That Should Be
Me
chapter 1
Justin's POV;
"MOM! Where are my shoes? The purple supras? I told you to
clean them!" I screamed from the opposite side of my
Grandparent's house. We have to get to the NeverSayNever
premiere. I can't be late. After all, it's all about me.
"Justin, I don't take orders. If you would ask nicely, i'll
answer you." My mom said. My mom is always wanting me to be
nice. It gets hard after a while. Especially when you're
me.
Being teen pop sensation Justin Bieber isn't all easy and fun
as it turns out to be. Especially here in my hometown. I get
treated, how do you say, like crap.
When I first got noticed, I couldn't walk two blocks from my
house without getting asked thousands of questions, and
flashing cameras with papers and pens being shoved in my face.
Now, I could walk a mile down the road, and no one would bother
noticing me. People would just kick dirt in my face, and keep
going with their day. Apparently I'm a diva. But Im only ,
considered that here. Anywhere else, it's like the good ol'
days. Cameras and notepads.
"Here." My mom said, frustrated, as she shoved my shiny clean
pair of Supras toward me.
"Thanks." I replied. I know I don't appreciate my mom as much
as I should. But I have so much on my mind. I dont have the
time to consider small things like that.
I ran to my grandma and grandpa, and gave them each a half hug.
"Love you guys," I said quickly as I hopped down the steps and
out the door. I only had an hour and a half until I had to be
walking the purple carpet. I was kind of nervous. This is my
first movie. But my fans will love it. It's me.
Alaina's POV;
"Im really going to miss you guys.." I said, almost in tears,
to my group of closest friends.
"Alaina, we're going to miss you the most." My friend Angela
said, clearly failing at keeping her tears contained in her
eyes. I hated moving. It was the worst. I've moved a few times,
but that was a few blocks apart in my hometown of Kennedy, NY.
We're moving to Canada for my dad's job. He's a business man,
and he has the 'perfect business' up in Stratford, Ontario
ready to go. He's fanatic about it.
"I wish I could take all of you with me. I dont want to go. I'd
rather stay here and live in the streets then move elsewhere.
Especially a whole different country." I said through tears,
streaming down my face. "I never thought I would be considered
a Canadian.."
"You'll be the perfect Canadian! You can always add 'ayy' to
the end of everything. And you can, uhh, what else do Canadians
do?" My friend Laura said. Laura always tried to find the
positive side of everything, but today, it wasn't working.
"Laura, you're treating Canadians like they're some sort of
stereo-typical species. I love you, haha." My friend Kayla said
shakily.
"Oh no! What time is it?" I said nervously.
"Umm, it's quarter to five." Angela said, locking her new white
iPod touch.
"Quarter to FIVE? Crap! I was supposed to meet Emily and Derek
at the park at 4:30! I'll call you guys later!" I said quickly,
wiping the tears. I gave them each a meaningful hug. And then
we all came in for a group hug. Our tradition. "I promise i'll
call you all. Bye guys." I said, drearily.
I walked myself to the park, which was about five blocks away
from the open field we were all standing in. I'm late. This is
the last time I was ever going to see these guys and i'm
LATE.
I saw Emily and Derek standing by the swings, and I sped over
to them. "Oh. My. Gosh. I'm soo sorry I'm late!" I said giving
them both a hug with an apologetic smile.
"Laina, it's fine." Emily said laughing. She always thought it
was funny when I made a big deal out of things.
"Yeah, it's only been 15 minutes." Derek said bringing me in
for a tight hug, with a kiss on the cheek following.
"15 minutes wasted that we could have been having fun! I feel
horrible." I said looking away.
Emily and Derek just looked at me like I had just said a cheesy
joke. "It's. Fine." They said in unison. I love these guys. You
see, Emily and I are the closest of friends. We have known each
other since I knew how to open my eyes. And Derek, he's my
two-years-and-running-best-boyfriend-in-the-world
boyfriend.
Derek then reached in his pocket and pulled out a purple heart
shaped box. I could have died right there.
"DEREK. Oh my gosh. You shouldn't have! I-"
"Alaina. Just open it." Derek said smiling. I opened the box,
to uncover a heart shaped necklace, with diamonds encrusted
along the heart, with "D+A" engraved on the underside of the
necklace.
"I-I...I dont know what to say." I said, speechless.
"You don't have to say anything. Just let me put it on you."
Derek said, smiling more than I've ever seen him smile. He
moved my hair, and attached the necklace around my neck. It was
perfect.
"I love you so much." I said hugging him, unexpectedly. He
looked me in the eyes, and put his hand under my chin. "The
feeling is mutual." He said. Then he kissed me. It was the
best, but saddest, kiss I have ever recieved.
"Okay love birds, Alaina's mom just called me, and Alaina's
going to be late to the plane."
I was heartbroken that I had to leave. But..I cant just leave
these guys.
"I'll call you guys when we land..I'm going to miss you guys
more than I'll miss the shoe shop in the mall." I said, as
tears started going down mine, and Emily's faces. I looked at
Derek, and tears were brimming in his eyes too.
We group hugged, then I went over to Derek for one last kiss,
and went to Emily for the last hug. Emily's make up was
smeared, so I figured mine was as well. "Bye beautiful." Derek
said to me softly. That was his last words to me in
person..
Justin's POV;
We got in the car to leave, finally, and I realized that I
forgot my lucky purple watch. "Mom! Don't leave, I gotta go get
something." I yelled as I opened the car door, and bolted up
the stairs and into my room. The words 'new message' read on my
laptop screen, but I was in too much of a rush to check it. I'd
get to it later. I ran back downstairs to see, that my
grandparents havent moved a muscle. Go figure.
I got back in the car, and we finally were on the road. To my
first movie premiere. I was so excited, but kind of nervous.
But why should I be? I'm positive that it's going to be
incredible.
"Mom, can we stop at McDonalds? I could go for some nuggets
right now." I said kind of sarcastically, because I knew there
was no stopping now. But I was starving, so I was also kind of
serious.
"Justin, you're kidding right? You know we're not stopping for
anything. Nothing. You're not going to be late for your own
event." My mom said kind of annoyed. "You shouldn't be joking
around, this is seriou-" My mom cut herself off.
"What?" I said, kind of scared. I looked out the window to see
my childhood monumental building to have a 'Sold!' sign posted
up front. There were big men with construction caps taking down
the letters that used to spell out 'Avon Theatre'. The only
thing that could escape my mouth, was "What?" again. We were
both paler than pale. My mom stopped the car.
Heyy guys!
So, this isn't my story. This is my friend's. She wanted me to
put it on here and tell her what you guys think. She's on
twitter. There's two chapters up already. I can give you her
name thing if you like it. Just let me know, please?(:
ThankYou!! (:

You only live once..
so go
ahead;
scream, as loud as
you want. Make out in the hallways. Spend time with your
friends, lots of it. Because chance are, you won't see them
after you graduate. Play sports. Get good grades. Or, get bad
grades. Because the only person who can judge you, is you.
Eat like a pig. Play video games. Dance like it's not being
recorded. Laugh like it is what you were born to
do.
