< Chapter 33: Misunderstanding >

♥ Jamie's POV: ♥

I nervously made my way upstairs after excusing myself from my mom, dad, Noah and Phoebe. I knew that Justin was hiding in his room, isolating himself from the rest of us. And I knew it was my fault. I just don't know what I did.

I walked slowly until I was facing his door, then I knocked and slowly opened the door a few seconds afterwards. As I entered the room, I saw he was unpacking a few stuff. "Babe? We need to talk.." I spoke cautiously.

He was picking up a shirt from his baggage and stopped to stare at me. It was more of a glare, though. Umm, what now? "I know you're ignoring me, Justin and it kinda hurts. Can you just tell me what I did?"

In one swift movement, he threw the shirt across the room angrily. "Seriously, Jamie?!" he yelled, making my heart stop. He's never yelled at me like that before.

"Uhm-.."

"-You know exactly what you did! Now, tell me.. how was it?" he crossed his arms. I saw his right foot tapping the floor repeatedly and, being his best friend and all, I knew that he was either really angry or just impatient.

In this case, it was both.

"I d-don't understand..." I stuttered. Honestly, I was really scared right now. Who knows what he'd do?

"Don't pretend there isn't anything going on with you and that asshole, Noah!" he shouted. Why would he insult Noah like that? I didn't d-...

Oh.

I see what this is about. Shit.

"Ohh!! Are you mad because you saw us sleeping in the same bed on the jet?" I asked. His eyes widened and he seemed offended.

"Why do you say it like it's no big deal?" he scoffed.

"Because... nothing happened. We wanted a little nap and I offered him the bed, but he said I could have it. We ended up just sharing it and we didn't think you and Phoebe would mind since you two were sleeping together as friends," I explained.

I saw Justin relax a little, but his arms remained crossed.

"Did you two kiss?" he whispered.

"What?" I asked, shocked. Did I hear him correctly?

He raised his voice, repeating his question. "Did you two kiss?"

"Of course NOT! Why would I kiss anyone that's not you?! I'm pregnant with your baby! Not to mention I love you! I was thinking you hated me now," I frowned.

"Hate you?" he yelled. "You thought I hated you?"

I nodded slowly. Before Justin could say anything else, the door burst open. I turned around and saw both Phoebe and Noah with concerned looks on their faces.

"What's going on?" Phoebe asked.

Noah added, "We heard yelling."

I turned around again to get a glimpse at Justin, who was staring at me.

"Noah," Justin said, trying to stay as calm as possible, "Don't. Ever. Sleep with Jamie again."

Noah's eyes widened and Phoebe gasped. In the blink of an eye, Phoebe raised her hand and hit Noah as hard as possible on the arm.

"Oww!!" Noah yelped, holding the spot where he'd been hit.

"YOU SLEPT WITH MY BEST FRIEND?!?" Phoebe yelled, making me flinch.

"We didn't even have sex!" Noah and I both explained at the same time. Phoebe frowned, crossing her arms.

"Then what happened?"

"We just shared a bed, but only to sleep! We're just friends, right Jamie?" Noah asked.

"Yes!" I quickly agreed.

Both Justin and Phoebe seemed to be more relaxed, but I still knew they were angry.

"Why does it even matter?" Noah questioned, rolling his eyes.

"Are you fucking kidding me? Because she's PREGNANT, that's why!!" Phoebe shouted, then immediately covered her mouth. Noah, Justin and I's eyes all widened, shocked at her words.

She wasn't supposed to-..

"Oops. I'm so, SO sorry! It slipped!" Phoebe apologized.

I gave her a weak smile. "It's okay, Phoebs. He would've found out soon enough."

Noah turned to me, unable to process the new information. It reminded me of when Ryan found out.

"Y-you're pregnant?" his jaw dropped.

"Yes," I sighed.

He eyed Justin and gasped. "You're the father?!" he asked him.

Justin crossed his arms and smirked at Phoebe's boyfriend. "She can't get pregnant by herself, you know," he answered, rolling his eyes.

"B-but... You're... Justin Bieber!" Noah stuttered.

"Your point exactly?"

"What are your fans going to say?" he asked.

"Listen Noah," I interrupted, "Don't tell anyone. Please?! We're not ready yet. Not just yet."

Noah sighed, thinking things over. I knew he was still in a lot of shock, but he finally replied, "Okay. I guess your secret is safe with me. But only if Justin and Phoebe forgive me, because nothing really did happen."

"I forgive you," Phoebe smiled. Noah thanked her and looked expectantly at Justin, who was still frowning.

