47. "It's Me."
Guess I'll put on my raincoat, my yellow raincoat
Baby, it's keeping me dry
I put on my raincoat, my yellow raincoat
You know exactly why
Justin's P.O.V
Tick tok. Tick tok. Tick tok. Tick tok.
The ticking of the clock was keeping me up the whole night. I don't know why but I had this uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach. All I wanted was Charlotte next to me.
Maybe I was feeling this way was because I was nervous. Who the hell was I kidding? I AM nervous. I was nervous about the reaction we would get. I was nervous about what our fans would say.
I so badly wanted to check my Social Media which I haven't after I had posted the picture of Charlotte and I on Instagram and then she had posted one too.
I didn't want things to repeat themselves and then cry myself to sleep but I also knew that I won't be able to fall asleep tonight. This thought would keep me awake the whole time.
I let out a long sigh and grabbed my phone. I check the time first which read 1:34 a.m.
Nervously, I unlocked the device and went on Twitter because I knew that sooner or later, I will have to see the fans reactions to the video of Charlotte and I.
I first checked the trends, which most of them were talking about us. There were hastags trending and I saw two of them where both me and Charlotte were being cancelled. What else do they not cancel here!? I swear I won't be surprised if I see #pancakeiscancelled trending on twitter one day. I rolled my eyes and went to check my timeline.
I began to read the first tweet which was positive and actually made me smile.
@lottieownstheworld :
So Justin and Charlotte are together!!! FUCK YES! I'm so happy for them and I cannot wait to see both of them together in the public and fangirl over them! I'm sorry if I'm being too extra and even when we just got to know about them just few hours ago, I cannot help but be excited for them to have a baby together, oops-
Anyways, im so proud of them. They came out and said about being together and didn't keep us in dark. #soproud #Jarlotte
I kept scrolling down and sadly as I did, there were more hate tweets than love. They stated wrong assumptions that Charlotte was using me, it's for promo and we both would never last long. They said how disgusted they were from us and they wished something bad should happen to us and we both should fall apart. I knew I should had stopped reading further but I kept torturing myself by reading every single one of them. I could feel my heart aching and clenching and my stomach was tied in a tight knot.
@lottiethenanny :
I feel so bad about #Jarlotte all of their hard work would be wasted when they break up and hate each other.
@biebersbeliever343 :
Justin is really stupid to fall into that bitch's trap. He need to learn to trust the right people not some gold-ass-digger. #CharlotteIsCancelled
@jerrylover244 :
I'm so disgusted by Justin and Charlotte right now. Like Ew. How can they fucking fall in love with each other!? They were supposed to be father and daughter not lovers. This is just so disgusting and the fact that they are 11 years apart like ew ew ew. I'm UNSTANNING, bye.
@neversayneverever :
I wasn't expecting that, not that I didn't expect it at all because we all had noticed how they always look at each other. There is pure love and nothing else. So @justinbieber and @charlottebraun congratulations โค๏ธ I wish you both nothing but the best :)
I smiled through my tears.
@INeedSomebodyToLove :
TF? Justin and Charlotte are together!? I just lost all respect for both of them. Just leave each other and I might stan you both again.
@idontgivedamn :
I wasn't expecting this from them, things were supposed to be this way. This is fucked up ๐
@supliam23_
That's why Charlotte said no to me when I asked her out. I thought something was wrong but bitch was fucking her adoptive father๐ #slut
I frowned my eyebrows in confusion. He asked her out? Liam. This name sounds familiar but where do I know him from? Have I ever even met him? I kept questioning myself about Liam and then my eyes widened when the realisation hit me. Liam! He asked Charlotte out when we were at the beach. We had that argument because I was mad and jealous of him.
I rolled my eyes while glaring at his tweet. And this guy wanted Charlotte to be his girlfriend who just called her a bitch and a slut.
@bebelivealife :
Wasn't Justin Charlotte's adoptive father? Woah, they are disgusting as hell. Fucking his daughter and shit๐ I hope they don't last long.
@SheJustWantsADick :
@charlottebraun i genuinely hope you see this because you deserve to die :)
My heart dropped and I froze in my spot. I kept staring at those words. My heart was aching more than ever by just reading these what, twelve words. They had offended me more than ever. They were wishing my girl should die? And why? Just because she loves me. Why would someone wish death upon someone else? We never did a sin. Since when falling in love was considered as a sin?
