CHAPTER 1, PART 1
(EMI'S POV)
It was Winter vacation, and Emilina was really ecxited.
She was ready to hang out with all her friends and have a fabulous time. She was ready open presents
and give them and she was ready to celebrate Christmas. but there was a downside. She didnt have a boyfriend. no
one to hold her and no one special to snuggle next to. it seemed all her friends had someone except her.
But she didnt focus on that too long. She had alot to do. She had to go shopping for presents,
pick up her cousins and family at the airport and seee what kind of sorts of things would happen before the New
Year arrived, for some unexpected.

************************************************** *********************
(JUSTIN'S POV)
Justin Bieber sat in his living room, thinking about Christmas. it was so close he could feel it. Christmas was a
nice time to share with all his friends and family,
sure he got alot of presents especially from his fans which he loved. but he couldnt help but feel a little down.
He didn't have anyone to hold for the Holidays. He didn't have a special girl to call his "Shawty" and it seemed to him
like everyone had someone but him.
It made no sense. so many girls liked him, he had so many to choose from. But he hadn't yet found his special
someone.
He contemplated this, until his mom showed up in the room.
"Hey, Justin." She said.

"Hey mom." He said a bit glumly.

"Justin, what's wrong?? You seem kind of down..."

Justin looked at his mother, and thought about it. Should he tell her?
He sighed and took a quick breath.

"Mom, I just don't know. I don't have anyone this holiday to be with. It seems like all my friends have one and the
whole rest of the world has someone to be with during the holidays except for me."

He looked at his mothers young face, and waited for her reply.
"Justin, honey. you'll find someone. and if you don't, just remember that there is someone out there for you. Someone
in this world. your soulmate. And one day you"ll find her and be truly happy. Just wait a little. you'll see."
with that his mother kissed his forehead and got up.
"Oh by the way, dinner is ready. We're having spaghetti. Your favorite."
She smiled at him, and walked off to the kitchen.
Justin thought about what his mother said. Could it be true? Could there really be someone for him outside in this
Huge big world? Someone in which he could be truly happy with?
Maybe. But for right then, there was a big bowl of spaghetti waiting for him in the other room.
************************************************** **********************
(EMI'S POV)
beeep beep. beep beep.
"five more minutes...." Emiliana said to her room, rather sleepily.
Then quickly she opened her eyes and remembered.
She was going to the store for Christmas shopping, with her friend Angelique, that morning.
She got up and headed towards the bathroom.
On her way there she passed by her desk. Something right above it caught her eye.
It was a picuture of her and Justin Bieber. from when they were both very young. She was about 4 and he was 5.
they had their hands around eachother and were smiling widely. In the picture, it was winter, and the snow was falling
hard. They were both sitting in a big black sled, that seemed about to go down the hill.
Emilina smiled at that picture. She remembered when Justin Bieber was her best friend.
Justin had moved right next to her when he was 2 and she was only one. Since then they had been inseperable.
He would come over and play everyday at her house, and She would do the same at their house.
Then they grew up. They stayed best friends still up until when he turned 4. then he moved away to house a
few cities away. Around that time, a girl moved into her neighborhood. Angelique Pearrson. They all became friends and hung out.
But Justin and Emilina still stayed best friends. His mother would bring him over to play and she would go over there too.
they spent holidays together, and usually were together on the weekends.
When it finally came time for him to start school, he went to kindergarten at a public school in the city.
When it was time for her to start school she went to a different school in her city.
but that didnt change anything. they still hung out together.
They grew bigger and bigger. 1st grade passed. Then 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th grade. But still they were best friends.
Sure Justin had accumilated his many best friends, and Emiliana had hers. but they remained the best of friends.
when finally 7th grade came for Justin, he came to her school. She was really excited, to have him so close. They
hung out recess with Angelique, and sometimes they all ate together at lunch. And talked for hours on end after school.
It stayed the same way the following year in 8th grade. Justin introduce her to all of his friends, and they had
grown to
like her. alot of people had thought them, as a couple. but they just shook off people's comments. They didnt care.

The following year, 9th grade, was very different. He had had finally reached high school. They say with
high school comes many changes. And the biggest change was that he openly ignored her. He would still talk to Angelique, but very rarely.
Gone was the recesses they shared. No more eating lunch together. and hardly he ever talked to her after school.
They hardly ever hung out on the weekends. The only times when Emiliana, saw Justin's old self was at holidays
and birthdays.
Those times, He hung out with her.
but other than that, Emilina saw a big change in Justin. And she remembered she didnt like it.
By then, people started to notice his videos on youtube. They all supported Justin.
Suddenly one day, he was completely gone. It was the day Justin finally became famous.
He didn't even say goodbye.
After that, Angelique and Emiliana hung out. they became seperate best friends. They wished really hard Justin would come back. But as the got older they lost hope and moved on with their lives.
Since then, Emilina and Justin had never talked again. He changed his number, his email, and any other sort
of way to contact him. Emilina wished that one day they would talk again. But that might never happen.
She knew Justin and his mom had moved back to Stradford, Ontario, in the very neighborhood she lived. but she had never
spoken to him. They were costantly traveling.
She wondered if they even remember her.
She didnt know what house they lived in, and it would be hard to find out seeing the neighborhood was enormous.
Emilina took a breath and tried to forget about Justin. She knew if she allowed herself to think about it alot, she might make herself sad.
Or depressed. Or even Sick. So she took a quick breath, and went to the bathroom to get ready for her
day at the mall.

