If You Let Me Inside Your World
Chapter 4
I awoke the next morning with groggy eyes. It felt like I only had a short few hours of sleep. I looked over at the nightstand. 7:00 am. It didn’t help that I couldn’t fall asleep until just a few hours ago. Great. But somehow I managed to pull myself out of bed and go start the water for my shower. As I waited for it to heat up, I walked out into the living area to check on my...

Chapter 3
“Uh uh. No, there’s no way our seventeen year old daughter is flying half way across the country by herself, just to chase a dream that will get crushed. She’s not going.” My dad argued as he passed back and forth through the kitchen. “But I wouldn’t be alone! One of you would have to come with, since I’m under 18.” I said in defense. “See Dan, she wouldn’t be alone....

Chapter 2
‘Scooter Braun, Projects-full service entertainment & marketing company.’ That’s what his card read. “I must say, Christina was it? You are very talented.” He complemented. I was still staring down at his business card, shaking myself out of my own concentration, “Oh, thank you!” I said, my cheeks slightly turning pinker. “May I ask how old you are?” I stood there a little...

Chapter 1
It was 7:30am. The annoying buzz of my alarm clock made its way into my dream, causing it to once again wake me up before it could end. I somehow managed to drag myself out from under my covers and make my way down the hall to the bathroom. As the water for my shower heated up, I took a good look at myself in the mirror. I let out a funny face when I inspected the hot mess on top of...

If You Let Me Inside Your World
Chapter 59 It was great having Justin back home again. And I knew he felt the same way. Those next few days, I cherished every touch, every look. And after a few weeks, Justin became busy again, with his Christmas album about to be released. Sure there a few days I never got to see the hazel in his eyes or that cute dimple on the left side of his smile, but it made the day after those, that much...

Chapter 58
The waves were whispering hello to us as we sat on the water’s edge. It was an absolute perfect day. I was finally back in Justin’s soothing arms. We kissed. We touched. We fumbled around in the sand. I was home, back in my baby’s arms. But I knew I would have to face reality soon, and tell him about New York. It was burning in my throat. “Justin, I have to tell you...

Chapter 57
“Blake, leave.” Hailey said. Her voice was stern and controlled, sort of like the calm before a storm. I could only imagine what was going through her head. In her defense, she had every right to be mad. I mean, she did just walk in on me lip locking with the boy she liked. But in my defense, I was just the victim in this sticky love triangle.
“Hailey, I swear I didn’t…” Hailey...

Chapter 56
As much as I was having with Hailey here in New York, all things must come to an end. And sadly the end was too near. We had been so busy filling our day with things; I almost forgot that I had to fly back tomorrow. “What are you going to do without me when you go home?” Hailey asked, helping me start the packing process. “No clue! I’ll be...

Chapter 55 By the time I got back to Hailey’s room last night, she had already fallen asleep. So without waking her up, I changed into a pair of sweats and slipped under the covers, finding myself staring back up at Justin’s ‘Teen Beat’ poster. He never did call me when he landed in Brazil. But he’s probably doing the same thing as me right now, about to fall sleep. This morning, I woke up bright...

Chapter 54 I was walking down the street with a complete stranger. “Where are we going?” I begged. “You’ll see soon enough.” He answered. I let out a loud sigh, hoping it would get him to answer my question. No luck. We picked up the pace a little as we turned down into an alley way. “Is this the part where you admit your criminal past and chop me into pieces?” I asked, sarcasm spilling out of my...

Chapter 53 I hopped off the plane at JFK, and wasted no time getting to the baggage claim. I was more than ready for some Best Friend time with Hailey. I impatiently waited for the buzzer to sound and the carousel to move, slowly bringing out the passenger’s luggage. I watched, bag after bag until mine came around. Just my luck, it was the last one out. With bags in hand, I could finally make my...

Chapter 52 I stood in the middle of the airport, Justin only inches away from my face. I wanted to reach out and place my lips onto his, leave them there, and never have them part. He placed his hand on the back of my head, letting his fingers tangle in my blonde waves. I leaned in closer as I felt his lips leave an impression on my forehead. We were surrounded by hundreds of on-lookers. Some...

