Charlotte's P.O.V
*ten days later - 4th November*
It's been ten days since I had moved away from Justin's house. My home. I really missed it but living with Scooter and his family wasn't bad at all. In fact, I had a lot of fun with his family and I was away from Social Media the whole time. I really didn't wanted to go on any Social Media and then read something which would upset me so I just decided to stay away from it.
But I couldn't help but miss Justin.
I missed his touch. I missed his lips. I missed his kisses. I missed him joking about everything and anything. I missed him spanking and squeezing my ass, as weird and odd that sounds but I did. I missed everything about him.
I really missed him.
And I grew really upset when I heard Justin cry on the phone few nights ago. It broke my heart knowing that he was hurting and there was no one to comfort him. It really broke my heart knowing that he was crying and felt hated. I just wanted to hold him and comfort him. He is such a beautiful person and yet people try to make him look bad.
But today was the day.
Today I was meeting with Justin after ten fucking days. After ten days, the whole situation had a little bit cooled down. It had not cooled down completely but it was enough for us to talk about it.
I was so happy and excited to meet Justin again. I just wanted to hug him tightly and kiss him. I wanted to let him know that I would always be there for him and I love him.
And not only that, me and Justin were filming today. We were going to talk about our situation and why my custody was changed and then it would be going on YouTube on Justin's channel. We didn't want to say it through Instagram live where only few people would watch and know. We didn't wanted only few people to listen our words and explanations. If we do it on YouTube then everyone would know the way we had spoken and what we had spoken. Nobody would be able to say something that we didn't say because they simply can search up the video and watch it whenever they want and know every single thing that we had mention in it.
I still couldn't believe that we would be able to talk about us in front of everyone without any problem or being scared and worried.
I WAS SO EXCITED! TO MEET HIM! TO TELL EVERYONE ABOUT US!
My heart was pounding with excitement which had managed to consume me as the time has passed. I was smiling from ear to ear. I could feel my skin tingling with excitement as I fixed my black dress once again and then fixed my hair, feeling my scalps being pulled a little as I run my fingers through them to loose the knots.

I took a deep breath to prepare myself. I was nervous for the filming. Not because I would be lying or something but I didn't wanted to say something that was unnecessary and shutter in between.
"It's nothing difficult. Just be yourself." I gave myself a small pep talk before walking out of the bathroom, that was in the changing room. What I wasn't expecting was Justin standing in front of me in his grey Armani suit, wearing a big smile on his face.
A huge smile immediately took over my face as I squealed and didn't waste any other second before jumping into his arms and kissing his precious plump lips. I felt his hand move underneath my ass cheeks as he picked me up as we kissed.
We both smiled as we moved our lips together in sync. Butterflies erupt in my stomach and I had this tingling feeling in my stomach as we kissed. I felt like I was being loved after a long time.
"I missed you so much." We both said in unison and then giggled. "Gosh, I missed that smile of yours so much." Justin said kissing my cheek and I blushed. "I missed your smile too. Especially these cute dimples." I coo'ed, poking his dimple. He smiled cutely, showing off his cute dimples before pecking my lips.
"Justin are you going to put her back down on her feet or no?" We heard Alfredo say making us turn our heads and look at him standing on the door. I could feel my cheeks heating up as I saw him smirking at us. "Nah. I'm really enjoying it." Justin said kissing my cheek again making me giggle.
"By the way, they all are calling you for the filming." Alfredo smirked before walking away. I hoped Justin to put me back down on my feet but I definitely wasn't expecting him walking with me still in his arms, hanging onto his neck like a koala bear.
"Justin put me down." I giggled trying to kick my legs to get back down but he simply shook his head with a cute smile on his face.
"Jay." I whined but he kissed my lips before kissing my cheek again and continued walking.
Everyone started chuckling and laughing when they saw Justin carrying me. On one hand, I was blushing like crazy while on the other hand, Justin had a proud smile on his face.
He put me down on the white couch where we would be sitting down while filming. There was a whole set up, we can say. There was a little yellowish color wall behind us and a couch was in front for us to sit down. The background was simple but cute.