************************************************** *****
okay that was the first chapter gonna post the rest. lemme kno what u think!

okay heres, Chapter 1 , part 2 cuz the thing got cut off. lol

CHAPTER 1, CONTINUED
(JUSTIN'S POV)
Justin woke up with a start. He was still feeling down about christmas.
He didn't know what else to do. He got up off his bed, because there was no way he would be able to
go back to sleep. He looked at his clock. The time said: 10:03 AM. He shrugged and walked over to his mirror.
he took a look at it, and just stared at his reflection.
His honey colored eyes looked tired and sad. He took a breath and frowned.
Suddenly something caught his eye.
it was a small picture.
it was of him and Emiliana North. It was taken back in the 6th grade. They were both smiling and he had a hand around
her shoulder. they looked both so happy.
He really missed her.
He hadnt talked to her in years. He didnt know how she looked or how she was now.
He remember how close they used to be.
It was all his fault. He had dumped her at the beginning of high school.
how could he?
He was now a Senior in high school. and she would be a Junior.
He thought hard about it. He needed her back in his life. But how could he just show up, after all this time?
He breathed in hard, and looked through his room. Maybe he could find her number, or some kinda clue of where she might be now.
He dug through all his papers and everything else in his bedroom. He looked through photo albums and books.
Suddenly he picked up a big dusty old book. he wiped away the dust from the book, and looked at the cover.
On the front was just a single word. FRIENDSHIP.
He gulped and opened it up. the pages were battered and yellowing. His stomach flip floped. on the very first page in Dark black ink was the sole letters: J+ E= Forever Best friends.
and right under that, was what he thought it to be.
Justin Drew Bieber + Emiliana Mary North= Forever, til the very end.
He felt his stomach tighten and his fingers shake. He looked through each page.
There were baby pictures of them, pictures of their elemetry years, pictures of their birthdays, it was all here!!! there was everything there was to know, about Justin himself, and about Emiliana. They had so much in common. How could he have let her slip through his fingers?
He turned to one of the last pages in the book. There was the last picture they had ever taken. It was back when he was in the 9th grade. It was at Emiliana's birthday party. He was hugging her tight, and smiling wide, with a finger full of frosting placed on her face.
She was laughing wide with her eyes closed, and her head thrown back. They both were not facing directly at the camera, sort of not knowing at all it was there. stuck in a moment, full of happiness. never had they thought it would be their very last.
finally Justin found something. a single rose, that used to be red, now withered away and placed delicately in the album. Under it he found this:
Emiliana Mary North
14569 SW Brickman Rd.
Stradford Ontario, Canada, N5A-2G8
519-285-7792 (cell)
519-233-6645 (home)
Justin leaped with joy. It was the 1st time in a long time, he actually felt like jumping up and down with happiness.
but would she be surprised? Would she be mad? Would she even care?
He decided to start with this. If it wasnt her number anymore, it was worth a shot. So he closed his eyes took a deep breath, and dialed, waiting to see who would answer on the other end.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++
Okay!! Now here goes chapter 2!! review pleez!

okay heres Chapter 2
=====================
CHAPTER 2
(EMI'S POV)
Emiliana stood in the Food court with Angelique. They were in line, at Starbucks, waiting intently for their turn.
So far, Angelique and Emiliana had bought a couple of outfits, and special gifts for family members and reletives. After Lunch, they would begin working on their friends.
They had stopped at an ice cream parlor and each of them were carrying a big cup full of ice cream. Angelique had vanilla with little oreo bits. and Emiliana had chocolate with chocolate chips, pieces of hershey's and oreo bits.
Emiliana pushed the spoon to her lips savouring the deliciousness of her ice cream, when suddenly her phone rang.
She dug through her purse, and finally retrieved her phone. She look at the number. unknown, but definately a number from Stradford. She was curious to find out who was calling, so she pressed Talk and with a sing songy voice said, "Heeellooo."
The person on the other end said: "Hello? Emiliana North?"
Now she was really curious. Who was this?
"Yes?"
"Its me, Justin Bieber."
************************************************** *****
(JUSTIN'S POV)
When the person on the other line picked up and said hello, Justin knew it was her.
He felt his hands get numb, and his throat stiffen. He was shaking all over.
He quickly answered though.
"Hello? Emiliana North?"
She seemed to have, a curious tone now.
"Yes?" she said.
Justin took a deep breath and spoke.
"It's me, Justin Bieber."
He waited for her to say something. anything. but nothing came out. It was quiet on the other end.
"Em, EM? Are you okay?! What's wrong? Who is it?" He heard some girl say.
but still there was no answer.
************************************************** *****
(EMI'S POV)
As soon as Emiliana heard that, She dropped her ice cream. Angelique quickly picked it up. nothing had fallen out.
All the color drained away from Emiliana's face. She was speechless.
"Em? EM?? are you okay?! what's wrong? Who is it??" Angelique said.
Emiliana opened her mouth, but nothing came out.
On the other end, Justin was speaking, and Emiliana was trying hard to listen. But she felt faint.
"Emiliana? Are you alright? I didnt mean to scare you. Its just that i really miss you, and ive been thinking about you alot, and i cant believe i was such a jerk to let you go. and today i found your number. In that album we made years ago. and i knew i had to find you."
"Justin. . ." Emiliana said weekly, a tear rolling down her cheek.
"Emary, please talk to me!!"
At the sound of her nickname, the one he had put on her years ago, she fainted and the whole world suddenly went black.
************************************************** ****
(JUSTIN'S POV)
Justin held the phone tight.
He heard the other girl screaming and calling out to Emiliana, saying she'd fainted..
Then suddenly he heard a click and the line was cut.
He threw the phone at his bed and let his head fall over his knees.
How was he supposed to get her to talk to him again?
He decided he needed, urgently NEEDED to call back and see, if she was okay.
Justin knew the other girl might answer, but that didnt matter. He needed details.
Becuase Emary, even though it didnt seem like it right now, was very important to him.
So he shuffled back to his bed and picked up his phone. he pressed REDIAL and waited.
"Hello?" The other girl said, kind of worried.
"Hey. What happend to Emiliana?"
The girl's voice suddenly rose a few octaves, as she spit out, "Who are you?!?! You made my friend faint, and I wanna know why!!!" She demanded.
He breathed in hard, thinking about this. What if she was a fan? What if she gave his number out?
HE didnt care right now, for some reason. HE closed his eyes and said, "Justin Bieber."
The girl stayed quiet for a little bit and then finally said, in a softer voice, 'You mean THE Justin Bieber? The one who was our friend? The one whom was Emiliana's forever, her best friend, her everything? The one who later just walked out to the cold famous world leaving us both behind?"

