Ariana's POV

"Justin, let's take a selfie." I said, still shaken up.

Justin comes into frame. I took the picture. I rubbed my stomach, looking at Justin.

"Let's order some food." Justin looks at my stomach. Justin called room service.

"Shouldn't we tell our parents?" My voice croaked.

"Yeah... we should. They're gonna find out anyway. And their reaction will not be pretty." Justin says.

"We should just leave right after we eat. I don't think it's safe for me to be here now since everybody does drugs here." I said.

"Yeah... maybe next year if our lives aren't busy." Justin says. "Trust me, I'll be here with you, okay? I'll help out and be a good-

"Room service." There was a knock on the door.

We let her in. She brought our foods and told us to enjoy. I started eating.

——

Justin and I nervously held hands. We walked in the house. My parents were glaring at us.

"We knew it." Mom walks over to us, looking at our held hands.

"I'm sorry." I frowned. "We love each other."

"I've known this since the night I found you two in the same bed." Mom said.

"Break up with him, now!" Dad yells at me.

"No-

I felt an impact on my cheek. I stumble back, Justin holding onto me.

"Edward-

"You can't do that to me!" I yelled at my dad.

"I found you two last night. Having sex. I don't want you being sexually active at this age!" Dad yelled at me.

"I'm 18! I can do whatever I want." I said.

"How did you know?"

"Someone sent me an anonymous footage of you guys doing it." Dad said.

My heart dropped.

Someone sent me an anonymous footage of you guys doing it.

I noticed a blonde looking at us from time to time. Her face was all bruised up. Why was she looking at us?

"You. Don't. Fucking. Touch. Him. Whore." I punched her every time I said something.

Fucking Hailey did it.

I looked at Justin. His jaw was clenched. He was angry.

"Why don't you let us be together and be happy?!" I yelled at dad.

"-because we always treated you guys as siblings. And we can't have you guys be together cause of that." Jeremy walked in.

My heart dropped.

"AND, you guys won't allow us to date because of that? Bullshit!" Justin yelled at his dad.

"You can't break us up now." I said. I looked at him. Justin nods.

"What?" Pattie says.

"I-I'm pregnant... and it's J-Justin's baby." I said, my eyes watering.

"Of course he fucking got you pregnant!!" Dad yelled, slamming the vase on the table.

I flinched, getting closer to Justin.

"Fuck." Pattie mumbled.

I looked at mom. She seemed calmer. I looked at Jeremy. Calm. Pattie and dad, not calm.

Something's going on between them.

"Tell us what's going on between YOU TWO." I pointed to dad and Pattie.

"What?" Pattie says awkwardly.

"Mom?" Justin furrowed his eyebrows. "You found out about us. So it's time for you two."

"We're having an affair." Dad blurts.

Mom gasped. Jeremy sighed. I grab Justin's hand, squeezing on it.

"What now? Are we just gonna... all part?" I start crying.

"No. But YOU TWO need to go." Dad points at us.

"I'm not going, not ever." Justin says.

Those words killed me.

"He's not going!" I raised my voice.

"I'm not accepting your relationship." Jeremy spoke up.

"Me neither." Mom says.

"What the fuck!" I yelled.

"Ariana-

"Why can't I be with the person I love?!" I yelled.

"Calm down you little girl." Dad spat, making me flinch.

"Please." My voice croaked.

"No." Jeremy says. "Your dad said no and I said no."

"I'M NOT GOING!!" Justin yells at the top of his lungs. "I LOVE HER!" He screamed.

"That's it. You're going to a disciplinary place." Pattie yelled.

"WHAT?!" We both yelled.

"You can't do that." I walked over to Pattie.

"I can. And I am sending him. He never listens! You never listen!" Pattie says.

I was about to slap her when dad held me back. I start crying more. "I love him. You guys can't break that."

"I-I'm not going." Justin says.

He's fighting back tears. I run over to Justin, hugging him.

"You're going. We're serious." Jeremy said.

"When am I leaving?" Justin asked calmly.

My heart shattered.

Pattie and Jeremy looked at each other. "Tomorrow."

I mentally dropped to my knees.

"How long will I stay?" Justin questioned.

"A month."

I squeeze on Justin's hand. "What's the place called?" I asked.

Pattie and Jeremy looked at each other. They shrugged and came to an agreement.

"The Lessare." Pattie says.

"Tomorrow morning will be the last day you guys see each other before you go bye bye. No contacting or anything. Hopefully this splits you guys up. No cell phones tonight either." Dad says.

I tried giving Justin a kiss before he left but mom pulled me away. Once they left, I ran up to my room, bawling my eyes out. My parents tried coming in, but my door was locked. All you can hear is sobs. Just sobs. That's all you can hear.

It's not fair. Why would you send someone away because they're in love?
