Chapter #7: Now I'm speechless

(Love bug -Jonas brothers)

"I can't believe you would falsify a legal document" Justin says still in anger.

Frustration starts to fill my emotions "Do you really think I would go that far for a practical joke?" I respond, now fully frustrated. He looks up at me, and his glare answers my question. He opens his mouth to speak.

"Don't answer that" I interrupt before he can even start.

"Justin even if I did falsify those documents, look at the one underneath it. They're official wizard documents"

I start to think back at last week magic lesson. Trying to remember the little I could hear while I was snoozing. I remember dad saying something about charms in wizarding documents. Every things else is a blur.

Justin skims quickly through all of the documents once again in desperation. I imagine he's looking for a sign to justify disbelieving me. And I secretly hope he can find one too. It hurts to know this is causing him pain.

He finally stops rummaging through the papers and lets them fall to the ground in a weak slamming motion. He buries his head in his palms and I can hear a small whimper coming from his direction.

Is he crying?

I have always known Justin as a really sentimental guy but I have never seen him full on crying. Well he's not obnoxiously crying like babies do, he's actually not making any sound at all. I can only see the never ending tears streaming down his eyes. It kind of scares me to see Justin being so vulnerable.

I stare into the blank TV set as I try to pinpoint the exact moment when everything went wrong.

"Alex!" I hear a voice from a distance say.

"Alex!" That voice comes through my ears again except louder and slightly more annoying.

Slowly and a little dazed I start to realize its Max and reply "What?"

"What are you doing?" He looks at me as if I were crazy.

"Watching TV" I reply nonchalantly.

"It's not on" He says confused as he slowly walks into the layer

I'm left alone in the living room only to think about what happened a couple of days ago. I literally haven't seen Justin in two days. I don't know how he manages to avoid me without magic. In the morning when we leave for school he seems to have already gone by breakfast. By the time max and I get home he's nowhere to be seen. I'm guessing he's in his room since the door is locked. When I went to check on him the door was locked, but there was no sound coming from the room. He probably charmed it.

Oh I love it when he breaks the rules!

Still I wish I could see him or at least talk to him. I've never felt so anxious to see Justin before.

Well, he's got to come out of his room sometime. He skipped out on dinner last night. I don't think mom will let him do that tonight. He has to come down for dinner and maybe I'll get to a clue as to where I stand with him. Or he could just snap in the middle of dinner and tell our parents everything he knows. That might be entertaining; Then again they'll know I'm the one that told him. Not to mention they'll know I open the box the specifically told me not to open.

"ALEX" I hear my mom yelling in my ear. This time I snap out of it completely.

"Honey, are you ok?" She asks genuinely worried.

"Yeah" I reply insincerely. "why?" I continue

"It's just that you and Justin have been sort of in a weird mood lately"

I want to reply that there is obviously something going on and that it took her long enough to notice. But I repress my instinct to be rude to my mother and simply say "There's nothing going on mom".

"O.K" She says not completely satisfied with my answer.

IIIIIIIIIIIIII

I hate setting the table; it's a waste of valuable TV time. I don't even remember why I volunteered to do it (it must have been an involuntary impulse). I finally put the last fork down on the table and hurriedly walk out of the kitchen.

"Thanks Alex…Where are you going?"

I hear my mom say whilst I walk down to the layer. I need to go somewhere and breathe…I know the layer isn't exactly fresh air

"Aaaaahhhhh" I scream startled by an unexpected figure in the layer.

"What are you doing here?" I ask while catching my breath.

"I'm allowed to be here" Justin says as if I had somehow offended him.

"Yeah I know" I say sarcastically.

"I just didn't expect you to be in the layer" I continue. Surprisingly I'm a lot stronger than I thought I would be. Granted that I realize now I don't know myself as well as I thought I did.

I manage to keep my composure and I don't feel the need to apologize to him anymore. In any case my parents deceived me as well as they deceived him. It's not my fault I found out first (well, actually it is).

He stares in to in to my eyes so hard it feels like he's burning holes in them.

"What is it?" I ask annoyed.

He starts laughing "You look so cute when you're annoyed"

He cups my chin and gives me a peck on the lips. Then He proceeds to walk out leaving me confused in the middle of the room. What the hell is wrong with him?

IIIIIIIIIIIIII

Breakfast for dinner again! We already had breakfast for breakfast. My dad has got to stop eating like this, so that we can all stop eating like this. Justin has been giving me weird looks all night. He's been flashing smiles at me, and he actually looks happy…And men complain women are hard to understand.

He hasn't said a word to mom and dad. Every time they ask him something he only gives one syllable answers. Mom seems concerned while dad is too excited about breakfast for dinner to even notice.

I Know that this chapter was crappy and short =( . This story is almost coming to an end and I'll try to make the Chapters a lot better.
