56. The Flu
Wherever life plants you,
blossom
with grace.
Charlotte's P.O.V
I shifted under the cover, moaning in frustration when the annoying snoozing sound of alarm woke me up from my delightful, loving and heavy sleep. Even though I was a heavy sleeper and wouldn't even wake up even if it's the end of the world, sometimes even a little sound or movement manage to wake me up which annoys me to death because all I want to do is sleep.
Can't a girl just have her beauty sleep?
I slowly raised my head up from the pillow, muttering incoherent words under my breath, cursing at the alarm as if it has just ruined my entire life. I grabbed my phone, stopping the annoying sound from scarring my ears even more.
I checked the time which read 7:35 AM before looking up, hoping to look at something or someone that would brighten my day up but a loud scream left my throat when I saw a scary looking person staring back at me.
Shiver ran down my spine and goosebumps rose all over my body and an unpleasant feeling washed over me. Fear.
The person was under the cover with me, laying on his side, face me while supporting his head on his elbow. His face was the only thing which scared the shit out of me. The face which resembled to none other than...
"BABADOOK! BABADOOK! AHHHHH!" I screamed loudly as I lost my balance and flew across the bed and fell down on the floor.
"AHHH ON MY GOD! AHHHHHH!" I continued screaming trying to crawl away further from the figure.
The dialogue from the movie 'The Babadook' started replaying in my head and I let out a small cry.
"If it's in a word, or it's in a book, you can't get rid of the Babadook"
No no no no no! I'm too young to die.
"I HAVE THE HOLY CROSS WITH ME! GO THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME OR I'LL USE IT AGAINST YOU. GO AWAY!" I added, squeezing my eyes closed as a small cry, but no tears came out at all, erupted my throat and I held my chest for dear life until I heard a familiar laugh which I knew by heart. It was none other than Justin.
Of course it would be him. There was no doubt in that.
He took off the mask as he laughed his ass off.
"YOU FREAKING IDIOT!" I got up from the floor and hit him hard on the head making him lose his balance and fall down from the bed. But that didn't seem to stop him from laughing like a hyena at all. He rolled around on the floor while holding his stomach which was probably aching from laughing so hard. He had tears running down his cheeks from laughing so hard but that never stopped me from giving him a long death glare.
"YOU ARE A DOUCHEBAG!" I yelled at him when he sat back up on the bed, still laughing. "A freaking idiot." I stated before shaking my head, ready to walk away from him.
"Babe!" He laughed making me glare at him. "Admit me, I got you good." He laughed and I rolled my eyes at him.
"Fuck you." I said and walked in the bathroom to wash my face.
I could clearly hear the loud laughter coming from the bedroom as I continued washing my face and then wiped it with the towel when Justin decided to make his presence in the bathroom.
When he saw me glaring at him, he started laughing again. "I hate you." I cried and he hugged me from behind, resting his chin on my shoulder, giggling to himself. "Why do you always gotta do this to me?" I said softly while pouting my bottom lip.
"I'm sorry angel." He giggled kissing my cheek and a small smile broke out on my face even when I tried to keep it straight. He's just too cute, ugh!
"You'll give me a heart attack one day if you keep scaring me like that." I said and grabbed my toothbrush and toothpaste. I wet the brush, as I always do as weird as that sounds, and then put toothpaste on it and started brushing my teeth.
It was a little difficult because Justin was clinging to my side, rocking us back and forth and staring at our reflection. He looked so lost in his thoughts and I didn't even try to break it because 1. I had toothpaste in my mouth and 2. It's quite hard to talk while brushing your teeth.
"We are totally meant to be together." He stated breaking the silence and then kissed my shoulder before resting his chin back on my shoulder. I put the toothbrush away and smiled softly.
"And I totally agree with you." I turned and kissed his cheek. "I wish we could stay like this forever." He said softly when I turned in his arms, staring into his gorgeous eyes which spoke volumes.
"Me too." I said and locked my lips with his. He immediately started kissing back making me smile into the kiss and cup the back of his neck in my hand.
