Chapter 8:

May 8th, 2017

12:00pm

 

I sat on the couch while Pattie willingly set up for the twins’ party. I begged her to let me help, but she said no. She wanted me to relax, because we both knew that I was stressed a lot right now. I told her, and I quote, ‘you’re stressed too, I mean he is your son.’ And she said ‘it doesn’t matter, you have kids with him, it’s harder for you.’ Ugh, sometimes she was so stubborn.

I was really stressed, that was for sure, because I still hadn’t heard from Justin. How was I supposed to be okay with this? I mean it was already their birthday and Justin still wasn’t here. The police were searching for him, finally, but that didn’t help much with my worrying. The only thing that made me smile was looking at the twins and seeing a resemblance to Justin. They were so cute, just like their dad. It made me really sad actually, it sucked.

Pattie even went upstairs to dress the twins while I ‘relaxed’. I didn’t want to relax, I wanted to do something! That’s when I heard the doorbell ring. It’s like my thought summoned things for me… I stood up and answered the door before Pattie could; it was like a little race.

“Hey Fredo, hi Marisa. Hi cutie, how are you?” I said right away.

“Hey (YN). How are you doing? Is everything okay?” Fredo asked as he hugged me right away.

“Not at my best.”

My smile faded away and Fredo hugged me once more, squeezing me tighter. We had gotten so close over the years; I just told everyone that he was my brother. He literally was to me; he was my older brother.

“You guys can all help yourselves, everything is set up and you’re the only ones here!” I said with a smile.

“Can I talk to you?” Fredo asked me.

I nodded and his wife and little boy went inside. Pattie came downstairs with the twins and I greeted them along with Fredo before we went into a different room to talk. I heard the doorbell ring about a thousand times, hoping and praying it was Justin, but knowing that it wasn’t.

“(YN), I… I’m sorry about this all. If I knew how to help, I would.” Fredo said.

“I’m fine, really.”

He looked me in the eyes as we stood behind the bedroom door. We both knew that I wasn’t fine, and we both knew that I needed someone, someone as in Justin. Fredo grabbed me and put his arms around me. I just started crying in his arms, burying my face in his shirt. I couldn’t hold back all of these tears anymore, it was just becoming too hard.

“Everything will be okay. Justin’s fine, and I guarantee there hasn’t been a minute that’s passed while he’s been gone that he hasn’t thought about you.” Fredo comforted me.

We stood there for about 10 minutes before we were interrupted by a knock on the door. I just wanted to cry some more, but we had to get back to our party. When we came back out, there were so many people. Everyone and their kids came, it was surprising to me. There were so many little kids running around and in the bouncy house outside. It still didn’t make me feel any better to see my little girls having such a great time.

“I- I just can’t do this right now.” I said.

I turned on my heel and began heading upstairs. Pattie and Fredo yelled after me, but I just picked up my pace. I locked me and Justin’s door behind me and sat on the bed. I grabbed the picture of us from the bedside table and stared at it. Tears dripped from my cheeks onto the glass frame and I just wanted to cry even more.

I set the frame back down and stared at the ring around my finger. Maybe he left because he didn’t want to be with me anymore, and he thought that that would be the easiest way. Maybe he didn’t want to be committed anymore, at least not with me… I stopped my thoughts as I heard my phone ring. I really wasn’t up for talking, but I had to answer it just in case someone got lost on their way to our house. It was an unknown number, but I still answered it.

“Hello?” I said in my calmest voice.

“Baby, this is Justin. I need you to do me a favor and get the earliest flight back to Canada. Don’t stay here in the US, just hide away at my grandparents. Make sure no one knows that your there, just do as I say, okay? It’s them, again.”

My heart started beating quickly as I heard his voice. I stood up with the phone pressed to my ear, listening to every word he said. I couldn’t believe that it was him, but why was he panicking? What had they done this time to separate us? I had to find out; I couldn’t just leave the country without him.

“(YN)? Are you there?”

“Yes, yeah, Justin-“

I could barely get anymore words out of my mouth. I didn’t know what to do, what to say, or how to approach this situation. But if what he said, is what we needed to do, then I wasn’t about to waste time crying to him.

“Yes?” he said quietly.

“I just- I love you.” My voice trailed off.

“I love you too baby. I’ll see you soon, I promise.”

The line went blank and I placed my phone on the desk. I could barely think because my thoughts were so jumbled. I have to get to Canada, that was my only thought at the moment. I ran downstairs as I stuffed my phone in my bra and grabbed Pattie’s arm as soon as I found her. She looked at me like I was crazy, but I just needed to get her out of here, along with the twins.

“Pattie, go to Canada, right now and take the twins with you.” I said as I pulled her arm.

“What are you talking about? Are you crazy?”

“You have to leave now! You’re staying with your parents.”

