Where Are You Now? J.D.B

3- Heartbreak on the Big Screen

Lauren Marie Valentine

Heartbeats- don't you find it interesting? The rhythm, the pulse, the sound, all of it.

Your heartbeat depends on you. Our heartbeats differ. But it's funny.

Different scenarios initiate different heartbeats - and in this scenario- it'd be when I upset Justin Bieber.

Yep, you heard it first!

I do hate him, don't get me wrong.

But maybe he didn't deserve what I said to him.

My heart was racing as the guilt trip began.

Was I too harsh?

Damn it.

Let's rewind a bit to this morning .

------------------
10 A.M

I rolled around in the duvet that I know wasn't mine.

Sitting up, I wrapped it around myself and looked around.

Ryan's house- that's right. I got out of the bed, with the comforter still wrapped around me, and walked towards the door.

I stepped out and walked towards Ryan's room, opening the door, and finding the three of them sprawled out on the floor.

I made my way to the area Ryan was sleeping around , his floor wasn't too uncomfortable.

I laid down next to him and sighed.

"Good morning" Ryan said as he turned onto his back.

"Morning" I smiled.

"Wanna make breakfast with me?" He asked.

"Yeah- let me brush my teeth" I said and got up.

I met Ryan down in the kitchen where he had set out an apron for me.

"Kiss the Cook- classy Ryan" I laughed.

He took out eggs and flour and I assumed we were making pancakes and all that. I began to mix up the ingredients and Ryan poured the batter onto the pan.

I sat down at the island and ate a piece of bacon.

"Hey I thought I was making you pancakes this morning"

I turned around to see Justin.

Shirtless, messy hair, raspy voice.

Any girls dream.

Except for mine.

I rolled my eyes and turned back around.

"I didn't know you two made up." Ryan says.

"That's because we didn't." I respond.

"Make up? For what? We can make out instead if you want." Justin smirks.

Ryan laughs as I roll my eyes and continue eating my bacon.

I check my phone to see a text from my mom.

9 A.M: Where Are You?

I quickly type up a response and hit send.

12 P.M: Sorry, stayed at Ryans. On my way home.

"Alright, I'm gonna head out. See you whenever" I said.

I got up and made my way towards the door.

"Why so early?" Ryan calls out.

"Yeah babe, why?" Justin adds.

"Work." I reply and leave.