Chapter 51 I sat on the opposite side of the couch as Justin as Pattie paced the floors. The room grew with awkward silence, getting worse with each tick and each tock you could here coming from the clock on the wall. I slid my hand down to my wrist and played with the bracelet that I still had on from the hospital. I’ll cut that off later, I reminded myself. “I’m not ‘angry’ about the situation....

Chapter 50
I felt myself slipping in and out of consciousness. Each time my eyes opened, I found myself in a different part of the hospital. The last thing I really remembered, was the mask being placed over my lips, pumping the anesthetic into my lungs, slowly putting my into a deep sleep.
My eyes reopened, but quickly closed unexpectedly when the sun hit them. That was funny, wasn’t...

Chapter 49
“Don’t be scared.” He whispered.
“I’m not” I whispered back “Im more than scared.”
Justin stood there, holding my weak, fragile self until I could stand back on my own two feet. I remembered that I couldn’t have been the only one feelng this way. What was going on in Justin’s head? He was to busy consoling me that he didn’t show an ounce of fear. He was being strong for the...

Chapter 48
I was finally about to stand back up. The pain was still there, but had diluted enough to which it became bare able. I picked myself back up, searching through my vanity for more Tylenol. The first thing that ran through my mind was I was experiencing severe menstrual cramps. But that was strange, see as I wasn’t supposed to get my period for another…
I dropped the pill bottle into...

Chapter 47
I found myself in the airport’s terminal, once again having to say goodbye.
“Are you sure you have to leave so soon! You were hardly here for a week!”
I said as Hailey stood in front of me, holding both of my hands. She quickly let go to catch a tear as it started to roll down her cheek.
“Trust me, I don’t want to! But I’ve already missed a few days...

[Justin’s POV]
“I’ve finished at least 7 songs now!” I explained to Usher, excited to get back to work on this new album.
“It’s this girl isn’t it? She does something you. It’s like she pushes you to be your best.” He told me. “But we got to get you in the studio soon. I’m talking like next week!” Usher continued to say.
My attention drifted from him when I heard a door slam...

Chapter 45
The next morning, I woke up, opening my eyes to see we were still lying on the floor in front of the fire place, with a blanket cover both Justin and I. I could feel Justin’s arms wrapped around my waist, and I closed my eyes again, not wanting to leave from this position.
I started thinking about last night. It was everything I had ever imagined my first time would be like. Justin was...

Chapter 44 By the time we touched down, the sun was just starting to rise in Paris. You could smell the fresh coffee brewing and warm scent of crescents as café’s and bakery’s began to get ready for the early risers. But the streets were still deserted. One thing Justin and I wanted to get out of this trip was to be as normal as we could. So instead of the 5 star resort we’d normally stay at,...

Chapter 43
I stood there, with my umbrella at my side as the rained poured down on me. I starred down at the freshly placed grass and the newly installed headstone. “If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I’d walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.” I closed my eyes as I thought back to the dream I had last night. Before I fell asleep, I got down on my knees and prayed....

Justin’s POV
I sat there, in the corner of the ambulance, staring at my own unconscious body.
Christina laid across from me, very well awake. It took 2 EMT’s to restrain her as she screamed out for me to wake up. I had been flat lined for almost a whole 2 minutes now. My heart wasn’t beating, so why was here, like this? Was I dead? I placed my hand over my chest. I could feel the...

Chapter 41
We spent the rest of the night just talking. And laughing. And smiling. We stayed until the restaurant practically threw us out in order to close for the night. But we weren’t ready to end the night just yet. We drove around town until we finally lost the paparazzi and parked in a dark alley way with all the lights off. I leaned my head against the seat and looked over at Justin,...

Chapter 40
It felt good to hold her in my arms again. To feel her warmth against my chest. To smell the sweet lavender of her hair. How could I have ever let her slip away. Hearing her say those three simple words. Those 8 letters arranged to form such a powerful thing. “I love you” is what she finally whispered into my ear.
One year earlier I sat there on the edge of my bed, with...

