Hey guys.. This time I tried to write something different than my usually happy stuff and tried to write Justin's point of view. Let me know if you like this chapter and what you'd like to read about next in the comments below. Thank you :)
'Fine, I'm here. I'm listening. Tell me Justin.. What do you have to say for yourself!?' I couldn't believe what I had just seen. Cheating was the last thing I had expected out of him.
We were extremely happy today.. It was going to be 6 months since we had been together. He had texted me to come to a restaurant down town. I waited for him long enough, almost an hour, but he didnt show up. He wouldn't even answer his phone. So, I decided to go to his house and find out what was happening after all. After reaching his place I walked up to his room, only to find him just about to kiss some girl. He probably heard the door bang and my purse and phone drop out of my hands, but I couldn't even feel that.. It felt like I was falling into a deep dark hole.. Everything around me started to darken.. And I got nauseous. Suddenly my legs couldn't stand anymore.. Suddenly, my body gave up, and the last thing I remember was my head held in Justin's hand just before it was going to bang on the hard wood floor.. And his eyes widened with shock.. And mine dimering with pain.
The next thing I remember was waking up I'm the OCR with Justin sitting next to me..holding my hand.
I pulled my hand away from him, making the need for distance clear to him.
'Will you believe me when I say, it's not what it looked like?' He said, staring into empty space.
'No.' I said firmly. 'Who was she?'
'She's Serena. My 1st girlfriend and love.' He looked at me, with guilt covering his face. ' if I told you the absolute truth.. Do you promise me, that you will try your best to understand?' He asked. 'Yes, I will ' I replied.
'Serena and I dated almost 2 years. She was the 1st girl I loved with all my heart. Gave her everything. She and one of my enemies were playing a game with me on the other side. She played me, duped me out of a lot of cash, cheated on me, humiliated me. And I still loved her. I ignored everything she did to me, and still chose to love her. One day.. She told me she was pregnant and that I was the dad. As terrified as I was, I still chose to take responsibility for my deeds. Until, she took that paternity test 5 months after me convincing her. It wasnt mine. That was the last straw. I decided that I had done too much, and hence.. We broke up. Today as I was about to leave. I saw her opposite the street. She was terribly sorry for everything that she had done. I met her son. He's three now. And I invited her over. She spoke to me about how that guy had played her and how she had realized all her mistakes. And then she came close to kiss me. I was so lost in the past, that once again I became that person. That needy, useless, sick brat who couldn't see where he was going. Until you came. And when you came, I saw this new Justin, just shatter into pieces right in your eyes. Look I'm not saying that I love Serena even now..I love you with all my heart. But don't you have that person that you gave up everything for. That you gave away all you had, even your self respect for them.. And they never valued that? Serena is that person for me. I love you very much Vrutika. But this is the whole truth. And whatever you decide right now, is going to be followed by me, without any questions or explanations.' He looked to the floor..with his hands in his pockets..
' that person for me, was Sameer. But, after I met you.. I started seeing myself differently. For once I felt like I was good enough.. And I thought u felt the same way too. I didnt know you needed Serena's permission to feel better about yourself. I thought I did that for you.' A tear rolled down my cheek. I pressed a button on the remote attached to my bed that signaled a nurse to come in. 'Can you please escort this man outside. I need some rest' I told nurse not being able to look Justin in the eye. He looked at me for a couple of seconds and walked out on his own.. While I lay there in my hospital bed, just crying to what had become of a relationship I had given up literally everything for.
All I wanted at that moment was for him to come, give me a hug, never let me go, apologize and convince me somehow that this was just a bad dream, that everything was going to be okay again.
Justin's POV
I walked home from the hospital in the blistering cold.. What was I thinking? Did I really think she would forgive me..? And why in the 1st place would I want to give a wonderful girl like her up for Serena? She's always been a total bitch to me.. Vrutika on the other hand was there for me.. Made me feel something after all the fights and all the flings, she made me want to be a better person. I couldn't believe how stupid I was being. I couldn't believe I threw away the one thing that made me happy again.
I reached home and walked up to my room only to find Serena still sitting there.
'What the hell are u still doing here?' I snarled.
'Aww baby, don't be like that.. You know I can make u feel better.' She came closer to me and was just about to touch my face when I held her hand, stopping her and pushed her away. ' get out of my house. I never want to see your face again or hear from you, and if I do, I swear, no one will ever see you or hear from you again.' The anger filled my eyes and with every word I said I had to hold back the urge to slap her right in her face.
'Fine. I'll leave, but I'm sure you'll come crawling back to me just like you always do.' She picked up her coat and exited my room.
I felt horrible. All I wanted to do was go back to the hospital, and give vrutika a huge hug and never let her go. Convince her somehow that I was there for here and I was always going to love her and only her, that losing her would kill me. But I had to give her the time to think and sort this out for herself. Or should I just call her?
Ugh I'm so confused. I went to my room and picked up my phone, and called the one person who'd give me the right advice for this situation. The phone rang a couple of times and she finally answered. 'Hey mom? It's justin.' It had been 4 years since I'd spoken to mom.. But her voice still sounded the same to me. 'Baby.. How are you!? I knew you'd call.. I've been praying for that.. Is everything ok? Are you ok? Where are you..?' She finally stopped to take a breathe and anticipated my answer. ' mum, I'm good and everything is good. But right now, I need some advice. Here's the thing...' And then I narrated everything from the beginning, how I met vrutika, how we started dating, told her that we were really happy, and then told her everything that happened today. She didnt utter a word while I told her everything. ' you idiot! How could you do that to anyone you love so much?! What has gotten into you..?! And with that woman?! I mean, has your head gotten into your ass?' She screamt. 'I know mom.. That's why Im calling you.. To help me out here.' I covered my face. Why dint I expect my mom to get hysterical after all?
'Okay, here's what you're going to do, you are going to book a table at the nicest restaurant in LA, you are going to take your nicest car, and you are going to look your best, and by best I don't mean those jeans that start at your knees. Dress up like a man, you are then going to go and pick up a beautiful dress for her, and maybe 12 dozen roses.. You will go to the emergency room and you will go on your knees and apologize. You will beg for her forgiveness and make her feel alright. And then when she agrees you will take her out and give her the beautiful celebration a girl deserves on her 6 month anniversary. Is that understood?' She finally concluded. 'Yes m'am. I mean, mum.' I said. 'And honey, call me more often?' She requested.. 'Yea mom, I will. But right now I gotta run. Bye mum, love you, thanks' I said taking off my shirt and putting a fresh new white shirt on. 'Bye sweety. Love you too.' She said and I disconnected the phone, and put on my blazer. I'm going to give her the best night of her life, she only has to say yes.
