Chapter 8 *Next day* The next day I finally decided to do some sightseeing and shopping on my own. I drove my van to the nearest car shop and bought a red Mercedes Benz instead. I�d saved some money from when I was working when I was younger, so money weren�t a big deal right now. Plus the car was rather cheap - cheaper than I had expected, anyway. I drove to the mall and did some shopping, as I needed new clothes plus food. As I was looking through clothes in Tiffany�s, someone touched my shoulder and I spun around, only to find Britney there, smiling at me. �Hey. How are ya?� She asked, with a smile. �I�m good, Britney, thanks for asking. But Justin isn�t so good.� I said. Britney stopped smiling and sighed. �You really hurt him, you know that, right?� I asked. �I know, but� I mean, like the only reason we were together was because of our parents, not because we wanted to.� Britney said. �But you slept with him?� I said. �Yeah, 3-4 times. And he�s a lousy lover!� Britney said. �So that�s why you decided to go elsewhere?� I asked. �Umm� well, I kinda hoped after I met you that you and Justin would end up together and I wouldn�t have to feel guilty.� Britney said. �But that didn�t happen.� I said. �No. Look, I know I hurt Justin and I�m really sorry, �cause I didn�t meant to hurt him. He�s a really great guy. I love Justin, but only as a friend.� Britney said. �Yeah, I know. I just hate to see him all miserable.� I said and sighed. �Me too. Maybe we could hook him up with someone?� Britney suggested. I smiled. �Great idea, I like how you think, girl. But who?� I said. Britney sighed. �I dunno.� She said. �Wait! I got it! Nick Carter, my neighbor, has a little sister who�s crazy about Justin!� I said and smiled. �Great. How old is she?� Britney asked. �Around my age, 21.� I said. �Okay, cool. We gotta come up with a plan to hook �em up then.� Britney said. �I know. How would you like to come over to my place tonight and we�ll plan it?� I asked. Britney smiled. �That�d be great. What time?� She asked. �Around 8. How does that sound?� I asked. �Great, I�ll be there!� She smiled. I smiled too. �Cool. Ya remember the way?� I asked. Britney softly laughed. �Yep, sure do. No worries. Later, chica.� She said as she waved and walked out of Tiffany�s. *4 weeks later* Britney and I had paired Justin and BJ up, but it seemed as if Justin wasn�t truly happy. I decided to talk to Justin about it, as he was coming over to watch some videos later that day. Britney and I were by now great friends and she was really cool to hang out with. All the crap they wrote about her in magazines were lies; she was truly a sweetheart and a great friend too. Ashley and I were still dating and it was becoming more and more serious after each date. We hadn�t slept together yet, but I knew it wouldn�t take long, as we went further each time we were together. Nick, BJ�s big brother, was also a great friend of mine, even though he was often in Orlando to visit friends. BJ and I were also really great friends too, but my best friend was Justin. We just had this really great relationship where we could talk about anything and everything. When Justin came over, I greeted him as I usually did, with a hug and a kiss. This time, though, he didn�t let go as quickly as usual. �Anything wrong, sweetie?� I asked, as we sat down on a couch in the living room. Justin sighed. �Yes, there is. Umm, how do I say this� I�m gonna break up with BJ.� He said. �What? Why?!� I asked. �Because I can�t do this anymore! I can�t be with BJ and pretend to be madly in love with her and at the same time wanting someone else so bad.� Justin said and looked sad. �Aaawz, you got another crush, J? That�s cool! Maybe she feels the same way about you.� I said and smiled. �I doubt it.� Justin replied. �But if you haven�t told her, how�d you know?� I asked. �Because she�s already seeing someone.� Justin said. �Oh. That�s not good, J.� I said, as I took his hands. �No kidding.� Justin said with a sigh, as he squeezed my hands. �But how do you think BJ will react when you tell her?� I asked. �Who knows? I think she�ll hate me, �cause she has this huge dream about her and me getting married and having children and all that stuff. But, I mean, we�ve only been dating for 4 weeks!� Justin said. �Sometimes you�ll know in a heartbeat who you�re destined to be together with. But in this case, BJ feels that way and you don�t.� I said. �I know. And besides, I think I�ve already found my soul mate. But I don�t think she feels that way about me.� Justin said. �Then you gotta find out, sweetie.� I said. Justin sighed. �Yeah� later. Let�s just watch movies, okay?� He said. I smiled. �Anything you say.� I replied and turned on the TV. Story Index Next Chapter |
