Obsessive Passion

Chapter fourteen

Thursday.

She had opened her eyes, but had to blink to get used to the light.

Her head hurt a lot. And when she looked at her body, seeing the bandages, and the sling, she felt her insides twist. She tried to get up, but when Justin and Haylen entered the room, she rested her head on the pillow again.

- No, you can't get up yet.

- Why?

She had brief faults in her head about what had happened yesterday, the memories were gradually returning.

- Why do you have to rest. Glad you woke up. - Justin said fondly. He looked tired. But he was still beautiful.

- Justin, why are we here? I had to be in New York now, and you ... oh, what a hell of a headache! - she put her hand over her head.

- Calm. - He approached, and sat on the bed, while Haylen placed a tray with various foods on the bed. - I'll tell you everything, but first you need to eat something.

- Thank you Haylen. she said, and Haylen gave her a warm smile.

- Are you better?

- She's better than Haylen yesterday. I can guarantee that. - Justin interrupted.

- That's good. Excuse. - Haylen shrugged, and left the room.

- Eats. - He pointed to the tray. - Do you want me to help you with that?

She had taken a spoon to eat the cereal with strawberries and milk.

- No, thank you. I think I can eat alone.

Justin watched while she ate the cereal. He was making her nervous, so she didn't eat much.

- Ready. I finished. -he took a deep breath. - Now, please tell me what happened yesterday.

- Well, I don't know what to tell you ... I just know that I will never forgive myself for what I did. And I don't expect you to forgive me either.

- What happened Justin ?! You had jumped! I saw it myself.

- Yes I jumped. I mean ... - he sweeps his hair with his hands and then his eyes are dark again. - I kind of ... pretended to jump. I'm a f*****g i***t! I just wanted to scare you. I ... jumped onto the windowsill downstairs.

- Our. I ... I don't even know what to say ... - She closed her eyes to absorb the information.

- How about cursing me with all possible expletives? Hit me? Or report me? -Her eyes were on fire, and she was pacing.

- Justin, calm down ...

- You passed out. She hit her head, and cut herself with the broken glass from the glass I broke! You almost died because of me! How do you want me to calm down?

- Look ... Now that I'm remembering everything. Are you serious? I should be that way. I got scared, I thought you jumped. I was worried. But ... you took me to the hospital, how? And the press?

- Nobody saw us at the hospital. But even so, it doesn't matter to me. You don't know how I felt when I thought you were going to die.

"I think I can imagine ..." she said to herself. - Why did you bring me to your house?

- I sent you your things, I'll take care of you. My doctor will come here, a few times to examine you. It is the least I could do.

She took a deep breath. Trying to understand everything.

- Have you brought my things yet? And the apartment? I had to pay for the days I stayed ...

- I already took care of that.

She rolled her eyes.

- Where are my things?

- Some in the closet, others in the bathroom, and some in the drawer of that nightstand. - He pointed to the other side of the bed.

He was already calmer, and playful, he sat next to her on the bed.

- Our! - She smiled, and looked at herself, she was wearing a cotton dress with flowers. - And that dress? I was not with him yesterday.

- Jazzi helped me put it on you. It was not easy.

She frowned, and he laughed.

- I'll pretend this isn't too weird! - She gave herself to laughter. - But ... I have to tell my mother what happened, she will be worried about her maternal instinct. Where is my cell phone?

- He's in his drawer ... I'll get it. - Justin walked to the other side of the room and entered his closet.

Then he came out holding the iPhone. He walked over to her and handed over the cell phone.

- Thank you, I'll say I'm fine and ... - she started typing a number on her cell phone.

- Won't she want to take you away after she finds out?

- Yea.

- I want you to stay, please. I will not be calm until I see you well. Let me take care of you here? -looking at her was pleading.

- I will stay Mr. Bieber. You will learn not to scare angry girls! I'm just going to say that I'm fine.

After breathing relieved, Justin left the room with a smile like that of Alíce's cat in wonderland.

- What did your mother say?

- Well, first, she almost killed me over the phone.

Justin laughed.

- But then what?

- And she said I'm supposed to call more often. And that she misses you.

- Didn't she say anything about me?

