Sequoia

Justin has been avoiding me since Saturday, its now Tuesday and I was getting worried. Did I even do anything wrong? Since Saturday, he's been ignoring my texts and I knew it because he'd read them but not reply. I didn't want to seem too clingy so I just stopped texting him, if he didn't want to talk to me then fùck him.

"Alright, I'm tired of this silence. What's wrong with you?" Daniel asked, his eyes were on me now that we stopped at a red light. We were going for lunch, and this time I got to pick, well he didn't exactly let me choose. I kind of threatened to ruin his chance with every female he ever encountered if he didn't let me pick where we got lunch from today.

"Nothing," I lied, everything was wrong; Justin was ignoring me, cramps are literally killing me and I'm annoyed. Being ignored while on your period is the worst feeling ever, I want to curl up in a corner and cry but then again I want to go smash Justin's windows open. I'm so god damn confused."I'm completely fine."

"Mmm oh my god, stop fuckin' lying." this is the fourth time he's said this to me all day and its still funny enough to make me crack a small smile. "seriously, I know there's something wrong. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to but just know I'll beat the fùck out of whoever did something to make you upset."

Beat Justin please

"Thanks danny," Daniel smiled at me and turned his attention back to the traffic that began to move again. I stared out the window at the passing figures as we drove in silence, the only thing that could be heard was the hum of the engine. Sighing inaudibly, I slid my hand into my right jean pocket to retrieve my phone.

I know, I'm being an idiot right now but I couldn't help but press Justin and I's messages that were exchanged. Well, it was mostly messages that were sent by me they all consisted of Justin hello? Or I know you're ignoring me.

So I decide to shoot him another text, and this will be the last one because I don't need to sit around and be sad. I've had a change of mindset, If he wants to ignore me then fùck him , I don't cry over boys.

To little bítch (1:34pm):

Look, I don't know what girl you think I am but you seriously got me fùcked up. I'm starting to think there is something wrong with you, first you start acting weird on saturday then You leave me on read every time I text you.. if you're cheating on me then you can just kiss me and your precious little car you have goodbye, best believe I will trash that bítch. I don't care if you are a cop, fuck you and your so called authority.

I pressed send and looked up from my phone, I hadn't even noticed we stopped. Daniel was staring at me with an amused expression on his face, I raised my eyebrow at him because I wanted to know what the hell was so funny."You done assaulting your phone yet?" he asked, tilting his head to the side a bit. I rolled my eyes and smirked abit , he had just witnessed me angry text."You're better off punching your screen next time"

"Oh shut up, I was .......expressing myself." I chuckled as I slid my phone into my pocket, I looked out the window and noticed that we were at my favorite restaurant. Lafette's The one that I mistakingly ended up at one day when I first moved to Miami, it was surprisingly close to my job and it was only a ten minute walk from the beach. People were walking by with smiles on their faces and here I am, frowning at them from inside a 2015 Chevy Malibu.

"Come on princess, we don't have all day." Daniel grumbled playfully, I narrowed my eyes at him and pushed open the car door. Daniel came around the car quickly and stood on the edge of the curve, offering his hand to me with a goofy smile. "m'lady."

I shook my at head smiling softly and placing my hand in his, I swear I saw his eyes light up, he's such an idiot. "you're too nice." I commented as we made our way into the restaurant after he made sure his car was locked. Daniel shrugged and held the door open for me, I thanked him quietly. I scanned the restaurant for a place to sit, it wasn't that packed so I chose the booth by the window.

"You know I hate booths, men don't scoot into booths." Daniel joked as he slid into the seat acroos from me, I rolled my eyes playfully and reached across the table to retrieve a menu but Daniel stopped me by grabbing my hand. "Ah ah ah, I wanna know who and why you were so called 'Angry texting'."

"Quit playin' daniel, I'm starving and you said it yourself that we don't have much time."

"I don't care, I wanna know why you were upset and we're not eating nor leaving until you speak."

This boy is crazy if he thinks I'll listen to him, I'm hungry and when I'm hungry I need food. If I don't get food then I will be fighting somebody and today, that somebody will be daniel if he doesn't move his pasty ass hands. "I'm serious Sequoia "

My mouth opened slightly and I looked at him like he was crazy, is he really trying to , key word; trying, threaten me? "I thought you said I didn't have to tell you!" I pointed out, because he knew not to pressure me into telling him something I don't want to tell him. "Don't take back your words either."

