�No�I can�t do this.� She said as she took a few steps back.

�What?�

�I can�t go through with this.�

�What are you talking about?�

�Justin�do you know how much I wanted to hear those words from you? To hear that you needed me as much as I needed you. I was so happy that you said that but when Ashley cam in and kissed you, all of the pain I felt from the night I left you came back to me.� she said as the tears started to fill her eyes.

�Brit, I don�t know what you�re talking about.� He said as he got up and walked towards her. But each step he took, she would take one back.

�You honestly don�t remember what happened that night do you?� she asked as a tear rolled down her cheek. He shook his head.

�All I know is that I came into our hotel room, you were throwing your clothes in a suitcase and when I asked you what was wrong, your threw a hairdryer at me.�

�Thing about what you did before that.�

-Flashback-

Britney was coming back to the hotel after 8 hours of dance rehearsal.

�At least I�ll have Justin with me tonight.� She thought to herself as she walked into the lobby. When she walked in, she couldn�t believe what she saw.

Justin with another girl.

Britney hid behind one of the fake trees and watched the two.

�How could he do this to me?�

Just then, she watched in horror as he leaned down to kiss her, or so she thought. At that moment, her heart stopped. She waited as him and the girl parted and looked on as he walked into the elevator.

After a minute, she started up to her room. Surprisingly he wasn�t there when she got into the room. She grabbed two suitcases and began to throw her clothes into them. Just then, Justin walked into the room.

�Where are you going?� he asked as he took her arm. He turned her around to face him. Her face was wet from her tears. She pushed his arm away and headed to the bathroom.

�I don�t want to hear it J. I have to get out of here!�

�Brit I don�t understand, what did I�� but before he could finish, he fell back from the force of the hairdryer she just threw at him.

�What the�Why are you doing this?� he asked once he recovered from the blow. Still sitting on the floor, he looked up at her and saw her with the two suitcases in hand.

�Bye J.�

-end of flashback-

Justin was lost of words.

�Brit, that wasn�t what you think it was.� He said as he walked to her. But like before, she just stepped back.

�Then do care to explain it to me.� she said as she crossed her arms.

�That girl you saw me with�I wasn�t cheating on you.�

�Well what the hell were you doing with her? Why did you kiss her?� she asked as her tears started to fall again. She looked down at the ground.

�Britney�� he paused. �I never kissed her.� He lifted up her head with his fingers. He cupped her face with his hands and she couldn�t help but look into his eyes.

�Brit�that girl you saw me with that night, she was just a friend.� She shot her head down unable to control her tears from shedding.

�She was in town that night and I haven�t seen her in a while so we decided to get together, but she means nothing more to me than that.� He said and bent down to get face to face with her.

�You know that I would never hurt you in any way.�

She looked up at him. She looked into his eyes and she knew he was telling the truth. She embraced him in a hug and she linked her arms around his neck.

�Sorry about the hairdryer thing.� She whispered into his ear and slightly giggled.

�Do you forgive me?� she asked as she rested her forehead against his, their lips barely touching.

�There�s nothing for me to forgive you for.� He said as he leaned in for a kiss. But before he could, there was knock on the door.
