"We have to go, I don´t know what these papparazzi people want and I just want to get out of this place. how do you deal with all this Justin? this is crazy."
We both looked at who was talking. It was my dad standing by the door and gesturing that I should go.
"Well, that´s my life! you get used to it after some time. they can be pretty annoying sometimes but some of them are kinda respectful."
"Bye."
"Good-bye and have a safe journey back home."
"thanks."
I was about to walk out when I heard someone shout, "see you later!". See me later? what did that even mean? I walked out of the door and it was like hell had broken loose. There were papparazzi and newsreporters everywhere.
"Why did you run away?" "Are you okey?" "did someone kidnapp you?" "do you want to set up an interview?" "who was it you were staying with an what connection do you have with them?"
"Just leave me alone, I have no comment!" It was so crazy and my dad and some security guards had to push the people away abit so I could get to the car. They were everywhere, all wanting to make me talk. How did Justin really deal with all this everyday?!
"She doesn´t have anything to say! We are just happy she is safe and sound. We just want to go home and celebrate her return if that is not too much to ask!"
I got in the car and quicly shut the door. From nowhere, there was a bang on my sister´s window and she screaned so loud my eardrums almost burst. She has a terrified expression on her face.
"What the hell! Go away!"
"We just want to ask you some questions!" the man outside the window shouted. The cameramen were all up at my window side trying to get a look at me for thier news reports that evening. I guess I had made some headlines while I was gone. I bent down to hide my face. I hope all this is going to be over soon. I want my old life back. I thought to myself.
As soon as my dad was inside, we immediaely took off.
"I always wanted to be a celebrity but that is way too crazy for me. I don´t have time for all that!" I looked at my sister who was leaning her head in the glass window.
"That´s the life of a celebrity!" I said.
After a suffiecient amount of awkward silence, my sister had something to say,
"I still feel like am dreaming! This is the best day of my life. getting to meet Justin and Nicki all at the same time in the same room! Maybe you running away was both a blessing and a curse!"
"I guess it was but please don´t do that again. It almost killed us with fear. You know we love you right!"
"Yes mom. I know you guys love me and I love you too."
"Good. Now lets get home!"
"I miss my room and you guys too."
I looked dowm at my hand, I was still holding the purple box.
"What´s that?" my sister asked curiously.
"I don´t know. lets find out."
I opened the lid of the box. there was a small white envelope, I took it out there it was, one of Justin´s priced possesions.
"No kidding! Is he for real! This is like one of the most treasured things he cherishes. Why would he give it to me?!"
"I would say he´s crazy but he did call you his friend and it seems like he trusts you so much for him to give that to you."
"What are you guys talking about?" my dad spoke this time.
"Just look what Justin gave me!"
I held out the box and gave it to my mom to show my dad because he was driving.
"that´s really nice. He gave that to you?" he didn´t sound that impressed, more like sacarstic but I was too overwhelmed to care.
There is almost no photo that Justin has taken without it. I was speechless. like literally speechless. All I could feel at that particular moment was pride and a huge dose of happiness, thankfulness plus excitment.
I closed my eyes to and thankfull but quietly prayed to The Almight God. It´s not like you get such kind of oportunities everyday.
So I removed it from the box and held it close to my heart.
"yeap. It´s all mine and I´ll keep it forever!"
I smiled to myself.

(chapter 12) SURPRISE!!
The voice sounded rather familiar but I couldn´t figure out where I heard it before.
Justin went to the door "Nicki."
"Nicki??" what was she doing here this early in the morning. I thought to myself, rather confused.
They hugged and Justin escorted her into the apartment to my sister. "I would like you to meet one of your biggest fan!"
All my sister did was stare from Justin to Nicki, Justin to Nicki.
"Oh My Barb, N....Nicki.....Nicki Minaj!!" she said repeatedly. I think someone should wake me up really fast before I start believing this dream is reality."
Nicki just smiled, "Hello! How are you sweetie?"
My sister was now in tears, crying like a baby, no words came out when she tried to speak. Nicki hugged her tight "It´s okey, don´t cry beautiful."
"I love you so much. you music, the monster attitude, your crazy clothes and the awsome hair! Aaaaaaah! Barb forever!" my sister managed to say. Then Nicki moved in to greet all of us, we had ofcourse met at the shooting of the Beauty And A Beat music video but that was pretty much it.
"We can take some pics and take them home with you if you want and take them home with you."
"Ofcourse...." was all my sister could say.
they posed and took some pictures with my parents camera before it was time to go.
"I hate goodbyes!"
"i hate them too. It´s the hardest part."
my parents were already at the door. I went to where Angel was standing.
"Am so sorry for everything and thank you for taking care of me and letting me stay here with you, it was amazing and I couldn´t ask for more. you are the best."