Daniel sighed and held my hands in his, he looked me dead in my eyes with his blue ones. "I know I told you not to tell me but now, I wanna know. If it bothers you, it bothers me. You're my bestfriend. " I bit the corner of my lip and looked at our intertwined hands.

Maybe I should just tell him I mean, he's my friend and has been for the longest. He and Jade were the ones that helped me when I first moved to the state, they were almost like a second family while half my family stayed in Europe and some in Maine. He's the one (despite the sexual comments made to me) that really listened to my rants whenever fota got on my nerves.

maybe he should know

"Its ju-" I started but someone coughed falsely next to me, I turned my head to see a familiar fùck boy next to me; dressed in his usual uniform. Why do we always bump into each other no matter what?

"Oh hey man," Daniel greeted Justin with a friendly smile. Justin was glaring at me and Daniel's hands that were together, I slowly pulled away and placed my hands into my lap.

"Daniel," Justin said simply , giving him a nod. His voice was hard and cold, I nearly shivered when he said his name. "hello sequoia." he spoke formally, he glared at me and I gave him a blank look then nodded my head just like he did to daniel. "mind if I sit?"

"No," "yes" Daniel and I spoke up at the same time, Justin rose his eyebrow at us and darted his eyes between us.

"Go ahead man, we don't mind."

Justin glanced at us weirdly before having a seat directly next me, like his thigh touch my thigh. I groaned inwardly and reached across the table for a menu, Daniel looked at me for a second then shook his head.

what?

"so Justin, what are you doing over here?" I heard Daniel ask while I had my face in the menu, trying to block out whatever conversation they were starting.

"I was on duty, its my break now." my eyes scanned over the sandwich part of the menu but I felt a pair of eyes on me. Probably justin, so I just ignored it and looked for something to order. "But I saw my girlfriend in here so I decided to join. And I thought it was a perfect coincidence because I haven't seen her in days."

You haven't even made an effort to see me or fucking contact me, dumb ass boy.

Let me just breathe

Breathe Sequoia, breathe.

"Sequoia , you alright over there?" Daniel asked, looking at how tight I was gripping the menu in my hands.

"yeah, I am, uh," I loosened my grip on the plastic and smiled falsely, I felt Justin's eyes burning into the side of my face as I looked at Daniel
"I'm fine, just thinking." I mumble, sitting the menu on the black wooded table in front of me.

"When are you we gonna have that conversation? "

"Never,"

"But I -"

"Just drop it daniel, damn." I snapped cutting him off, but soon after I felt bad for doing that because a flash of hurt was visible in his eyes. I'm such a bitch, I'm going to burst into tears any second now.

The table was silent for a second but justin soon spoke up "Would you mind if I step out with Sequoia for a second,Daniel? "

No

"Sure, she's your girlfriend dude. Have her." Daniel replied, throwing up his hands dismissively. Not like he cared anyway, I just snapped on him and knowing daniel he won't care about me until I apologize.

Justin slid out of the booth and stood up, I slid towards the end hesitantly and he offered his hand out to me. I ignored it and for up on my own, Justin chuckled and shook his head at my childishness. There's more where that came from. He led me out side of the restaurant, it was basically the side of the building almost like an alley where no one could see us.

"So you wanna tell me why the fùck you were holding hands with Daniel in there?" Justin spoke up immediately, I rolled my eyes and pressed my back against the brick wall without responding to him. "huh? You two looked like the perfect couple, honestly." he said sarcastically , I continued to stay silent because I'm currently racking up the receipts in my head. "seriously, you're gonna do me like that because I ignored you for a few days?!"

I looked down at my nails then up at him "Are you done yet?" I asked giving him a toothless grin, Justin scoffed and shrugged his shoulders quickly. "You done? Yeah ? Okay well Mr. Bieber. I'm glad you openly admitted to ignoring me, well done." And could feel the anger build up within me. "And purposely ignoring your own girlfriend seems pretty shitty, hm?"

