Justin stuffed his hands in his pockets and tried not to look into her eyes. Her eyes were what always got him..no matter what. She could use those two bright, clear blue eyes and make his knees go weak.
Emma sighed, "Are you going to look at me?"
"No," He replied stiffly.
"So, was that your little girlfriend? She's cute J..," She said almost innocently.
"Don't call me that."
She stuck out her bottom lip in a fake pout, "Awww..Justin doesn't like it when I call him J? If I remember correctly, that's what you loved me to call you."
"Well, me and you aren't together anymore Emma and that's in the past."
"And you're still stuck in it.," She said crossing her arms in front of her.
His head shot up, "No I'm not."
"If she's not your girlfriend, then who is she?"
"Why do you all of a sudden care what I'm doing or who I'm with Emma? You called me a peice of shit and said I wouldn't be worth dirt!"
"Oooooooo temper, temper."
"Don't egg me on Emma.," He growled.
She huffed, "Justin, I just want to talk."
"Well I don't want to talk to you or see you ever again. It disgusts me that I'm even still here!"
Her eyes darkened and narrowed, she grabbed his forearm as he passed, "You are a peice of shit Justin Timberlake. You're not worth any woman's time. Lord knows why she's putting up with you. Oh! Could it be, she knows who you are and likes what you do...Orrrr, it could be that she loves the fact that you have money. Your fame and popularity are the only things you have going for you Justin, and those are the only things you ever will."
"Screw you Emma."
She smirked, "We already did Justin..or don't you remember?"
He stormed up to the parking lot and got into the car, slamming the door behind him.
He let out the breath he had been holding and his grip on the steering wheel tightened. "Justin? Are you okay?"
He looked into the rearview mirror, Jon looked a little frightened. "I'm fine Jon..let's get you home."
Not another word was said all the way back to Justin's mom's house.
He pulled into the driveway and turned to Alexa, "Stay here, I'll be right back."
She just nodded, a little afraid to do anything otherwise. "Bye Alexa.," Jon said.
"Bye, see you later Jon!"
Justin disappeared into the house and was back out a second later and into the car. His grip on the steering wheel tightened once more as he manuevered the car out of the neighborhood. Alexa was almost afraid he'd break it in half.
"Justin?," She asked timidly.
"Hmm?"
"Where are we going?"
"I don't know."
"Justin?"
"WHAT?!"
Alexa jumped and leaned back into the seat, almost wishing she could disappear into it.
Justin didn't pay attention as he finally pulled into an abondoned parking lot and turned off the car. He looked over and his eyes widened, Alexa was cowering in the corner as far as she could.
He sighed and pressed his finger and thumb against the bridge of his nose, he had a huge headache forming. "I'm sorry Lexi."
"No you're not.," She said getting out of the car.
"Alexa...Lexi...Alexa!"
Justin got out of the car to follow her, "Alexa!"
He grabbed her arm and she jerked away as if his touch burned her. She almost fell but steadied herself and tried to jerk away as Justin grabbed her arm again. "Get off me!"
"Alexa!"
"Stop!"
She stumbled over a rock and fell to the ground, taking Justin with her. He fell almost on top of her and was surprised when she began to fight him and push him off. "Get off of me! Don't touch me!"
He sat up, trying to stop her hands and nails from scratching him and hitting him, "Alexa! Stop! I'm not HIM!"
"WILL! DON'T TOUCH ME! Don't hit me!!"
"Alexa! I'm not Will! I'm Justin!," He exclaimed finally grabbing ahold of her hands as he sat (gingerly) on her legs to keep her from kicking him...*there*.
Her eyes were shut tightly as if she was afraid to open them and see a fist coming straight at her. Her breathing was erratic and rapid. Justin relaxed his hands and they fell onto her, "Alexa..open your eyes."
She shook her head, her eyes still shut tightly.
"Alexa..please, open your eyes. Realize I'm not him...It's Justin...I didn't mean to snap at you..I didn't realize it'd frighten you that way...I..I forgot about you and that whole thing with Will..please, open your eyes Alexa."
It seemed like an eternity before her eyes opened and slammed directly into his. She looked scared for a minute but then he saw her visibly relax and she closed her eyes again, but didn't clench them like she did before.
"I am so sorry.," He said quietly.
She sniffled a little, trying her hardest not to start crying right then and there. Justin got up and sat down next to her, "I didn't know Alexa..I forgot for that one brief second...this day was so wonderful and then she had to come and just ruin it all and I'm so sorry I scared you like that.."
A tear ran down the side of her face and that turned into an all out sob. Justin pulled her up and wrapped his arms around her, she clung to him as if her life depended on it.
She didn't know why but after he had snapped at her, she came to the conclusion that he was Will. And Will was always out to harm her in some way, whether it was physically, mentally or emotionally. Alexa never wanted to see or feel Will's touch ever again. When Justin had grabbed her arm, she was convinced it was Will and he was going to hurt her.
She finally stopped crying and pulled away, "God I am such an idiot..I'm so sorry Justin.."
"Don't be..I'm the one who's sorry.."
"I just...I thought you were him and I freaked..oh my Lord, I feel so stupid.."
He bent down to look at her, "Just please tell me you're okay."
She nodded, "I'm okay...I'm fine..really..I just..freaked..I feel like such a dork.."
He helped her up, "Come on, let's go to your place."