"It´s all forgiven and almost forgotten, no big deal. you can come and visit me anytime but only with your parents´ knowledge and permission. okey."
"Perfectly okey with me. Thanks."
"you are welcomed, anytime. I told yah L.A was the place where dreams come true!"
"And you were right!"
we hugged for the last time.
"Goodbye."
"Bye."
Justin was standing by the door but my parents were already outside. they had taken my bag with them.
"Am gonna miss you! very very much."
"Am gonna miss you too. It´s so weird that I can here as a Belieber but am going back a Belieber and your friend."
Tears were coming to my eyes but I managed to push them back. I was determined to be strong. wasn´t gonna cry on the last day.
"I´ll walk you to your car. If it´s okey."
"Yeah sure, thanks."
We were at the main door waiting to get out when Justin stopped, reached out for his pocket and removed something. I couldn´t make out what it was coz he immediately hid it behind him.
"Before you go, I wanna give you something."
I was abit surprised.
"What?!"
"close your eyes and promise you wouldn´t open them."
"I promise!" I said that closing my eyes tight. I felt him take my hand and placed something on my palm and closed it. It felt like a small box.
"I got it for you, it was mine when I was little, my dad made me two of them and I want you to have one. Don´t look until you get in the car. you can open your eyes now."
I looked down at the small purple box that was in my hand, I was overwhelmed with emotions, "thank you for everthing Justin. what is this by the way!"
"a surprise!" he answered back.
"Surprise huh!"
Justin went to the door "Nicki."
"Nicki??" what was she doing here this early in the morning. I thought to myself, rather confused.

(chapter 11) REUNION!!
Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding Dong!
"Mmmmh...." I mummered sleepily.
"I think your parents are here, wake up!", I heard someone say, the voice sounded familiar.
"What time is it?"
"Eight thirty."
"Eight thirty?" I fully awoke on realising what time it was. Justin was already up and had taken a shower I think, coz he looked fresh, unlike me.
"Oh crap! my parents are here." The door bell rang again and I heard someone open the door. I rushed into the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth then went to the kitchen when I heard footsteps approaching the into the apartment, Justin stayed in the room.
"She is in her room, I´ll just go get her. Am very sorry for what you have been through, she told me that you gave her permision to come a visit me here for some time because of some family issues that she didn´t want to tell me about. I should have called anyway, Am very sorry."
"It okey, it was not your fault." i heard my dad´s voice say.
I stepped ut of my bedroom before Angel could come get me. My heart was beating so hard, I turned back and looked at Justin. he was smiling and mumming "go,go,go."
My mom, dad and sister were all standing in front of me and there was that awkward moment of silence, trying to suck in the moment. My mom had tears on her face as she ran towards me with open arms, then my dad followed as my mom and I were hugging tightly. My sister was last, she believes in saving the best for last and tears ran down as we hugged. Angel was just standing there, watching from a distance, she was smiling.
Then after the whole "reunion" was over, I turned back and looked towards my room. "Guys, this is......" Justin came out as I was speaking but I didn´t even have the chance to finish what I was about to say.
"No way, I must be dreaming! somebody wake me up or slap me with a dead fish! Is.....is that......is that Ju..ju...ju or am I seeing ghosts now?" My sister said rather loudly.
Justin approached my parents and greated them, "Good morning Ma´am, and Sir, how do you?"
"Goodmorning." they said in unison, then my mom spoke."I´ve seen you somewhere, you look very familiar"
"That´s Justin Bieber, the boy whose pictures are all over her room and on the albums she buys and on her computer and phone, the boy who sang Boyfriend and As Long As You Love Me, the songs she likes to play all the time in the car and in her room. If I was your boyfriend I´ll never let you go, swag swag swag !!" Everyone burst out laughing. My dad was trying to rap Boyfriend and it was the most halarious thing ever!
"Dad! stop,don´t do that again. Like seriously." i said almost breathless from the laugh.
By her, my dad meant me. I was surprised beyond words, my dad remembered all that? Maybe he does pay attention to me. I was really impressed.
"Oh, yes. I have heard alot about you from you know who." my mom added, looking at me.
"I´ve heard abut about you too and it´s a pleasure to meet you." Justin smiled.
"the pleasure is all ours." my parents said together again in unison, it was like they were in a choir mood.
Then he moved to my sister who couldn´t stop staring at him.
"Do you now believe that it was me who called you on the phone?"
She nodded, "Am sorry for what I said.....I..."
He gave her a hug, "Now you know am not a ghost and by the way, It´s cool, I might have said the same thing too if an unknown person called me and claimed it was beyonce." Daaah! That is Justin´s celebrity crush and I knew that! basic belieber information.
"Justin!" I saw someone peep into the apartment.
