Justin

Hopefully it wasn't Penelope

No, fùck that, I don't care if I'm caught anymore.

I'm divorcing her soon, why does it matter? if she knows about me sleeping around with Sequoia, then so be it. She should've known it was coming , even if I didn't make it clear to her before, she should've saw this coming as soon as I said those "vows" to her. But Penelope isn't the brightest star in the galaxy, that was okay too because it would make going through with the divorce 10x easier

"Who was that?" Sequoia asked after closing the door and fixing her appearance, I shrugged but whinced when the pain from my wounds suddenly submerged again; Sequoia frowned and looked slightly concerned once I did that. "Are you okay?" nodding , I attempted to sit up more but I hissed loudly as I felt the rush of pain yet again. "You're not okay, lay back Justin."

I groaned and ignored her commands , "I'm fine angel, I just need to....." I trailed off as I lifted myself yet again and held in the my curses to avoid being scolded by Sequoia, who was like a mother when it came to taking care of me. "Adjust my position, don't worry about me."

She looked unconvinced but she brushed it off and went back over to the chair she was sitting in, just as she took a seat Penelope came in with an oddly weird smile holding a white silicon cup. I look at her skeptically before taking it in my hands, there was something different about her but I just couldn't put a finger on it. Penelope then glance to Sequoia who was sitting in the corner with her phone to her ear, not really realizing how penelope was glaring at her.

Okay something was wrong

I listened to Sequoia talk fast into the phone, like it was another language but she switch back to English saying no mama. So she was talking to her mother, that's cute. I've only heard bits and pieces about Sequoia's family, just the fact that she was born here in the United States in Virginia but her father relocated a 5 year old Sequoia and her mother to a place just outside of Paris, France because of his strong family ties. Other than the fact that her father was a cheating bastard and her mother was a heartbroken woman, she hadn't told me anything else.

Penelope finally took her eyes off of Sequoia and turned her attention towards me, "You haven't drunk your water yet babe," she grinned averting her eyes to the cup I was gripping in my hand, I suddenly got a feeling, I was no longer thirsty. Well, I was but I didn't want anything from her, if I were to get something to drink I'd call the nurse or get it myself if I could.

"I'm not really thirsty anymore babe, thanks though ." I cringed at the word babe, I don't want to say it to her but I wanted to say it to Sequoia. Penelope's eyes shined with anger first but they soon changed back to the clueless icy blue ones I was familiar with, it was strange. She was throwing me off, I feel uneasy around her suddenly and I didn't like it.

Clearing her throat, Sequoia made her presence noticeable Penelope and I both turned away from our somewhat forced or fake conversation , to a awkward looking Sequoia. She looked like she wanted to get the hell out here, fast. Her soft pink lips parted and she spoke "I'm going to go. Bye Penelope, feel better Justin. " but I didn't want her to go, I was literally aching to reach out and touch her, pull her in my arms and kiss her or even caress her. But I couldn't.

I didn't want to do that because I was hurt physically and I wouldn't be able to defend myself from the wrath of Penelope, not like this. So instead I just gave her small nod and a knowing look, when I gave her that look she knew to contact me. Penelope plastered a wicked smile before walking around and pulling Sequoia in a breath taking hug, she hasn't hug back until a few moments later.

"Thank you for coming to see my husband in a time of need, I appreciate that sweetie." she said sicly sweet, Penelope's back was towards me so I could see Sequoia's confused expression as she awkwardly hugged back. I wanted to chuckle but I didn't want Penelope to ask what's so funny? Because my reply would be something extremely disrespectful.

"No problem Penelope, I'm always here for a friend " Sequoia replied, adding the emphasis on 'Friend' as she pulled away from Penelope's embrace. I rose an eyebrow at her and she cut her eye at me quickly before Penelope could see her. "Well I oughta be going, I have work in the morning. Bye!" she stated with so much fake enthusiasm, I could see right through it.

My eyes followed her body out of the room , Penelope cleared her throat to get my attention and I slowly turned my head to meet her icy glare. "Why is your friend so, unfaithful? " I was confused, who was she talking about? My dick? Shít, I don't know!

"Huh?"

"Ryan." she states like I was supposed to know that automatically, I shrugged not really sure what she was talking about, Penelope is so random at times. "He's out there bluntly flirting with Sequoia's friend, I saw them kissing! God, the nerve of some men. I know you wouldn't do that to me, isn't that right?"

