"Ali, I had no idea I'm so sorry." Justin was now holding Ali in his arms.
"Yeah I know. I guess the fact that he called me that in a place I just freaked out."
"Why would a name cause you so much pain though?"
"Well when my parents were killed Jack called me that to remind me of being little and playing out in the yard. We would scream and yell and have the best times and our fathers would be standing on the deck watching us. My Dad called me that when I was little as well. I guess the name was just to keep me focused on the wonderful times we had together instead of the pain. I think he said it cause he knows I am going to experience pain soon."
"I see. I'm sorry I didn't know or even realize..."
"Justin there is no way you could have."
"I know, but I don't know what to do." Ali was again crying hard now. But she felt safe and secure in his arms like nothing could hurt her.
"I'm here for you don't worry everything is going to be alright. I won't ever leave you alone. I promise." As the words came out of Justin's mouth he realized how much truth was behind them.
"Thank you for everything." Ali wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him for a long time.
Finally Justin broke the hug, "Come on it's really late we should get some sleep."
"Ok. Let's go."
They walked up to their floor to find five sleeping guys sprawled out everywhere. There was obviously no place for them to sleep.
"I guess there isn't anywhere for us to go." Said Ali.
"Come on we can go somewhere else."
Very confused, but also very tired, Ali followed Justin out side. They walked into the parking lot, but it was too dark to see where they heading.
"Here we are." Justin was pointing to a very big bus. "Come on I have to keys."
"Ok? Isn't this the tour bus? Are you sure this is ok?"
"Don't worry about it! And no this isn't the tour bus it's just a bus we go on if we are traveling a long way. And besides it's me Justin Timba-Timbalake."
"Don't do the beat boxing now. It's too late for me to cheer you on."
"Haha, ok let's get in. It's pretty cold out here."
They climbed into the bus and Justin gave Ali the grand tour. After about 2 minutes of touring Justin said " and here is the social room basically. We just chill here and watch tv and stuff."
"Well, that was a very wonderful tour." Ali was trying to be serious, but couldn't hold back her laughter.
"Get over here you giggling girl!" Justin pounced onto Ali and tickled her until she was out of breath. Ali now had her head in Justin's lap and was breathing hard.
"That wasn't fair I'm too tired to beat your butt."
"Oh right. Go ahead and fall asleep I'll carry you into the bed a little later."
Before Justin could say any more Ali's breathing had become deep and regular. It was obvious she had already fallen asleep. "Good night Ali." Justin kissed her forehead and stroked her hair.
Wow, she is really beautiful. After that thought Justin fell asleep as well.