My sister turned back and I wish i recorded the expression on her face when she saw her, she almost fell down in shock!
"Mmmmh...." I mummered sleepily.
"I think your parents are here, wake up!", I heard someone say, the voice sounded familiar.
"What time is it?"
"Eight thirty."
"Eight thirty?" I fully awoke on realising what time it was. Justin was already up and had taken a shower I think, coz he looked fresh, unlike me.

(chapter 10) LAST MINUTES!!
Then came an answer from shaky/crying voice.
"Aaaaaaaaahhh.............." she started screaming "Rocky! Is that really you?"
"Yeah, how are you?"
"Where are you? Please come back home. Everyone is worried sick and some even thought you had passed.....Sorry, am good, what about you? I miss so much"
"I miss you too. And am fine. Are mom and dad there?"
"Yeap, you wanna talk to them?"
"Yes, please."
I heard her shout as loud as she possibly could:
"Mom! Dad! It´s Rocky! she is on the phone and wants to talk to you! come quick before she hangs up or something. Run! Hurry!"
I started trembling so Justin gave me a hug and then held my hand tight:
"You are doin great! Am so proud of you" He smiled reasurringly
"Hello. This is Grace and Chris speaking."
"Mom, Dad."
"Oh My God!! Rocky! Baby where are you? Are you okey?"
"Am fine mom. I´ll be coming home soon, I will be there tomorrow afternoon"
"Let us come and get you sweetie, even if it means right now" My Dad answered this time.
"No it´s okey. I can find my way Dad."
"Okey, we will be waiting for you when you arrive, we miss and love you very much. Can´t wait for you to come home. We are happy that you are okey."
"Am sorry for putting you through all this and I love you guys very much too."
"We are also sorry if we did anything to make you run away, we were just trying to help you."
Tears were just flowing down my cheeck like a river.
"I know that. I gotta go. I love you."
"Don´t go, Rocky, We love you too"
I hung up.
"That wasn´t so bad, now was it. You are brave. Most people won´t dare to do what you did."
Then Justin hugged me again. I wiped the tears from my eyes.
"I feel like am in a movie or something" he said sarcastically.
I smiled "Well, am full of drama"
We both laughed at that.
"Thank you for being there for me. Now I gotta go and explain to Angel what is really going on."
"Do you need me there with you too? I don´t mind."
"Aaaaam.....I really don´t want to bother you but since you insisted, yes please" I said jokingly.
Scooter came into the room.
"I knew it was you I saw........" he paused for some time......"This was a huge mess you have got Justin into. This is going to be everywhere. In the newspapper, TV and radio! Am sure of it"
"Hey Scoot, come down! Am taking her home tomorrow. Nobody except her parents know. the press doesn´t have to know."
"No you´re not, what will you say when they see you and ask you how you know her?"
"I´ll say she is a friend."
"Justin..."
"I´ve made up my mind, she is a belieber and a more over, a friend so I want to escote her home."
he stopped to search for a good answer.
"Fine. You are old enough to decide for yourself. Have a nice trip and stay safe."
Then he left but then came back after a minute or so.
"You have to go and get packing coz you have a flight very early in the morning, the private plane will be waiting for you guys."
"thank you." I said greatfully
"We better get going." Justin added
Angel was waiting for me outside her in the hallway.
"I trusted you with whatever story you told me. I should have just called your parents first to confirm if what you were telling me was true. But don´t worry, I called them and they are on their way here. They will be here around 8 am."
She looked really pissed off, her eyes red with anger. Justin and I followed her into her apartment but she headed immediately for her bedroom.
"Close the door when you leave Justin or sleep in the other guest room if you wish to."
WOW!! she was more than pissed, probalby very angry but I managed to tell her goodnight before she shut her door.
"That was something!" I said quietly
"You bet. Can we do something fun together before you go home? Maybe am not going to see yah again"
I looked at the clock on the wall, it was about eleven at night.
"Like what? We have only nine hours and am out of crazy stuff to do you know!"
"We could take some funny videos and pics and I´ll keep them for myself"
"Let´s do it!"
"Aaaaaaaaahhh.............." she started screaming "Rocky! Is that really you?"
"Yeah, how are you?"
"Where are you? Please come back home. Everyone is worried sick and some even thought you had passed.....Sorry, am good, what about you? I miss so much"
"I miss you too. And am fine. Are mom and dad there?"
"Yeap, you wanna talk to them?"
"Yes, please."

"Am fine mom. I´ll be coming home soon, I will be there tomorrow afternoon"
"Let us come and get you sweetie, even if it means right now" My Dad answered this time.
"No it´s okey. I can find my way Dad."
"Okey, we will be waiting for you when you arrive, we miss and love you very much. Can´t wait for you to come home. We are happy that you are okey."
