Chapter 3

Over the next two weeks I analized that night over and over again.But I still hadn't figured out what had happened.

*FLASHBACK*

I was going to tell her off! Why did you have to do that? I am not a little kid. I can handle my own battles!!"I practically screamed. "Well Squirt.I did not want to sleep on the tour bus. and I don't think the guys would like to wake up at 3am to hear that you got us kicked out of the hotel."By that time we were at my door.As I walked in I turned around to see Justin turned around about to head to his room."Justin?" He turned around. "Yeah?" I smiled then frowned."DON'T CALL ME SQUIRT!!!!"With that I slammed the door in his face.

*END FLASHBACK*

I didn' understand why I had told him not to call me squirt. All I knew was that the last time he called me that My heart ached and I felt empty inside. And that was a feeling I did not like. Over those two weeks Justin had tried to figure out why I was mad at him. But how could he when I didn't even know myself. 14 days. 13 cities. 14 days of confusion. 13 cities of hiding from Justin. Everytime I saw Justin for some reason I wanted to choke him. It was tiring for everybody. Me for teying to hide from Justin. Justin for trying to track me down. And for the rest of the guys for trying to spend time with eac me and Justin without making the other left out. I looked at the clock 10pm. All of that analizing was making me hungry.And I did not want room service." Then I won't." I thought out loud. I put on my shoes and slipped out the door. I made sure to use the stairs so nobody would see me. When I got to the lobby I remembered how Joey told me not to leave the hotel alone. So I waited for someone to leave and then I walked out right behind them. I didn't exactly leave the hotel alone. Somebody was with me. He never said I had to be with someone outside of the hotel. When I got outside I saw a cafe on the corner of the street. It was a quaint little cafe. With pictures of different celebrities like Lucille Ball and Gene Kelly decorating the walls. When I sat down I looked at the menu and was ready to order when I saw a shadow on the table. As I looked up I was not very happy to see who was there.

" Where are your body guards?" I asked Justin as he sat down. He just frowned and replied " Isn't there somebody who is supposed to be here with you?" I told him about my idea and how I got out of the hotel. "Smart Fatone. You could have gotten into serious trouble if Joey would have caught you." "I'll just say I came here with you." I smiled pleased with my idea. "Justin we need to talk." This was the moment I was dreading. He grabbed my hand and led me outside and to the side of the building. He looked me in the eyes."J.B.-" I cut him off by kissing him. I could tell I caught him off guard.because he did not kiss me back. After I kissed him he had a confused look on his face."J.B.?" That" when I spilled my guts. I told him everything. About my crush to why I did not want him to call me Squirt. Everything. When I was done Justin had a weird expression on his face."J.B.-" I cut him off again but this time not by kissing him. I had realized what that expression meant. " You don't feel the same way. Do you?" He shook his head. I started to feel tears falling. I just turned and ran down an alley. I heard Justin call after me, but I ignored his calls. Then I heard footsteps. "Justin leave me alone." But Justin did not reply.I continued to walk and I continued to hear footsteps. 'Why won't he leave me alone?' I thought to myself. "Justin leave me alone!" I turned around.Sure enough There was Justin."Don't you ever listen I said leave me alone." He looked down at his feet."I'm sorry J.B.,It's just that I don't think of you that way. I think of you more as a little sister." I couldn't believe this .After all the dreams I had , This wasn't how it was supposed to be."Well Justin I'm sorry too.Because I sure don't think of you as a Big Brother!" And again I ran away from him but this time I ran into the hotel.Up the stairs and into my room. I flung myself in my bed and cried myself to sleep.