Justin was confused. We? Us? Who was this girl? He thought hard about all the friends he used to have. Then suddenly a face appeared in his mind. This girl was none other than Angelique Pearrson,
his other best friend. He closed his eyes. Wow. This was hard. Oh how he missed them.
"Angelique?" He said softly. He already felt the tears, pressing at the corners of his eyes.
"Yes. It's me."
"Then i am him. I'm THE Justin Bieber."
She breathed in hard and sighed. It took her awhile to answer. but when she did, her voice sounded cracked, ready to falter at any time.
"Why did you leave, without even saying goodbye?" She whispered.
The tears rushed from his eyes rolling off his cheeks. He was ashamed, tired, and dizzy. His vision suddenly got blurry.
"Because I was afraid. I didnt want to lose you guys. especially not Emiliana. I loved her. I was already in love with her. That's the reason why i stopped talking to her fully. because it was hard, to even be near her knowing she might not love me the same way. I only talked to her on holidays, and birthdays because they werent everyday. I didnt want her to think of me as a jerk. even though by avoiding her the rest of the time, i kinda was. So that day, when i got famous, i knew this was an oppurtunity to just leave. I didnt want to say goodbye. I didn't want to look at Emiliana and let my secret out. All becuase, i was afraid."
He took a deep breath, and sighed. He was already crying, already blubbering. His cheeks felt warm, and his head felt light. He couldnt believe this was happening. he couldnt believe He found them both.

REVIEW REVIEW!! thanks much appreciated.

CHAPTER 3, Part 1
(ANGELIQUE'S POV)
Angelique held the phone tightly in her hand. She couldn't believe what she had heard. She couldn't believe that now, right then, she was talking to the friend she had lost, years ago.
She didn't know what to answer to first. Her head was spinning.
She cleared her throat and decided to try at it. "So you loved her? All that time you were friends, you were really in love with her?"
Justin cleared his throat on the other end.
"Yes. I did. and still kind of do. I miss her in my life. I also miss you tons. I miss everything we did together, and i feel empty without you guys."
Angelique struggled to stand. She missed him so much too, and so many times she thought hard about it, hoping that they would see him again. Or even talk to him again. And now here she was talking to him once again.
"You were a jerk, for leaving. You could of said goodbye. You never knew if she liked you too. You just had to take a risk and see."
"Yeah. I was. But i couldnt. I was scared that if she didnt like me, we would stop being friends. and what good would that have done?"

"Still. You just left. and she cried herself to sleep so many times. She tried to find you. She called you, and emailed you, and facebooked you and did what ever she could. But you had changed everything. I couldnt sleep at night. We both worried so much about you. Until one day we realized we had to move on. That you were never coming back."

I sighed, with relief. It was the first time in months i had told anyone about this, and I was happy i was finally telling him.

"She cried?" He asked. "I wasnt expecting that. But i do know I hurt her more than ever i thought. both of you. For the first year after I left, I also cried. Every night. i was upset that I just let you two, go. After awhile, there was nothing i could do. I got a new phone and I couldnt find your numbers, plus i was too scared to call, because i didnt know how you two would react. So after a little bit of being being famous, I made myself forget, because it was too hard for me. but you can never really forget your friends. So now while i was passing by my mirrior, i saw a picture of us two, and I knew, for sure that i had to find her."

I let out a small gasp. I had thought he had forgotten. That he just didnt care. I didnt know how painful it really was.
"I didnt know... I thought you didnt care. that you being famous was more important."
"Never!! I could never lose you guys. And not once could i FULLY FORGET."
Right after he said this, Emiliana was slowly becoming conscious again.
"What happened?" She muttered.
then she saw her phone plastered to my ear, and her eyes got wide.
"Justin..." She whispered.
"Yeah," I said. "He's on the phone."
"Did she get up?" Justin said softly, a bit of nervousness in his voice.
"Yeah. She did. But I really don't want her to faint again. So its best, to wait a bit."
"Sure. Sure." He said quickly. He seemed scared. really scared.
"Why dont we meet at my house?"
Angelique thought about this. She wondered what his sight would do to her friend. But She really wanted to see him again, and She knew Emiliana did too.
"Sure. Where do live??"

"14563 SW Brickman Rd. Stradford Ontario." He said.
"WHAT?" Angelique said. "that's just a few houses down from Emiliana.. and a few streets from me!"
Justin gasped. "You mean, all this time, she lived right there?"
"Yes!!! How long have you been leaving there??"
"About a year. But we've been traveling all over the place, so we've actually lived here since a week ago. Were gonna stay here permanantly."
Angelique smiled. She was finally getting her friend back.
************************************************** ***************
(EMILIANA'S POV)
Emiliana opened her eyes and stared directly at the ceiling. Her head was throbbing, and the only thing she seemed to think about was Justin. She gulped. The phone call had really surprised her. it didnt seem real. But as she turned to look at Angelique, she knew it was really happening. Her friend's eyes were streaming with tears, and a smile was popping up every now and then.
"Em! I cannot believe this. Justin Bieber. He's back."
Emiliana looked at her. This she knew. but was he really back, To stay?
"Ang, i dont know. He left us hanging, and he broke my heart. he just left, without warning. he never knew this, and he never felt the same way, but i really loved him. i didnt mean to fall in love, but he did and he broke my heart."
Angelique stared at her, with a cracked smile on her face. The face also showed surprise, but also happiness.
"Em, you loved him??"
"Yes. I have to say. I didnt tell anyone, not even you. I'm sorry. but i though if i told anyone, my heart would shatter and i would ruin everything."
"No. Its okay. I know what you mean."
"Why are you so happy Angelique?" Emiliana questioned.
"Em, He wants to see us again."
"really?? but he lives somewhere far. How do we know how to find him?"
"Emiliana, Justin lives 2 houses down from you."
The second Angelique said that, Emiliana fainted once again. And for a second time that day, her world went black.
************************************************** ************

