"Charlie?" The surprised voice calling my name makes me stop in my spot. I was just about to pick up a packet of caramel popcorn, my hands already struggling to hold the three bars of chocolate, pack of jellies, bottle of diet pepsi along with my money and phone. Justin's walking towards looking a little confused as I make some sort of gesture to say hi my eyes widening in acknowledgement of him.

"Hi." I smile leaning down and grasping the popcorn between my fingers before walking peacefully to the checkout of the small store which was part of the hotel. The woman wordlessly scanned everything but I couldn't help but stifle a small laugh as she kept staring at Justin a little wide eyed. I handed $30 to the woman and picked everything up hoping she picked up on my idea of her keeping the change.

"Here let me help." Justin offers taking a few things from me.

I don't try to argue, I can't be bothered and there probably is too much for me to carry on my own anyway. "I thought you went with Alex." His words come out as a statement but I'm pretty sure he meant for it to be a question. I sigh quietly to myself and lick my lips, trying not to snap. I really want to forget about alex right now.

"I did." Is all I say before rolling my eyes at the memory of him all possessive and...slightly scary. I'm just in a bad mood, okay?

"Are you okay?" The concern in his voice makes my heart swell a little and I can't help the small smile that apears on my face whilst I shrug quietly nibbling on my bottom lip. I can never say he doesnt care, even when I treated him like shit and kicked him out of my apartment he still cared. The only time it's ever really made me wonder if he cared was...that night. I snort internall rolling my eyes at myself. He literally just asked me if I was okay, it was not that deep.

"Yeah, just sick of assholes." I shrug forcing a small laugh at the end of my words. Justin's eye's fixate on the floor as we stroll slowly through the hotel lobby. Oh... I didn't mean... "I was just going up to watch a movie in my room. I need a little break from things but I might come back down later." I explain attempting to stop the awkward tension building up between us. My head nods down towards my arms, motioning to the packets in mine and Justin's hands whilst forcing a small giggle.

"Well, come up to my room?" Justin asks but it's more of a statement as he reaches out to press the button for the elevator. "I'm only gonna be alone anyway so it makes sense." He shrugs as I hum to myself.

"Why are you leaving so early?" I ask my eyebrows furrowed together and Justin smiles sheepishly his cheeks turning a light pink.

"I don't really know anybody." He admits sheepishly and my eyes instantly soften when I'm looking at him. I've been in his position and it sucks, Lola should've at least invited Za or somebody he was here with as a plus one.

"That's shit." I reply pressing the button for the elevator and waiting patiently for it to arrive.

"It is." Justin agreed nodding his head as the elevator doors dinged and opened. Justin steps in, me following as he presses the number 12.

"Oh I'm on floor 11." I mumble chewing on my lower lip.

"Yeah but you're gonna and eat all of this food with me." Justin shrugs smirking at me and I can't even disagree with him, it's not like it's any different to what I would've been doing anyway.

"Okay, that sounds good actually." I murmer, biting down on my lip then I smile lightly because there's nothing more to say.

Well, there's a lot to say, too much to say; so I'd rather just not say anything. For now at least. The elevator doors open with a small 'ding' and I step out only for Justin to catch my arm pulling me down the hall in the opposite direction.