My heart sank and I felt as if I was getting punched in the stomach repeatedly.
My fans hate me. Charlotte's fans hate me. They lost respect for us. And the only way to earn their love and respect back to... let go of each other?
I shook my head at the horrible thought and closed the app. I went to lock my phone but the thought of Charlotte was consuming my mind. Should I call her? I quickly checked the time.
2:04
She must be asleep. I don't want to disturb her sleep but I really needed to hear her soft voice.
Without having any other thought, I went in my contacts and called on Charlotte's phone number. I pressed the device near my ear waiting for my angel to answer the call. I heard the phone ring multiple times until I heard a beautiful voice.
Hey, it's Charlotte! I'm currently not available so please leave a message after the beep. Thank you!
Ugh... fuckin' voicemail. Instead of hanging up, I decided to leave a voicemail for her. Hopefully she'll listen to it when she wakes up. After hearing the beep, I began to speak.
"Hey angel, it's me... Justin. I know it's late but I just want to make sure if you are okay because I'm getting worried about you. I don't know if you had check any of your social media or not but just so you know I love you! I love you so much and I'm not going anywhere. Please remember that... I love you. A lot!" I spoke in a soft voice before hanging up and tossing the phone away somewhere next to me.
I took in a shaky breath and wiped away my tears but it was of no use as they kept coming back.
____________
*next day*
I bite my bottom lip nervously as I was getting out of the car. I was currently in front of Scooter's house and the afternoon sun was shining so brightly making me just close my eyes for a split second. I was exhausted because I haven't got any sleep last night but I couldn't be happier to be here because I was missing Charlotte. I was really nervous because she won't answer to my calls nor my texts. I know I may be acting a little bit extra but the thing is, we always used to talk on the phone in the morning but I recieved no calls today morning nor she picked up the call when I was calling her. I was really worried and nervous to see her but that doesn't mean I didn't wanted to see her because I do. I really wanted to see her. I wanted to touch her. I wanted to hug her. I wanted to kiss her. I just want her to be alright and know that I am always with her, I'm not going anywhere.
I walked towards the front door and nervously rang the doorbell then stepped back, waiting for someone to answer the door.
After a couple of seconds, the door swung open revealing Scooter with a worried expression on his face and his phone in his hand. He looked at me and his eyes brightened.
"Thank God it's you. I was just dialing your number to call you." He said pulling me into a quick hug before letting me in.
"Are you okay? You look really worried." I asked.
"Today isn't just a great day." He sighed. "Did something happen? Are you okay? Is Charlotte okay? Is she here?" I immediately asked. "Yeah she is here but-"
"-But? But what?" I said worriedly, interrupting him mid way.
"She is in her room." He said. "How is that bad? I'll go and greet her." I said. "No, you don't understand. She has... she has locked herself in her room and isn't coming out. I tried everything but she hasn't come out at all and I'm worried sick here. That's why I was calling you. She isn't telling anyone why she is so upset." He explained.
"She's upset?" I said but it sounded more like a question. "Yes, whenever I tried to make her come out of her room I could hear her crying." He said and that was the last thing I heard before running upstairs towards Charlotte's room.
I think I know why she was so upset.
When I reached Charlotte's bedroom door, I knocked softly on it.
I waited for few seconds, hoping she would open the door but nothing. Just silence.
I knocked again getting silence in return.
There was still silence so I knocked on the door again.
"Charlotte!" I knocked on the door. "Lottie open the door baby." I said softly.
"Go away." I heard her murmur.
"Baby please open the door for me. It's me... It's Justin." I knocked on the door again.
"Justin, go away." This time, she said it a little louder.
"I can't. I won't. Please just open the door. I'm getting worried here. Please." I begged, turning the doorknob in every way possible, hoping it would magically unlock the door.
"No. Just go away."
I sighed and leaned my head against the door. I could feel myself getting really worried and there were different thoughts about Charlotte in my head now. Did she sleep last night? Has she eaten something?
Just the thought of her not getting enough sleep and starving in there had me panicked. I formed my right hand into a fist and started pounding violently on the door.
"CHARLOTTE OPEN THE DOOR!" I began shouting for her to open the door.