I playfully rolled my eyes and stood up to adjust my dress and then sat back down as Justin sat down beside me.
"Okay guys, let's be serious. We need that right now." Scooter said and I nodded and sighed. "One second." Justin said. "What is wrong?" Scooter asked. "I need my good luck kiss first." Justin said making me blush again while everyone chuckled. "Come here love." Justin said and pulled me close to him as he captured his lips with mine. But this kiss wasn't as long as our usual kisses. It was cute and was of about few seconds.
"Okay I'm ready now." Justin said sitting back down straight and I playfully rolled my eyes at him again.
I adjusted myself on my seat and sighed.
This was it.
When they start recording, Justin and I will introduce ourselves, even when everyone knows who we are. We would talk about few things and then make the announcement of us being together.
The thing is, after we are done with the video, it would be going on Justin's YouTube channel, things won't be the same. Things would definitely change and we both had been known. No doubt but when our fans see that Justin had uploaded a new video, titled "Huge Announcement", they will click it, watch it, listen to our words carefully, and hopefully smile and support us. But who knows what reactions we would get.
We both knew some people would be mad at us, some of our fans would be mad at us, and we might even lose a couple of them. But all we need is the love and support of our true fans who would be happy for us.
"Ready?"
"Not really." I chuckled but still gave a confident nod to proceed. After few seconds, Scooter gave us a thumbs up.
"Hey guys, it's Justin Bieber here with..." Justin gestured me to speak. "Charlotte... Braun." I smiled feeling Justin starting at my face. "Don't stare at me like that, I still have got a habit of saying Bieber as my last name." I said and he chuckled before looking back at the camera.
"We are here to address this whole custody situation. We know you all were confused the whole time and were asking us to talk about it." Justin said. "Before starting, we request you to watch the whole video. Please don't skip it just to know why this happened." I said and Justin nodded.
"So, We even saw your reactions towards the situation. Some of you were postive, some of you were confused, some of you were mad while some of you called Charlotte a bitch and said you were happy this had happened because she was using me." Justin said and I turned to glare at him for a split second.
My heart sank a little.
They said... that?
"We even heard a rumor, people were making assumptions about how this happened because Justin used to abuse me and someone caught him doing that." I said and Justin looked as if he was going to cry. I secretly grabbed his hand and gave it a squeeze. "I want to make things clear. Justin had never ever abused me. He had never raised his hands on me. In fact, he was the one who made me felt loved. He respects me, takes care of me and cherish me. I don't even know how someone had this sick thought in their mind when you can clearly see how good Justin is to me." I said and I could see Justin smiling at me from the corner of my eye.
"Most of you know why I adopted Charlotte in the first place. But I will let you all know again. Charlotte and I had known each other since she was a newborn baby. My parents and her parents were friends and were neighbours that how we both know each other. Even when I got famous and came to LA, we used to call each other and meet a lot. She's my best friend. But when Charlotte was seven,
her family died in a plane crash. We had never spoken about it in brief but what happened was that Charlotte had come to accompany me on the Believe Tour when her school breaks were going on. She came a little early with Alfredo who went to pick her up from Canada to surprise me with her. And after five days, her family were in the flight to come to LA but unfortunately the parts of the plane were faulty and they couldn't make it." Justin explore and I could feel my eyes getting glossy. I bite my tongue so I won't let out an accidental sob. But what I didn't knew was that Justin had noticed me getting emotional. He squeezed my hand that was holding his and started caressing my knuckles with his thumb.
"There wasn't any close family member who could be Charlotte's legal guardian and when the people from the orphanage came to take her with them, I freaked out. I had literally got a panic attack and I was freaking out over the fact that she would be taken away from me. I remember having these thoughts, like what if her foster parents doesn't like me? What if they don't let me see her? I was scared to let go off her so I did what first came into my mind. I was eighteen and legal so I took her custody. I adopted her." Justin finished.