We moved our lips in sync, pouring all of our love for each other into the kiss. In the next few seconds my legs have managed to wrap themselves around Justin's waist while his hand were now resting down on my butt.
"You know I had this dream." I said when we pulled away from the kiss. "We were in the same position and you were holding me close." I smiled softly making him smile back.
"Dreams really do come true huh?" I added and he nodded softly still with a smile on his face.
"What else did you dream of?" He raised an eyebrow. I hummed putting up on a thinking face as he patiently waited for my answer.
"To be honest, that's the only part I remember." I ended up giggling and a chuckle escaped his throat.
"Now let me down. I gotta shower." I said as I pat his shoulder. "No." He stubbornly shook his head.
"Justin will-"
"I can't hear you." He said while closing his eyes. "Jay please-"
"La la la la la la la I'm the sexiest man alive la la la la la la." He started singing loudly. "Jay." I started laughing and shook my head softly and he opened his eyes to look at me.
"You are so silly." I giggled. "But please let me down. I probably stink." I said making a face. "You don't stink!" He exclaimed. "Please." I said giving his my best puppy dog eyes I could give and he sighed and let me down.
I inwardly cheered in victory when my bare feet touched the surface of the ground. I started taking off my clothes feeling Justin's eyes on me the whole time.
"But I'll watch." He licked his lips, his eyes set down on my boobs. My cheeks heat up when I felt his eyes wandering around my body and I quickly turned on the shower feeling the warm water falling down on my body instantly. I closed my eyes, wetting my face and hair. Justin's eyes never left my ass and I started to feel hot, but it was not from the warm water.
If I am being honest then the truth is that I had constantly been feeling like jumping on Justin whenever I see him like some hungry lioness. I had constantly been feeling really...horny. As if I just had to have Justin whenever my eyes landed on him. And the worst part was that I couldn't handle this feeling of want and need and I was sure Justin knew it too but never minded it. In fact he sure was enjoying this more than anything or anyone.
And the outfit he was currently wearing didn't even help much because he was looking like a Sex God in it.
Fuck this, I want him. I thought.
"As much as I love the outfit on you I'd rather you take your clothes off and join me." I smirked turning my head to him. His eyes widened a little and a naughtly little smirk took over his face and then next thing I knew was him standing in front of me, under the shower, naked.
"Do you know that you are turning into me?" He smirked cupping my ass cheeks in his hands. "Shh talk less." I whispered, cupping his right cheek in my hand and smashing his lips on mine.
We both showered together to save water and even did something else.
(A/N: I'm not going to give you details everytime lmao, well only if you were actually waiting for it lol)
"But is it even normal for you? Not that I'm complaining about it. I'm not complaining at all." Justin rambled on as he wore his black Calvin Klein boxers briefs back on while I clasped my bra behind my back. We were currently in my closet getting dressed.
"Well what can I even say? All I know is that I got a really sexy boyfriend." I flirted and he chuckled and grabbed his t-shirt to put it back on.
"You should see a doctor you know? This is not normal. Being horny 24/7." He mocked me from everytime I would refuse him when he asked me to do a "quickie" with him.
"Maybe you can be Doctor Bieber for me later." I winked and Justin's eyes widened a little. I even surprised myself by saying that. Since when do I talk so dirty all the time? Justin wasn't lying when he said I was turning into him. Maybe I really was.
"Who are you and what have you done to my girlfriend?" Justin said and my cheeks heat up in embarassment. I should really stop saying things like this if I'll end up getting embarrassed later on. "Shut up." I mumbled embarrassed and put on my oversized hoodie.
"Hey there is no need to be embarrassed kitten." Justin wrapped his arms around me from behind. I nodded and grinned.
One of his hand slowly started wandering to south until it landed on my sex and he cupped it possessively. My body tensed up and I bit down on my bottom lip to prevent myself from letting out any type of noise. Goosebumps rose up on my skin when I felt Justin's warm breath on ear.
"And Dr. Bieber is here to assist you whenever you need him." He said sexily before nibbling down on my earlobe.
