Chapter 1
Where are you? Im waiting in the trailor with jaden. Leggo! I miss you.
I smiled and flipped open my phone to answer Justin’s text.
Chill. Im on my way. I miss u guys too dude. Save me some pizza.
Whoops. Already ate it all J
I hate u. turning around right now..
JK!! Hurry
Haha k J
Leaning my head against the cool window of Mark’s car, I closed my eyes to calm the butterflies that were swarming in my stomach. Don’t take that the wrong way- me and Justin were bros, ever since 3rd grade when I beat him in soccer and his mom took us out to ice cream. It’s crazy how long ago that was. Now Justin just turned 17 and I’m still 16. I haven’t seen him in 5 months, which is insane compared to the weeks we would spend together before he turned into the HA-uge pop star he is today. 5 months. I took a deep shaky breath. It’s ok Kylie. I told myself. He didn’t forget about you. He has Selena but he still hasn’t forgotten about you. He said he missed you. He told you to hurry. You’re still important to him. “I’m still important to him” I murmured to myself.
“What was that?” Mark asked, leaning toward me. Mark was one of Justin’s financial advisors and also a good friend. He has picked me up at the airport and driven me to see Justin the few times I’ve got to visit.
“Oh, nevermind.” I said quickly, looking away.
He nodded. “Five more minutes.”
I took a shaky breath. 5 months is a long time. Enough time for a guy to change (besides his hair cut). What if we don’t have that great chemistry anymore? What if he finds me boring? What if he takes one look at me and thinks, damn, why did I ever want to hang out with her?
My phone vibrated, pulling me away from those scary thoughts. Jaden’s name lit up the screen.
Justins dying to see you. Hes been pacing around all day waiting for you. Don’t tell him I told u tho or else id b dead. Cya soon(:
How did Jaden know that was exactly what I needed? I beamed and clutched my phone to my stomach, forgetting to reply. I suddenly remembered that after not seeing him for 5 months, I might as well look presentable. I flipped down the mirror and huffed. My wavy brown hair was knotted in a messy bun near my left ear, fly-aways everywhere. Small purple bags under my eyes peeked out from beneath my concealer. My slim pointed nose stuck out little, as always. Under it my fresh pink lips looked plump and shiny as I coated on a layer of lipliscious. I smiled to myself in the mirror, showing off white, straight teeth that felt naked without their braces. A small, red zit dared to show itself on my chin, which I quickly made invisible with my portable cover-up. I was about to fix my hair, but then decided against it, not wanting to look like I was trying to impress anybody. Not that they would think that anyway, due to my clothes. Comfy gray Babson sweats swallowed my tan, toned legs and sky blue hightops covered my feet, a Christmas gift from Justin last year. On top I wore a pink fitted holister Tee that cut down just enough to give the outfit a girly look, because over that was a black soccer warm up jacket that made me look 20 pounds heavier.
Out of the corner of my eye, I caught Mark grinning at me. I quickly snapped the mirror shut and pulled my green checkered sunglasses over my eyes. “What?” I snapped. He just shook his head, that silly grin still plastered on his face.
“We’re here,” he smiled.
I took a deep breath as the car slowed to a stop and before I could stop myself, I was throwing open the door and running out. On the other side of the parking lot, I saw Justin coolly saunter down his trailor’s steps, a smile on his face and matching sunglasses over his eyes. I probably looked ridiculous sprinting into his open arms, but I couldn’t care less. They enveloped me in a huge warm embrace, and I realize just how much he’s filled out. His muscular arms tightened around me.
“Hey,” he breathed into my ear.
I didn’t let go of him. “Hey,” I mumbled into his shoulder. Damn, that boy smelled good.
After a few more seconds of silence, he gently pulled away and help me at arms length, chuckling. “Look at you. You know we aren’t attending the Grammy’s right?”
I rolled my eyes at his teasing comment about my sweats. Before I had time to really respond, Willow came shooting out of the trailer. “Kyylieee!!” She screeched, jumping into my arms.
“Willow!” I laughed, hugging her tight and pulling her off the ground. “Whats up my girl?”
“Not much, just touring the world,” she giggled, letting go and dropping to the ground.
“Jeez, get a life,” I playfully ruffled her hair and looked around. “Wheres Jaden?”
“Thought you had forgotten ‘bout me.”
I turned around and there he was, coming around the side of the trailer, looking as cool as ever in silver skinnys and a black leather jacket. He flashed me a smile full of pearly white teeth that popped against his dark skin. I flashed one back.
“No braces!” We both exclaim, and then laugh, just so happy to see each other. He held up his hand for a high five but I pulled him in for a hug instead, and realized just how tall he was. “Whoa. Your still fifteen, right?” I cry, realizing I had to look up to see the top of his head.
“Yeah,” He smiled.
I backed away and looked at all three of them, wondering how such big stars kept time in their life for me. I’m the luckiest girl in the world. I thought to myself.
“Com’on, lets go inside,” Justin suggested, unconsciously putting a guiding hand on the small of my back. “My mom has been dying to see you.”
