Chapter 9- That Should Be Me

"Two people can look at the same thing and see it differently."~ Justin Bieber

I lay in bed staring at my ceiling, thinking about nothing in particular. I imagine shapes on the white wall.  I sigh to myself minutes later before dragging myself out of my bed. Once sitting up, I yawn and reach for my phone. 10:08. I decide to have a shower due to the smell of sweat I can smell on myself. Before heading into my bathroom I call Justin's phone, again.

After Bruce left last night I called Justin's phone a multiple number of times but got the same response every time; no answer. I grab my phone and redial Justin's number. I count the number of rings... One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten-

"The number you have called is currently unavailable..." I sigh to myself before hanging up. I throw my phone onto my bed before making my way into the bathroom.

"Morning mom."

"Morning darling. Sleeping well?"

"Yeah, I guess so. You?"

"Good, as usual. What would you like for breakfast darling?"

"I'll make it mom." I tell her before standing up and pouring milk into a bowl. I add some Coco Pops in afore taking a seat again. I munch on my Coco Pops while my mom finishes eating her toast. After a few minutes my mom speaks up,

"How have you and Justin been?"

"Er," Random, "Good, I guess. We are slowly getting back to normal, but yesterday he just left?"

"He left? Why?"

"I have no idea. Bruce and I were just talking-"

"Bruce was here?"

"Yeah? He came sometime after school. You don't mind do you?" I frown.

"What? Darling no. Obviously I don't mind. Bruce is a lovely boy and so handsome. You have done well Amber!" She winks at me and I groan and then place my head on the kitchen island.

"Mom!"

"What? I was just saying..."

"Well don't! That just makes things awkward."

"Well I am sorry for complimenting my daughter on her boyfriend."

"That is different, and he isn't my boyfriend... just yet."

"Why not?"

"We have decided to see where this is going."

"Well I see it heading towards me being a grandmother. Please wait a couple of years though. I am too young."

"MOM!" I scream covering my eyes. "We haven't even... you know... and I don't plan on anytime soon. I'm a virgin mom. Gosh!"

"Darling that is way too much information. All I'm saying is don't rush and when you feel it is right use protection."

"Ew. Okay mother. I'm going to go now." I quickly finish the remainders of my cereal before bounding up the stairs. Once upstairs I fall back first onto by bed. I feel something digging into my back and I check to find my phone. I see two missed calls and my hopes rise to see Justin's name. But I am let down.

I see two missed calls from Bruce. I press the call button and await for him to answer. I glance around my wall wondering about what colour I could paint my room next.

"Hello. Are you going to talk or not?"

"Oh, sorry. I am here. Hey. You called?"

"Yeah, I did. I was just wondering if you could meet up today?"

"Yeah, sure. What now?"

"If that is okay? Like ten minutes?"

"Alright. I'll see you then. Bye." I hang up and slip my phone into my front pocket before brushing my hair. I decide to let my hair hang in a ponytail behind my back.

I run down the stairs before opening the front door. "Mom! I'm going out! See you later!"

"Alright! Don't be too late! Have fun!"

I shut the door and walk down my drive. As I wait for Bruce my phone buzzes. I pull my phone only to see Justin's name being presented across the screen. I slide my thumb across the screen to answer. I put the phone to my ear,

"Hey, you finally decided to call me back?"

"Yeah, sorry. I was at the studio all night."

"Oh. Sorry for disturbing."

"Was it something important?"

"Er, not really. I was just wondering where you got off to."

"Oh, I had to go to the studio. You know how the album is coming out soon..."

"Oh. Okay. You just left though?"

"I was calling you for ages but you were too busy with Bruce." I hear the sadness in his voice.

"Oh. I'm sorry?"

"It's okay. Want to hang out today?" Not being able to say no, I agree before hanging up.

Now what to do? I can't cancel on him but I also can't cancel on Bruce. Maybe I could hang out with them both?

I decide on hanging out with them both; taking Bruce to Justin's house. I see Bruce's SUV parking up and I walk towards it. I get into the passenger seat as I greet Bruce.

"I was wondering if we could go to Justin's house."

"Can I come with?"

"Yeah, sure."

"Then, yes we can." I smile at him, grateful, just as he presses down on the gas. Soon enough we are parked outside Justin's gate.

We get out of the car and I go to speak to the gatekeeper. Once he recognises me, he nods and opens the doors for us. Bruce passes his car keys over to the car keeper and walks hand in hand with me. I smile down at out intertwined hands. Once we have reached his large doors I ring the doorbell. A few seconds go by before someone answers the door. It's no surprise when I see it's one of his maids. I greet her just as she opens the door wider welcoming us in. I cautiously step in, afraid I may break something. We are led to the front room. Bruce takes a seat and pulls me down to him. I fall on his lap and I blush deeply. I stare at his face taking in all his features. His grey eyes as mesmerizing as ever. A throat being cleared causes me to look away. I'm met by Justin's face who has anger slightly etched into it.