A soft and low moan escaped me and I found myself pressing my ass against his crotch.
"Really?" I managed to utter a word and he hummed before his lips travelled to my neck and he started sucking on the flesh. He was kissing, biting, licking, nibbling and sucking on the flesh, making his territory. I even tilted my head a little to give his some more space. My eyes were closed as soft moans kept flying out from my mouth every now and then.
"Justin." I moaned when he placed a last sloppy kiss on my neck, probably on the hickey he had left. I let out a sharp breath when I felt his soft lips leaving my sensitive skin.
"Wear some pants kitten." I could practically hear a evil smirk on his face as he said that, smacked my ass and then walked away to wear his pants and jacket.
I stood there panting like an idiot, staring at Justin as he casually put on his pants as if he just hasn't turned me on by practically making out with my neck.
I sighed and shook my head before putting on my pants and walking towards my mirror to comb my hair and tame it. I gasp left my mouth when I saw a purple hickey almost as big as the size of the continent Asia.
"What the fuck?" I mumbled touching the skin softly only to hiss in pain. "Did you really do that to me?" I asked dumbfounded and Justin started chuckling when he turned to me and realized I was talking about the hickey. "Just marking my territory." He smirked staring down at the hickey. "Justin it's really big. Almost as big as the size of continent Asia." I said examining it closely and he burst into laughter.
"Everyone needs to know to who you belong to." Justin stated possessively after he had calmed down from laughing.
He has always been possessive of me but it seems more obvious now, if that makes any sense. Few days ago, we were at a park and there was this boy who apparantly was "taking off my clothes with his eyes", as Justin described it, Justin obviously noticed it instantly and was giving him death glares the whole time. He even made out with me, holding my ass possessively and making sure the boy actually watched us make out. The boy then started to feel awkward from too much PDA in front of his face and ran off.
I had never seen Justin so relaxed and satisfied when he had made the boy run away.
I knew it was his possessiveness kicking in since he had almost lost me more than once. And as I said he was always possessive of me, even when I was little so I completely understood it. And who doesn't want a possessive and protective boyfriend? But he shouldn't turn over-possessive or over-protective because I don't think if that's good thing.
"Hey." I was snapped back to reality by Justin. "Yes?" I asked blinking a few times. "I have a surprise for you." He grinned from ear to ear. "Surprise?" I asked confused, turning to him.
"Yes wait here." He demanded before running out of the closet. I giggled at his excitement and cutest and decided to obey him and stay seated.
What was the suprise this time? I couldn't help but wonder until I heard Justin coming back.
I gasped loudly when Justin returned with a huge teddy bear. But it wasn't just any teddy bear, it was the teddy Justin had gifted me on my fifth birthday.
"OH MY GOD!" I squealed jumping from my seat and grabbing the teddy bear from him. "That's my Juju Bear." I awe'ed hugging the him close. Yes, I did name him Juju Bear when I first got it and I chose to stick to that name.
"Where did you find him? I was trying for months." I asked confused and looked at Justin. I lost him a year ago and couldn't find him anywhere. I even cried when I couldn't find him anywhere in the house. "I just did." He smiled happily. "Thank you so much Jay." I kissed him, smiling from ear to ear.
"I missed him." I kissed Juju Bear and cuddled it close to me.
"I know you did. You were sobbing when you couldn't find him." Justin grinned and I kissed him again.
"I love you." I smiled from ear to ear. "I love you more." He kissed my nose making me scrunch it. "We both know that's impossible Bieber." I smirked and he chuckled and shook his head.
"From Bieber I remember what's this?" He said pulling out a package from one of the shelves I had in the closet. I glare at it while biting my bottom lip.
"Holy Merch." I innocently said. "I know that but why did you buy it? You could have simply asked me if you wanted one." He said and I licked my lips, trying to moisturize them. "Because I wanted to. Now give that to me. It's mine." I possessively grabbed it and put it close to my chest, staring at his face.