Chapter 39
I walked away. I just said goodbye and walked away. I wore a smile on my face and did my best to keep my head held high. But deep down I could feel the pain spread through my body like wildfire. After seeing Justin for the first time in a year, I realized that I really wasn’t ready to say goodbye. So why did I do it? I didn’t really have any 1 single answer. I guess I pictured Justin...

Chapter 38
I sat there, in the middle of my graduating class, looking at the faces that were soon to become my past. The valedictorian was standing up at the podium giving her speech. She told us that nothing would be the same after today. The whole world was ours and that we were capable of anything so long as we put our minds to it. Never say never were her closing words. And with that we...

Chapter 37 Summer went by faster than the blink of an eye. Endless hours of watching clouds go by, countless nights spent roasting marshmallows. There were family picnics and bonfires with friends. A silent look took place under the blistering sun, and kisses were stolen under the stars at night. We didn’t seem to have single care in the world. We were young and in love. “You leave in...

Chapter 36 I rolled over, using my hand to feel my covers, and than my pillow. I rubbed my eyes opened as I sat up. I had no idea how I got into my bed last night, I didn’t even remember falling asleep. I rolled out and onto my feet and made my way over to my dresser, noticing a note taped to my mirror. I unfolded it and noticed Justin’s handwriting. I share your heart with another. Meet me...

Chapter 35 I was driving down the road, all my windows were rolled down and the music was blasting. I was the perfect day for a perfect day. Before I got to Justin’s hotel, I texted him really quick… | Hey, almost here. Don’t forget your swimsuit ;) | I pulled into the parking lot shortly after and drove up to the front door. After a quick call, Justin and Kenny came strolling out. Justin ...

Chapter 34 There are 365 days in a year; 180 days of school, and 94 days of summer. 12 months in a year, 4 weeks in a month, and 7 days in a week. All of these can pass you by in a blink of an eye when you least want them to. But then there’s those times, where time can’t go by fast enough, and now was one of those times. I waited patiently in my car, parked outside the airport. Even...

Chapter 33 When I woke the next morning, Justin’s arms were still tight around me, holding me close to him. After a second I heard somebody standing off to the side of the bed, clearing their throat. I looked up at the nurse, who didn’t look so pleased that I wasn’t alone. I quickly nudged Justin, shoving him towards the edge until he finally jumped to his feet in confusion. I nodded towards...

Chapter 32 I fluttered my eyes open. The color white was all that surrounded me. I faintly heard a steady beep in the background, unsure where it was coming from. I looked down at the green gown, finally realizing where I was. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed someone curled up in a chair asleep. I looked over, seeing Chase’s face. I silently gasped for a breath of air and closed my...

Chapter 31
It was a perfect day. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky, letting the sun shine down covering everything in its path. We landed early this morning in Sydney Australia and it was only one day till my birthday. Justin wouldn’t even give me as much as a hint for what he had planned. “You just got to trust me babe!” Justin said putting his arm around me and bringing me in close. “Ha-ha,...

Chapter 30 “Scooter?” Justin said. “Pattie?” I continued Both Pattie and Scooter were sitting on the edge of the bed. Her hand rested on Scooter’s leg, and his arm reached across her, holding her face within his hand. Justin walked up to Scooter, shoving him off the side, “What are you doing? Get off my mom!” Justin shouted. Pattie tried to speak over Justin’s voice, “Justin stop! It’s ok.”...

Chapter 29 Today I actually got to sleep in. I made sure to turn my phone on silent and close the shades before falling asleep the night before as to make sure nothing would wake me up on our day off. When I did eventually awaken, I noticed Pattie was gone, and I had a new text message from Justin. Good morning..Well, not yet, it won’t be a good morning until I see your face, but...

Chapter 28 I made it through only half of Justin’s show. I was still a little jet lagged and not used to the time change. I decided to go back to the bus and lay down for a little while. “Do you want me to walk you out there?” Pattie asked, not wanting me to go alone. “No, I’m sure I’ll be fine. I’ll see you guys when you get back!”. The walk out to the bus was dark, and the air surrounding...

