Chapter 4
Alice looked at me a little weird but I kept shaking my head. She understood and waited. "Damn, really?" he said going back to my house. I quickly went through the back door and up to Alice's room.
"I have no idea what I'm doing here. I lied to Justin, he and his mom are at my house. 4-1-1!" I said panting.
"Um, say, uh, you didn't want him to meet me because I was a hater." I shook my head.
"No that's mean, I'll say you're a really, really big fan."
We both agreed and I ran back to my house. I hurried into my room through the window just as a knock was heard. "One moment." I said closing the window. Just was there, impatient, but stunning.
"Yo, I just checked Alice's house, but your mom said you were here." I nodded.
"Oh, yeah, got home just after you left. Listen, I lied because, Alice is really big fan and I knew she would over react."
"S'okay, hey I gotta go to a party, wanna come?" I nodded.
I looked to my closet, "Gimme a sec." I quickly changed into another dress I got at Ross. It was a light pink tutu dress with sequins at the top. I slipped on some silver strappy heels. "Nice." He said coming out.
He drove us to a little apartment downtown. Before we left he had made some calls saying he had to cancel, a meeting I think it was.
He helped me out and I could barely hear the music pumping. We had to take the stairs since he was claustrophobic. After three flights I was dead. "You take the elevator, I'll take the stairs." I smiled and went up to the next level. I blew him a kiss before I shut the large door. I hit the elevator button and hit all the upper floor buttons. I had no idea what floor it was on. On the 23 flight I heard some music pumping. I went to check on Justin. He was talking on the phone. "Yeah, I know what to do. See you soon. Yeah, yeah, love you too. Oh, yeah, yeah." He hung up with a kiss.
I hurried back into the elevator and all the way to the lobby, after going to the top floor. I tried to reassure myself, it could have been his mother, or Jazzy, Jaxon, or maybe even his dad, but I prayed it wasn't Selena.
I was sick of that girl; I knew she wanted my man. I won't let her have him and I won't let Justin cheat on me. I've had enough of this sick act. "I'm gone." I mumbled under my breath, I knew he wouldn't hear it, but I felt better saying it.
I knew this was an act, I mean come on, "I know what to do." Do what, kiss me, make me fall harder, or that. I recalled something earlier. Was this party even real, earlier he said he hand to head back to his hotel? This isn't his hotel.
I elevator stopped abruptly. I hit the emergency call button,
"Hello, are you alright?" the voice asked.
"Sort of, the elevator stopped, I think it's stuck." The lights flashed.
"All right then, I have already called the fire department. Did you by chance hit all the floor buttons?"
"Yeah, why, did I make the elevator stuck?"
"Well, sort of, you see the elevator malfunctions when people do that." The end was a bit scratchy.
The light shut off for at least three minutes and I couldn't hear the person's voice. I was scared, now I wanted Justin in here. At least I wouldn't be lonely. "I have conflicting emotions." I cried out.
I heard someone on the floor below, "Camille, Camille, where are you?" Justin called. I was in between the 23rd and the 24th floor. "Justin, Justin, Help! I'm stuck in the elevator!" I cried and banged on the door. I could hear him run to the elevator. "Did you learn your lesson about elevators?" he asked. I laughed a little, "I guess I did, huh?"
Fire fighters came and pushed Justin aside. "Sorry kid, gotta save this girl." They began to pry open the door. I could see some light. "Justin?" I asked as I was pulled out of a thin opening. Justin hugged me and I heard clapping and a little screaming. "Would you like to go to the party now?" I nodded and he opened the door. The room was so filled we could barely open the door. "Hi Justin" filled the room. Justin gave high fives, hugs, and waves back to them. I stood beside him, not knowing anyone. Justin gave me a drink and I was cautions. I always learned to do that at parties. I trusted Justin though. I took a sip and blacked out.