My throat felt dry so I swallowed before nodding my head "Of course not," I lied, little did she know, I was actually planning on showing her the divorce papers as present for her birthday in a few weeks. But that would be cruel, wouldn't it? Maybe I could give them to her before hand, either way she's getting the documents before the end of this month which was October.

"Because you love me and you bought me this beautiful ring," in which I will be taking back so could buy Sequoia one, a larger one, I smiled softly before leaning back into my bed.

"Yes, that's exactly why. " I almost said sarcastically but Penelope hadn't noticed it, she was too busy studying that very temporary ring on her finger. I was stupid for buying that, what was going through me head? Why did I even do that to Sequoia, or even myself? All because I wasn't sure if she cared about me, but that was proven today when she came into my room with a relieved face. She was happy I was alive, she does care. I don't care if she doesn't love me just yet but she cares.

That's enough for me right now.

After a few moments of silence, Penelope sitting to admire her ring and I just thinking about Sequoia, there were heavy footsteps and a knock on the door. Penelope stood and walked to the door, opening it to reveal Chief Jones and two other officers from the precinct holding two folders in their hands.

"Mrs.Bieber," he said nodding and at Penelope who politely smiled back, he then walked over to my bed with a exasperated facial expression on his face. I knew he had some news, I had a feeling I wouldn't like it at all. "Justin, we have news...."

I nodded to him then shot Penelope a look that said get the hell out , she stayed glued in her spot before I shot her another glare which made her hurry out of the room, slamiming the door behind her. She's such a fùcking brat to be a 28 year old woman. "What's the news?"

"I know its late but this couldn't wait, you know the gang that you ran into today?" of course, how could I forget a group of pussies who impaired me until I was able to heal properly. I muttered a small yeah as I sat up slowly, Jones then opened the folder and sighed "You might want to look at this, its the information that we've gathered."

I reach forward and grabbed the manilla folder in my hand, scanning my eyes over the information, I almost died on spot after seeing what I couldn't believe was true. The picture. It couldn't be true, it's impossible; unlikely even. My jaw clenched as I read the name of the group, I didn't recognize it at all but I felt like I've seen it some where.

" This case is serious bieber, we can't lose anymore officers in the line of duty. But we need you, you obviously have some ties to the guy you see in the picture." Jones explained, pointing to another picture on the corner of the folder, I shook my head as I stared at the image. "Hear me out Justin, this could help us get them off the streets. He isn't the leader, it would be easy to take him in ."

"Hell no, I'm not coming in contact with that man. Do that shít yourself. " I snapped, closing the folder and throwing it into Jones' hands. I was not getting involved in this bullshit, not now not ever. "I have other shít to worry about," yeah like Penelope potentially killing me, " now if you would excuse me, I'd like some same rest."

Jones sighed then looked at me one last time before throwing the folder back into my lap and walking out, his two lap dogs following behind him closely. The door slammed shut again, I was alone again. My eyes stare at the folder, I cautiously lift it and open it slowly. My eyes fall on the picture again, then I read the name next to it.

Jeremy bieber

My father, in the flesh.

I didn't want to see him again, I wasn't scared to see him again. I'd never be scared of that man again, ever in my entire life and I swear on that. I'm just afraid of what I will do when I see him , will I shoot him or choke him like he used to do to my mother? I wasn't sure but I knew if I were to see him again, I'd kill him like I've said before.

I furrowed my eyebrows as I sulk in my own anger, then anger turned to confusion. I was in desperate need to figure this out;

Why the hell did he come to Florida?

Sequoia

Oh god not this conversation again.

"I mean seriously princess , he's married!" Daniel exclaims, as he tosses a ball in the air while laying on the couch that sits in my office. After last night, I wasn't able to get much sleep last night. Justin was still in the hospital and it was said that he wasn't getting out until Thursday, it being Monday today. Why were they keeping him for so long? He could easily heal at home.

I was still worried, but I had to be worried from behind my desk at 11am with a nagging Daniel who found out from Jade that I was messing around with a married man. My god he was angry as hell when he saw me, his eyes were scary as hell. But I managed to calm him down and that was only a half hour ago, all I did was give him permission to my condo's elevator but I felt like I'd regret that later.

"Daniel, you think I don't know that?" I asked annoyed at him, I just wanted this conversation to end. Let me adjust my lens in piece, my god someone get him! Daniel stopped tossing the ball and sat up quickly, giving me a hard glare which almost caused me to shudder.

