of blood, I'll probably pass out. Something started to stream past my face. More blood. Ugh, I'm less than a block away from the hospital, so I used the rest of my strength to force myself into the parking lot of the hospital. Once I saw someone's attention on me, I shut my eyes on the concrete. I didn't open them until I felt myself floating, and bright lights flickering. I wasn't floating. I was rolling on a hospital bed with people telling me inaudible things. The pain in my shoulder was increasing, and I groaned only to be stuck with a needle. I winced and passed out before I could feel anymore.
-1am-
(Christie's pov)
I was woken by an alerted knock on the door.
"Ugh, I'll get it, Chris"
Ryan lazily and tiredly walked to the door. I heard him talking with another male voice. I didn't care, so I closed my eyes and pulled Drew closer to me.
"Christie, c'mon, we need to go"
Someone touched my shoulder, making me flinch and open my eyes.
"What? Why?"
I sat up.
"Justin's in the hospital"
Once I heard that, I became wide awake. I may be mad at Justin, but that doesn't mean I don't love him.
"Why?"
I wrapped up Drew and followed them into Khalil's car. It was cold outside, so I curled up on the car seat.
"I'm not sure. I just got a call from the hospital"
Khalil answered while everyone entered the car. I was worried, scared for Justin. Is he ok? I bit my lip in nervousness. Once the car parked, I was the first one in the hospital.
"Is Justin here?"
I asked the front desk.
"Justin who?"
The desk lady asked.
"Bieber"
I answered and held Drew close, so he wouldn't wake up.
"Uhm, yes. Room 206"
She told me kindly.
"Thank you"
I searched for the room as the others walked in. They followed me as I walked down the hall, looking for the room number. Once I found it, I barged in to see Justin sleeping on a hospital bed with several wires attached to him. He was shirtless too. I quickly handed Drew to Brie and rushed to his side. Now that I got a closer look, I saw his shoulder bandaged up and bandages on the left side of his head.
"Justin"
I teared up and touched his bare, tattooed arm.
"Shit, you scared me"
His eyes flipped open to look at me, and he gasped a bit.
"Justin, omigod, what happened? Are you ok?"
I moved closer to him in tears.
"It's stupid. I'm fine, baby"
Justin breathed out, sounding guilty.
"What happened?"
I touched his face.
"Some guy attacked me"
He told me. I knew he didn't tell me the whole truth, because he doesn't want everyone knowing. I gave him a look that told him I knew.
"Do you guys mind leaving us alone for a second?"
Justin asked the others.
"No, take your time"
Za and the others walked out, shutting the door behind them.
"What happened?"
I asked for the third time already.
"Ok, so I was in the car, then this guy started hitting it. I obviously hit him back, and he shot my shoulder with a gun. I could've been worse if I didn't knock the gun out of his hands and shoot him in the leg. I let the hospital take care of the rest"
Justin briefly explained. He might not care, but this was all shocking to me.
"Are you ok?"
I asked him again.
"I should be asking you the same thing"
He smiled warmly, lowering his eyes to my wrists. I made sure they were covered. I remembered those words from the time that he showed up in my room. He had snuck in when I got home from school.
"What does that mean?"
I lowered my voice, knowing exactly what he meant.
"Are you ok? As in, are you going crazy on me?"
A cute yet sad grin formed on his lips.
"Yea, I'm ok"
That was a lie, a big lie.
"Then I'm ok too..."
He grabbed my hand.
"...Thanks for visiting me, bae"
But Justin sounded disappointed.
"Why wouldn't I? I love you"
I teared up again.
"Aw, baby, don't cry. I'm ok, you're ok, everything's fine"
He gently stroked my cheek.
"....I'm so sorry for the things I did and said to you, Christie. We were both hurt and said things that weren't true. Christie, I need you with me. I can't stay sane without you. Please forgive me. You don't know how much this hurts to know I hurt you, and I hate myself for saying and doing all those things to you"
His eyes watered, and it hurt to even listen to him. I need and love Justin, so I'll forgive him. It's my fault too, so...
"It's ok, Justin"
A tear slid down my cheek.
"Give me your hand, please"
He ordered sweetly. I knew he would hate the consequences of what he said to me, but I placed my hand in his anyway. He raised up my sleeves to reveal the cuts, burns, and scratches I made in the past few days.
"Fucking shit, baby"
He swallowed hard. I didn't look at him anymore. I felt bad for harming myself. I felt like there was no way to stop it. My feelings are hurt, and I can't help but try to dominate it.
"You have to stop doing this, Christie"
He sighed wearily.
"I'm sorry, Justin"
I mumbled guiltily, like a child who was being scolded by her parents.
"Let's get some sleep for now, babe. It'll be ok"
He caressed my cheek. I laid my head down on the bed the way he did when I was in the hospital. My eyelids were heavy, so I let them close.
(Justin's pov)
-5am-
I was woken by the door opening. I looked around to see nothing.
"Miss me?"
A familiar yet sinister voice was heard. Jason.
"Get the hell outa here"
I muttered through clenched teeth.
"I see you shot one of my men in the leg tonight"
He showed himself. I could smell the weed on him from here.
"I see that one of your men attacked me tonight"
I shot back with irritation. Jason chuckled evilly.
"You don't know the damage you've caused, Justin"
He continued to chuckle.
"Fuck you"
I glared coldly at him. At that moment, he harshly ripped off the wires and needles attached to me. I couldn't help but groan and hiss in pain.
"Justin. Omigod, Justin!"
Christie must've woken up. I could see Jason approaching her. Dammit! The pain was preventing me from trying to stop him.
"Stop! What are you do-"
Before she could finish, Jason roughly grasped her neck and slammed her against the wall.
"You better shut up, you little cunt"
Jason hissed in her face.
"...Watch me choke her to death, Justin. You're next, then it's your baby"
Jason smirked evilly. I was too helpless to move with the pain shocking me.