"And now the announcement that you all had been waiting for." I said. "Before saying anything, please be respectful. Sending hate wouldn't make you a true fan because you are basically saying that you are mad over our happiness. We both have a life too and we have every right to live it. I love my work so does Charlotte but after all we both are human. We are bound to experience things like falling in love, find that special someone with whom we would be settling down, having children and start a family. I know you all will too because that how everything works. That's how the life works. And you guys are our family and family doesn't hate on each other." Justin said and I nodded.
"From the reactions that we both got from you all, we also read some of you saying that you strongly believe that we both are in love and that's why my custody was changed, so we both could be with each other; freely. You said that whenever you see us, you see the love between us." I smiled.
"And we are really happy to say this." I smiled and looked at Justin who smiled back at me.
"We both are in love and we are happy together." We both said in unison and smiled.
****
We were done with the filming and it was being edited a little because when Justin kissed me, the camera was on and it also got recorded. I blushed so hard when I saw us kissing in the video. And we obviously couldn't have a clip of us kissing in the starting of the video, now can we?
So here I was with Justin and some of the guys from the crew.
"Okay so we can play a game." Justin clapped his hands together and I looked at him confused. "What game are you exactly talking about?" I asked confused.
"It's called "Don't Smash The Wrong Mystery Box"." Justin said and I playfully rolled my eyes. "You got that from YouTube, didn't ya?" I smirked. "It doesn't matter." Justin innocently shrugged and I giggled. "So this is how the game works. So you will start out picking one mystery box which you feels is the right one. And then you will smash the rest of the wrong boxes. Whichever box you will smash, you cannot keep the gift that is inside them. So hopefully you will choose the right one." Justin said and I smiled. I swear, I wasn't expecting that at all.
"Here you go." Justin said handing me the candy cane which made me laugh.
"Why do you have this? It isn't Christmas yet." I giggled. "It's your early Christmas gift." Justin said and I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, early Christmas gift before one month of Christmas." I said. "Then it's your... earliest, yeah, earliest Christmas gift." Justin said proudly and I chuckled.
"Can they help me?" I asked referring to the guys while leaning against the candy cane. "Yeah they can. But you cannot choose two boxes. Just one. And when there are only two wrong boxes left, if you want you can switch them with yours." He said and I nodded. "You all better help me." I said glaring at the guys and they laughed.
"Okay so now you choose. Just so you know every box has a very special gift inside them so choose wisely. " Justin said. I turned and glared at the boxes. They all were wrapped up nicely, giving me Christmas vibes.
"Alexa play Mistletoe by Justin Bieber." I said and everyone started laughing. "It's giving me Christmas vibes so you cannot blame me." I added with a small giggle and Justin kissed my temple while laughing.
"Okay okay." I sighed after the laughter had died down.
"Umm, my favourite and lucky numbers are six and eight." I said glaring back and forth between the sixth number and eighth number boxes. "Which one should I choose?" I asked looking back at everyone and Justin just shrugged his shoulders and I narrowed my eyes at him.
"I would go with eight if I was you." Alfredo said and everyone else agreed with him. I smiled. "I......I will take the eighth one then. Can't I just feel what's inside?" I asked. "That would be cheating." Justin chuckled and shook his head. "No, I mean like just feel it's weight." I said and he kept staring at me for few seconds and then nodded.
He put the box in front of me. "Take this please." I said referring to the candy cane and Alfredo took it from me.
I picked it up and felt a very little weight inside. "Damn baby you are strong." Justin said biting his lips and I just chuckled. I put it back down and bite my lips. "I'm literally so confused right now." I said confused and Justin kissed my cheek. I couldn't help but smile a little. I found it adorable how Justin would kiss me every now and then showing me affection.
I kept glaring at each of the boxes in confusion before sighing.
"Okay I will go with eight one." I said. "Okay then." Justin said and put the box I had just chosen away.
"Now smash 'em all." Justin said and I nodded. I took the candy cane from Alfredo before walking over the first box and smashing it in the front.
I bent down and dug my hand in box. I kept moving my hand around for few seconds before finding a small box and taking it out.