Chapter 3, Part 2
(note: First Person view, is now being added to this story)
(JUSTIN'S POV)
I looked at the album again, craddling each page carefully. I needed a clue, any kind of clue that would reveal what she looked like. but i found none.
I didnt know what to do. I was extremely confused with everything that had happened in the last 4 hours ever since i had waken up. I needed some kind of help. So i went looking first for my mom.
I ran the stairs 2 at a time, stopping shortly in front of my mother.
She was sitting at our breakfast table, eating a bowl of Cap'N Crunch. She was watching some news on TV. The reporter was talking about me. Just some stuffabout how i was taking a break for a year. and stuff on girls and other things. It didnt interest me. So i turned to face my mother.
"Mom." I looked at her face, and i felt a smile forming on my lips. even though I was nervous to see them, i was super happy i had found them.
"Yes, Justin?"
" I need to talk to you."
She turned to face me, and instantly stopped when she saw y face.
"Why are you so happy? I thought you were feeling sad/"
"I found 2 old friends. both girls. They live here in Stradford, and its been 2 years since ive seen them."
My mom began putting together this information.
"Okay. Do i know these girls?"
" Yes, mom. igrew up with them.."
Suddenly, a smile popped on her face. It clicked. made sense.
"You found Brandy??!!" She said, thrilled.
Okay maybe not.
"No, mom."
"Oh, then who?" She said, a bit confused.
Had She forgotten?
i pulled the picture from my pocket. i had stuffed the picture from my mirror in there earlier, when i came downstairs.
I handed her the picture, and she slowly took it.
She stared at the picture a long time. Suddenly, tears began to fall from her face. She looked up at me, and very softly said,
"Emiliana."
Seeing her this way, i felt like crying myself. Emiliana, had been like the daughter she didnt have. She really loved her. And when i had just left, with no goodbyes, and cuased my mother to leave without them either, it had hurt her alot. She cried at the beginning. but knowing that I had a good reason, she carried on. On occassion, i would find her in her room, praying. And i would hear her praying for Emilina. Where ever she might be. To be safe.
All i could do was nod, as tears slipped down my own eyes. i realized i was not a very emotional person. I didnt reeally cry for girls. But this i was. So i knew i had gotten emotionally attached.

"So this means the other girl, is Angelique, huh?" My mother said, softly.
"Yes. it is."
I smiled. My mother had also loved Angelique, and had missed her terribly. To me, Angelique was like my sister. She was my best friend ever. I had met, Angelique, about 2 or 3 weeks after i turned 5. She moved right next door to Emiliana, after i had moved. Since then, we were very close. All 3 of us.
My mother looked at me. I knew very well she was dying to know how i found them.
So she suddwnly broke the silence, and asked.
"How did you find them again?"
So i sat and i told her all about my moring. I told her how i found the album, and how Emiliana had fainted. I told her about how o talked to Angelique and how she had cried when she heard about me. But most importantly i told her how she lived just 2 houses up from me. And how i didnt know all this time.
My mother sat and listened to the whole story. She cried alot.
I finally told her about how they were coming here tommarrow, and how i was terribly confused about how felt about her now.

"They're coming here?? Oh goodness. its been so long. Justin let me ask you something." She said.
"Okay. shoot." I said waiting.
"How did Emiliana make you feel before you left?"

"Well, she made me feel happy. I really loved her."

"So if you loved her so much, why didnt you just say goodbye or even say no to being famous, no matter what the risk?" She asked me. man, she was good.
"Because i was scared. I was scared if it didnt work out, then our whole frienship would go down the drain. I was scared that if we didnt work, i would blow the whole thing off."
"So you were scared to lose her as a friend. But what if she did love you the same way. what if she was prepared to give you a try, and you didnt even let it work because you were too scared and hid behind your music? You see Justin, sometimes we have to take risks in life so we can experience something better. If you had stayed, or even let it work, who knows you might still have been dating her, and you two would have been happy. Angelique and you would still be best friends, and you wouldnt be lonely on Christmas. Or things could have gone the other way. But I think you could have worked it out. After all you 2 were the best of friends. You never know."
My mother was right. She always was. But i needed to know what i should do now. I have her, and i dont want to let her slip by my fingers again.
"Youre right mom. I should have stayed. But now that cant undo the past, what do i do about the future? I have her and i dont want to lose her or Angelique again."
"You can start by telling her how you really feel. And see if she feels the same. that's always a good place to start."
I smiled at my mom.
"Thanks. You really are good."
She smiled widely at me and gave me a huge hug.
"Now off you go," She said. " I think you have some things to do before you see them again. Like maybe take a shower!! and cut your hair."
"Aww mom, seriously?"
"Yes, Justin, we all know you need it."
"Alright then. I'll go shower and get Kenny to take me to the barber's. Love ya, mom. Thanks for everything."
I kissed the top of my mom's head, gave her a hug and went upstairs with a renewed spirit.
"Its time to get the show on the road." I said to no one in particular and with a huge smile on my face. i was happier now then i had been in long time.
************************************************** ************
hey guys!! srry if the Point of view thing is confusing. i just decided to add first person in there now. I think the rest of the story is oing to stay 1st person. well comment please!

CHAPTER 4
Chapter 4
(EMILIANA'S POV)
Angelique had finally gotten me back home.
When mom saw me, she demanded to know what was wrong.
So Angelique set me down on my couch and began explaining the whole story. I put my imput where needed. when the whole story was said, begiining to end, my mom broke down.
"YOU FOUND HIM?!?!?" she asked me.
"yes." I said weakly.
I knew my mother was freaking out because she loved Justin like her son. and Justin's mom was her best friend. And when they left, it broke her heart. So to hear that they had found them, would make her happy and fully mixed with emotions.
"So you are going to vist him tommarrow?" She said a bit calmer.
"Yes." Angelique said.
"I would like to come too, if you two don't mind. I would like to see Pattie again. And Justin."
I nodded softly. I knew she would.
I got up and headed to my room.
"Come on, Angelique. we have alot of planning to do." i kissed my mom, and went upstairs.