We kept staring at each other for few minutes, I am sure I looked like an idiot while holding Juju Bear and Holy Merch as if it'll disappear any second if I let go, until both of us burst out into laughter.
"You are so silly." Justin laughed."Look who's even talking." I giggled. "You are more silly than me. I even have proves." I added and he was laughing so hard that he almost fell down but grabbed me for support and now what laughing while resting his head on my shoulder.
"You look so stupid with the way you are holding the merch and the teddy bear." He laughed. "What's mine is mine." I shrugged. "But seriously you look like it's disappear if you'll let go even for a second." He chuckled and pulled away, standing straight.
"What if you steal it from me huh? I need protection." I said being silly and Justin gave me a "really!?" look.
"Why would I do that?" He shook his head as a chuckle escaped me. "Because.....I am just protective for my stuffs, okay?" I said putting them away on their place and he chuckled at my answer.
"So what do you want to do today?" I asked and turned to him. I had a day off which meant I could spend the day with Justin.
His facial expression changed and he gave me an apologetic smile. I frowned my eyebrows in confusion. "What's wrong?" I asked worriedly. "Actually I'm going today." He said softly. "Going? But where?" I asked confused. He never told me if he was going somewhere. "You know how I was doing rehearsals everyday?" He said and I nodded my head mumbling, "Yeah."
"I'm going to New York for shows and interviews." He said with a little sadness in his voice. "What's wrong with that then? You love performing." I stated letting out a small chuckle. "Yes but I'm leaving today. I actually came to bid you." He sighed. "Oh." That was all I was to say. "For how long will you be gone for then?" I licked my lips and he looked at me sadly and apologetically. "At least for five days. Or maybe few more." He said softly looking down and my eyes widened a little when I realized what he actually was referring to. He'd miss my eighteenth birthday. And I would miss his.
"But you'll miss my eighteenth birthday. And I'll miss yours too." I said sadly and he looked up at me and shook his head. "No I won't. I'll make sure to be here on your birthday. And we'll celebrate my birthday together too." He tried reassuring me and I looked at him as he cupped my left cheek in his hand.
As an overthinker I was, I still imagined him missing my birthday and me missing his. I never used to be excited for my birthday, in fact I could careless about it but I was really looking forward for this one and was excited as ever. But I didn't want Justin to miss it. As selfish as I sound, I wanted him there with me for each and every second.
"I'll miss you." I wrapped my arms around his torso and nuzzled my face in his chest when I felt my eyes getting glossy with tears.
He didn't say anything but hugged me back tighter, nuzzling his face in my neck. I could feel his breath against it making me hold onto him tighter.
"When do you leave?" I asked. "In an hour or so." I heard him say and nodded.
"Are you hungry?" I asked again and heard him chuckle softly, "I wasn't earlier but now I am."
I giggled and pulled away from the hug.
"Let's go then because I'm starving or else I'll eat you." I smirked trying to brighten up the atmosphere and it seemed to work because he started laughing as I dragged him to the kitchen with me.
________________
"Let's do it!" Emma clapped her hand making me laugh and stand up. After bidding Justin at the airport, I went to meet up with girls at Emelia's house. And as always they instantly had managed to put a big smile on my face the moment I walked in.
Do you know how you are so into the conversation with your friends whenever you're with them that you don't even realize how fast you hop from one topic to another? That's what happened with us! We were randomly talking to each other and the topic has managed to change from dogs and cats to Netflix series 'Strangers Things'.
We were talking about 'Strangers Things 3' and how Suzie, Dustin's girlfriend, only had three minutes in the whole series but those three minutes were one of the most iconic scenes from the series. And now the girls wanted Emma and I to perform that scene because only the two of us were really deeply into the series.
And yes I did cover my hickey with make-up before going out because it was huge and I didn't want anyone to see it just like that but I'm sure the girls had noticed it but thank God they never mentioned it.
"Wait I gotta record this." Emelia said making me giggle as Bella searched for the song on Spotify in her phone. Yes, it is on Spotify.