"What's this?" I said curiously. The box was small but not too small. From what I was seeing, I felt as if it would be some sort of jewellery. I licked my lips and opened it to see a Rolex Watch.
"It's a Rolex Watch." I said. "I don't need that so..." I said putting it on the table.
"You sure you don't need that?" Ryan asked and I shook my head. "Well, it's a men watch so I'll take it." He said and I chuckled before giving it to him. "Damn that's cool." He said opening up the box. "Why did you buy a men's watch though?" He asked Justin while chuckling.
"I don't remember it now dude. I was planning onto doing this from like three days." Justin laughed. "Earliest Christmas gift." I smirked making Justin glare at me.
I blow him a kiss and he grinned widely.
"I wanna smash the third one next." I said and Justin nodded. "Go ahead baby but be gentle. You acted like a puma when you where smashing the first one." He chuckled and I gave him a small grin.
I smashed it and leaned down to look inside but it was too dark for me to figure out what it was. I put my hand inside to touch it only to hiss a little and pull my hand away.
"What is in there?" I said looking up at Justin with my mouth wide open. "Is that a snake or something?" I said and my eyes widened. "Oh hell naw." I quickly added before moving further away from the box. "I'm not touching whatever it is." I shook my head making everyone laugh. I was really terrified of snakes and I even had very bad nightmares about them. "It's nothing." Justin laughed. "I don't trust you with this. I'm not touching it, that's it." I stubbornly shook my head. "Want me to get for you?" He asked and I innocently nodded while glaring at the box. "Why are you so cute?" He awe'ed and immediately my cheeks heat up as I innocently shrugged.
He just chuckled at my reaction before bending down and taking out
a... pineapple. "You were scared of a pineapple?" Alfredo started laughing hard.
"Why did you put that in it?" I said while staring at the pineapple. Everyone one was laughing harder by now and was making fun of me about how I got scared of a freaking pineapple.
"Stop you all." I whined.
Further, I smashed box no. two which had an Apple TV in it, box no. seven had chocolates in it, box no. five had an XBOX in it.
"Can't I just switch out?" I asked turning back to Justin. "You can if you want but I won't recommend it." Justin shrugged. "What do you mean you won't recommend it?" I said, staring at him and he just shrugged. "Justin." I lowly whined.
No response.
"Okay whatever." I playfully rolled my eyes and then I smashed box no. four which had some cute sunglasses in them. "These are cute." I said while putting them on. "But sadly you cannot have them." Justin smirked, taking them away from me and I rolled my eyes at him.
"I wonder what's in box no. six as it is my lucky number." I bite my lips. "Are you gonna switch?" Alfredo asked curiously and nervously and I shook my head. But why was he nervous? "Nah. I said that because I'm curious to find out what's in it." I elaborated my previous comment. "Okay." I sighed and lifted the candy cane and smashed the sixth box with it.
I then put it aside and bend down and saw a huge box inside. I look up at the boys before taking the box out.
I gasped when I saw that it was of Gucci. "Justin." I said with my mouth wide open. "Can I see what's inside?" I asked still amazed. "You can open it." He said. I eagerly took the box and sat down. I then opened the box and my jaw dropped when I saw a VERY beautiful Gucci bag. I look up at Justin who was trying to hold his laughter. "I don't get to keep this?" I asked Justin while staring at him with my puppy dog eyes. "I'm sorry baby but no." He said looking away and I pouted before looking back down at the bag. "It's so pretty." I said while running my hand through the bag.
"You still cannot keep it." Justin said and I glared at him. "This is a game and it's all about choosing the right box." He added and I chuckled. "Okay let me just see what's in the eighth one." I said putting the box away and standing up.
I grabbed the candy cane and Justin put the eighth box in front of me. I swear, if it doesn't have something good, I'm gonna throw fists.
I was glaring at the box as if I could see what's inside without smashing it.
I slowly nodded to myself before smashing the box. "Take this please and I swear if it has something ridiculous, I'm gonna beat you all." I said Alfredo laughed as he was taking the candy cane from me.
I leaned down and saw a file. I frowned my eyebrows in confusion before taking it out.
