I MISS YOU SO MUCH

Chapter 11

“JUSTINNN! PLEASE. OW!” Joanne continued to punch her in her stomach while Justin held her down. “STOPPP! SOMEBODY HELP ME!” She yelled.

~~**~~**~~

Justin woke up to hear a voice. He cut his lamp on and saw Rebecca kicking and yelling in her sleep. “Becca…becca” he shook her and patted her.

~~**~~**~~

“Rebecca” Rebecca looked up to hear someone call her, but she didn’t know who. Her eyes scanned the crowd as the voice got louder. “Help me. Pleasseee!”

~~**~~**~~

“Someone help me”

“Becca. Wake up” he slapped her on her face. He quickly got a glass of water and dripped some on her face.

~~**~~**~~

It started to rain. Justin and Joanne dropped Rebecca on the floor and ran for shelter. She was knocked out cold.

~~**~~**~~

Rebecca squinted her eyes open to see Justin. “Oh, Justin.” She wrapped him in her arms and cried. She suddenly broke away and slapped him cold in the face.

“Ow. What was that for?” he rubbed his aching face.

“Why did you let Joanne beat me up? You held me down…and made her punch me in the stomach” she cried.

“What are you talking about?”

“I was calling for help, but no one answered.” She sniffled, and looked around. “Where am I? I’m still in the dream. Oh no…” she jumped out of bed. “Joanne might jump out any where and try to beat me up.” She ran for the hotel door.

“Rebecca.” Justin quickly cut the lamp on and ran up to her. “You’re naked. You can’t go out there like that” he walked closer to her.

“Stay away from me. You’re just trying to smooth talk me into your trap so you can hold me down and let Joanne punch me in my stomach. I can’t let that happen. She can’t punch me in my stomach.”

“Rebecca…calm down. It was all a dream.” He approached her.

“Get back. Don’t come near me”

“Rebecca…it was a dream. Look…” he pinched her.

“Ow.” She closed her eyes and slowly opened them. “How come I didn’t wake up.”

“Because you’re already awoke. You’re not dreaming anymore.” She looked around and suddenly started to cry.

“It felt so real.” He hugged her and led her to the bed. They sat down.

“Becca…you scared me. You can’t be doing that. I thought something bad was going to happen.” She broke away and laid under the covers. He joined her side and looked into her eyes.

“I’m sorry. I don’t know what happened. I’ll try not to let it happen again. I promise.” She kissed him and closed her eyes.

“What did you mean about…she couldn’t punch you in the stomach? Are you hiding something from me?”

“Uh…no. I don’t know what I was saying”

“Okay. Goodnight, baby” he closed his eyes and drowsed back off to sleep.

*~THE NEXT DAY~*

“I’m going to try this on” she said as she held up a 2 piece tommy outfit.

“Okay. I’ll be waiting here” he said as he took a seat by the dressing rooms.

“Okay.” She walked up to the dressing rooms. Justin stared at her 2 piece dolphin outfit. The blue, sparkling, long skirt flowed in the air with every move she made. You could get a good glimpse of her satin, smooth  splits on the side revealing them. And her nice tummy that only showed on her chest part. She looked like a beauty queen.

“Justin…” someone woke him out of his thoughts. He looked up to see…Joanne. She had on a yellow v shaped tube top and a knee high flower skirt. She looked pretty as always.

“Joanne…what are you doing here?”

“Watching you and you’re little sister shop. You never told me you had a sister. Why?”

“Because I don’t have one” she looked confused.

“Well…who is she?” they both watched as she came out with the tommy outfit on. She approached Justin.

“Why don’t you ask her yourself”

“How do you like?” he stood up and kissed her on the lips.

“You look beautiful. As always.” He quickly glimpsed at Joanne. Joanne eyed them both down. “Those shorts are so short”

“That’s why they call them shorts” they both giggled.

“You’re so funny, baby” he sat down and Rebecca sat on his lap. She looked up to see Joanne.

“Justin, why is this lady staring at us?”

“Hi…my name is Joanne” she extended a hand and shook hers.

“Wow…Justin. She has the same name as your ex”

“She is my ex.” Rebecca looked back up to see Joanne.

“Joanne? Justin’s ex?”

“Yep” she smiled.

“You BITCH!” Rebecca jumped up and got a hold of Joanne’s hair. Justin stood up and barged between them.

“Stop it. We’re in the public’s eye. This is not the time to make a fool of yourselves.”

“She punched me in my stomach.” 

“It was a dream, Becca. Understand?” she sat down. “And why are you so aggressive over your stomach so sudden?”

“Uh…I don’t know. I’m going to take these clothes off. Could I get it?”

“Yeah. And hurry…you have to meet my parents.” She smiled and ran in the dressing room.

Justin stared at Joanne. “Sorry for what just happened.”

“Don’t apologize. That BITCH should apologize.”

“Hey. Don’t call her that.” He pointed to her.

“She messed my hair up.”

“And? You still didn’t look cute with the hair style fixed.”

“Look…Justin. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to break up with you over something so stupid.”

“Mmm hmm” he hummed sarcastically.

“I’m serious. I didn’t realize what good thing I had until I lost it. I miss you so much, Justin”

“Well, sorry. But it’s the end.” He watched as Rebecca walked up to him. “You ready, baby?”

“Yeah.”

“Okay. Let’s go pay for your things.” He looked at Joanne. “It was nice seeing you.” They walked away.
