I'm Overboard &+ I Need Your Love, So Throw Yourself Out To Me My Lifesaver...
Synopsis - Beth is a depressed teenager who moves to Ontario where she meets Justin Bieber (who isn't famous in this). She falls for him and he helps her out her depression. Loosely based on my own experiences. Will try and update as much as possible; I have another fanfic on the go at the same time as this one.
Chapter 1: I Just Need Somebody To Love...
Beth stared dejectedly out of the car window. It was a week since she'd broken up with her long term boyfriend Will Davy and although she hated him for leaving her, she still loved him enough to cry for hours about leaving him to go to the other side of the world to live in Ontario.
The Monday her parents had told her they were moving was the Monday her week long stay in her room started. She hadn't eaten in 8 days and only left her room to go to the bathroom. Her room had been packed up around her until she'd been forced to take a shower and get ready for the flight from England to Ontario. Her mum and dad had split up and Beth was moving to Ontario with her dad as her mum was worried for her daughter's sanity and she thought it would be better if she wasn't in the same part of the world and especially not in the same class as the guy she had willingly loved for nearly 3 years. The flight went relatively quickly and check in was simple. Now she was stuck in the car, rain trickling down the window, on the way to her new house. She hadn't even seen what it looked like.
She opened her eyes not realising she'd fallen asleep. She stretched and got out the car. Her dad had already gone inside and started unpacking. The rain had stopped and now mist swirled making the atmosphere slightly humid. The house was largish, white and had vast green lawns. She walked through the main door and inside the decor was fairly modern with wooden floors, spotlights and minimalist furnishings. Her dad popped his head round the door as he dropped some empty boxes in a spare room.
"How'd you like it?" he asked spreading his arms. Beth nodded.
"It's great, way nicer than England," she smiled half heartedly. She grabbed her small suitcase of clothes and found her new room. It was smaller than the other rooms and square with a window that went along the whole of the back wall. Her bed was up against the window with slight rays of sunshine coming through. The mist had cleared and now the sun shone past the few clouds that were left. Her walls were currently white, but her dad had bought her blue paint to decorate and had bought her new furniture that was white. She had thought the new theme for her room to be white and pale blue. Clean colors, clean start.
She sighed, emptied her clothes into her new wardrobe and pulled her posters out of her bag. She put them up with blu-tack along the wall above her white desk. There was a poster of her favourite band Fall Out Boy, a Playboy logo and a massive Spongebob poster she'd had since she was 13; a present from her best friend. Just looking at it made her home sick. Her bedspread was also blue and white and this was where she now lay. Her dad walked in making her jump.
"Glad to see you've made yourself at home," he smiled motioning to her posters.
"Just came in to tell you our new neighbours are coming over to introduce themselves tonight, so wanted to warn you, they have a son similar to your age. I think he's 7 months younger than you," he walked off to finish unpacking after he'd told her to expect them at "6:30pm".
Beth looked at her clock on the bedside table. 5:00pm. She'd better get in the shower. Beth blow dried her hair and quickly did her make up, she changed into black skinnies, black vest top and slung a pink checkered shirt over the top. The door went just as she had put her blue converse on.
She listened in and could hear her dad greeting the new neighbours. She slid down the banister to save time and walked up to greet them herself. She smiled and waved.
Beth's POV:
I couldn't believe it. His eyes! I've never seen anybody with darker eyes. I guess Will's taken the backseat now. I've got someone better to concentrate on.
Justin's POV:
Cute girl, she seems cool. Better than the last girl I met anyways. Rachel. God she was insane. Hope this time it goes a bit better with this girl.
Out of POV's: Beth's dad introduced her to the boy who turned out to be called Justin. His mum stood beside him and was called Patti. Her dad brought them into the lounge which had been transformed since she'd had her nap. The wooden floor shone and there were now three cream sofas in the shape of a U angled around the television. Two brown bean bags were next to a wicker basket of DVDs and the glass coffee table was in between the sofas with a glass bowl full of pebbles. Beth was surprised at her dad's good taste. She watched the new boy, Justin, and his mum sit opposite her on the biggest sofa.
