You guys have no idea how horrible I feel about abandoning this story. I have started high school and there is a lot more homework then I imagined. I have decided to devote 1 hour every other day to writing my fan fics. So I hope you guys will bear with me.

(3 weeks from where I left off)

APOV

I woke up, the sunlight blinding me. I stumbled out of bed and went to close the curtains, groaning as I did. Once I made it back to my bed in the near darkness, I noticed the time on my alarm clock, 8:00. Crap JUSTIN!!! I mentally slapped myself for forgetting to set my alarm to wake up the 16 yr old homeless boy living in my bedroom. I crawled to the end of my bed to wake Justin but I came up empty handed. I frowned, he was gone already, his backpack gone and the sleeping bag rolled up and placed under my bed.

"Alex honey time to wake up." I heard my mom softly call from the other side of the door. I sighed hoisting myself off the bed and nosily making my way to my closet so my mom would know I was awake without coming in. I heard her footsteps retreat back down the stairs.

The day went on very slowly, I was upset that I wasn't able to say goodbye to Justin before he had left that morning. Harper was ignoring me somewhat because she hadn't seen Justin since the day I invited him to stay in my bedroom. Before I knew it my mom and dad had gone to bed and who knew where Max was. I was in my room my iPod on, quietly so I could hear when Justin came knocking on my window.

"Alex." I heard someone call from outside my window. I smiled realizing who it was.

"Justin." I said once I reached my window. My mood immediately went from happiness to shock when I saw his face on the other side of the glass. His lip was bloody and his eye was black (A/N: a black eye) "Oh my goodness, Justin what happened to you?"

"We really need to talk Alex can you open the window?" He smiled slightly trying to cheer me up. I giggled softly to myself and opened the window, stepping aside to let him by. I got a better look at him once the light hit his face. He face was covered in bruises and he had a cut running from his hairline to his chin. I gasped, tears forming in my eyes.

"Justin, tell me what the hell happened to you?"

"It's a long story but all in all, some people I knew from before found me."

"What do you mean?"

"Some people who my parents borrowed money from for drugs went looking for them and apparently my parents have skipped town and these people think I might have something to do with it."

"Justin, that's horrible, what can I do to help?"

"You can help me skip town, you can forget you ever met me." He said with complete honestly in his voice. I shook my head fiercely. I wouldn't let him skip town, I could never let him go.

"NO!" I screamed, loudly enough to make an impact but quiet enough so my parents wouldn't hear me.

"I have to go Alex, I can't put you in danger like that." He grabbed my arms and kissed my forehead. "I should just go now. Thank you for everything you've done. Goodbye."

This story is not over yet, don't worry. Sorry again it took so long to update I hope this chapter is good enough for you all to forgive me. Don't worry, Justin will be back. I should update this by Wednesday because it's Veterans Day and I don't have school. The next story I will be updating though is 'Better Then Connect 3' Lastly I know this chapter is short and people are probably gonna be pissed that after 2 months 500 something odd words is all I can come up with but I promise the later chapters will be longer so again bare with me.

Thanks for not giving up on me
