I Was Made For You

"the bet"

Justin's POV

Tonight I leave for my away game. Emma has been slumping around all yesterday saying how much she is going to hate being here by herself and that she is going to end up talking to herself. She does that anyways but I won't ruin the moment for her.

"Babe we have class!" she yelled from the kitchen. I was putting my books into my backpack before walking out to see her in a pair of jeans and my hoodie.

"Well let's go then!" I said grabbing her hand and skipping out of the apartment.

"You look stupid skipping" Emma teased.

"Thank you. I take pride in my skipping" I said grinning. The past two days Emma and I have managed to stay mainly just with each other since the past week or so has been pretty tiresome with all the controversy with jealousy and shit like that. I'm just excited to go home back to our families and take a break from school and all the drama starting people. Apparently my family is going to Emma's house for Thanksgiving dinner which is definitely going to be fun.

"Justin this way" Emma said pulling me in the opposite direction of our class.

"But class is this way" I said pointing in the right direction.

"Justin" she said seriously and shifted her eyes to the right of me. I followed her gaze and saw Matt sitting and staring at Emma. She's learned to out up with it for a few weeks when it only seemed to be once or twice a week when we would see him, but lately it's been everyday now. It's really upsetting Emma and she is really distracted by it.

"Stay here" I said letting go of her hand.

"No Justin-" she said trying to grab my hand.

"It's okay. Just stay here" I said kissing her forehead. She sighed and nodded.

I walked towards Matt and he had an odd smirk on his face.

"Okay, what's up man. What is your obsession with sitting here and staring at her" I said walking right up to him. He laughed,

"I don't know what our talking about" he lied.

"Cut the shit dude. Seriously your starting to scare her and I don't like seeing her like this." I said. He shrugged,

"She's a pretty girl, I'm sure I'm not the only one that stares" he said looking at Emma and biting the inside of his lip. I looked at Emma and she crossed her arms, shifting her weight from one hip to the other in discomfort.

"Leave her alone. Your honestly freaking her out. Whatever you feel towards her needs to stop. And it needs to stop now." I said seriously. He looked at me and gave me the up down,

"What are you going to do about it Justin." he smirked.

"I highly advise you to leave her alone and find someone else to creep the fuck out. Find a new place to sit day in and day out and let Emma feel safe walking around her by herself. Okay?" I hissed.

"Whatever man. Just make sure you keep her close. You wouldn't want anyone sneaking up on her and stealing her from you now would you?" he said mischievously. I felt my fists ball up.

"Just stay away from her." I growled. He chuckled and shook his head before walking away.

I walked back over to Emma and she was still standing with her arms crossed,

"What did you say" she asked quietly. I wrapped my arm around her shoulder and pulled her into my side as we walked the normal way to class.

"I just told him to stay away from you" I said rubbing my hand up and down her arm. She nodded and rested her head on my shoulder.