He took a few seconds to himself before sighing, "Fine. You're forgiven."

Noah smiled, "Thanks."

Then it was my turn to sigh in relief. Finally, this is over. "But do you guys forgive me?" I asked for clarification.

"Of course!" Phoebe winked, making me grin. I nervously stared back into Justin's eyes. He still didn't seem too happy.

"I just want to clarify one thing, Jamie Lynn Hughes," he murmured, walking over to me. I tensed as he leaned so close to me that I could feel his hot breath on my nose. "I could never, ever hate you, missy," he said disapprovingly, causing me to laugh. Before I could laugh so much that it hurts, I felt Justin wrap his arms around me, silencing me by pressing his lips on mine.

"Aww.." Phoebe's squeal was heard in the background, making me smile into the kiss. Before I pulled away, I felt something wet drop on my cheek. I stared deeply into Justin's chocolate brown eyes and saw he was crying.

"Jamie, I'm sorry... I just thought I lost you for a second there," he whispered. I ran a hand through his hair and pecked his lips, wiping a tear from his face.

"You really are a doofus," I smiled. "You can never lose me, okay? And I'll never hate you either."

"You know I love you right?" he smiled.

"Uhh, I've got the promise ring to prove it," I giggled. "And I love you too. Always." I held his chin, bringing him forward so our lips crashed together again. I felt his hands wander down to my butt as he kissed back roughly. We were making out for what seemed like forever before a cough broke us apart. Justin and I both turned our heads to look at Noah and Phoebe, who awkwardly watched us.

"Do you mind?" Justin grinned, squeezing me tighter.

Noah did a double take before grabbing Phoebe's hand. "We're outta here," he chuckled. I let out a few giggles as they made their way out of the room.

"Oh, and Noah?" Justin called out. Noah peeped his head back into the room.

"Yes?"

"Don't. Ever. Sleep with Jamie again," he repeated with a glare.

"Got it," he winked, grabbing the doorknob. "Just use protection," he said, closing the door right after.

My cheeks flushed red and I hid my face on Justin's chest.

"It's okay, babe," he teased. "He didn't mean it."

--

"What's for dinner?" I asked my mother, casually walking into the kitchen.

"Spaghetti. It's almost done," she answered.

"Justin's favorite food," I smiled, grabbing a water bottle from the refrigerator.

"Yup," Mom laughed, getting out a few plates.

"Want some help with that?" I suggested, walking over to help out anyway.

"Thanks, I'd appreciate it," she smirked. When I reached out to take a plate from her hand, she grabbed my arm, stopping me.

"What's that?" she asked, staring at my ring. Wow, I really didn't tell anyone.

"It's from Justin," I smile, then decided to explain everything. I told her how he gave it to me and what his promises were.

"Ugh, he's such a good man for you," she squealed. "Congrats, honey."

"Thanks. He's so sweet," I said, setting up plates on the dinner table. Speaking of him...

"Hey girls," Justin said, entering the kitchen. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed my cheek multiple times.

"Hi," I giggled, hugging him back.

"Aww, you two are just perfect. My precious daughter and the boy I love like my own. This is just great, I'm so happy for you two!!" my mom practically fangirled, making me blush.

"Stop, mom!" I complained. Justin was laughing beside me and I playfully pushed him away. "Can we just eat?"

"Haha, whatever you say," Mom winked. I rolled my eyes and went to the living room to call my dad, Noah and Phoebe. They all jumped up and rushed over to the kitchen, excited for food as I stepped out to the now empty living room, needing some time to myself. I sat on the couch and looked around the house.

I was having one of those moments when you just need to pause and reflect on your life. After a while of thinking, I felt my eyes water and I buried my face in my hands.

"Babe?" I felt someone sit next to me. I looked up and met Justin's eyes. "Are you okay? I said I was sorry."

"Of course I'm okay, why wouldn't I be?" I sniffed.

"You're, umm... Crying..." he pointed out the obvious, smiling.

I giggled and wiped away my tears. "They're happy tears," I mumble.

"Oh yeah?" he smirked, pulling me onto his lap.

"Yes," I rested my head on his chest.

"And why are you crying happy tears?" he whispered in my ear.

"Because I'm happy with my life. I have an overprotective boyfriend who's my bestest friend in the whole wide world, and we're having a baby together," I smiled.

He fake gasped, "You're cheating on me? Who is this new boyfriend of yours?" He grinned.

"Shut up," I playfully smacked his arm.

"Just kidding, baby," he bit my earlobe. "I love you more than anything in the entire universe."

"I know," I gave him a hug. "I love you more than that."