- Ah! Yes. She told me to be careful with a bastard like you. Why does she think you suffer from personality disorder.

- Oh! - Justin's eyes widened in fright. - Did she really say that?

- No! I am just kidding. - she burst out laughing.

- It's not funny. - He reached for her arm, to get the cell phone.

When she saw a band wrapped around his wrist, she took his arm.

- Justin, what's that on your wrist?

He shrugged his arm, and her expression became serious again.

- Nothing more. I only cut it when I went to get you.

- Let me see.

He didn't take his gaze from hers, and half-prickly, he unrolled the sash. On his wrist, near an arterial vein, he had a cut the size of a palm, very deep, around it was swollen, and with dried blood.

- Justin, how did this happen?

-It's just a small cut ... it's nothing compared to hers. - he put the banner back on.

- It's very deep, and it's inflamed. And it's close to an artery. You could have died. Where did you cut it? Tell me the truth. - She looked at him worriedly. - Please.

- I cut.

- You what?

- I cut. I took the knife and made the cut myself. - he was starting to get impatient.

- Why did it?

- Look what I did to you ?! It doesn't even compare. I could have done better.

- What?

She was stunned, looking furious, and worried at the same time for Justin. Haylen knocked on the door and came in suddenly.

- I came to get the tray. - She walked quickly to the tray, and after collecting breakfast, she left the room, closing the door behind her.

- I can't believe you did this to yourself! You are crazy!

- Don't call me crazy. Please. - he pleaded.

- Risking your life for a girl you just met makes you what?

- I did it ... because I love you.

- No! We will not start with that again! Please.

- Okay, look ... I promise that as soon as you recover, you can go wherever you want. - he took a long break. - You can go.

Those words came out of his throat, like a sharp and sharp dagger.

Jeremy and the kids came to the room to see if everything is okay with her.

- Are you better? - Jeremy approached her.

- I am fine. Thanks.

- I already knew everything that happened. I wanted you to know that he does these things all the time. He's like that. sorry for him.

- It's alright. I was notified. - She gave a weak smile.

- Glad you woke up! Jazzi told me that you are sick. - Jaxon said, pouting. - I wanted to sleep here with you, but Justin wouldn't let me.

- We will solve this already. - She smiled, and then looked at Jazzi who was sitting on the other side of the bed. - Jazzi, thanks for helping me with the dress.

- That was nothing. Jaxon and I will take care of you until you are completely healed.

- Thanks.

- Well, you can stay here in my room at will. I will go out and leave them alone.

Justin picked up his cell phone on the bed, and left the room.

- Me either. Please boys, behave yourself. - Jeremy left then, leaving Jazzi with Jaxon.

Jazzi took a tablet from Justin, and started playing a game of dressing a doll. Jaxon was with his killing aliens. And she watched them both.

- Justin likes you a lot Le. You know that, don't you? - Jazzi took her by surprise.

- He already told me, but how do you know?

- Justin said to me, and to Jazzi. - Jaxon said while killing a two-headed bug. - But we already knew before.

- IT'S. But ... he likes you differently.

- How so different?

- Unlike the other girls he dated. - Jazzi never took her eyes off the Barbie she was wearing with a pink mini skirt, high heels, and a leather jacket. - It looks like he wants to date you on his own, without anyone asking him.

- Did he rehearse you to say that? - she laughed, but Jazzi remained serious.

- No.

"Okay," she took a deep breath. - This is much more complicated than it looks. But then ... What are your favorite games?

***

- Are you having fun kids?

Justin entered the room, his face was more rested, and he seemed to have a glass of whiskey, as he was quite flushed.

- Well, Mr. Jack is calling for lunch. Can go. We're going too.

The two ran through the door, after giving Leticia a kiss on both cheeks.

- Did you like to talk to them?

- Of course. They are angels. And Jaxon has his sense of humor.

- That's good. Want to eat what now?

- I'm not hungry. If you don't mind, I don't want to eat. All the things that happened took my appetite.

- Actually, I care a lot. But ... if you prefer it that way.

- IT'S. I prefer it anyway.

- Do you feel better?

- Much better. Thanks for taking care of me, Justin. I will be very grateful to you.