"Don't forget to send it to me!" Ashley said, stuffing her mouth with popcorns. "You are acting like you are going to watch a movie." I giggled and she simply shrugged.
"Hey get into the characters already! This has to be the best! I'm playing the song." Bella announced and we both nodded.
(A/N: In case you wanna watch this iconic scene and I'll also add Millie's dance to it because that's kinda what they'll be doing)
"I want to hear it." I lip-sync demanding while looking at Emma. "Not right now." She shook my head rapidly. We both were lip-syncing the whole scene.
"Yes, now Dusty-Bun." I demanded. "Shit." She mumbled and look down before looking up at me and sat down on her knees. I smirked in victory.
"Turn around, look at what you see, in her face, the mirror of your dream." She sang as she slowly raised one of her hand then the other one before slowly pulling it towards her face and stood up before moving them around her face for the "the mirror of your dream" part.
"Make believe I'm everywhere, given in the light, written on the pages is, the answer to our never ending story. Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah." I joined her and interlaced our hands together before raising our hands up for the "light" part and then moving it around for the "written" part before we started dancing around back and forth when the vocalizing part came up.
"Reach the stars, fly a fantasy, dream a dream, and what you see will be." We both pulled one of our hand away, raising it again as if we were reaching out for the stars and then we started jumping around for "fly a fantasy, dream a dream" part while giggling until she grabbed my hand again and we started dancing around.
"Rhymes that keep their secrets will, unfold behind the clouds, and there upon a rainbow is, the answer to our never ending story," We both danced around, doing 'Russian Dance', 'Flaws' and 'Can Can' in between too.
For the vocalizing part, we both turned to each other, holding out our hand as if we were holding a mick, I was actually singing the song by now.
What? It is really catchy and I love it.
"Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, story, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah."
Then we started moving around, dancing any step we wanted. Truth to be told we were more like jumping around to the music.
"AHHH!" I squealed in happiness as I jumped around while Emma giggled.
"You just saved the world." Emma lip-synced Dustin's lines as she interlaced our fingers together.
"Gosh I missed you Dusty-bun." I said looking down blushed like some young teenager who blushes when her crush looks at her.
"And I missed you more Suzie-poo." She said and I looked up at her with a smile. "I miss you more, multiplied by all the stars in our galaxy." I smiled.
"No, I miss you-"
"Enough." Ashley broke up, getting in between us. She just lip-synced Erica from the song where Erica interrupts Dustin and Suzie's talk by disconnecting their connection.
I instantly started laughing making everyone laugh as well. "I am literally so obsessed with this scene." I giggled. "That makes the two of us." Emma added giving me a high-five.
"I'm hungry as fuck." Bella announced making us turn to her before I started giggled again when she simply shrugged.
"Let's eat some hamburgers I had made." Emelia clapped her hands together and got up from the seat. "You are lifesaver, Lia." Bella said dramatically as she got up from her seat to follow Emelia to the kitchen like a lost puppy making everyone laugh again.
Silly Belle. I thought. But you gotta love her.
We all followed them to the kitchen where we found Bella already eating and Emelia making us our plates. "Thank you Bebe." I kissed her cheek and she smiled and kissed mine as well.
To be honest, I really was hungry but I didn't really felt like it until Bella mentioned it. And when she did, I was starving.
I moaned taking another big bite of my hamburger. "This is so good." I moaned and everyone nodded agreeing with me.
All of the sudden, I got that sudden urge to be sick again. All because of the smell of the ketchup that Emma was putting in her hamburger. This has been happening for few days, I was getting sick, even throwing up, getting motion sickness which again resulted me to throw up and constant mood swings (which I always have so it wasn't anything new).
"Em can you please not eat anymore ketchup. It smells nasty." I groaned as I closed my eyes and sucking in my mouth to prevent myself from throwing up as I felt like I would do any moment if I smell anymore ketchup.
"Why? You love ketchup! It's so good." Emma said motioning the packet by my nose. "The smell is making me feel weird. Please-" Before I could even finish up my sentence, I jumped off my place and ran to the nearest bathroom before throwing up in the toilet.