I yanked her arm and found Fredo right away. Of course, I didn’t have any time to explain, so I just made up a random quick story to tell the both of them.

“Can you just tell everyone that it was an emergency? You know how to lock the house up and everything right?”

“Y-Yeah, just call me later or something.”

I grabbed the twins and let Pattie carry one of them. We didn’t even grab any clothes for them; we just kinda all got in the car and headed to the airport. The twins were anxious and wouldn’t stop asking questions.

“Where we going?” Lyric asked.

“You are going to visit great grandma and grandpa for a little bit.”

They wouldn’t stop whining about their party as we went to the airport. We weren’t recognized as we sneaked in and got to me and Justin’s private jet. We informed the airport and everything, so that they knew all about it. When I let Pattie take them, they cried and begged for me, not wanted to let go of my arms. I tried my best to hold everything together; hold myself together.

“Babies, mommy will see you soon, and I’ll have daddy too.”

That cheered them up somewhat, not really, but I had to let them go. And they had to let me go. I ran straight back to the car and headed to the only place I knew where to go. If Justin was anywhere, he was probably there. Yes, I wasn’t listening to him about going to Canada, but I needed to find him first. I couldn’t believe that these horrible people came back into our lives after 4 years. We had everything sorted out, and if Justin hadn’t done this that one time, we wouldn’t be in this situation.

“Justin! I’m home.” I yelled cheerily as I walked through the door.

It had been such a long day at the studio, I just wanted to cuddle up next to Justin and fall asleep in his arms. I walked across the house and found him standing in the living room with a few men. I had no idea who they were, but they weren’t good news. Justin looked worried as he shot his eyes over to me.

“I’ll find a way.” He said quietly to the main man.

They glared at him and turned to walk out of our house. I stared at them as they left and they just looked me up and down and left. I stared at the door, making sure that they did leave before I said anything to Justin. I turned back to him and parted my lips slightly.

“What the hell was that?” I asked as I walked right up to him.

I was just inches away from him, our chests practically touching. We just got back together and all of a sudden I come home to these random scary bulky men standing in my living room. I could tell that Justin was trying to avoid the topic as we sat down, but I kept going back to it.

“Look, I don’t want anything to happen to you baby. I love you so much, and those men, they want something from me…”

His voice trailed off and he looked away from me. For once in my life, I had seen Justin actually scared. I’d never seen him look like this before; he looked extremely scared of something.

“Justin, what did you do?”

I arrived at the secluded building and used my ID to get in past the guards in the front. I was escorted upstairs to the very top floor, where I knew that evil man was. When I entered his office, it was like a presence of evil surrounding me. I could feel it as the hairs on the back of my neck rose.

“I’ve been expecting you.” He said quietly.

No, it was not like one of those movies where the evil guy turns around in his chair and smirks at you crazily. It was more like he was already turned to me and he was writing on some papers. I mean he was head of this little- well huge- gang; he did have things to do too.

“Where the hell is Justin?” I yelled.

The guards grabbed my arms and held me back from jumping on him. God, I just wanted to tackle him and strangle him to death. This guy was on my nerves, and had been for the past 4 years.

“Justin, Justin, Justin… The more important question should be what will happen to you because of Justin?”

I glared at him. Great, now I had gotten myself in trouble because I didn’t listen to Justin. Yep, if this guy didn’t kill me, Justin was going to, that was for sure. Gosh, he’d be so pissed if he knew that I was here right now. I wondered where he was actually.

“Listen, it’s been 4 years, and everything Justin did was a mistake. He was dumb and young when he made that horrible deal, what do you want with him now?” I pleaded.

“Darling (YN)… Do you know how much you are worth? We can’t have this kind of stuff; you know how this business works. Do you really think that I would let Justin off so easy? He owes me his life, and you and I both know that. That’s life sweetheart, and with Justin Bieber taking from me and not repaying, the punishment won’t be so lenient.”

I stared at him with anger and pain in my eyes. I hadn’t seen Justin in days, and I had no idea where he was, but all I knew was that he was going to be in trouble with more than just this guy when I got home. He obviously wasn’t here, but I couldn’t leave and go find him either way. This guy had threatened and tore apart my family one to many times, and I had to somehow get him away from my family.

“Look, I’ll give you whatever you want. Money? Is that what you want? I have plenty, take it. Just leave my family alone.” I begged.

“You really want to know what I want? I actually have something in mind, now that you’re here. I want more than money. Someone has to pay, and if Justin can’t, than it has to be you or your kids. That way, Justin will understand that this business is serious.”

I thought about it. If it had to be me or my kids, than I’d have to give up my life. Justin wouldn’t have to deal with any more of this, and my kids would be safe behind closed doors. Yes, I’d be giving up everything because of one mistake Justin made, but it was the only way.