*****2 hours later****

"You're hair is really long and pretty, Em. have you considered getting highlights?"
My hair was dark brown brown, and really long and wavy. I had bangs and fullness.
we had been in my room for 2 hours, deciding on clothes, hair, things we needed to do and anything else before our big day of seeing Justin again. So far we had, a hair appointment in a little over an hour and we were both deciding what to do. We had thought about getting our makeup done too, but this was Justin Bieber. We would just do a little makeup before we left.
"Yeah. But i dont really know what color." I said.
"A light brown would look really cute. how about me? What should i do to my hair?"
I looked over at Angelique. Angelique was a hispanic like me. Her mother was Cuban, and her father, Puerto Rican. She had lightly wavy brown hair that reached the center of her back. She had brown eyes, and fair skin, and she was tall and slender. A very pretty girl.
I was a little diffferent. My dad was from Colombia, and my mother from Venezuela, She was a real beauty. Women from Venezuela are the prettiest around. So i had long, wavy, dark brown hair, fleeting green- hazel eyes and i was tall and slender as well. I had tan skin and reddish lips. I guess you could say i was pretty. maybe even gorgeous. I thought i was alright.
Since Angelique had wavy brown hair, i decided that she should get it straightened and trimmed.
So i told her.
"You should get it trimmed, and straightened. That would look really cute."
She smiled.
For the rest of the time we discussed what we were going to wear, what Justin looked like now. We figured he looked about the same, his dark golden shaggy hair that he flipped uncontrollably. we had seen him a few times on TV, and his first music video One Time, but after that we stopped watching. So we didnt really know how he really looked like.
Then finally it was time to get our hair done.
We hopped in my car and drove.
When we finally reached the place, the parked and sat down.
Next to us was this boy, with Strawberry blonde hair. It was short in a long way. we could only see his side profile.
We heard his name being called, and suddenly a large African american man stood behind him. they both walked out the door. But the whole time we didnt see his face. How wierd.
Angelique was called up first and she went back to get her hair down. i sat in the chair looking at magazines. Suddenly the door opened again. I looked up there was the boy who had just left. Up close i saw that he had honey brown eyes and light pink lips. The muscles in his jaws were flexed and well defined. and he had high cheekbones. He had dark rather thick eyebrows. He was kind of cute, all the more familiar. I felt like I knew this boy, but i couldnt put my finger on who it was. I watched as he grabbed his sweater which he forgot and went out the door. He opened the door to a black Range Rover and backed out. I watched him go away. then suddenly i hit me. It was him.
************************************************** ***********
(JUSTIN'S POV)
I went to the Barber's with Kenny. they cut my hair really short. My signiture "look" as they say was pretty much gone. My bangs, were shorter and i couldnt really flip it anymore. But i found myself tryig anyway. It was a habit. Either way, as i looked in the mirror, i realized it look pretty good. and it sure felt lighter. I looked in the mirror one lst time and went to sit down. Kenny was getting his hair "trimmed". I didnt think he really needed it, but he said he thought so. So i didnt push it much further. Then, two girls came in. but for once i didnt put much attention. I was thinking about Angelique and and Emiliana.
Just about then, Kenny came. He called my name and we headed to my car. When we got inside, i realized i had left my sweater i there so i got out and ran to get it. I went to my chair and went to pick it up. I noticed that now there was only one girl. She was pretty. She kind of reminded me of Emiliana. I pixked up my sweater and walked back to my car. I couldnt stop thinking about how much that girl looked like her. Maybe it was just because i had her on my mind. but one way or another i couldnt get it out of my head.
************************************************** *************
(EMILIANA'S POV)
I sat there thinking about it. He sure changed. But I didnt get a very good look at him. I had just glanced up. If i would have known that it was him from the beginning, iw ould have taken it all in. Now i couldn't wait til tommarrow. When i could see him again.
Then, angelique came back. She had cut her hair a couple inches, and she had a few light brown highlights here and there. She had also straightened her hair. she looked really pretty.
"YOU look really awesome, Angelique!!!" I said to her.
"Thank You!"
"Hey Ang?" I said.
"Yeah, Em."
"Um you know that guy who was in here?"
"mmmhmmm..." She said a little confused.
" I think...."
"Yeah... just say it Em." She said. should I tell her?? no. I won't. I'll just wait til tommarrow to make sure.
"Um...he's kinda cute right?" i said laughing.
"Yeah, he is. " She said with a smile.
Phew. Nice save.
"Emiliana North?" The hairdresser said.
"Well, now its my turn, Ang." I said getting up.
"Good luck!" She said smiling.
I smiled back and followed.
************************************************** ************
(JUSTIN'S POV)
"Oh my word!!! Let me look at you!!" My mom said, ecxitedly.
I turned around and faced my mom.

"You cut it really short!! Where's the Bieber "look"?" She said laughing.

"Moomm!!! I just need a change, you know."

"Well it looks good, honey. I was just messing with you. I really like it." My mom said.

"You're supposed to say that, you're my mom!" I said smiling.

"Haha, you're right. But I'm not being biased. It looks good." She said.

"I'm gonna go find Scooter." I said.
"Okay then." She said laughing.
I got in my car, and wentto scooter's part time home here Stradford. When i got there, i knocked on his door.
He came up and opened it, letting me in.
"Hey what's Scooter?" I said.
"Nothing much, Justin. Oh mann!! You cut you;re hair short! Looks good. " He aid smiling.
"You think so?" I asked.
"Yep. But the BIEBER "look" is gone!" he siad laughing.
"Whatever." Is said.
"Bet it feels wierd. Flipping nothing!!" He joked.
"Oh yeah! Big time! Bu i'll get used to it."
"ha. sure! Its a big habit now!!"
All i did was laugh.
"So Justin, Why'd you really cut it?"
"So i told him the story of Emiliana and Angelique. and how my mom suggested i get a haircut.
After i was done he looked at me.

"Must hurt," He said. "to have just left without saying goodbye."

"It did. Alot. but i was too afraid to come back." I said.

"Wow. How do you think you'll react when you see them?"

"I might freakout. I mean I saw this girl at the barber's that reminded me just of her. It's crazy."

