CHAPTER 12 ON THE BUS I WAS SITTING NEXT TO JUSTIN ON THE COUCH WATCHING TV."I DONT THINK I CAN KEEP UP ON BEING ON  A DATE WITH 2 GUYS AT ONCE.ITS JUST TOO MUCH TO HANDLE FOR ME AND YOU KNOW IM NOT THAT KIND OF GIRL."I SAID AS WE BOTH STARTED TO LAUGH. JC WAS SITTING ACROSS FROM US ON THE OTHER COUCH."WELL SINCE I HAVENT GOTTEN MY CHANCE YET, HOW ABOUT TOMORROW NIGHT ILL TAKE YOU OUT FOR DINNER.JUST US TWO!" JC SAID WITH A BIG SMILE ON HIS FACE.:I WOULD LOVE TO." I SAID WITH A SMILE.THEN I GOT UP AND WENT TO FIND JOEY, AND AS I OPENED THE BACK DOOR TO GET TO THE FRONT OF THE BUS I GOT STRUCK BY A FLYING PILLOW. THEN I RAN TO MY BUNK TO GET MY PILLOW AS I PICKED IT UP CHRIS SNATCHED IT AND HIT ME WITH IT. THEN JOEY PICKED ME UP AND PUT ME OVER HIS SHOULDER. I WAS YELLING AND SCREAMING " PUT ME DOWN!!" THEN HE SAID "OK, YOU ASKED FOR IT." AND HE DROPPED ME ON THE FLOOR. I LANDED WITH A BIG THUD! I WALKED BACK TO WHERE JUSTIN AND JC WERE AND AS I WALKED BY THEM RUBBING MY BUTT. THENJUSTIN SAID " I GUESS IT WAS YOU WHO MADE THAT THUD." I JUST PUNCHED HIM IN THE ARM AND SAID " SHUT UP!" THEN JOEY AND CHRIS CAME WHERE WE WERE AND STARTED A MASSIVE PILLOW FIGHT. I KEPT GETTING KNOCKED DOWN. MAN THOSE GUYS DONT KNOW THEIR OWN STRENGTH. I THOUGHT TO MYSELF. THEN I JUST CLIMBED UP ON THE COUCH AND STOOD ON THE ARM PIECE. I KEPT THROWING MY PILLOWAT ALL OF THEM,BUT MOSTLY JOEY.THEN JOEY CORNERED ME ON THE COUCH AND STARTED TICKLING ME. I COULDNT GET HIM OFF OF ME. I STARTED TO KICK THE AIR. THEN SOMEHOW I STARTED TO SQUEEZE MY WAY OUT AND THE NEXT THING I KNEW I WAS ON THE FLOOR.THEN CHRIS THREW A PILLOW AT ME AND IT HIT ME DIRECTLY ON MY HEAD AND BOUCED OFF OF MY HEAD AND LANDED NEXT TO ME.I PICKED UP THE PILLOW TO THROW AT HIM AND AS I RAISED IT OVER MY HEAD A PICTURE FELL OUT OF THE PILLOWCASE.I PICKED UP THE PICTURE AND IT WAS A PICTURE OF ME AND MIKE. I THREW THE PILLOW, TOOK THE PICTURE AND STORMED OFF TO THE BACK OF THE BUS TO BE BY MYSELF.JUSTIN LOOKED AT CHRIS AND SAID "LOOK WHAT YOU DID,YOU TOOK IT TOO FAR AND NOW SHES UPSET." JUSTIN GOT UP AND FOLLOWED ME TO THE BACK.HE OPENED THE DOOR TO FIND ME CRAWLED UP ON THE EDGE OF THE COUCH WITH MY KNEES UP TO MY CHEST CRYING.I THREW THE PICTURE ON THE FLOOR. JUSTIN PICKED IT UP AND SAW IT WAS A PICTURE OF ME IN MIKES ARMS.AS HE WAS LOOKING AT THE PICTURE I PICKED UP MY HEAD,TOOK THE PICTURE OUT OF HIS HANDS AND RIPPED IT IN HALF THEN THREW IT TO THE FLOOR.I HUNG MY HEAD AS I KEPT ON CRYING.THEN I FELT JUSTINS ARMS COMING AROUND MY WAIST AND PULLING ME CLOSER TO HIM.I PUSHED HIM AWAYFROM ME.THEN I STARTED TO SHOUT " WHY DID HE DO THIS TO ME?" HE PROMISED ME HE WOULD NEVER DO ANYTHING SO HARSH TO ME...   hE PROMISED!!!" I SCREAMED