Chapter 6:

May 6th, 2017

8:00pm

 

“Alright, now should we have some questions?” I asked the crowd.

They went wild and I cued the twitter session part of my concert. I had this at every concert, and it’d already been 12 months since the beginning of my tour. It’d been tough, but I’d gotten through it easily, especially now that Justin’s tour was over and he was only recording and writing. It seemed as if he was always busy writing or recording or with our kids or preparing for his next album or something to that extent. He had finished his 3rd tour with a bang and fans wanted more, but he decided to wait until the twins were at least 4 until doing another world tour. He said maybe a US tour or European tour now and then, but nothing big.

“Okay first question…” I looked up at the big board behind me, “are you going to be making a movie for one of your tours? Well, you caught me! For my next tour, I want it to be filmed so that I can share it with you guys!”

The crowd went wild and I couldn’t help but laugh. I continued to answer questions about my music until some other personal questions came in.

“Next question… How are the twins?” I said aloud as I smiled widely.

“Lyric and Melody are doing great, they have been hanging out with Daddy a lot so that I can get my work done but-“

The crowd’s screams interrupted my talking and I gave them a funny look before turning around on my heel. I saw Justin walking out on stage holding Lyric in one arm and Melody in the other. I couldn’t help but smile and walk up to him.

“Hi babies.” I said.

I gave them both kisses on the cheek and they buried their heads in Justin’s shirt. They were wearing headphones to block out all of the screams from my fans. Justin set both of them down and bent down with them as I turned back towards the crowd.

“Okay everybody, be quiet.” I said.

I bent down next to Justin, making sure that you couldn’t see under my dress, and took Melody’s hand. I slipped off her headphones once the crowd quieted and put the microphone up to her and asked her questions.

“Mel, what do you think of mommy’s concert?” I asked.

“Fun!” she yelled.

The crowd stayed quiet as they awe’d and cheered for Mel. Justin picked up Lyrics and stood next to me as we asked them questions. They could only answer with one or two words, because they were only 18 months yet.

“Can you guys sing your ABC’s?” Justin asked them.

They both sang them up to about G before they stopped. They still had yet to learn the rest, and we were working on that. Sadly, they knew mine and Justin’s songs better than their ABC’s. But it was cute when they’d hum along to the words and try to sing them by making noises. They were cute and I loved having them up on stage at my last concert, but soon they left and we continued with one more question from the fans...

“Last question… When are you getting married?”

I looked behind me to see Justin backstage smiling and giving me a thumbs up. We finally set a date, seeing he proposed to me over 3 years ago. We just hadn’t had time for a wedding lately, but now that the twins were getting older, we thought that now would be perfect.

“Actually, Justin proposed to me over 3 years ago and we just recently set a date. We’ve planned out our whole wedding, and I’ve picked out a dress, so we thought that next month would be perfect. Our wedding will be on June 20th, 2017.”

The crowd went wild and I giggled into the microphone. I wasn’t expecting it either when Justin ran out back out on stage and picked me up bridal style. I blushed as he carried me off of the stage slowly, walking backwards. I waved to the crowd and blew kisses.

“Thanks for having me tonight! This was the best last show of my tour!” I yelled.

Justin took me off of the stage and to our twins. I hugged them both and they were all smiley and talkative. Of course, no one could understand them, but they still attempted to congratulate me with kisses and hugs.

I had so many people ask me how I did it; giving birth so young to twins. It was easy; I just had a loving soon to be husband and family. They loved me, I loved them, and it was that simple. And when people would ask me about our crazy schedules, I’d just tell them that we managed to cope with it. I mean we fit in time for kids- didn’t we?

I went right back to my dressing room and changed, taking the twins with me. They were just so excited to be with me on tour that they were so jumpy and talkative. They didn’t really put sentences together yet, but they knew some of their ABC’s and numbers 1-10. When I was done changing into sweats and a tank top, we walked out and went to find Justin. I looked around, searching everywhere, but he was nowhere to be found. I ran into Scooter, which was odd because I didn’t expect to see him here.

“Hey, have you seen Justin?” I asked right away.

“No, I was actually going to ask the same question to you.”

“Oh, well why are you here?” I asked with a smile.

“I wanted to see your last concert!”

