Chapter 3

Still Chelsea's POV:

"When did you find out she was missing?" Justin asked him.

"About ten minutes ago. I was waiting for her while she was in the bathroom, and when she didn't come out, I asked some lady to go in and see if she was in there. And she said that Melissa wasn't in there!" Chaz said. He seemed really worried.

"Well, where do you think she could have gone?" Justin asked.

Chaz stopped pacing and looked at Justin. "How the heck am I supposed to know?"

"Hey, who are you calling?" Justin asked me.

I waved him off. A few seconds later, Melissa answered.

"Hello?" she said.

"Melissa, where are you? You've got Chaz worrying half to death!" I said.

"I…I…my stomach was really bothering me, and I was starting to look really pale. So I walked out and made sure Chaz didn't see me, because I look like crap right now."

"You could have called someone!" I shouted.

"I know, I know, but you just woke me up with your call. I was asleep!" she shouted back.

"Well, I'm sending Chaz to go check on you, okay?" I said.

"No! I don't look presentable!"

"Suck it up Melissa." I said, and hung up.

"Chaz, she's up in our hotel room. She'll tell you what happened when you-"

He wasn't even listening. He bolted toward the elevator and jammed his finger on the up button. I guess he decided it was taking too long, so he sprinted toward the stairs.

I rolled my eyes. "Wow." I said.

I looked behind me to find Justin on the floor, out of breath.

"Justin, what's wrong?" I said, kneeling down beside him.

I waved his hand. "Nothing….I'm…just kind of…overwhelmed." He said.

"For what?" I asked. He kept panting.

"I actually thought Melissa was missing!" He said.

He actually cared that much?

"Wow…it affected you this much?" I asked, curious.

He nodded. "Anyone who's important to you is important to me." He said.

My heart leaped in response. He was really down to Earth.

"That's so sweet…" I trailed off. I was in shock.

He smiled at me. I reached my hand out to him. "Need help?" I asked him.

He grabbed my hand and I pulled him up to his feet.

"Thanks." He said. "So…I have a question."

I looked at him. "What?"

"Will you forgive me now?"

I sighed and looked at my feet. He titled my chin up and looked into my eyes.

"Please?" he pouted.

"Oh…fine! Just stop pouting." I said, smiling.

I thought he was just going to let go of my face, but he didn't. He brought his face closer to mine and placed his forehead onto mine.

"Thank you." He said. Them he wrapped his arms around my waist and started to squeeze me. I hugged him back.

This was going to be a great vacation.

*The Next Day*

When I woke up, Melissa was beside me snoring.

I sighed and got out of bed. I went to the bathroom and freshened up for the day. But then I decided to take a shower.

When I got out, I heard Melissa moving around in the other bathroom. My parents must have left already.

Then my phone started to buzz. It was an unknown number.

'Hey Chels(:' It said.

Hey, who is this? I replied.

Seconds later, the mystery person answered.

Justin. Are you dressed?

I looked around for a second. How did he get my number?

Um, yeah I am. How did you get my number?(:

I may have gotten it from your phone while I was hugging you…(: & Great, come out into the hall.

I smiled and walked over to the door. Justin was standing there with roses in his hands.

"Who are those for?" I asked, with an eyebrow raised.

He looked at me like I was crazy. "You silly!" He said.

My heart leaped, again. "Wow, Justin…they're beautiful." I said as I took them from his hands.

"I've never gotten roses from someone before." I said.

"So, that makes me your first! Yes!" Justin exclaimed. I laughed and hugged him with my free hand.

"Thanks." I said.

"Well, I hope you're not busy…cause I made plans for us today." He said, smiling.

"Really? Plans?" I asked.

He nodded. "Yeah. I wanted to spend more time with you. To, you know, get to know you better."

"Well, where are we going? I asked him.

"Out to dinner." He said.

My face fell. "Dinner…?" I asked.

"Yeah, is that okay?" He asked, concerned.

"Yeah…it's fine…I just don't know if I should eat in front of you." I told him, blushing.

"Pssh, it'll be fine! I eat like a pig. There's no way can you compare." He smiled.

I laughed and turned around to put the roses in some water. I didn't hear Justin behind me. I turned around.

"Why are you just standing there?" I asked. He shrugged.

"You didn't give me permission to enter." He said.

"You need my permission to enter?" I asked, placing my free hand on my hip.

He nodded. "Yeah, common courtesy." He answered.

I smiled. "You can come in." I said. He nodded and stepped in. He closed the door also.

"Wow, you're such a gentleman for a 16-year-old." I said to him while placing the roses in a vase I found.

"That's how I was raised." He said. I turned around and looked at him.

I suddenly felt the urge to just hug him. So I walked, well, actually leaped toward him.

I stopped short when I was in front of him.

"Can I have permission to hug you?" I asked.

He laughed. "Of course. You never have to ask me." He opened his arms and I fell into them.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

I nodded against his chest. "Uh huh."

"You don't seem okay." He said. Then he did it.

"Justin! You're driving me crazy!" I shouted.

"What?! What did I do?!" He asked.

I walked over to the couch and sat down.

"You're making me fall for you." I said.

I closed my eyes and smacked my head back against the couch.

"And what's wrong with that?" He asked. I opened my eyes and turned my head to look at him. He was walking over to me.

"You don't care?" I asked, curious.

"Not even a little bit. I'm actually glad you told me that. Now I can do this." He sat down next to me and kissed me.

When he pulled away, my heart leaped a thousand times in a row. That was the best feeling.

Suddenly, my vision went black, and I fell over.