"It's of no use Justin. She is not going to open up anytime soon." I heard Scooter sigh behind me. "Are you fuckin' out of your mind!? She needs to eat something. She cannot just starve in there!" I snapped and then saw him staring at me. "I--I'm sorry." I apologized. "Justin, I understand your emotions but give her some time. She will eventually come out." Scooter sighed and patted my back. "What if it takes days? A week? Then what?" I said. "Then... I don't know." He said.
"Fuck this shit. She is getting out of that room." I mumbled frustratedly before running down the stairs. "Justin what's wrong? What are you doing?" I heard Scooter run behind me as I run toward the back of the house.
I found the door which leads to backyard and I slid them open and walked outside.
I look up at the house from outside trying to locate Charlotte's bedroom. When I did, I saw her window opened and almost did a happy dance but decided to save it for later. I did a quick silent prayer before looking behind me.
I saw a huge tree and ran towards it.
"WHAT THE FUCK!? JUSTIN DON'T DO THIS! YOU'LL GET YOURSELF HURT!" Scooter yelled for me to get down as I grabbed a small branch to help me begin on the top of it. Slowly, I began climbing on the tree ignoring Scooter yelling and shouting at me to get down.
"JUSTIN GET DOWN! YOU'LL GET YOURSELF HURT!"
After a while, I was on the top of the tree, I bite my lips while staring at the thick branch that spread out further towards Charlotte's window.
"Help me Jesus." I whispered before making my way towards it.
I look over at Charlotte's room ignoring Scooter's shouts and cries for me to get down and then he saw me staring at her window, he began to panic.
"DON'T! JUSTIN PLEASE DON'T JUMP! PLEASE COME DOWN WE WILL TALK ABOUT THIS! WE WILL FIND A WAY BUT PLEASE DON'T JUMP!" He screamed and I could feel my heart beating faster. I felt like it would jump out of my ribs.
I looked down and shook my head.
I have to jump. She needs me. I need her.
I slowly and steadily approached the window with one step closer and reached my arm out at it as much as possible. Once I positioned myself, I leapt that small distance and, luckily, I caught the outside window sill with both hands. My feet began to kick at the house's wall and I lifted myself through Charlotte's window, landing on her bedroom floor.
As I felt myself land, I heard the most terrifying scream in the world. It wasn't of Scooter as I had expected at first.
"HOLY FUCKING SHIT" Charlotte screamed, crying out loud from fright.
"Justin!? You scared the shit out of me!"
I couldn't help but smile. I didn't really care if I had scared the shit out of her, because I was happy she was okay. Her nose and cheeks were a little red from crying which was making her look so freaking cute.
"I'm sorry." I smiled, getting up from the ground.
"Sorry!? You are sorry!? Do you know how scared I was!? You jumped into my room from the window making me think you were some rapist and all you have to say is a 'sorry'!?" She yelled.
I couldn't help but grin and now there was a sudden silence between us. Charlotte was glaring at me with a frown on her face until it broke down into a smile and she let out a soft, cute giggle. I couldn't help but laugh with her.
"Why did you jump in here like a mad gorilla?" She laughed and made her way towards me, giving me a quick kiss.
"Because you won't let me in. I'm sorry if I scared you but I really needed to be in here. I need you and I know you need me too. Why did you lock yourself in here? Why were you ignoring me and everyone?" I asked while caressing her cheek and her smile fade away as soon as I mentioned this.
She backed away from me making me frown my eyebrows in confusion. "I--I... s-sorry." She shuttered. "Why are you apologizing babe? I don't need that. I just want to know the reason. Although I do know it but I need to hear it from you." I said and her eyes widened. "You... you know?" She choked out and I slowly nodded.
"Please tell me. Scooter told me you haven't left your room and you mustn't eaten something. Why?" I begged.
"There is no use of hiding it." I added and she licked her lips while staring at me.
"Do you trust me?" I asked and she nodded. "I do." She said softly.
"Do you love me?" I asked taking a step towards her. "Of course Justin! You know I do love you." She said. "Then why weren't you answering my calls or my texts all this morning? Did I do something wrong? Did I say something wrong which upset you?" I said, my eyes started to get a little watery. Was she mad at me? Did I do something wrong for her to lock herself in here?
"The problem isn't you, Justin. It's me." She answered.
"The problem is you? How are you the problem?" I asked confused.
"I--I don't deserve you Jay. I don't deserve your love. I'm not the right girl for you. You--you deserve someone better, not me. I'm not good enough." She broke down into tears, and my eyes widened. I was taken aback from this response.
