Justin Liked Harper
Justin liked Harper. It was a fact he was only half sure of. When he watched Harper with his sister, he saw a girl he never saw when he spoke to her. She was sensible, keeping Alex on the ground and making sure she didn't get into too much trouble (no one could keep Alex completely out of trouble). She was smart, she loved understanding things, she loved learning, and she got straight As. She was funny, Justin could tell it was often a nervous humour, but he found her funny.
And yet whenever he spoke to Harper, she was completely different. Of course he knew the reason. Alex was Harper's best friend, so Harper was relaxed around her and be herself. Justin, Harper had a crush on, so she instantly went back to being the nervous, excitable, hiding Harper than the rest of the world saw. Justin just wished there was something he could do or say to Harper than would make her see that she doesn't need to be nervous. He liked her for her.
When Justin spoke to Harper, he couldn't deal with her. The way she couldn't even put together a straight sentence when around him, bugged him. He couldn't understand how someone who had the confidence to make their own clothes, and wear it, although it was clear people were always making comments about it, didn't have the confidence to even talk to a guy she liked. A guy she knew wasn't going to do anything to hurt her.
Maybe that right there was the problem. Maybe she didn't know that he would never do anything to hurt her. For all of her mistakes, Alex was a brilliant friend to Harper, and Harper had come to trust her, but Harper didn't really have any other friends. Justin was almost sure she had never had a boyfriend, and that could've been the problem. She didn't have many people who she was close to, she was probably scared of being hurt.
He hoped one day she'd gather up to confidence to just be herself around him. Justin liked Harper. It was a fact he was sure of.
A/N: Ok, this is my first WoWP fanfic, so please don't be too harsh on me. I never even thought about Jarper, until I read some of WickedSong's fanfics, and was like 'wow, it works so well', and yeah, it was her stories, than inspired me to write one. It just took me a while. R&R? Ly'all, Carly.