He's really mad

"Then why do you continue to see him?!" he was almost yelling now, I was glad the door was closed the walls were thick but not that thick, fota could probably hear him yelling. "Its honestly stupid, you told me you were against cheating men but you're fùcking one now! I'm not understanding your logic here. "

Well...

I groaned and slammed my hands on the table, "Well then stop trying to fùcking understand! Its my life, not yours." daniel quickly stood in front of me, his jaw clenching and unclenching while gripping the front of my desk. "Go worry about your life instead of worrying about mine."

He laughed bitterly shaking his head at me, what is with him? "You know what? You'll just end up like those young naïve girls who just assume men will leave a happy home for a girl who can't even take care of herself." he told me coldly, I shook my head in disbelief. I wasn't one to believe words, what daniel was telling me was completely off.

Justin was not happy with that woman, there is no happy home there. I'm convinced that I'm part of his happiness, Daniel has it all wrong. I wasn't sure why he was telling me all of this, usually he is the supportive one. He was my support group when it was needed, what changed now? Was he okay?

"You don't know shít."

"I know enough. In the end, you will be the one hurt, Not him. "

That's not true

"You know what daniel? Get the hell out of my office, I'm tired of you trying to lecture me like you're my parent." I snap, resisting the urge to reach out and wring his neck; its so tempting but I didn't want to go to jail for murder, even if I was so close to doing it.

"you need some damn parental guidance, I wouldn't let me daughter run around here like a fùcking slut!" he shot back but his eyes widened , looking remorseful at his choice of words. He opened his mouth to apologize but I had already raised my hand across his face, making his head whipped around.

I can't believe he disrespected me like that.

"You have no fùcking right, at all to call me a damn slút. " my voice cracked, oh no he was getting to me. I was going to burst out in tears any second now, and once I started; I wouldn't stop. He had blatantly disrespected me, he knows how I feel about that word. Daniel was throwing it around like it was okay, he doesn't know what the hell was going on in Justin and I's relationship. He will never know. "Just because you're ignorant to the situation doesn't mean you have to automatically judge."

"Sequoia I'm -"

"Sorry? Yeah I don't care. Get the hell out Daniel."

Daniel looked stunned, he had officially pissed me off and he knew he fucked up. He knew it. "Princess please," he nearly begged, I shook my head and pointed to the door. "Just hear me out, I didn't me-"

I sighed heavily before clenching my fist, "Get the fùck out Daniel! " I all but yelled at him, I yelled at Daniel, all while looking into his eyes. I knew mine had darkened, a sign of anger, I wasn't even angry. I was fùcking furious, how dare he?

I thought friends were supposed to give advice

Helpful advice

Not just pure judgment, that is wrong.

Daniel's head hung low as he slowly made his way over to the door, he twisted the handle and opened it. Looking back one last time before shaking his head at me, he stepped out and slammed the door behind him. I was met with dead silence now, and I was okay with it because I needed time to think about what just happened.

Why is everything so stressful?

***

Later in the day I was just getting off work, it was at least 5pm but it was pitch black due to the change of time during the winter season. Personally I hated it, I remember waking up to my alarm clock in college and being late for my class because I forgot to set my clock back. I missed the exam we took in there and ended up failing that class, having to pay for it all over again. God my mother was pissed off at me, she threatened to fly over here and personally give me an ass beating.

I was scared, just so you know.

I laughed at the memory as I walked to my car in the parking lot, I hated being the last one to leave; I get paranoid and I assume something is lurking in the shadows but its not. Its always just my imagination, I convince myself that all the time. I turn my head to check my surroundings before unlocking my car and getting in, I checked the back seat to see if there was a predator back there.

There was nothing, so I started the car, just as I was about to pull off there was a loud bang and my back window shattered causing me to scream and stop the car. There was glass covering my hair but none got into my skin "What the fùck?" I say out loud, I get out the car just as another vehicle with screeching tires sped off. I was shaking as walked around to check my window, there was a large brick with something attached to it .

Don't touch it

Leave it there and call the police

But that isn't what I did, I stuck my shaking hand out and pulled the paper off that was attached to it. It was folded in half so I slowly lifted it open, afraid of what I might see. My eyes widen as I read the paper, in big bold letters it said:

stay away home wrecking slut!

I visibly shook, I knew who it was and it was obvious but why would she go to extremes to wait for me after work? I didn't care about that anyway, my mind can't grasp the fact that she knows about everything. She knows what I do with her husband,

Penelope knows.