"Hold up, where the fuck did you get this idea from? Did someone say something? Who the hell said you aren't good enough?" I asked.
"Everyone is talking about it. Don't you see. People on Twitter are saying all of this. 'Charlotte is a bitch, she is a slut, she don't deserve Justin, she brainwashed him, she is just using him, I hope they don't last long, I hope she dies.' That's all everyone is talking about. You fans, my fans. Everyone is talking about it! They don't think I deserve you. They don't think we should be together. They don't think we belong together." She cried out.
"Baby, the real Beliebers and Angels are supporting us. They know our love for each other and they can see it. They are fighting for us, trying to convince everyone what we did wasn't wrong." I said.
"You don't get it Justin." She screamed. "There are more haters. And they don't want us together. You do know how my mental health is. You know how I overthink over things and have negative thoughts that almost break me from the inside. How are we going to be together if they don't want us to be and we get hate every single second?" She cried.
"Stop! It's my life and yours. We will be the one to decide with whom we want to be. To whom we want to submit ourselves to. Not them. Nobody can ever, ever tell us what to do because it's our lives, not their. They cannot tell who we belong with except for us and our hearts. And my heart belongs to you and yours belong to me. Nobody can change that. Nobody can change that we belong together. I don't give two fucks because at the end of the day I love you and you love me and that's all that matters." I said.
"How are we going to work out if people, our fans think we aren't enough for each other? When they think I'm not good enough for you?" She mumbled.
"THEY WILL! I know they will. Don't say that bullshit. Who said you aren't enough? Did I say it? No I didn't right because I know you are beautiful, gorgeous, sexy, kind, forgiving, gentle. You are perfect for me and you will always be my baby, my seรฑorita, ma chรฉrie, mi amor. You're the one. I adore you. You are my favorite girl and I will take my chances with you because I love you. My beliebers know this. Your Angels know this. The real ones do." I said. "And do you even know how worried I was for you? I climbed that huge ass tree and then jumped from there in your room just to get you out of here. I didn't care if I will fall down or get myself killed because all I was thinking about was you. You know why? Because I love you and I am ready to fight against everyone if you are by my side. I'm ready to fight for us." I said.
"Y-you climbed that tree for me?" She let out a small smile. "Of course I did. I could give up my life for you too." I said and she hugged me tight.
"I love you." She said softly before crashing her lips on mine. Her lips moved against mine in sync and I melted into the kiss, holding her tight. I could feel myself falling deeper and deeper in love with this girl right here as we kiss.
Soon we pulled away and she smacked my arm. "Ow!" I yelped while rubbing my arm. "What was that for?" I groaned. "Don't ever scare me like this ever again. And don't ever risk your life like this. What if you had a great fall or got yourself killed!?" She said and I couldn't help but grin and chuckle. "I'm sorry baby." I said.
"Now let's get some food in your system because I know you haven't eaten anything." I said.
"So you gotta eat something. Now." I added and grabbed her hand and interlaced our fingers while gently dragging her with me.
_____________
"Give me some." I said to Charlotte who was eating her M&M's, while opening my mouth for her to give me some of her candy.
She smiled and put some in my mouth and I started munching on them feeling their sweet taste hit my taste buds. I'm glad she was happy now and things were back to normal. After we went downstairs, Scooter gave a whole big speech to Charlotte of why she locked herself in her room while I got a speech over how I shouldn't risk my life like this and how dangerous it was for me to climb that tree and then jump from it.
But he was glad, we both were okay and then Charlotte ate her food and now was eating her candy.
She got up from her bed and I snapped out of my thoughts, watching her throw the empty packet in the dustbin and laying back down beside me.
"I'm so tired right now. I didn't had any sleep last night." She mumbled while snuggling close to me. "Neither did I." I said softly and wrapped my arms around her, making her my little spoon.
"Go to sleep baby." I kissed her hair and heard her hum before closing my eyes which were soon getting heavy.
"I love you." That was the last thing I heard from her, until a deep slumber took over me.
---------------------------------------------------------
If haven't noticed, yes I named Charlotte's fanbase Angels because I'm not really good at picking and I definitely wasn't going to call them Charlotters or something because that's just weird for me so I used Angels.
Okay, now a question. Do you want me to add one or two filler chapters before drama or do you want me to add drama straight away?
Let me know so I can start working on the chapters.
Hope you guys liked this chapter โค๏ธ