"I had to, you were getting....clingy!" Justin exclaimed before I could give him a piece of my mind, I furrowed my brows at him as he stuffed his hands into his pockets and avoided looking me in the eyes. Me? Clingy? "You wouldn't leave me alone, I wanna chill sometimes!"

I'm not fùcking clingy, I don't even try to be around him half the time. He's the one showing up at my condo unannounced half the time, he's the one that's clingy but do I complain ? Hell no.

"me? Clingy? You have all the fùcking nerve, you really are an asshole. " I scoffed, then shook my head. "if you want to be left alone, then tell me. Im not gonna blow up because you want a few days to yourself, you fùcking--ugh! " I nearly yelled as I threw my hands around.

"Baby, chill."

My eyebrows shot up and I tilted my head slightly, chill? I should chill? Does he not know that telling a woman to chill while she's upset is like signing your own death certificate?

"Justin, how exactly am I supposed to chill when you call me clingy?"

"I didn't mean it like that its just- I don't know how to say this but - I made that up." he stumbled over his words, his walkie that was on his shoulder began to talk but he groaned and immediately shut it off. "I just needed something to say because I knew you were about to go off on me and as much as I love how sexy you look when you're mad, I didn't want to be ; as people say nowadays dragged."

Well, he is right. I was going to drag him before he cut me off but I still wanna know why he was ignoring me.

"So if I wasn't clingy then why'd you ignore me for 3 days straight?" I asked as I folded my arms under my chest.

"I was really busy, Saturday I got a call from the sergent and supposably I'm being promoted up to an investigator. " Justin's eyes lit up in excitement, and honestly I was excited too. I gasped and wrapped my arms around Justin's torso, I completely forgot why I was mad at him in the first place.

"oh my god, why didn't you tell me?!" I asked, pulling away from his hug and grabbing his jaw to bring him down to my level.

Justin chuckled and shrugged his shoulders a bit, "It was supposed to be a surprise but things didn't go as planned, instead I found my girl holding hands with her 'bestfriend' " suddenly I felt bad for cussing him out and being bitter for a few days. He wasn't cheating, he was actually busy.

That's a first

"I'm sorry baby, I'm so sorry " I mumbled as I pressed my lips against his repeatedly. "I was a bítch, wow I feel bad."

"it's fine doll, honestly you had all the right to be a bítch. " he smirked and placed his large hands on to my hips. "bïtchy sequoia is hot, and amusing. That last text you sent was the best part, you're gonna trash my car? Really?"

I mumbled oh god as my cheeks heated up in embarrassment, Justin laughed and pinched my cheeks. Out of all the texts I sent him, he points that one out."I'm sorry, again." I laughed , pulling him down again and kissing his lips slowly. This time before I could pull away, justin held my body close to his. His hand trailed up my back and cuffed the back of my head to deepen the kiss, the force made me whimper. My hands ended up tangled within his brown locks, I gripped it tightly when Justin pulled away and trailed kisses down my neck.

"Fück," he cursed against my neck, my breathing was heavy and my hormones were wild. Too bad I couldn't have sex, periods are the worst. "I shouldn't be kissing you like this, its hard to control myself after I get a taste of you."

"I know, they can't get enough of me." I boasted playfully but I soon regretted it when justin lifted his head and gave me a look that screamed who the fùck is they? "Kidding baby."

"Better be, now let's go we don't wanna keep your friend waiting."

From Justin 3:56pm:

Sorry I can't make it doll, caught up at work. Just don't go,please

I groaned as I read the text, Justin had laid off going to the barbeque with me for some reason. Now I had to deal with Penelope by myself, I really didn't want to but it had to be done or she wouldn't leave me alone.

To Justin:
I'm going whether you like it or not, you can't control me.

I pulled down my crop top so that it wouldn't rise up as much, lord knows what kind of people Penelope associated herself with. I wouldn't want them judging me already because I chose white wedges, black jeans, and a simple white crop top. This looked like an extremely expensive neighborhood anyway, so I had a feeling they would be stuck up no matter how I looked.

I took a deep breath before I rung the doorbell, I stood on the steps quietly while I heard talking followed by footsteps. Moments later, the door flung open and Penelope was standing there with a huge smile on her face.