I was so busy throwing my guts out that when I felt someone rubbing my back, I never bothered to turn around to look who it was.
"Are you okay bebe?" Emelia asked when I finally stopped vomiting. "Yeah..." I said in a weak voice and turned around only to find everyone looking at me with concern. "...I think I'm coming down with the flu." I added and slowly got up.
"I'm not hearing anything. We are going to the hospital. Right now." Bella said and before I even open my mouth to protest she gave me a glare that clearly screamed to me to obey her or I'll face the consequences.
"Okay." I sighed.
"I'm taking her to the hospital and tell you everything when we come back." She said to the girls and they nodded.
I washed my teeth as quick as I could so I could get rid of the horrible smell and taste of vomit from my mouth and then Bella grabbed my hand and we both walked to her car before getting in and driving off.
"I think it's just flu." I sighed as she started driving to the hospital. "I'm still taking you to the hospital." She said give me a glare before turning to look at the road. I knew she was concerned for me but I don't think it was really a big deal.
Let's see what the doctor has to say.
And then
my soul saw you
and it kind of
went,
"Oh, there you are.
I've been looking
for you."
Justin's P.O.V
I laughed softly as I watched the video of Charlotte and Emma performing the 'Never-Ending Story' scene from 'Strangers Things 3'. I knew this scene very well because both the girls are obsessed with this series and had made me watch it with them million of times. And I can never deny that this series was pretty interesting and really good. The video was posted on Emma's IGTV on her Instagram profile with the title, "This is what I live for ๐ค" and there where I found it and started watching it.
After watching the whole video and liking it, I went to my explore page and started scrolling down until a post caught my eyes.
(A/N: that's the only picture I could find so yeah)
My heart started pounding against my chest as I read the caption. THEY WERE AT THE HOSPITAL!? Is everything okay? Were they okay? What if Charlotte was hurt? Or Bella?
I immediately closed the app and went to my contacts and dialled Charlotte's phone number.
Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring.
"Ugh pick up." I grunted when I heard it ring but nobody picked it up, already feeling my hands getting sweaty.
The call was finally picked up but I wasn't greeted by Charlotte's voice, it was Ashley.
"You are interrupting our girls night so the fuck you want?" She said.
"Why were Charlotte and Bella at the hospital? Is everything okay? Are they okay? Is Charlotte okay? She's not hurt right? Does her wound hurt again?" I instantly bombarded her with questions, now feeling even more concerned.
"First of all hello to you too. And take deep breaths." She said and I took few deep breaths and then she started talking again, "Everything is okay. Both of them are okay. Your Charlotte is okay and not hurt. Her wound doesn't hurt."
I sighed in relief after hearing her answers but worry still won't leave me and I really needed to know why they were at the hospital. Ashley just said everything was okay then why did they had to go to the hospital?
"Why did they go the hospital then?" I asked still worried.
There was silence for a while until she answered again, "Charlotte is coming down with the flu."
"She's okay right? I want to talk to her." I demanded. "Yup sure. Here." She said and then I heard some shifting and then I heard my angel's voice and immediately felt relaxed.
"Are you okay angel?" I asked worriedly. "Yes Jay. I'm just coming down with the flu. Nothing much." She said and I could hear a smile in her voice.
"Do you want me to come back? I promise I will come back for you." I said and heard her soft chuckle.
"I'm fine Daddy don't worry about me. I got the girls here to take care of me. You just enjoy the shows, okay?" She said and I nodded and then realized she actually couldn't see me.
"Yeah." I said softly. "Just take care of yourself, okay?" I said. "I will." I heard her soft voice.
"I love you." I said with a small smile.
"I love you more." I could almost see her smiling as she said that. "Now let me enjoy my girls night damn, will ya'?" She said jokingly and I let out a soft laugh.
"Bye I love you. Take care." I said before hanging up.
I sighed softly. Just because she reassured me about her being okay that doesn't mean I still won't worry about her. God I just hope she was okay and gets better real soon.
After all it was the flu. Just the flu.