It was a big black folder and I look over at Justin in confusion. "Look inside." He smiled and I sat back down. I slowly opened it and saw few documents. "What is this?" I murmured. I took the papers out and started reading whatever was written on them.
Soon my eyes widened as I read the same line over and over again. My jaw dropped as I look back up at Justin. "You bought a NEW house!?" I said loudly and he smiled.
"I bought us a new house." He said and I covered my mouth with my hand. "You bought US a new house!?" I said again and he laughed and hugged me tightly. But then realisation hit me. I cannot stay with Justin just yet so why? "How--but we cannot stay together for now." I said softly. "It'll take time to get done. By then you'll be legal." He kissed my nose and I squealed before hugging him tightly.
"You didn't have to but thank you so much." I said capturing his lips with mine, pulling him into a short but passionate kiss. "I love you." I mumbled against his lips before pulling away.
"I love you too." Justin kissed my forehead.
_____________
After Justin had surprised me with the papers of our new house, we both had watched the video before it was uploaded on YouTube and everything was perfect in it. We had posted on our social media about the video but we still haven't told everyone the reason there. The caption just said how there was a huge announcement posted on Justin's YouTube channel.
Now we were going to a restaurant to have dinner. "How did you know I would choose the eighth box?" I asked Justin. If it was all about a game then how everyone was so sure I would choose the eighth one. "Because I know you. I knew you would chose sixth or eighth box. And everyone knew about the surprise, so all of them were suggesting you to pick the eighth one and you did." Justin said and I smiled softly.
"Why are you so good to me?" I chuckled and he smiled before pecking my lips. "Because I love you and you deserve it." He said and I kissed him again.
****
I was almost done eating my dinner until I heard the familiar melody of guitar. I frowned my eyebrows in confusion before looking behind me from where the sound was coming from.
What I wasn't expecting at all was Justin playing guitar in front of me with a huge smile on his face.
I feel like I just had a Deja vu.
"Justin." I gasped before smiling softly when he started singing That's What Love Is in his angelic voice.
Ooh, and I can feel you
Even though I haven't touched you
Yeah, that's what love is
That's what true love is
Wouldn't want nobody else by my side
Everyone had their cameras and flashlights turned on by now and they were all filming us.
Ooh, and you can trust me
After all the lies I told you
Yeah, that's what love is
That's what true love is
Don't nobody else deserve my time
He sat down beside me while singing and smiling at me in the between. My heart fluttered as I listen him singing that song to me. I couldn't help but smile ear from ear because nobody had ever serenade to me and I felt like the luckiest girl in the world right now.
I reach out to you
But my hands can't hold enough
Enough of your greatness
You teach me patience
Like the best of our worlds collide
Never understood what it meant
It meant to submit to love
So beyond what lust is
Hey, it's a blessing that you're in my life
Make me look even better
When we shine, we shine together
Yeah, that's what love is
Now, that's what love is
Don't nobody else deserve my eyes
When you demand my presence, it's hard to read the message
I stay on the defense, to take away your leverage
'Til you put it in perspective
Can't help but to respect it
Oh, now, I know what love is
I know what true love is
Yeah, down in my soul
Far more than you know
My self esteem gets low, you lift it right up through the ceiling
Ooh-whoa
Ooh, and I can feel you
Even though I haven't touched you
Yeah, that's what love is
Now, that's what love is
Wouldn't want nobody else by my side
No
My eyes started to get glossy and I wiped away a happy tear that had managed to slip down my eyes.
That's what love is
(Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
That's what love is
(La-la-la-la-la-la)
I appreciate you (ah-ah-ah)
God bless your maker, hey (ah-ah-ah)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
That's what love is
(Ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh)
That's what love is
(La-la-la-la-la-la)
Look at this love
He finished singing and leaned in, capturing his lips with mine pulling me into a long and passionate kiss. I smiled and wrapped my arm around his neck, pulling his body closer to me as we kiss. He put the guitar away before pulling me on his lap as we move our lips together in sync. I closed my eyes, trying to save this moment forever. My love for this man pouring into that one single kiss.