"Hope it turns out okay." He told me.

"Yeah," I said. "me too."
***
After everything, i invited Scooter over tommarrow so he could meet the girls. He said he's come. So i said my goodbyes and hopped in the car. Next stop: Ryan Butler's house.

LOL The next chapter is kinda funny. well at least the begiining. enjoy!!

Chapter 5
CHAPTER 5**
(ANGELIQUE'S POV)
I sat in the chair, and waited for Emiliana. I really wanted to see how she would turn out. I looked all around me, and picked up a magazine.
Mandy Moore was on the cover. I loved her new haircut. As I began flipping the pages a voice interrupted me.
"Do you like it?"
I looked up and saw Emiliana. Her hair was well tamed. she had gotten nice Golden brown highlights and the tips were trimmed. She had some hair thrown to the front and its long wavy course ended around her hip bone. She looked stunning.
"Are you kidding me? I love it!! You look amazing!1" I told her.
She smiled wide, and i gave her a hug.
"Come on," I said. "We still have alot to do."
***
When We got to her house, Her mother looked at us both. She said my hair looked really good straight and with the highlights and she said they did a good job. She looked at Emiliana, and told her she looked amazing. She smiled at us both and told us we were gonna knock him dead. I smiled.
We headed upstairs and continued planning.
Emiliana turned on her iHome, Just The Way You Are by Bruno Mars began playing.

'"Her eyes, Her eyes, make the stars look like they're not shining, Her hair, Her hair, falls perfectly withour her trying, she's so beautiful and i tell her everyday.
Yeah.. i know, i know, when i compliment her she wont believe me. its so its so sad to think she don't see what I see But every time shes asks me do I look okay... I say..."'

When it was time for the chorus, Emiliana and i ran to the center of her room, held on to some hairbrushes and poured our hearts out.

"'WHEN I SEE YOUR FACE
THERE'S NOT A THING THAT I WOULD CHANGE, CUASE YOUR AMAZING JUST THE WAY YOU ARE!
AND WHEN YOU SMILE
THE WHOLE WORLD STOPS AND STARES FOR A WHILE CAUSE GIRL YOU'RE AMAZING JUST THE WAY YOU ARE."'

We started laughing hard.
Then Emiliana stepped out and poured her heart into the next verse.
'" Her lips, her lips, i could kiss all day if she'd let me.
Her laugh, her laugh, She hates but I think its so sexy.
She's so beautiful and i tell her everyday...
Oh... you know you know you know
I'd never ask you to change. If perfect's what you're searching for then just stay the same
so don't even bother asking if you look okay
You know I say.....

Emilana was an amazing. She was really good. Then for the chorus we both stepped out again and sang loudly.
When we finished the song we both fell on the bed and sighed.

"I hope that when we see Justin he won't push us away..." Emiliana said softly.
"I think he won't Em. I just hope that he"ll still be our friends." I said.
"Yeah," She whispered. "Me too."
************************************************** *************
(Justin's POV)
When I got to Ryan's House, i rang the doorbell. I waited for a few seconds, until finally he cam running and flew open the door. He had whip cream all around his mouth, all kinds of clips in his hair, red lip stick and no shirt. Instead on his chest he had a huge sloppy stick figure drawn in what looked like sharpie and on the bottom it said, in sloppy writting:
by carlie butler
Bieberr
When I saw that i started laughing hysterically. Carlie Butler was Ryan's little sister. She was 5 years old. and she loveed messing around with Ryan. She said she was giving him a "makeover" and that he would look "handsome." She also had a crush on me, and that would explain the "Bieberr".
"Duudddeeee. Whhhaaattt. Didddd. Sheee. Dooo. Tooo. Youu??" I said barely able to speak, from laughing so hard.

"Shut up, man! Mom, made me babysit her, and she said if i didn't play with her she would cry and tell mom." He said.

The visible parts of his cheeks were turning bright red. Closely,the same color of the lipstick.
"Oh my word, Is that sharpie?" I said, pointing at his chest.
He glumly nodded.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA- I started cracking up again.
"Dude. Shut UP!!!" He said, which only made me laugh harder.
"You look so goood!!!" I said in a mocking girly voice. "Red lipstick is defiantly soo goood on you!!"
I started laughing so hard i was literally on the floor.
He tried to get me to be quiet, but it was impossible.
finally after i had settle down a bit, i helped him take off all the **** in his hair.
There were so many clips, by the time we got it out his hiar was so messed up and tangled.
He washed off all the whipped cream "beard" and the red lipstick.
when everything was off his face, and hair, he looked down at his stomach.
"How the heck am I supposed to wash this off??? ITS IN FREAKING SHARPIE!!!!!!" He yelled.
When Carlie heard all the yelling, she came downstairs. First she saw me and ran directly towards me she hugged me and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
"JUSTTTTIIIINNN!!!!!!!!" She screamed. "ITS JUSTIN BIEBWERRR!!!!!! JUSTIIN!!!! YOU CUTED YOUR HAIR!!! LOOKS SO HANDSOMED!!!" she smiled widely.

"Hey cutie. Yes I did," I said to her. "How are you doing?"
She smiled widely, and giggled, when i called her cutie.

"Goooddd!!! I wus giving Ryan a Make Ober!!! doesnt he look Hansomed?" She smiled proudly and then faced her brother.

When She saw that he had taken everything off, she got really mad.

"RYAANN!!!!! WHY DID YOUUU TAKE OFFED YOUR MAKE OBER?!!!! YOU LOOOKEDED SOO HANDSOMED!!!!" She screamed.

"Uh, Carlie, I had to eat. and i cant eat with my make over on! So maybe after i eat you can do it again.. maybe. maybe not."

"Okay... But hurry. I have placess to goed. and personss to seed."
I laugh at her words. She really was a cutie.

"Justin!! Did you seed the picturee on Ryan's stomach?" I nodded.

"She went over to Ryan and pointed at his chest.

"See, I put Bieberr cuase one day I'm going to married you and be

Carlie Bieberrr. I going to beee your girl!!!"

