The next morning, McKennah rolled out of bed, threw her hair in a ponytail, found a pair of track pants and a tank top, put those on and her sneakers and went to the hotel to get her things from Lynn's room. She knocked, expecting Lynn, but it was swung open by a sleepy-eyed Justin. "I tried to call SO many times last night, why didn't you answer?"
"I took the phone's off the hook Justin. Let me in."
"No. Explain yourself McKennah."
She shoved past him, "Shut up Justin. I came for my stuff and then I'm going back home."
"You're not coming with us today??"
"Do I look stupid Justin?? No, I'm not coming back with you. I'm going to see my dad in a few days, I haven't seen him in awhile and figured I'd better before school starts."
"You promised you'd stay on the tour...."
"I lied Justin."
"McKennah..."
She found her suitcase and pulled it out and went to find the rest of her things she had stored there.
"Remember, Justin, I can't be around you. I'm just the lowly friend who treats you normal. I'm so surprised you actually said I looked pretty last night Justin! Remember, I don't like to get dressed up. Shows that you know SHIT about me Justin!"
"What are you talking about McKennah?!"
"Last night Justin! Geez!! You wondered why I was even there in the first place..since I didn't go with you or anything...NEWSFLASH TIMBERLAKE! THE WORLD DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND YOUR ASS!!"
"I never said it did!," He growled.
"Bullshit!"
"I didn't!"
"Whatever! Yes you did! You should of just stayed with Britney and gotten it on! I never asked you to come over and begin treating me like shit..I mean, HELLO! I was having a fine time with your mom and brother."
"I wanted to come over there..I hadn't seen you all night McKennah."
"And then you yell at me because I kinda get mad that you went with Britney!"
"I wasn't the one that started the yelling!"
"Yes you were. Bye Justin."
"Your shit better be out of my house by the time I get home then McKennah."
Her jaw dropped, "You're kicking me out?!"
"If you're going to act like a bitch, yes!"
She dropped her things, walked over to him, and punched him squarely in the right jaw. "I despise this person you have turned into Justin Randall Timberlake.," She growled as he howled in pain on the floor.
McKennah then walked back over to her things, swung the door open and walked out, shutting it firmly behind her. Sam was running down the hall, "What happened in there McKennah??"
"Oh I don't know Sam..he was just acting like an egotistical BRAT.he'll be fine. Although, I'm sure the make-up people won't be too happy when they see him. Bye Sam."
She rode the elevator to the first floor and then walked out to her car and put her things in the trunk. Then, she got in, and drove back to the house.
Two weeks later, Justin arrived home from the tour. Everything that had ever belonged to her was gone.
He hadn't actually thought she'd move out. He touched his jaw, he still had a dark purple/greenish bruise on it from where she had let her right hook go. He grimaced slightly, and found a note on top of the countertop.
My keys are up on your dresser. Don't worry, all your stuff is in tact...although burning your clothes did cross my mind Justin. I don't know why we said the things we said..I think we just grew apart. And I am not sorry that I punched your sorry ass. TRL was good that day...:) You won't be able to contact me for awhile..I found out my dad's sick and I'm not going back to school so I can go be with him. I think JC has my number if you ever absolutely need to get ahold of me. I'm sorry for that night Justin. I guess I was wishing that 'realization' you had a few months ago was ME...a girl can dream, I guess, huh? Oh yes Justin, I AM a girl and I actually do enjoy dressing up...look at the picture on the mantle..should remind you.
He put the note back down on the counter and walked into the living room and towards the fire place he really had no use for..it was Florida. He looked at the mantle and almost laughed. The prom they went to together. He had been SO nervous to ask her to that thing and he did and she agreed. She had looked so cute and yet so uncomfortable in that dress. He was so proud he was going with one of his best friends. Under that was another note. Remember this lyric...you sang it to me one night when I was sick, right after I moved in, it always makes me feel better and smile..."your very first kiss, changed all this, something only you could do. You made me a believer, you made me trust again, you showed me there's a pot of gold at every rainbow's end...." For some reason, that one lyric helped me Justin...it calms me. I'm sorry.
