For this Chapter I don't wanna spoil anything but I had to watch a few interviews in order to come up with Typical Justin Bieber answers. One of the scene is very very accurate to the real Justin in real life. Enjoy!

MIA'S POV

Knock Knock, I knocked on the cracked-opened door, announcing my presence. I peaked my head into the room fearing, oddly, that someone was going to shut the door in my face. Pattie was sitting in front of her dresser. She was arranging several sheet of papers.

"Should I come in another time?" I spoke stripping her attention from the stack of folders.

She quickly placed them away and indicated for me to come in.

"No it's fine, come in Mia" She gestured with her hand.

I slowly walked in. My steps as light as a fairy's, as if the floor was an old, fragile, dangerous ground to step in. She motioned for me to sit on the bed, facing her. her posture stood above mine, emphasizing her adulthood over my witty, unexperienced, innocent youth.

She was beautiful. I unconsciously allowed myself to stare at her. Looking deep into her visage. I could see Justin's lips, his eyes and his reassuring smile; only, they weren't his. The eyes were older, stronger. How could she be dying ? The question remained, buzzing and buzzing in my head. Although I didn't know much about this lady, I knew that she was an important part of my life. An important part of my happiness and an even more important part of Justin's. She was the reason why he is who he currently is. Why he was so caring and devoted. I anxiously fumbled with my fingers. I needed to say something. The silence was engulfing my determination, reducing my courage by the minute.

"Is everything ok Mia," Pattie unawarely pulled me out of my trance.

"Um...I wanted to thank you...for letting me stay...h-here the entire summer with Justin and..."

"Yes?" She patiently awaited, her eyes enlightened with content.

"I-I...Justin told me about...of...about your...condition," I murmured, feeling uneasy.

"Yes, of course he told you," She observed " You're his girlfriend."

"Are you sure that there is nothing that can be done? I mean...I'm no doctor or anything but maybe if we keep searching, there might be a team of doctors that could..."

"Honey, I know it's hard to take in but there's nothing that can be done."

"But how?'' I persisted, feeling the rage rise up in my chest.

"The doctors said..."

"How can you give up so easily, Pattie?"

"Honey, calm down..."

"No."

No I would not calm down. I could not calm down. I stood up staring directly into her eyes, my own, were starting to swell with tears.

"This is not the Pattie I know. You can't just give up like this! You have no idea what it would be like for Justin, for us-without you he'd- he'd-" I stuttered. "I see him everyday, the look in his eyes-the fear-he can't do this- please don't let him go through this-" I could not finish as I began to cry in despair. Pattie pulled me into her chest in a hug.

She stroked my back and muttered comfortable words. I sheepishly came at an easier pace, my breathing decreased.

"Please don't give up, Pattie, " I sniffed "Please, for Justin...don't give up."

"I won't ..." Pattie simply said.

She was also crying.

AUTHOR'S POV

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Justin Bieber !" The talk show host announced as the audience went wild.

He had gotten used to it by now, but he still could not help but laugh on the inside. All these women out there screaming at the sight of him, yet they didn't really know him. Complicated. He could never understand the relationship between his fan and himself. A nice one but an ambiguous one as well. He was currently on the Melanie was planning on going out with Mia later. All he wanted was to have a good time. God, he needed one after these past few days.

"So you're 17 now Justin and you already have 4 albums in you're repertoire, what does it feel like?"she asked him

"It's amazing, I could really find a word to describe it" He spoke.

"You're just fantastic now aren't you?" She implied

"Not really, I'm just really lucky and really happy to have the best fans in the world. It's a great experience and I love it" He modesty replied to the joy of his fans in the audience.

"How humble of you. You've grown now. You are going to be 18 soon." She mentioned more to the audience than to him as he chuckled.

"Yes." Justin nodded

"What has been going on in your life?"

"Well," Justin begun, unconsciously flipping his hair. "I just finished my national tour and right now I'm on break and I'm just basically hanging out with my friends and dealing with a few stuff."

"Stuff , what stuff?" Melanie curiously inquired

"Just stuff," He managed to say. He was not planning on releasing his mother's medical issues yet.

"Maybe some girl trouble perhaps?" the host teased

"No" Justin stammered

"Are you sure because these pictures tell me otherwise"

"Pictures, what pictures?" Justin was instantly alarmed.

"Yeah. Pictures." Melanie, the host grinned at Justin's horrified expression as if to say "Busted!" The technical group begun to show pictures of Justin and Mia out and about around the US at the last week of the tour. There was a picture of the two lovers hugging during a water fight, walking while holding hands, even some personal pictures of him and Mia on the tour bus. How the F*** did they get these? They were luckily not kissing in any of these photos but anybody would be able to tell that they had a strong bond. The screen Finally freezed on a picture of Justin and Mia walking hand and hand after getting lunch at a cafe.

Shit.

He thought it, but was too shocked to say it. He remained glued to his seat. How could he have been so careless? Now the whole world was about to find out.

"Are you two dating?"

"Um mm... We...we're just hanging out."

"Hanging out as in dating?" Melanie persisted leaning forward as if She was settled to bring the truth out of him.

"I was just hanging out with some friends...yeah-just hanging out with -people" He nervously murmured as he agitatedly moved around his seat.

"Well I don't see any people, I just see the two of you. Don't they look like they are dating?" she asked the screaming, responsive, audience. The dead glares he was getting from some of his fans, "Oh great" Justin thought. She turned back around and gazed at the picture.

"OK" Justin begun "Next quest..."

"Hey what's this?" Melanie suddenly interrupted her. She was pointing at the picture but it was far too distant for the members of the audience to get a sight of what she was pointing at. Justin however, instantly knew what had caught her eye.

Their necklaces. Their necklaces hanging out in the open on the front of their shirts.

"Can we please have a zoom in of this ?" Her wish was quickly granted.

"Aw that is so cute!" She exclaimed "They are wearing matching necklaces!" She squealed at the audience.

"No we're not." Justin quickly tried to deny it.

"A heart and a Locket, how romantic" The host commented ignoring his rather silly comment. "Well there you have it," she announced "The teen pop sensation bieber, is officially taken, we'll be right back."

"Mia is going to kill me." Justin chuckled.
