Chapter song: Catch Me by Demi Lovato
-9am-
I was awake first, so I thought about how I'm gonna live without Justin. I could feel his calm breath against my skin. I hugged him tightly. The sorrow had gotten to my head.
"Shit"
Justin gasped awake, and I instantly let go.
"Sorry"
I whispered.
"How long have you been up, babe?"
Justin gently stroked my arm.
"I don't know"
I stayed at a whisper.
"Don't tell me you're thinking about me"
He sat up and looked at me.
"How can I not?"
I mumbled sadly.
"Just...don't make yourself miserable, babygirl"
He brushed his thumb over my cheek.
"Can we just go somewhere else?"
I turned away and mentally sighed.
"Yea"
Justin put on a shirt and took my hand. We walked out and into a McDonald's. I could burst into tears at any time.
"I love you. You know that?"
Justin stared into my eyes. I nodded and picked at my pancakes.
"Hey, talk to me, bae"
He took my fork and set it down, then turned me to face him.
"Yes"
I blinked back a few tears.
"Becca, please tell me you'll be ok while I'm not here. I don't want to hear that you're burning a house down or anything"
Justin tried to brighten the mood, but now wasn't the time.
"I won't do anything like that"
I shook my head.
"Good"
His lips pressed against my forehead.
"Don't you have to pack?"
I narrowed my eyes.
"Yea, you wanna help me? I don't wanna forget anything"
He flipped his hair.
"Ok"
I took another bite of food before throwing it away. We went to Justin's house and entered his room. We started stuffing 3 suitcases with Justin's belongings.
"Here, it's yours"
Justin handed me his gray shirt, the one I wore at the Bahamas.
"Oh, thanks"
I took it and sniffed it, inhaling the marshmallow and cologne scent.
"Smell good?"
He chuckled.
"It smells like you"
I smiled at the scent.
"You're so cute"
He pecked my nose, making me blush. I wanted to run away. Maybe if I did, I wouldn't have to see Justin go.
"I'm gonna put this up real quick"
I headed out of his room and out his front door. I started running wherever the pain led me. Tears were finally released and flowed down my face. I ran into the woods and to the creek. I huddled myself into a ball and cried. I couldn't go through with this.
(Justin's pov)
It's been 15 minutes, and Becca hasn't returned. I zipped up my suitcases then walked to Becca's. When I went to her room, she wasn't there. I knocked on the front door to see her mom open it.
"Hi Justin, how are you?"
Becca's mom asked.
"Have you seen Becca?"
I was too worried to answer her question.
"I'm afraid not. Why? Has she run away again?"
Her mom grew worried.
"I'll find her"
Was all I said before turning around. Dammit, why did she do this? Oh...right. I'm leaving in less than 4 hours. What do I expect? I sighed then looked in the park. Nothing. I looked in the alley that she'd go some times. Nothing. I looked in the creek to see and hear Becca crying. My heart ached, and I rushed to her side.
"Becca, don't cry"
I held her in my arms and let her cry in my shoulder.
"Stay, Justin...don't go"
She cried softly.
"Becca-"
"I don't want you to go. Please stay...just stay"
She squeezed my arm.
"...I wish I could"
I muttered sorrowfully.
"Justin...please"
She begged in tears.
"I can't, Becca. I don't have a choice"
I stroked her back.
"Justin"
Her crying got more painful.
"Shhh, it's ok. We're gonna be ok, Becca. I'll call you everyday"
I dried her eyes. She hugged me tightly and cried in my shoulder.
"It's not the same"
She sobbed. My shirt was getting wet, so I started humming some cheerful tunes in her ear. Soon enough, her crying calmed down. We stayed like that, and I rocked her gently until her she was completely calm.
"I wish you could go with me"
I mumbled against her soft hair.
"Me too"
She whispered back.
"I wish this never happened to me"
I'd rather stay in this lonely town forever than become famous.
"But then you wouldn't be happy. This is your dream, Justin"
Becca spoke sadly.
"It doesn't feel like it without you"
I felt myself tear up. Dammit.
"...I'll be ok, Justin"
She finally said.
"I love you so much"
I hugged her tight and let the tears out.
"I love you too"
She hugged back.
"I'll be fine. I promise, Justin"
Becca dried my eyes and kissed my cheek.
"We should get some lunch"
I helped her up and out of the woods. There was a Chipotle nearby, so we went there. Becca and I ate slowly to waste more time. I'll be gone in 1 and 1/2 hours. It hurts to leave everything I love behind. I've known Becca since I was 6 and leaving her makes me wanna cry yet hit something at the same time. After we ate, I took Becca for some hot chocolate. I kissed her cheek as she looked at the brownie I bought her. We were sitting on a sidewalk curb.
"Smile"
I gave her a grin as she weakly smiled.
"Put the brownie down"
I ordered, and she put it in the table.
"I know what'll brighten the mood"
I popped my fingers.
"Justin, don't you dare"
She held herself and moved away. I pinned her hands on the ground and hovered over her.
"You're so perfect"
I kissed her lips. Her cheeks flushed with pink, making me chuckle. I started to tickle her, and she bursted with laughter. I love it when she laughs.
"Justin! Justin! Sto-mmm"
I stopped and kissed her as she giggled.
"Let's go"
I helped her up. I prepared myself for the worst part of the day.
