| * 2 weeks later* The last two weeks everyone had been practicing really hard on their dance routines. Luckily, my bruise went away without anyone else noticing it. Finally the night had come for the first concert of the tour. First song was up, 'Bye-Bye-Bye' that switched in to gone. I couldn't believe how many fans their actually were! After the concert we all had planned on going to the after party. We all went to the hotel rooms the change. Half an hour later I came out in a shimmering red knee -- length dress, black heels and my locket, which my mother had given me many years ago. I wore some of my hair up in miniature ponytails at the front, I let the rest of my hair hang down in its natural blonde curls. I dabbed on a little bit of make-up and then headed out to find Mikaela. I soon found her in black leather pants, white tube top and black boots. She had cornrows with some glitter in her hair. We both walked into the lounge to find that everyone was waiting for us. I left Mikaela to chat with JC. All of the guys were in tuxedos. I was amazed at how well they could clean up. I smiled at all of them as they blew whistles my way. "Oh act your age!" I laughed playfully. We went to the after party and it was going really well. Until I saw the horrible expression on Justin's face. looked in the direction at which Justin was starring at, and I saw Britney Spears sitting at a table chatting with many other people. I decided to walk past Britney and I heard her say, "Yes, Justin and Brandy are still madly in love." I guess the public hasn't found out about their breakup, I thought to myself. I walked up to Justin and offered a weak smile. "Hey..." I said not really sure if I should have had said anything at all. "What's Britney doing here?" Justin asked angrily. "Jay, IM really sorry." I replied seeing the hurt in his eyes. Just then, Britney walked up to the two of us, "Justin." Britney said as she gave me a dirty look. "Can we talk....alone?" She said giving me another dirty look. "Sure." Justin answered a little speechless. I couldn't believe how easily Britney wraps Justin around her finger, and I hated the way he allowed it. However the last couple of weeks, I had been getting a lot closer to Justin. We never did talk about the kiss, sometimes I catch myself wondering what would have happened if we ever did talk about our first and probably our last kiss. I looked at how Justin was gawking at her every word, every movement and I realized that I'd never get a chance. No matter how much Britney broke Justin's heart, he would always love her. I felt a mixture of anger and jealousy and decided that I couldn't take any more of it. *Justin* "Britney...what do you want? I gave all your stuff back, what did I forget?" Justin asked feeling the tears that he'd been holding back. "No, Jay baby, I made a mistake, I want you back." Britney replied giving her puppy face. "Really?" Justin asked like a sap. "Really..." Britney said as she leaned in towards Justin and kissed him. Justin never hesitated, never refuse, but just did the same in return. *Holly* I turned around with a little glimmer of hope that Justin would have had enough of Britney's bullshit but I turned around to see Justin and Britney lip locking, which nearly broke my heart in two. I stormed away and caught a cab to my hotel room. I walked into my hotel room and decided to take a relaxing bubble bath. As I got out I wrapped a towel around my waist as I started to fix my hair. "Holly?" Someone asked turning on my bathroom light, I turned around in shock and saw Justin starring straight at my chest. "Get out!" I screamed as I covered myself. He ran out of the bathroom in embarrassment. I couldn't believe what just happened, but out of all the shock I smiled to myself at the look on Justin's face. The toughest part was going to be walking out of my bathroom to see a very embarrassed Justin and know that I'd have to talk to him. |