"Hey Justin." I greet.

"Hey. I see you bought company." He nods his head towards Bruce.

"Yeah, I hope you don't mind mate."

"No. Why would I? Plenty of space." Bruce chuckles as Justin refers to his place.

 o.O.o.o.O.o

"I can't believe I am actually going to a Justin Bieber gig." I see Bruce roll his eyes and I nudge him in the rib. It is obvious that Justin isn't offended as he lets out a chuckle.

"Feel blessed. There are millions of people who would die to be in your place right now."

"Yeah, girls."

"There are boy Beliebers!" I defend Justin.

"Whatever you say."

An hour later I am at the front of the crowd singing along to every song Justin is singing to. He is just so perfect on stage and just so... Beautiful. His voice is amazing and he is so interactive with his fans. I watch him as he finishes the current song.

"Me plus you
Me plus you
Me plus you
One time
One time."

The crowd cheers loudly and enthusiastically; including me. Minutes later he sits down and speaks,

"Okay guys, I'm sorry to say this but it's the last song," everyone groans, "but I have one last song for you guys, sing along okay?" Everyone cheers just as the intro starts.

"Everybody's laughing in my mind
Rumours spreading 'bout this other guy
Do you do what you did when you
Did with me?
Does he love you the way I can?
Did you forget all the plans
That you made with me?
'cause baby I didn't," he looks directly at me as he sings, his eyes shining with some emotion I can't quite decipher,

"That should be me
Holdin' your hand
That should be me
Makin' you laugh
That should be me
This is so sad
That should be me
That should be me
That should be me
Feelin' your kiss
That should be me
Buyin' you gifts
This is so wrong,
I can't go on,
Till you believe that
That should be me

That should be me", He looks away as he carries on singing,

"You said you needed a little time
For my mistakes
It's funny how you use that time
To have me replaced
But did you think that I wouldn't see you out at the movies
What you doin' to me
You're takin' him where we used to go
Now if you're tryin' to break my heart
It's working 'cause you know that

That should be me
Holdin' your hand
That should be me
Makin' you laugh
That should be me
This is so sad
That should be me
That should be me
That should be me
Feelin' your kiss
That should be me
Buyin' you gifts
This is so wrong,
I can't go on,
Till you believe that
That should be me", I turn back to see Bruce looking down at me with a loving smile. He kisses my forehead. I turn back to Justin only see him staring directly at me, but once he realises that I am looking, he looks away,

"I need to know, should I fight for love or disarm
It's getting harder to shield
This pain in my heart

That should be me
Holdin' your hand
That should be me
Makin' you laugh
That should be me
This is so sad
That should be me
That should be me

That should be me
Feelin' your kiss
That should be me
Buyin' you gifts
This is so wrong,
I can't go on,
Till you believe that
That should be me

Holding your hand
That should be me
The one making you laugh, oh baby
That should be me
That should be me giving you flowers
That should be me
Talking for hours
That should be me,
That should be me
That should be me

Never should've let you go
I never should've let you go
That should be me
Never should've let you go
That should be me
Never should've let you go
I never should've let you go
That should be me."

He bows before blowing kisses and leaves the stage via the floor exit.He waves just as he disappears. Everyone around me cheers and some cry as he leaves, whereas I stay frozen to the ground. I feel tears starting to form.

Why do I have a feeling that he meant every word he just sung and why do I have a gut feeling that it was directed towards me?

GUYS PLEASE CHECK OUT MY NEW STORY ON MY JOINT ACCOUNT: @PopcornCookie007. It is called Hide And Seek and this is the blurb:

Hide and seek.

A child's game. A game of entertainment. A game where the seeker counts and the hiders hide in cupboards and small spaces. A game where all the hiders shush each other so that the seeker can't find them. But the seeker always finds them. The seeker has to find them or else the game isn't over. Whoever the seeker finds first must swap places with them. Hide and seek. A game of pastime. A game of fun. A child's play. But I am 18 years old and I still play, but there is a slight twist to my version. I am the seeker and I'm out seeking revenge upon the hider; my mother's murderer.

When Reece Azizi comes home one ordinary day he finds his mother dead in their own home, he swears to his mother's soul that he week avenge her death. "I will make them pay. I promise you mom." He searches every space, every corner, every nook and cranny yet still finds nothing. Murder after murder happens but the hider leaves no clue as to where he is or who he is; nothing except a tattoo. However there is one other thing that links the bloodbath together; Reece.

18 seekers and one hider. 18 deaths and one murderer.

Welcome to a game where there are no rules. A game where you are free to do as you please. A game where once involved you can never back out and must pay the consequences if you lose. A game where revenge is the prize. A game where not egos, but lives are lost. It's no longer an innocent child's play but a mass-murder mystery. Join in if you think you think you can survive. The more seekers the easier the job.

Welcome to a game where there are no life guarantees.

Welcome to Reece's game of Hide&Seek. "