"I love you." We both said in unison when we pulled away from the kiss.
___________
I sighed in relief as the soft fabric of the blanket touched my back. Today was really good but tiring day as hell. We were out the whole day and I wanted nothing more than to just lay down on my comfortable bed and get some good sleep.
I was about to close my eyes when my phone rang letting me know I had a notification. I picked it up from side table and saw that Justin had tagged me in an Instagram Post. I smiled and unlocked my phone before tapping on the app.
I smile wide as I see the post. Why is he so sweet? What did I do to deserve him like this? I just love him so much.
I liked the post and commented on it too.
I sighed in happiness and decided to post one photo too. I don't really post often like Justin who posts almost everyday but I was really feeling like posting one tonight.
It took me few minutes to find some good pictures to post and write a caption and post it. But when it finally got uploaded, I couldn't help but smile.
Instantly likes and comments started pouring on my post. I sighed happily.
As I was about to close the app, my phone rang again but this time Justin had shared a post to me in the direct message.
I opened it and grinned widely when I saw the post and read the caption.
It was positive!
I didn't want to read anything else now so I decided to just close the app and hopefully get some good sleep.
But my eyes landed on a certain icon.
Twitter.
I nervously started biting my lips. An uneasy feeling started settling down in the pit of my stomach and I grew even more nervous as the second past. Should I? Should I check it?
What were people saying about us? What were they saying about the video Justin had posted? It's been a while since we had uploaded the video and I was sure many people had seen it by now.
I tapped on the app with my shaking hand and patiently waited for my timeline to get loaded.
And there it was!
There were thousands of tweets talking about the announcement. I tapped on what's trending and was a little surprised to see many things involving Justin and I.
#Jarlotte
#BiebersAnnouncement
#CharlotteIsCancelled
#JustinIsCancelled
I nervously scrolled down to read some tweets.
@charlottemysaviourbieber :
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS!? IS THIS SOME KIND OF A FUCKIN' JOKE!? THEY AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE IN LOVE! THEY CANNOT BE IN LOVE! TBH I NEVER EXPECTED SOMETHING SO SHITTY LIKE THIS FROM CHARLOTTE. #JarlotteIsCancelled #bitch
Wait w-what?
@biebershoe :
So Justin and Charlotte are together...this is promo. That bitch is just using our innocent baby for fame and money. I hope they never last long.
My heart sank. I--I-
@jarlotteisluv :
Wait what!? My ship is sailing!!! AKEJDOWNSOSNW!!! Fuck yes! They are finally together! They finally realised they are in love! I am so happy for #Jarlotte β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
I found myself smiling through my tears and my aching heart was feeling a little bit better now. It feels good to know that at least one person supports us.
@belieberforlife :
I still don't understand why people would call Justin abusive and Charlotte a bitch? Let's face it guys, at the end of the day, we really don't know them and we have no right to make whatsoever decisions for them. All we can do is to be supportive to them and tell them when they are wrong and at this point whatever they did wasn't wrong. At least they didn't keep us in dark, we should appreciate them not hate them. #Jarlotte #spreadlove
@isupportbieber :
Who does 'Charlotte' think she is!? Manipulating and brainwashing Justin to the point where all he is speaking is nonsense. #CharlotteIsCancelled #backoff #bitch #slut
@SheJustWantsADick :
@charlottebraun i genuinely hope you see this because you deserve to die :)
@justinbeiberismine :
I don't support them #sorrynotsorry because she is just using him #speakingfacts
@bieberismysunshine :
I'm sorry but she is not the right girl for Justin. He deserves someone better not a girl like Charlotte #jussayin
I sighed, scrolling further and further seeing a little love and thousands of hate tweets.
I hated this feeling in my gut. I hated myself at the moment. I... I wasn't the right girl for Justin. I don't deserve his love. I... I don't deserve him.
I was so busy in crying to myself that I haven't even noticed dropping my phone. I was shocked. Sad. I felt so hated.
I'm pretty sure I cried myself to sleep to sleep.
