¨Ok. I love you too. Bye¨ I said and hung up after Justin and I said goodbye. He was back on tour with the guys and I was back doing my own thing. We didn't get to see each other too much but it was better than nothing. Since I woke up today I had this weird felling in the pit of my stomach. I don't know why but I feel like something's wrong.
It was 5:00 in the afternoon and I just finished my rehearsal's I was drinking my water when Johnny walked up to me. I sensed something was wrong right away cause he looked worried.
¨Britney?¨
¨Hey Johnny, what's up?¨
¨I need to talk to you. It's very important¨ he said with a serious look on his face.
¨Ok¨
¨Brit it's about your mom¨
¨What about her?¨
¨How can I tell you this?¨
¨Tell me what?¨
¨She died¨ he said calmly.
¨WHAT!!!¨
¨She got hit by a car. There was nothing that the doctors could do. I'm so sorry honey!¨
¨No! She can't be dead!¨ I got up and started walking really fast but Johnny grabbed me by the arm.
¨Britney listen, I know this hard for you but you have to accept the fact that she's gone and she's not coming back¨ he whispered while he hugged me. Gone?. To me it was like he was speaking a different language. How could she be gone?
After a few minutes Jc walked in and asked ¨What's going on?¨ to Johnny and he Told ¨call Justin.¨ to Jc. Jc pulled out his cell phone and dialed Justin's number. After a few rings I heard Justin's Voice.
¨Hello¨ said Justin
¨Hey, J it's me¨
¨Hey, Jace what's up?¨
¨Hold on, J¨
Jc gave his cell to Johnny, who explained the whole story to Justin.
¨Can I speak with her?¨ asked Justin
¨Hold on¨ Johnny turned to me. I was sitting next to Jc who had his arms Wrapped around me.
¨Brit, it's Justin. Do you wanna talk to him¨
¨Yeah¨ I said, my voice breaking.
¨Hello?¨
¨Hi baby, how are you?¨ asked Justin sweetly.
¨J, I need you¨ By now tears were pouring down my face.
¨Baby, I'm on my way to the airport, ok¨
¨Ok¨
¨I'll be there as soon as I can¨
Two hours later Justin arrived at my hotel. He knocked on the door a couple of times and after a few minutes I opened the door. I looked awful. I had bags under me eyes, my hair was a mess and I looked like I hadn't slept in days.
¨Oh, come here girl¨ he said while he opened his arms for me to walk in.
¨Justin!!¨ I cried and buried my face in the side of his neck.
¨Come babe, let's go inside¨
He led me to the bed and sat me down on the edge. At this point I was crying my eyes out. I knew Justin was hurt too. He loved my mom. After about three hours I finally fell sleep. Even though I was sleeping I could hear Justin's voice. He was sitting in a chair. He took his cell and dialed his mother's number. After a few rings she picked up.
¨Hello¨
¨Hi, mom¨
¨Hi sweetie, how are you?¨
¨Something bad happened¨
¨What's wrong?¨
¨Mom, Lynne's dead¨
¨Oh, my god, how's Britney?¨
¨She's devastated, and I feel awful because there's nothing I can do to help her¨
¨I can only imagine what she's going through¨
¨Maybe she needs to get away for a little while. Why don't you bring her to Memphis for a couple of weeks?¨ asked Lynn.
¨Yeah, that's a good idea¨ After he hung up he turned to face me. By now I was wide awake and staring at the ceiling. He slowly walked to the bed and sat down next to me. He gently caressed my face. I turned to him and stared at him for a little while.
¨Hi¨ I said softly. My voice was so sore from crying that I could hardly speak.
¨Did you sleep good¨
¨Aha¨ I replied.
¨Do you want anything to eat?¨
¨No, I'm not hungry¨
¨C'mon baby, you have to eat¨
¨I don't want to!¨ ¨I'm sorry¨ I said crying.
¨I just don't know how to handle all of this. I keep saying to myself that everything is gonna be ok but I still can't get used to the fact that from now on she wont be a part of my life anymore¨
Justin didn't say anything he just wrapped his arms around me. After couple of hours Justin was still comforting me. I had stopped crying by now. I really don't know what I would have done without him. The next day I noticed that Justin was a little distant.
¨J, what's wrong?¨
¨Nothing's wrong¨
¨J, don't lie to me¨ ¨What's wrong?¨
¨I have to go back on tour¨
¨And?¨
¨And I don't want to leave you¨
¨J, I'll be fine¨
¨But I won't feel good knowing that you're here all alone¨
¨J¨
¨I talked to Johnny, and he said he was gonna cut the tour short¨
¨Justin....¨ I was about to say something but I was cut off by Justin.
¨Brit, how about we go to Memphis for a while?¨
¨Umm...¨
¨My tour will be over soon and I already talked to my mother. She said she'd like us to go, and it'll be good for you.¨
¨Yeah, maybe it's a good idea¨
¨I really won't feel good leaving you here. How about you come on tour with me?¨
¨I don't think that's such a good idea¨ I said sitting on the bed
¨Why not?¨
¨Well, what would your fans and Johnny say about me going on tour with you?¨
¨Johnny knows you're going trough a hard time. He'll understand and I don't care what my fans may think. They should already know that you're my main priority¨
¨Ok. I'll go with you¨
One week later Justin was still on tour and I was still with him. Today
was the last show of their ¨celebrity¨ tour and Justin was gonna take me to Memphis for a while as soon as the concert was finished. The tour was gonna end earlier than planned because of what happened to my mom. They guys weren't really upset because they were really tired and they wanted to see their families.
