Chapter 12: Girl Problems

Keira popped in a disc of the Friends DVDs and put it on pause. She ran to the couch and curled up in Justin's arms as the opening scenes started up. The very famous theme played up and they started singing.

Keira grabbed his hand and clapped them when the clapping came up, "Hey, I can clap for myself you know."

"Yeah I know. I just felt like it."

He laughed, hugging her body closer. He checked the time and frowned. Only 3 hours left of being with her. Her mom told him she'd come back at 6 in the evening. It really sucks. Well, better soak up what I can with her."Keira?"

She was so absorbed in the TV, she hadn't heard him, "Sorry what?"

"Are you having fun?"

"Huh?"

"Are you having a good time?"

She turned her head to him, kissing his lips softly, "Do you have to ask? Of course I am. I can't remember the last time someone paid this much attention to me."

"Well get used to it. You won't feel alone when I'm around."

She turned back around giggling suddenly, "I love you."

He thought he heard right. Had he? No, wasn't possible. "What did you say?"

"Rachel just heard that Ross was in love with her in Central Perk when she was closing. That's classic!" she laughed some more.

"Oh heh. Right, that's right," he laughed weirdly.

She grabbed him hand and kissed it, "Stop being weird. Oh, right I forgot its you."

"Haha. I really wanna hear you sing. When will you sing to me?"

"When you stop bothering me and watch the show," she pressed.

"Sorry, I just... I'm curious is all."

She sighed, "No one has really cared all that much about my singing. I'm having a hard time believing you are kind of."

"What, why do you say that?"

"Trust, I haven't learned that much in life. I'm still in this bubble of shock that you care so much. I guess that makes me horrible."

"No, not that. Nothing about you is. You're just well, truthfully you sound really lonely, but I'm will to change all that."

"People make promises and break them. How can I believe you're different?"

"You're gonna have to trust me."

What the fuck? Trust? She can barely trust herself. Who the hell was he anyway? Some Pop star with sex and money on his mind? Friendship? Yeah right. This wasn't about her, it was about him. Shit, she's sick of this game. She's been scared off and hurt the last time. She knew what she had to do. Its the only way to save herself from anyone.

Who was she kidding? She sure as hell cannot do this. Pushing him away almost worked. She bit her lip and got up, "Um, I'll be right back."

As she got up, his eyes stared. He grabbed her elbow, "Something wrong?"

She calmly pulled her arm away and shook her head, "No, I just remembered something that's all. You can stay down here, I'll be back."

"OK, as long as you're OK."

She nodded with a smiled, "Yeah, I'm, um... girl problems you know."

He laughed, "Aight, come back." He gave her a kiss.

She turned and left upstairs to her and shut the door. She grabbed her cell and dialed Brit. The line picked up, "Hey, um I need you to come get me, its an emergency. I don't know, your place I guess. Fine, just come. A block down on the corner of Oak Glen. OK, bye."

She knew what she was doing was just wrong but she had to. She grabbed her purse, climbed out the window, and carefully climbed down the side latter. She got down and walked briskly to the end of her street. She hide herself behind a wall and waited. She looked back quickly. Not now! Now of all times she's having doubts. "It has to be this way. He knows he's like everyone else. OK, stop thinking about it!" She yelled at herself.

"How you doin?" Joey smirked on the TV.

Justin was getting impatient. What the hell is she doing that's taking this long? "Fuck it. Gotta see if she's OK."

He jogged up the stairs and knocked softly on her door, "Sweetie? You alright?"

He opened the door slowly and noticed she wasn't there. He frowned. "Maybe in the bathroom."

No. He was wrong again. "Keira? Where are you?"

Than he looked outside of her big window saw her waiting from far away. He saw a car come next to her and she quickly got in. He grew so angry his knuckle were a ghostly shade. "Fuck! She's not winning this war."

He ran as fast as he could to his car and followed right behind the one who carried the only girl who finally opened his eyes to just being just yourself with someone.