Chapter 27 We got off the bus to find ourselves in beautiful Indonesia. “Did I tell you I loved you this morning yet?” Justin asked “Probably 5 times already” I said to him giggling. He was definitely trying to make an effort to show me how much he cared. We walked into the lobby of the hotel to meet up with everyone from the other busses, which...

Chapter 26 “So what should we do about Chase and Lauren?” Justin asked. “Who?” I asked jokingly, lost in Justin’s gaze. Just then there was a knock on the door. “Hey it’s me I just wanted to see how you were doing.” Chase said while walking in. He looked at Justin then back at me. “Really?” he said looking at us holding each other “you’re just going to take him back? After everything this...

I stood there standing in the doorway. I wanted to look away, and pretend I didn’t see what I just saw, but my body stood frozen, unable to move. Justin got off of her and stood up off the bed. “What are you doing here? You’re not supposed to be back for another week.” Justin asked. I opened my mouth hoping something logical would come out, “I’m asking myself that same question...

Chapter 24 I laid in the cool grass looking up at the cloudless sky. Mindy’s smile shined down on me through the sun’s rays and I could hear her laughter in the wind that blew around me. I had been home for 3 weeks already and I’ve spent every single day at this spot since her funeral. My mother told me it wasn’t healthy, but I told her it was what I needed; it was where I went to talk to...

Chapter 23 I got back to the hotel and went straight to Justin’s room. I kept knocking on the door but he wouldn’t answer. I tried to call but his phone was turned off. When my knuckles got sore I decided it was time to give up. I quietly went back into my room, trying not to wake up Pattie. I slipped on some sweats and got into bed. I laid there in the darkness, letting the pure silence...

Chapter 22 The elevator door opened and I saw Chase already waiting for me. “So what changed your mind?” he asked. I shrugged my shoulders, “I guess I felt like being around someone who actually wanted to spend some time with me for change.” A smile grew on his face. “Come on, let’s get out of here!” Chase took my hand and we ran out of the hotel. It was late, and the streets were deserted. ...

Chapter 21 I checked the time on my phone; I was going to be late to sound check! I asked if Chase minded that we went straight to the venue instead of stopping off at the hotel first. “Oh yeah, of course! I wouldn’t want you to be late.” He said. So I told the driver our new destination. When we pulled up to the back entrance of the building I quickly jumped out, throwing my hair into a...

I woke up the next morning the same way I went to sleep. Alone. I had figured Justin didn’t even come back last night. But once I got up, I noticed his cloths piled on the floor, which meant he came and left without even waking me up to say hello. I heard a knock on the door and quickly combed out the frizz in my hair with my fingers and walked over to the door. When I opened it,...

Chapter 19 Today I woke up feeling awful. I could feel a cold coming on all week, and this morning it let loose. My throat was sore; I couldn’t breath, and my even my body ached. I had been stuffed up in my hotel room by myself all day, watching re-runs of The Brady Bunch and drinking hot tea. Justin was in too much of a rush this morning that he barley even noticed. His whole day consisted...

Chapter 18 I stood there nervously playing with my own hands as they became clammy. The butterflies in my stomach wouldn’t calm down. I probably checked my hair and make-up more times than necessary. I couldn’t help it, I had never done anything close to this, I was nervous. “Let’s welcome Christina out here!” That was my queue. I walked out, blinded by the bright lights that hung overhead....

Chapter 17 The next morning I woke up, squinting from the sunlight that was in my eyes. I looked around for a second, wondering where I was. I was back in my room; I didn’t even remember falling asleep last night. I threw my covers to one side and stretched, noticing my neck was sore. I reached for my phone on the nightstand and saw it was only 7:00am. I rolled over and noticed Pattie was...

Chapter 16 I stood there. I forgot how to move. I forgot how to breathe. But one thing I didn’t have a problem doing was smile. I stood completely still as the world around me continued to move. The crew just looked at me and laughed, getting back to what they were doing. What shocked me the most was how natural letting the words “I love you too” slip off of my lips. There wasn’t an ounce of...
