< Chapter 32: Silent Treatment >

♥ Justin's POV: ♥

"We should be landing soon," the pilot announced as I rubbed my eyes, just woken up from my slumber. Phoebe was still fast asleep on the couch as I wandered the jet, wondering where Jamie was. She was mostly likely asleep as well, but I wanted to wake her up with a kiss and hold her in my arms.

So, carefully and quietly, I searched every inch of the jet and then finally approached the small bedroom. A smile spread on my face as I thought of different ways to wake her up, just to hear that cute little giggle of hers and feel those amazing lips against mine.

"Jamie," I called out, creaking the door open and stepping inside. I looked up at the bed and froze completely, staring at the sight in front of me. Unbelievable.

There lay Noah, peacefully asleep, with his arms wrapped around my Jamie, cuddling her as she slept as well. Mixed emotions ran throughout my body in lightning speed and jealousy rose to the surface. The anger I felt made my hands form two fists and my cheeks turn red. I watched them with a deadly glare, and part of me wanted to scream and shout, demanding an explanation to this.

What the fuck was going on in here?

I'm going to kill Noah. I'm going to murder him. Phoebe would hate me afterwards, but that's okay because she'll understand. She can find someone better anyway. I just can't fucking believe what I'm seeing.

This is NOT swaggy.

This is not swaggy at all.

I held back my fists and it took every single part of me to hold in the rage that would've corrupted right then and there. There's so many things I can do right now. Maybe I'll start with grabbing Noah by the fucking throat.

Get the fuck off my woman.

I approached the two sleeping bodies and was about to yell something, but when my mouth opened, nothing came out. All my anger transformed into feelings like betrayal, sadness, and disappointment. But most of all... I felt unwanted. That's what I am. Jamie doesn't want me...

I blinked twice and realized my face had become wet. Wiping away the tears, I storm out of the room and get as far away from them as possible.

I thought she loved me. But what had they done in there?

♥ Jamie's POV: ♥

"JAMIE!!"

My eyes shot open and I panicked, jumping out of bed. For some reason, since I remembered I was in a jet, I thought there was a serious emergency. Like if we were going to crash.

"What?! What?! What happened?!" I asked whoever was in here with me. Deciding to finally look up at the person, I realized it was only Phoebe. She stared back at me with an amused smile and I crossed my arms, frowning.

"We're almost landing," she smirked.

"Gee, thanks," I rolled my eyes, looking for my bag. "I'll be right out in a minute."

"Okay, we have chocolate on the table if you want some," she informed, walking towards the door.

"Sounds delicious," I grinned, finally finding my bag and taking out a comb. When Phoebe left and shut the door, I began wondering where Noah was. He just probably woke up and got out of bed without wanting to wake me up, unlike Phoebe.

I sighed and finished combing my hair before deciding to finally exit the room. Just as I suspected, I saw Noah laying on the couch, staring at the t.v as Phoebe walked over to the kitchen area with Justin.

"Good morning," I smiled at everyone. 3 pairs of eyes turned to look at me.

"Morning!" Noah smiled back, returning his focus on the television. I met Justin's eyes and he stared blankly at me. I shot him a smile and he didn't return one back. Instead, he kept staring at me with a face that lacked expression.

Huh... That's weird...

I walked towards the kitchen to join my two besties and approached Justin as Phoebe looked into the fridge. "Hi babe," I tell him, leaning in for a kiss. Before my lips could touch his, he stepped back, making me stop. His eyes scanned mine as I grew more curious. "What?"

He shook his head, taking his glass of juice and then walked right out of the kitchen, ignoring me.

What the hell is going on with him??

"Umm... Phoebe?" I called out, turning around to face her. She was pouring water on a cup and stopped to look at me. "Do you know wh-?"

"-Wait a sec," she interrupted, eying my hand. My mouth closed as she set down her cup, walking over to me. "Where did you get that? It's beautiful," she took my hand and admired the promise ring Justin gave to me. Oops... Did I really forget to tell her?

"Umm... Actually.. Justin gave it to me," I smiled, "It's a promise ring."

Phoebe gasped really loud, startling me. "Seriously?!?" her eyes twinkled at the sight of the ring. "What did he promise?!"

Before I could reply, Phoebe and I both heard footsteps approaching the kitchen area and Noah burst in.

"IS EVERYTHING OKAY?" he yelled.

I blinked three times and looked at Phoebe, who smiled sheepishly, releasing my hand. "Yeah, why wouldn't it be?" I laughed.

"Well... I heard a loud gasp and I thought someone got hurt or something," he murmured.

"Sorry, that was me..." Phoebe giggled, raising her hand. "I just got excited."

"Excited? About what?" he asked curiously.

"Look it!!" Phoebe snatched my hand and showed Noah the promise ring. "Justin gave it to her, how sweet is that?"

"Very," he smiled lightly, "Is it a promise ring?"

I nodded slowly.