I laughed. "Really? Your going to marry me? what about all the other girls of the world?"

"I will stand up and say Bieberr is Mine, and theyed will listened to me!" She said proudly.
I laughed. She was still too young to understand that that wouldnt be enough.

"Okay, Mrs. Carlie Bieber. You better go take your nap."
She smiled widely at me and kissed my cheek.

"I loveed You, Justinn!!" She said. and ran up the stairs.
When she had finally left, Ryan turned to me,

"How can stand her? I mean she has a crush on you, for goodness sakes."

"I know. She's cute, and she doesnt bother me."

"Well, that's because you don't live with her." He mumbled.
"Yeah, I guess." I said.
He turned to look at me.
"So you did get a haircut. looks iight. The Bieber "look" is out!"
He said laughing.
"Yep. Its gone until i grow it out! " I said laughing too.
"So dude what's the deal? Why'd you really get a hair cut? I thought you liked your hair."
He turned to look at me, waiting for a reply. Since i told it to at least 4 people already, i knew it wouldnt be too hard to tell my best friend. except with him it was a bit different. This was about the girl i, just 6 hours ago, realized I loved. And he was the only person who would know that, with the exception of Angelique. and maybe my mom.
I took a deep breath and began telling the story about how i found her, and everything that happened to me that day. When i started talking about her, it seemed to ring a bell for him. he knew her. He was good friends with her too, and he had to admit he missed her quite a bit. I pulled the picture out, and showed him.
"Dude, so you loved her?"
"Yes. I did and still do." I said, turning away to look out the window.
"Then you need to get her back."
What he said was so simple, but yet so hard to do. I had so much to do, to really proove my worth, and to really proove how much i loved her. And i had a feeling it would take a lot more than just sernading, and a dozen roses. No. i needed to talk to her. and be extremely creative to get her back.
"Yeah," I said. " Yes, i do."
_________________________________________
haha i liked creating Carlie. she was fun to make. and ima add her in the rest of the story sometimes too, cuase shes cute. lol well comment!

Chapter 6, Part 1

(EMILIANA'S POV)
i woke up with a start. Today was the day, in all of my life so far, that i was most nervous about. I was going to see him again. The one person I loved. The one person i missed with everything i had. Justin.
I pushed the covers away from me, and walked over to Angelique's sleeping bag. I shook her awake and she quickly opened her eyes.
"Today's the day.." we both whispered.
We took an extra long time to get ready. I took a shower, put body lotion on that smelled sweet. i put on perfume, i let my hair fall down to its wavyness, just putting a little bit of mouse to keep it nice. i put on my outfit: A purple over the shoulder shirt, with my name on it; a pair of skinny jeans, purple vans, and a velvet black jacket that reached to my knees. I put on a purple and blue shag beanie. Ans stood in front of the mirror. Soon Angelique came behind me, with straight hair, a flowy pink shirt, and slim fitting jeans. She had a pair of high top converses, and a north face.
I turned to face her while she did my make up. She made me over, and picked out a cute pair of purple clip on stud earrings to go with my outfit.
"Done,' She said in low whisper. "Emiliana. You look gorgeous."
I turned to look at the mirrior. I looked completley different. Like my own cinderella story. But the difference is, i get to look beautiful for as long as i want, not til the clock strikes 12.
She had given my this beautiful natural look, with eccentric eyes. I had eye liner on the top and bottom. Mascara and curled eyelashes. and sparkly blue and purple eye shadow combined to make a beautiful match. There were little spots of gold here and there. I had foundation, making my skin look flawless, and last but not least, red lipstick. It stood out, but not to much. All of it made a perfect combination. Angelique was right. I looked gorgeous. And it was all thanks to her.
I sat on my bed and watched her do her makeup, which was a little bit simpler, but the same basic idea. When we were both done, we looked in the mirror. Beautiful. I hope justin will like this.
I looked at the clock. 11:58 AM. justin had asked us to come to his house at about noon.
We were in perfect timing.
I smiled at Angelique.
"Let's do this."
************************************************** *************************************************
(JUSTIN'S POV)
It was the next morning and i was extrmely nervous. My room was cleaned, i had gotten a haircut, taaken a quick shower, added some cologne, everything was okay. But I was afraid to see them again. afraid that something would happen and i would just let them slip away again. Let HER slip away again. I looked through the album flipping through pages and pages of memories. I looked at all her favorites, and all her dislikes. all the things we used to do. Somehow, i wanted her to see that i wasnt horrible. That my intentions were great but sometimes my fear was greater. I looked down where it said favorite flower. It said that her favorites were Red roses. i dont really know if that's the same. But i was willing to try. I had to do something if i wanted her back. So earlier i had gone to the store and bought a single red rose. Everything within was trembling. It's haard to just pick up where you left off with someone, without there being problems first. And i just didnt know whst to do.
*ding dong*
I pulled my head up from my kneees and walked over to the mirror. i looked okay. i flipped my bangs out of the way and just stared at my reflection.
"JUSTIN! Could get the door? I'm finishing the food!" My mom yelled.
I took a deep breath and sighed. I hope that this will be okay. I grabbed the red rose, and a yellow daffodil which i remembered Angelique liked, and ran downstairs.
I sighed really hard. Okay this is the moment of truth. I felt light headed. I grabbed the door handle and opened the door.
I was prepared to say something anything. But what i found at the door, left me al ittle stunned.
"Pizza dilivery for a Mr. Kenny?" The man said. Instead of Emilina and Angelique, i found the pizza man.
"Ooh, that's mine!" Kenny said from behind me.
Joy. Kenny paid for the pizza and carried it inside. I closed the door and laid down on the couch.
Why am i so nervous? Oh i know why. You were a jerk, and you left your 2 best friends wondering. you didnt say goodbye, and the second you open that door they might hate you!

