Have Little Doubts
I got out the hospital the next day, with Patricia-Lee. She mostly slept the ride home. And the ride? Quiet as hell. Justin and I stayed silent the whole time. Even back in the hospital room. Why did I feel like I was in the loveless marriage, giving all the love in it. It's not like he did anything. The roaming eye didn't help much, either. I kept thinking that he lost all interest in me. Hince the roaming eye. I honestly think I lost my husband. "I was thinking...Maybe Ican make your favorite, for dinner tonight." I slightly smiled to myself. "You remember?" I caught myself saying, quietly. "Chicken Alfredo.." I hadn't had that since our first date. He remember that long ago, which surprised me. We pulled up to our house, right onto the drive way. I looked back at the baby.
"She's starting to get some color." He whispered, not waking her. Maybe she'll get a little carmal color from the two of us. It's go perfect with her eyes. I climbed out and grabbed the carset just as Justin started to unlock the front door. We walked in, surprised as hell. Well, I was. "Welcome home!" Justin took the carset from my hand and brought me over to the couch. "What is this?" The whole family was here. My mom, dad, and his new wife. Justin's mom, his dad, and his stepmom. Jazmyne, who just turned tweleve. And Jaxson, who is ten now and in the fifth grade, if I remember correctly. "We have a surprise for you." Just turned me around to face the kitchen entryway. Honestly, I was nervous. To see what would come out, I was kind of on edge. "Atease, magget." My eyes literary widened at the sound of his voice.
"D!" I got up and ran over to hug him. "Don't forget about me, now." Then she came out and it just made my day even more. "Dori!" I basically jumped over D'Andre just to get to Dori. missed my big brother and sister. While he's off, fighting a war, she's on the other side of the country, designing. "How did you guys get here?! How did this happen??" I was almost in tears, no joke. I've missed my family for so long, I just broke out into tears. "You can thank your hubby for that one." I turned around and looked at him. Maybe he notices after all. Maybe things haven't changed. I couldn't believe he did all this for me.."You did all this?" I walked over to him, he wrapped an arm around my waist and I let him. "Only for you..." He smiled..

July 4th, 2010
Atlanta, Georgia
Jackson Residents
I stayed glued to the t.v., watching Justin perform. He couldn't be here, so I just watched him play a concert up there in NewYork. I know he was excited, he never celebrated the 4th of July before. Oh. I guess you're wondering what's going on. Justin and I are friends. I know, the kiss, it should've went to dating status by now. But with his schedule and how everything was going for him...Plus the stuff I got going on, it was best that we remained friends. I never told anyone about the kiss either. I didn't think it should be anyone's business. I mean, it was just a kiss. Not a big deal...Okay, it was amazing! He has the softess---"Hello?" All I could hear was a loud puffing in the background and it creeped me out. "Look, if you're some type of perv, I got star 69 and I will get your ass, you little---" "Whoa, whoa. Shawty, it's me." I still didn't know who "me" was. "Who?!" "Justin, Dani!" Ohhh...Well I feel stupid. "Oh. What?" Now I'm bored. "Well hello to you too. I just got off stafe and you give a greeting like that? I'm hurt."
I scoffed, "You'll live. Where you off to now, Biebs?" "Uh, Cali I think. Concert, interview, photoshoot. The usuge." I nodded, "Ah, the usuge. Ha, nice." We talked so long, that I had completely forgot about the block party fireworks outside. "Well, sadly, I must go. It's fireworks time." I picked up my bottle of water I had next to the couch and turned off the t.v. "Awe, ok. Tell me how they were." I smiled, though he couldn't see it. I secretly knew he felt it. "Ok. Promise.."