I gave him a hug and he greeted the kids the same way. We decided to look for Justin together, but we still couldn’t find him. This was really odd; maybe he had a surprise for me… He always did this to me, but he usually surprised me sooner than this. I looked back out on the now empty arena but there were just people taking things down. I walked over to the microphone and took it in my hands and looked around one last time.

“Justin Bieber, if you are in the arena, come find me because I wanna go home.” I announced.

I waited backstage with Pattie and Scooter and the twins for a few minutes, but no sign of Justin. I started freaking out on everyone possible, I mean where could he have disappeared to now.

“Daddy?” Lyric asked me.

I picked her up in my arms while Pattie held Melody.

“I don’t know where Daddy is Lyric. Maybe he’ll be at home.”

Pattie and I left the arena and drove home. Luckily my concert was in San Diego, so that we could drive home. I thought for sure that Justin would have called me, but nothing. I didn’t want to call him yet, not until the twins were at home and sleeping. Otherwise they might freak out and whine.

Pattie and I got home and put them in their PJ’s right away. I stayed upstairs with them to get them to go to bed while Pattie went downstairs and tried calling Justin.

“Mommy, I want Daddy.” Melody said.

“Me too Mel, you’ll see him tomorrow morning, okay?”

“Daddy now!” Lyric yelled.

“Honey, if you go to sleep right now, I’ll promise you that you can see Daddy tomorrow morning. Right when you get up, I’ll have Daddy up here to surprise you. Now get some sleep, or you won’t see daddy tomorrow.”

They both closed their eyes tight and I couldn’t help but laugh. If only Justin were here to see. I sang to them a little and before I knew it they were both passed out. The concert must’ve token a toll on the both of them; like it always did.

I walked downstairs quietly and saw Pattie sitting on the couch with the TV off. She looked concerned as she stood and turned to me and handed me my phone. Without any words, I dialed Justin’s number. I was expecting it to ring, but nothing. The only thing I heard was, ‘The number you have dialed has been disconnected.’

I turned to Pattie and swallowed hard. How was this possible? It was working properly earlier? I sat down and kept dialing. Pattie had to stop me and take the phone out of my hands. I didn’t know how to feel, but all I knew was that I had to find Justin before tomorrow morning for the twins. I made a promise, and I couldn’t break it.

“Maybe he just broke his phone.” I suggested.

“If you break your phone, it will still ring.”

“Maybe someone stole it and he disabled it and he went looking for it.”

Pattie put her arms around me and I felt my heart drop. We both knew that both of those scenarios didn’t happen. We both knew that somehow, Justin had disappeared out of nowhere. And no one saw him, which seemed even more impossible.

“Let’s just sleep on it, okay? He’ll show up tomorrow.” Pattie whispered in my ear.

I took a deep breath and nodded as I stood up. I headed back to me and Justin’s room and got ready for bed. It was different; standing in the bathroom and brushing my teeth alone. It was different as I put on my pajamas and didn’t see Justin standing across the room. Yeah, I’ve been alone like this before, but this time I didn’t know where Justin was. I laid down and covered myself in our blanket. I turned over to see an empty bed, with only me in it. This sucked, if Justin ever did this to me again, I think I would die.

I got into a half sleep, but I kept tossing and turning. I couldn’t sleep knowing that Justin was gone, it was hard. I just wanted to find him and hug him and never let go again. I didn’t know how I’d let him out of my site after this incident.

Instead of trying to get some sleep, I decided to step outside and breathe. I stepped on the back patio down by the pool and sat on the bench. I rocked back and forth slightly with the wind. It was sort of calming, but it wasn’t at the same time.

“Mommy?”

I looked over to see Mel standing in the doorway. I stood up quickly and she ran over to me. I held her in my arms and we sat down together on the bench. Luckily I had a light blanket to cover us both as she laid in my lap.

“Where is Daddy?” her soft voice whispered.

As I looked at her, I almost teared up. But I had to act tough in front of my kids, especially in a moment like this. She looked so much like Justin; I could barely look at her. She had his big brown eyes and his soft brown hair.

“Daddy went somewhere special.”

I didn’t know what to say to her. She didn’t reply though, luckily. I didn’t know how to tell a three year old that her dad was missing and nowhere to be found. I got lost in my thoughts as I sat there and stared at the calm pool water. He could be gone for days or even months… God forbid years, but it’s still possible. Days… Great, the twins birthday was in two days, and Justin wasn’t even here. If he didn’t make it to their birthday, that’d mean he’s probably never coming back.
