Justin hesitates and looks into the distance ahead of us.
Me: Babe..
I put my hand on his
Me: You can tell me, it's okay
Justin:..I've never told this to anyone before..well to be honest I've never felt the need to.
He sighs
Him: Yknow how I live on my own? Well there's a reason...3 years ago I used to live with my mom, dad and lil sis...
Me: Awh you didn't tell me you had a little sister
Justin pauses
Me:..It's okay babe..go on I'm here for you..
Him: We were really close and did everything together..they could sing too
He smirks when he remembers a memory
Him: Well my sis tried but she wasn't the best. I remember one time we were on a road trip and all of us were singing at the top of our lungs to 'Livin' on a prayer'. It was our family song, we used to sing it at every party we went to and stuff..anyway um
His smile fades
Justin:..Yeah we were singing along and then..um..
He sighs and a tear rolls down his cheek, I wipe it gently.
Me: If it's too hard for you you don't have to say
Justin: N-no..I-I want you to know...um this truck..just seemed to come out of nowhere. My dad had to swerve but it wasn't enough..an uh
His voice starts to break
Justin-sniffs-: Uh the truck..caught the back of our car and threw us off the road..the car uh..
I gently stroke his hand with my thumb
Justin: The car..rolled down a cliff...and it's kinda hazy..I just remember my legs being in a lot of pain. I opened my eyes and I saw um..
Justin breaks down into tears
Him: I saw -he cries- my little sister an my mom and dad lifeless in their seats....-cries-
I tried so hard to get them out..but I-I couldn't, I couldn't move....it felt like were stuck there for hours...but uh apparently..it was only something like 5 minutes until the emergency services came...they uh..they cut us out of the car -cries hard- and they took my family away from me...and um..that was the last time I saw them...
Justin pauses for a few seconds because he's choked up with tears
Justin:..At uh..at the funeral...I sang our song, but not in the same way...because I knew it wasn't the same without them..and my life would never be the same again. After the funeral I made a promise to myself that I would never ever sing again.
He cries hard again, I hug him tight and he hugs me back like never wants to let me go.
Me-softly-: Shh...it's okay baby..let it out
I kiss the side of his head and put my fingers through his hair softly as a tear rolls down my cheek. I've never seen this side of him before, I've never seen him this vulnerable.
Justin: How is it fair babe?! All I get is two broken legs but they had to die! Why? Why couldn't it have been me who died instead of Katie. She was only 5! 5 years old babe! Or why did it have to happen at all! Like if I still had my family and I wouldn't be a f***ing jerk to everyone
Me: Shh...don't say that babe, I'm so happy you're still here and I don't know baby. Life's f***ed up sometimes, and things happen that we wish we knew why.
A few minutes later we break from the hug, he puts his and on my cheek
Justin: I love you so much, you're gods gift to me. He may have taken my family but he's given me the best gift I could ever hope for in return.
I smile wide as another tear falls, Justin wipes it.
Me: Awwh Justin, baby you're so sweet. I'll never ever try to replace what you've lost but I promise to love you with all my heart. I love you so much too.
He kisses me passionately
Justin: I am so sorry for how I treated you when we met, I'm such a d**k. I wish I was a better person I-
Me: You don't need to apologise, you're perfect okay. Even with all your flaws, they make you who you are and I would never want you to change. I love everything about you, from the inside out. You've changed my life for the better and I can't explain to you how much that means to me...how much you mean to me.
Justin: Promise me something?
Me: Anything
Justin: Never leave me
Me: I promise. Thank you for telling me about..yknow your past
Justin nods
Him: You're welcome...I'm sorry I've been off with you lately, it's just been on my mind
Me: It's okay, now you've told me I totally understand. Never be scared or worried to tell me anything okay, I'm always going to be here no matter what.
Justin: I love you
Me: I love you too
We kiss softly. He puts his arm around my waist, I rest my head on his shoulder, he rests his head on my head And we gaze into the distance.
