Chapter 37
           Part 2
Justin had been feeling a little uneasy after he got a call from Lonnie about Amelia's encounter with a very rude and disrespectable fan. He felt furious and nervous at the same time. He felt that she should have let Lonnie handle it from the beginning instead of taking it on herself. He knew she was probably feeling like crap after this so, he put vanilla scented candles around the room to calm her a bit. Hearing the front door open, he was prepared and alerted. Amelia entered the room and stopped when she realize that candles were around the room.

"J, why is there vanilla candles surrounding the room?," she asked, putting down her purse.

"There here to ease your nerves," pointing out he knew something.

"I'm fine, baby. There is nothing bothering me," said Amelia, not making direct contact with Justin as she made her way to the bathroom. Grabbing her arm, Justin made her look at him. They shared a knowingly look.

"Melia, don't lie to me. You know I hate liars and in this relationship we promised not to lie to eachother,"said Justin, making her face the truth. She stared into his eyes for what seemed like an internity and broke down in tears. Pulling her into his arms, he tried comforting her, but she would pull away from him.

"NO. Justin don't try and hug me ok. I don't want to be held," angerily said Amelia, running her hands through her hair. Amelia's behavior shocked Justin. She had never pulled away from him like this and he didn't like it.

"Why don't you want me to hold you? and please tell me what happened," begged Justin.

"I just don't want comfort alright! Why should I tell you what happened? You probably already know from Lonnie," said Amelia, her voice rising with every sentence.

"I actually don't know everything. All Lonnie told me was there was a confrontation with you and a fan and some horrible things were said, leaving you kinda on the edge," said Justin.

"What have I ever done to deserve such pain? I just don't get it. All I ever did was fall in love with you," cried Amelia, plopping down in the nearest couch," I don't belong with you. She was right, you deserve a white woman, not me and I'm not pretty enough. I was never pretty enough even when I hung out with Mya. All the guys drool over her body and I guess I was lucky for a while to have you, but I don't deserve it."

"Thats nonsense Amelia. You are a beautiful girl and I love you for you not your beauty. Thats just a plus added to the personality. Who ever this girl was, forget about her and the words she said to you. Those are fans that I  don't need or want," said Justin, inching closer to Amelia. Amelia just couldn't ignore the things said and she knew it. She was supposed to be happy on her get away and she wasn't anymore. She felt like a baby, crying in front of Justin everytime something bad happened.

"No, its not Justin. She told me about an interview BOP did with Mya and my family. They told things to the world that didn't need to be said. I'm so torn apart and confused," said Amelia, brushing away the unwanted tears.

"When did all this happen? I wasn't informed of this," curiously asked Justin.

"I don't know, but I'm ruining you. I'm going to ruin your career and you're going to blame me for it," sorrowly she said.

"Baby, you are not ruining my career. I possibly might lose fans, but also gain some back because of you. It doesn't change the way I feel about you," pasionately spoke Justin.

"It's over between us," whispered Amelia, Justin's eyes looked like it was about to pop out of his eyes when he heard those words. He wanted to make sure he heard right so, he asked her to repeat what she last said.

"I said it's over between us. I can't go on like this forever. The fans, press and the alienation of my family. I....I just can't. I love you so much, but, god," sighed Amelia.

"Bull shit! Whats going on between us? It was working out fine before this encounter with this....this girl," spat Justin.

"It just made me realize things, ok," said Amelia, not knowing what to say anymore. As Justin started to approach her, she would move farther away from him.

"Don't be like this. Lets talk more about our situaton. I have never ever thought about giving up on us, but you are. Why?," softly spoke Justin. Opening her mouth to say something, nothing came out. She felt like eveything was closing in on her and she couldn't stop it. Looking everywhere besides Justin's eyes, she spotted the closet escape, the bathroom. Rushing straight into the bathroom, she could hear Justin's pleads to come out and talk.

After 5 mintutes of banging and talking to a door, Justin gave up and slide dwon beside the bathrrom door. Running his hands through his hair, he wished that tomorrow morning would bring hope of him getting through to her.