"It's really pretty," his smile widened. "If you don't mind me asking... What did he promise?"

"YEAH, what did he promise?" Phoebe looked excitedly at me. I rolled my eyes and smiled goofily at my friend here.

"Well..." I began shyly, "He gave a long speech, but basically he promised 3 things. One was that he'll always love me, no matter what. Two was that he would never purposely hurt me. And three was that no one will ever love me like he does, and that I am his 'everything', pretty much."

"AWW!!!" Phoebe jumped up. "That is just SO FUCKING CUTE!!!"

I glared at her, and she giggled, "Haha, sorry?"

"That's very sweet, actually," Noah added, laughing at Phoebe's actions.

"Thank you," I said, brushing a strand of hair behind my ear.

"You're welcome," he winked, and left back to the couches. After he exited the kitchen area, I immediately turned back to Phoebe.

"Actually, he promised four things. I just couldn't say the last one in front of Noah," I tell her with a soft voice.

"Well, what was the fourth?" she asked curiously.

"It was that he will be there for our baby and try to be a good father to him or her. Basically that he'll be there for me. When I'm pregnant and when I'm not.." I smiled.

"He's literally such a sweetheart!" she squealed, placing her hand where her heart is located. "I'm so happy for you."

"Thanks, girl," I laughed, and we gave each other a quick hug before I added, "But there's one problem I wanted to talk to you about," I spoke nervously.

"What is it?" she looked at me intently, ready to listen.

"I think Justin's ignoring me and giving me the silent treatment and I don't know why," I whispered. Her face fell and she patted my shoulder comfortingly.

"Do you want me to ask him?" she offered.

"Would you?"

"I don't know. I think it's better if you asked him," she smiled weakly.

"But I'm getting the feeling he doesn't want to talk to me," I say softly.

"But he still loves you..." she pointed out, and I fell silent.

Does he still love me? Boy, I really hope so.

We had finally landed back in Canada and the chauffeur was stuffing our baggages into the limo. Kenny joined us and helped with our bags before climbing into the limo. Justin still wasn't talking to me and I wasn't sure how to approach the situation. I was just stuck on how to handle it.

"After you," Noah said, signaling towards the limousine.

"Thanks," I smiled at him, going inside. I sat in one side and saw that Justin was climbing in next. I patted the seat beside me, telling him to sit next to me but he completely ignored me and went to sit beside Kenny. I was about to say something but the two of them began a conversation and I felt silenced. It was as if I wasn't even here in Justin's eyes.

What's bothering him?

I began having all these insecure thoughts about how he probably doesn't want me anymore and I didn't even realize that we were soon back at my house.

"Do you two want to stay for a while?" I asked Phoebe and Noah as we all slid out of the limo and collected our bags.

"That'd be nice," Phoebe said as Noah nodded in agreement.

"Okay, cool," I gave them a thumbs up and left to unlock the front door. As soon as I stepped inside, I was attacked by my parents as each of them crushed me in a hug.

"Welcome home, sweetheart!!" they both said simultaneously.

"Oww, I can feel my bones getting squished," I whined, and they pulled away, smiling sheepishly.

"Sorry, honey, we just really missed you," my mom said.

"Yeah, did you have fun?" Dad asked.

"Yup, everything went great!" I nod. Well... Everything except Justin ignoring me today.

"That's great!" Mom added, and as soon as they heard someone else enter the house, they rushed to hug him or her.

"We missed you!!" Dad shouted, and I turned around to see Justin stuck in that same bone-crushing hug I was struggling to get out of a minute ago. My mom started kissing his cheek repeatedly and he let out a groan.

"Stop!" he complained, making my parents pull away laughing.

They asked him what they had already asked me about the trip, and his reply was almost the exact same thing. I was kind of bothered by the fact that he was making conversation with my parents and not me.

I'm the one that's carrying his baby.

"Hey, you and I should go out and play hockey sometime, eh?" Dad asked him and I rolled my eyes. He's way too Canadian.

"That sounds amazing, Danny. Oh, and can I bring Ryan?" Justin said.

"Sure! It's been so long that all three of us played a game, don't you think?" Dad laughed.

"Of course. We need to fix that ASAP," Justin playfully smacked my Dad's shoulder. I sighed and watched them bond with each other. I was jealous of my Dad because at least he could get Justin to talk to him. But Justin can't ignore me forever.

Can he?

*******************************************

Sorry I haven't updated! I had to visit my aunt yesterday and stuff >.<

BUT I decided I should pick a day of the week that you guys can look forward to. Which is why I decided that Saturday is officially the day where I would post a new chapter. This is all due to my schoolwork so I'm picking a day that works.

HOWEVER, if I don't update on a Saturday, I was most likely busy and will update real soon. Plus, I'm still updating whenever I want (like if I'm on vacation from school) but I'm saying that Saturdays are THE days that this book will be updated.

Hope you enjoyed this chapter! :D

Justin and Jamie on the side >>>
