Chapter 17: Sailing
I left calls on his answering machine...I tried talking to
him...I told JC and the guys to please tell him I want to talk
but nothing...he never called, talked, or even gave me the
slightest hint that he would hear me out.
So today I was going over to his house. I knocked on his door and his mom answered it.
"Hi, is Justin there?" I asked her.
"No sweety he isn't..you must be Ashley! We've certainly had a lot of messages on our machine to Justin from you," she said laughing. "Come on in" she said.
"Thanks! The reason I came by was to ask you if I could wait for him here? Because Justin means a whole lot to me! Do you know where he might be?" I asked her hopefully she knew.
"Well, if I know Justin he may be at the local pizza place!" she said.
"Oh thanks!" I said and got in my car and drove over to "Pizza Palace"!! But when I entered the restaurant I saw all four of his friends! Where was he?
"Hey guys, Have you seen Justin?" I asked.
"Uh hey Ash why don't you sit down and talk?" JC asked.
"No, I'd rather find Justin," I said. The way JC was acting was giving me the conclusion that maybe I should be looking for him. Then I saw him....lip-locked with a familiar blond haired girl who has been on my back ever since I started liking Nick.
"Justin," I called out. Justin then turned around all red.
"Ashley. I can explain," he said.
"There's no need to! I have enough proof here! I just came to tell you that what you thought I was doing was going behind your back.. well I wasn't! Nick was crying I just comforted him but would never cheat on you! But I see you didn't have those same feelings for me!!! I understand... I understand Justin that I never ever want to see you again!!" I said crying and running out of the building.
"Ashley, don't leave! Justin didn't mean to!" JC said.
"Look JC I thought you were my friend, but instead you watched me get hurt! what kind of friend are you?" I asked him.
"I was just---" he started.
"Don't even answer that! I know what kind of friend you are!!" I said and got into my Jeep and drove off!