THEN I STARTED TO CRY EVEN HARDER.JUSTIN GOT UP AND PULLED ME INTO HIS BODY IN A HUG AND I JUST DUG MY FACE INTO HIS CHEST.HE HELD ME IN HIS ARMS. AS I STARTED TO CALM DOWN. I PULLED AWAY FROM HIS ARMS AND SAT BACK DOWN. I HAD RED PUFFY EYES AND I LOOKED UP TO HIM AND SAID " SOMETIMES I THINK IT WAS MY FAULT I WASNT GOOD ENOUGH FOR HIM, OR I DIDNT TREAT HIM RIGHT." JUSTIN PUT HIS FINGER UP TO MY LIPS TO SILENCE ME.HE LOOKED ME RIGHT IN MY EYES AND AS HE WIPED MY TEARS AWAY SAID " YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL,SWEET,FUNNY,AMAZING,MOST FUN GIRL I KNOW.IF HE COULDNT SEE ALL THAT IN YOU THEN HE WAS JUST BLIND.I BELIEVE YOU COULD DO MUCH BETTER THEN HIM AND THAT HE DIDNT DESERVE SUCH A GREAT THING LIKE YOU."HE HELD MY FACE IN HIS HANDS AND WE GAZED INTO EACHOTHERS EYES.HE SAID " YOU ARRE VERY PRECIOUS TO ME AND IT MAKES ME REALLY MAD TO SEE SOMEONE HURT YOU LIKE THIS." I STARTED TO CRY AGAIN AND JUST PUT MY ARMS AROUND HIS NECKAND HE HELD ME CLOSE TO HIM."I AM VERY FORTUNATE THAT I HAVE SOMEONE LIKE YOU IN MY LIFE."I WHISPERED. WITH THAT HE GAVE ME A KISS ON MY FOREHEAD. I GUESS I FELL ASLEEP, BECAUSE THE NEXT THING I KNEW I WOKE UP TO FINDING MYSELF IN MY BUNK.I  GOT OUT AND LOOKED IN JUSTINS BUNK,BUT HE WASNT THERE.I CHECKED THE BUS AND NONE OF THE GUYS WERE AROUND.EVERYONE WAS GONE.I TOOK MY CELL PHONE OUT AND I WENT TO DIAL JUSTINS CELL NUMBER WHEN I SAW THAT I HAD A NEW VOICE MAIL. I LISTENED TO IT. IT WAS JUSTIN."YOU LOOKED LIKE AN ANGEL AND SO PEACFUL THAT I DIDNT HAVE THE HEART TO WAKE YOU UP.WE HAD TO GO TO A RADIO INTERVIEW.WE'LL BE BACK SOON.IN THE MEANWHILE ENJOY YOUR FEW MOMENTS OF SILENCE ON THE BUS AND JUST RELAX, BECAUSE AS SOON AS WE GET BACK ITS GONNA GET WILD AGAIN!BE THERE SOON,BABY!" I WENT TO THE BATHROOM. I WASHED MY FACE AND TEETH.I PULLED MY MEDIUM LENGTH BROWN HAIR TO A PONYTAIL.I PUT ON MY CARGOS AND BAGGY GRAY SHIRT.I TOOK OUT MY CELL AND CALLED JUSTIN. "HELLO?" JUSTIN ANSWERED IT ON THE FIRST RING. "HEY WHATS UP WITH LEAVING ME ALL ALONE?" "HEY SWEATIE,IM SORRY,BUT YOU JUST LOOKED SO ANGELIC I COULDNT WAKE YOU UP."JUSTINS VOICE SOUNDED SO SOFT. "IT'S OK. HEY ON YOUR WAY BACK DONT FORGET TO PICK UP SOME FOOD." WE BOTH LET OUT A LAUGH. "SURE THING WELL BE OUTTA HERE IN  A FEW SO ENJOY YOUR LAST MOMENTS OF SILENCE." HE SOUNDED LIKE HE WANTED TO GET OUT OF THE INTERVIEW AND COME BACK TO THE BUS. "ACTUALLY I LIKE IT WHEN YOU GUYS ARE ON THE BUS WITH ME. I DONT FEEL AO LONELY." I SAID AS I STARTED TO BLUSH."AWWWWWW!!! I FEEL LOVED!" HE SAID AS HE SMILED I COULD HEAR IT THROUGH THE PHONE."YOU SHOULD!" I REMARKEDAS I LAUGHED.THEN HE SAID HE HAD TO GO AND FINISH THE INTERVIEW."OK BYE" "BYE" I SAT DOWN ON THE COUCH AND DAZED OFF.