While my thoughts were going crazy, the doorbell rang again. All the muscles in my body tensed up. Could this really be them?
I got up with the flowers and looked at the peep hole.
And suddenly i flet like throwing up. By body was caught off balance as i tubled backwards. I felt myself falling, and then someone catching me. Then i fainted.
************************************************** ***********************************
(EMILIANA'S POV)
We stood outside of his house, waiting for the door to open. I felt the tears pressing at the corners of my eyes. I felt like throwing up, fainting, crying, and sitting all at the same time. I was so nervous i could barely stand, and so scared i could barely talk. I looked at Angelique who looked frightened, and my mom who looked like she would burst into tears any second.
Suddenly the door opened. and there stood Pattie Mallette. Justin's mom. No one spoke at first. She just looked at us all, not knowing at all what to do. The her eyes fell on y mom and in a soft whisper she said, "Caroline?"
My mom just nodded and ran forward, embracing her old friend.
"It's been so long!!! Oh how ive missed you!!" They talked on forever, tears streaming down eachother's faces.
Then she saw us. Pattie grabbed us both, and cried fresh tears. \
"My girls! My girls! You two are back here again!"
I didnt say anything, knowing if i did i would start crying.
"Come in! We're all anxious to talk to one another!" Pattie said.
But the real question, the only thing angelique and I wanted to ask was, where justin was.
"Pattie," I said softly. She turned to look at me, with my tears falling down my eyes blurring my vison.
"What is it?" She said.
"Where is. . .?" By then i was interrupted. By a voice.It was low and deep but quivering. and it said clearly, "Emiliana? Angelique?"
************************************************** *********************************************
(JUSTIN'S POV)
I was at the top of the stairs looking sown below at my mother. She had opned the door now, and i watfched her stand there staring at them. Then how she hugged Caroline and how she hugged those two girls. That's when i could see clearly that it was them.
One of the girls was tall and slender with long straight hair that reached the center of her back. She had a north face, jeans, and high tops. That one, i could tell, was Anglique. She had really grown, tall and slender. A very pretty girl. She always was. Tears were falling from my eyes, and i began to cry. Then o turned to the other one. She had wavy hair. Very long wavy hair with straight ends. It had golden highlights. She had a heart shaped face. Sh was tall and slender too, with more curve. She had skinny jeans, Velvet black jacket, and purple vans. that one i knew who it was. It was her. Emiliana. She had gotten so beautiful, so precious. Now i could understand why i loved her. She was pretty and innocent, and she had so much to her.
then I heard her say, "Pattie?"
I watched my mom turn to her and ask what was wrong.
She began to ask her question. I already knew what she was going to say.
"Where is..?" but i cut her off. I ran down the stairs, even when i wanted to hide in my room.
"Emiliana? Angelique?"
She turned to me. The second she turned, our eyes connected. Our moment. That was when i couldnt stand anymore. I fell to my knees. Crying, took the best of me. All i wanted to do, was hug her. So i arose. I grabbed for her and squeezed her tight. My shoulders were shaking violently and i was crying so hard. Just to have her in my arms meant everything. I could feel her crying hard too, Saying my name gently in my ears.
I couldnt let go.
"oh Emiliana! I'm so sorry! I missed you so much! I never wanted to hurt you!' I kept crying out.
But she said nothing. It hurt not to hear her speak.
When finally i had calmed down a bit, i let go. I looked over at Angeliquem hugging her hard too.
"I missed you guys so much!!" I said. hugged them both, wanting only to tell them everything. And promise that i would never do such a thing again.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++
That part was kind of hard to write, when i wrote it. Its full of drama. but it needed to happen. hopefully the next part will be a little bit happier.

CHAPTER 6, Part 2
(EMILIANA'S POV)

When Justin came downstairs, i realized that it was the guy i saw at the barbers. HE was kind of tall, and i could see that his eyes were so brown and gorgeous. Just seeing him again brought so many memories, and it all rushed back. It was hard to keep it all in, but i felt the need to be strong. I needed to be strong to see if Justin reall had changed and that he wouldnt break me again.
He grabbed me tightly shaking violently crying so hard. I felt the tears rush down my cheeks, as I whispered his name softly. I missed him so much, and to finally have him here again was plenty. Even too much to handle.
I could hear him,c rying out: "Emiliana, im sorry! I was such a Jerk i never meant to hurt you.!" But even with an apology like that, i had to be strong. I needed to know how much he had changed. So i didnt say a word.
He let me go then, his eyes puffy and red. He was a bit more pulled together. He grabbed on to Angelique, hugging her tight, and telling her how much he missed her. And she told him the same. She forgave him! But why? Was there somethign here i didnt know?
I looked at them both. From Justin to Angelique, then from Angelique back to Justin.

Justin looked up at me, and then turned to Ang. "You havent told her have you?"
Angleique just shook her head.
'Well Em, i think its time for me to tell you the whole story. and why i really left. Becuase its way different then i know you think. Come on. lets go to the den. Its quiet and we"ll have privacy."
I gulped hard, and followed, completely ready to fianlly hear the truth.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Will Emiliana forgive him? Or will it take more than that? Find out in the next chapter!!
Review!!

CHAPTER 7 part 1
(JUSTIN'S POV)
I brought her out to the den, along with Angelique. I had alot of things to tell her. SO much to explain. I just hoped that she would hear me out.
We took a seat, on the big couch in front of the tv. Angelique was sitting next to her on the couch, and i pulled up a chair in front of them.
Emiliana looked at me expectantly, i could tell she was ready to hear the truth. all of it from the very beginning.
So i started.
"Look Em. I know you think that i"m a big jerk. and in ways i sort of am. But eveything has its reason. So please hear me out."
"Okay, Justin. tell me. From the very beginning."
So i began to tell her the story.
"Okay. back then in the 8th grade when i started to ignore you..."
I told her the whole thing. Why i ignored her. Why i left. Everything. I told her my struggle to fund her, how i talked to Ang. I told her about my mom. Everything. I didnt leave one detail out.

When i was done, i saw her take it all in. She finally understood.
"So tis whole time, that you ignored me, that you left, and that you never talked to me again, was because you were afraid that how you felt would ruin our friendship. that in reality, you loved me."

I nodded. and in a soft whisper said, And i still do."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
