Hailey's POV:
I just got back to my apartment.
I was at a photoshoot all day.
Exhausted and Starving.
I changed into a pair of Justin's sweats and one of his hoodies.
They smelled like him.
I had picked up Chinese takeout on the way home, and started to chow down.
I knew he'd be about done preforming soon.
I snapped a quick picture of my feet to send to him, and captioned it:
Wool Socks
Because I know they're your kryptonite
I giggled, imagining the face he'd make when he got the message.
I'd had my phone on silent right after Justin and I had finished our round of QuizUp earlier.
When your on a shoot, you can't have any distractions.
I was about to check my messages, but I knew he'd be calling soon.
It's 5:30pm here in NYC, so if my maths correct, it was 11:30pm in Paris.
Justin should be backstage by now,probably getting changed.
He would want to facetime or go another round on QuizUp.
I wasn't looking forward to playing him in the hockey category.
I'd lose for sure.
While I waited for his call,I started packing for tomorrow.
I was flying out to see him.
I couldn't wait.
After packing my bag, I looked at the clock.
6:30pm
Why hadn't he called yet?
I realized I had left my phone on the kitchen counter.
Right then,I heard it ringing.
Finally!
I was gonna give him shit about not calling me sooner.
I grabbed it and answered the call before even looking at the number.
"Justin took you long enough", I said.

"Hails it's me Kenny. Listen I just pulled up to your place, I have to park."

"Kendall, oh sorry. Justin's supposed to be calling. And why are you here? Not that I don't love you,but I wasn't expecting you."

"Hails I've got to talk to you.
Unlock your door for me, I'll be up in less than 5."

"Okkkk but your freaking my out!
Are you ok?
I'm gonna check Twitter right now and find out the scoop before you make it up here."
I was teasing her.
We all knew that anything that happened in our lives would make it to social media instantly.
"NOOOOOO, Hailey listen to me!
Do not go on Twitter!
Hailey I'm fucking serious.
I'm coming now..."
She was still talking as I opened Twitter up.
The first thing on my timeline was a story about Justin.
As I read the caption, my body went cold.
BREAKING NEWS
Justin Bieber collapsed on stage.
Witnesses say he stopped breathing and CPR was performed on stage.
Justin was taken by helicopter to the nearest trauma hospital.
Justin's team hasn't been reached for a comment yet.
This has to be a joke.
I had been texting with him right before the show.
This was disgusting, whoever posted this.
I clicked on the attached pictures.
"Kenny...why is Justin bleeding on stage?
KENNY. KENNY. OMG...what happened?"
My body slid to the floor as I just kept staring at his lifeless form.
He was bleeding from his head.
People were all around him.
It looked like he was dead.
I'm going to be sick.
Nothing made sense.
I didn't even realize that Kendall had come through the door, until she took my phone from me.
