The doorbell echoed throughout the house noisily and justin made a dash for the front door. Without bothering to look through the peephole on the heavy iron door, he swung it open with all his might. His teeth quickly hid behind his chapped lips with one look at the girl standing in the doorway with her hand grasping that of his best friend.

"What up, brotha," Jc stated more than asked as he pulled the blonde through the doorway without a second look at the owner. Justin could almost hear his hope being sucked down the drain into oblivion with a loud roar. He felt a hand on his shoulder and glanced quickly down at Britney, the only person in the world who had some understanding of what was running through his mind.

"Who was that?" she asked timidly, knowing the answer.

"Jc's new girlfriend." Justin bit his tongue from going off on a rampage. He hadn't had a conversation with the girl, but by association, she was satan.

"I'm sorry, sweetie."

Jjustin felt her hand drag in circles on his back and slammed the iron door with a bang, shaking the pictures on the walls and the lights on the tables.

Jc didn't look up.