"Sequoia! Hi!" she greeted my excitedly, Penelope stepped aside and let me into her home. Calling it beautiful would be an understatement, it literally put my condo to shame. They had chandeliers , fùcking chandeliers. Whoever Penelope's husband had to be getting paid a great amount of money.

"Your home is beautiful, " I told her as she shut the door and stood beside me.

"Thank you, Justin let me decorate it." she stated proudly, I felt her hand on my shoulder and I wanted to knock it off but I'm supposed to be nice. "Where's your boyfriend? "

"He's caught up with work, he recently got a promotion so I guess he'll be extremely busy." I shrugged, Penelope nodded understanding my struggle.

"My friends are in the back, come!" Penelope exclaimed, Pulling through sliding doors that led us out to the backyard. There were almost a lot of people and they were sectioned off like some cliché suburban scene. The men, or husbands were huddled around a grill and the women were sitting at a table with wine glasses in their hands. "Guys this is Sequoia a friend of mine."

The women all looked up at me, they all took in my appearance some of them looked envious others were looking at me as if I were disgusting. All except one, she was a small lady and she looked exactly like someone I knew.

"Hello, " I smiled politely at them, they all smiled fasely. Penelope then ushered me over to a seat that was next to a familiar looking woman then sat with me.

"Oh! Sequoia, this beautiful woman beside you is my mother in law. Pattie mallette."

Mother in law? She looked so young, like she couldn't be Penelope's husband's mother.

"Hi I'm sequoia smith," I held out my hand for her to shake and she gladly took it with a warm smile.

"nice to meet a new face and a new name, I've never heard of a name such as Sequoia. It's beautiful. " she complimented me , I thanked her and turned to Penelope's friends who were having an interesting conversation.

"I just think that if you're getting cheated on, you should leave the scumbag. " a red head told the table, discreetly looking at Penelope who was downing another glass of wine by now. "I mean why would you stick around and let yourself suffer."

The other women agreed and I couldn't help but think they were shading Penelope in her face. And the killer part about it was Penelope stayed silent.

Speak up hoe

"I agree with Kathy, like you know and everyone knows your husband is cheating so why are you throwing events that he isn't even attending? " a brunette spoke up this time, she cut her eyes at Penelope and the only thing penelope did was pour herself more wine. "Its obvious, some women are pathetic."

Alright this is enough.

"I just think it isn't any of you guys business." I said, sitting up straight as everyone's attention turned to me. "maybe everyone should stay in there lane and worry about their own husband because I'm sure that he's fùcking the nanny or probably fùcking your younger sister." I shrugged and smirked as they all gasped at my choice of words. "Or worse, their secretary! " I gasped fakely, bring my hand up to cover my mouth.

"How would you know? , you're only about 20 and I'm sure you wouldn't know the first thing about marriage." Kathy the red head glared at me from across the table, everyone mumbled yeahs and what not. "you probably only have a boyfriend, you know nothing about marriage. "

"True, true. But I do know how to deal with nosey bïtches and I do know how to keep them in their lane. " I smiled sarcastically then turned to pattie who seemed to be the only one holding a genuine amused smile. "Sorry for my language Ms. Mallette." she waved me off dismissively and laughed, telling me they needed it. "Penelope, where's your restroom ?"

"Up the stairs to your left. " she mumbled , I nodded and stood up but penelope quickly grabbed my wrist before I could get far. "Thank you, for defending me." she said softly, I gave her a sympathetic smile and stepped out of her grip.

I feel bad for Penelope, how can she let her so called friends shade her? What kind of shít is that?

I shook my head as I stepped through the sliding doors, my wedges hit the marble floors as I walked through the living room in which the men had moved to. They were chatting with each other quietly and I tried to walk pass them but of course they all stared. I rolled my eyes and made my way up the stairs that were decorated with pictures of penelope and family. But there was one that caught my eye, it was her wedding picture.

Penelope was dressed in a beautiful white dress with a huge smile on her face, she looked genuinely happy. The guy next to her held a straight face actually it was almost a scowl, I squinted my eyes and moved my face closer to the frame because he looked familiar. Too familiar.

Then it hit me.

"Oh my god." I gasped and put my now trembling hand over my mouth in shock, the man in the picture was someone I knew all too well; dressed in an all black tux and his arms draped securely around Penelope's waist.

Officer Justin bieber