Patti got talking with Beth's dad about the local area and Justin's school. Beth turned to Justin and attempted to make conversation with this boy she knew nothing about. He grinned at her and she smiled awkwardly back.
"Soo.. what do you do for fun around here?" Beth asked smoothing her hair back. Justin flicked his frindge copying her.
"Usually I skateboard; there's a local skate park. I go with my other friend Ryan, you should meet him. I also play guitar, and I've always got my dog Sam for company," he replied.
"Aww sweet, I can't get my dog till tomorrow till he's flown over," Beth said with a grimace remembering he was still in England.
"Cute, we should let them make friends, what breed have you got?"
"He's a black labrador, his name's Benji, I got him as a puppy for Christmas last year," Beth thought about the day when she came down to see her ex boyfriend Will in the kitchen waiting for her with a tiny black puppy in his arms bought especially for her. Although Benji carried painful memories of her once happy relationship, he was the best friend she'd ever had and was grateful to Will for giving him to her. "What breed have you got?" she asked.
"Sam's a papillon, he's light brown and white. He's a bit older than Benji, but I'm sure they'll get on fine; he's a puppy at heart," Beth grinned.
"Awesome, you should bring him over in a couple of days, Benji should be here tomorrow night,"
"Ok, I'd love to," he nodded. Beth was stunned at herself for finding another boy she thought she could like as much as Will, but she was pretty sure he probably had a girlfriend. Beth's dad ushered them into the dining room where a massive table was in the centre and a large photo of her and her dad, taken professionally, was on the wall. She cringed at it now that new company was seeing it. She would have to try and convince her dad to move it whilst she was here.
She took place opposite Justin and next to her dad. They had what seemed like a quick meal, but in reality they hadn't finished till about 10:00pm; they were enjoying socializing. Beth's dad and Justin's mum had moved into the lounge again and carried on talking.
"I don't suppose you want to come up to my room," Beth shrugged.
"Yeah sure, better than being down here with these two anyways," Justin said with a half smile.
He followed her up the stairs. She opened her door and was inwardly thanking herself for unpacking her clothes and tidying her room before he came.
"Blue, nice color, I always thought girls liked pink," he chuckled looking around.
"I can't stand pink, I always think the pale blue looks cleaner anyways," she replied.
"You should see my room then, you'd probably faint, I'm not the tidiest of boys,"
"Is that an invitation?" she asked with a smile.
"If you'd like, you can come over tomorrow," Beth nodded.
"Sure, I'll unpack in the morning and could hang out with you in the afternoon,"
"Yeah that'd be good, I sleep in late usually to be honest," They exchanged numbers and agreed to meet up at some point tomorrow. Justin's mum called them down and thanked Beth's dad for dinner and left. Justin hugged Beth, told her he'd see her soon, thanked her dad also and followed his mum out the door.
"Looks like you made a new friend huh?" Beth's dad said with a raised eyebrow.
"Dad, it's not like that, I'm pretty sure he's got a girlfriend anyway, if you're thinking like that," Beth's dad looked unconvinced, but shut the front door and wished Beth "Good night,".
She walked back up to her room. She noticed a purple hoodie on her bed. It stood out against the white and blue of her room. She picked it up and turned it round. It said "Bieber 10," on the back. She smiled.
"I figured," she thought, hugging the hoodie to her chest. She looked back down on the bed. A note was underneath.
"Thought your room could do with a splash of color, enjoy the hoodie, hope it keeps you warm - Justin," His neat, loopy writing made her grin like an idiot and she knew this was bad. She couldn't be falling for a new guy she'd met hours before. It was impossible.
"When the hell did he do this?" she thought frowning. She put it back down and put her pajamas on; a pair of black shorts with a white vest top. She brushed her teeth, pulled a brush through her hair and took her makeup off. As she entered her room again from her ensuite she looked over at the hoodie again as she turned her light off. It was in a ray of moonlight. She picked it up again and slipped it on. She breathed in the smell of his deoderant and snuggled down hugging herself, feeling that Justin was holding her. For the first time in months she slept deeply.
