*Justin's P.O.V*

I was woken up to see Aria sliding her head on top of my chest. I put my arm around her and kissed the top of her head. Jake, was the only name that kept crossing my mind. Who was this guy? What had he done to her? "Justin.." She whispered. I saw her squinting up at me. "Yes beautiful?" I asked her. She placed her hand on my stomach, I quivered at her touch. My cuts were healing and so were the bruises. It was much harder because my diet was completely messed up so my body couldn't heal as fast. "I'm ready to tell you. Everything" She said. I was surprised, believe me or not, I was over the moon about it. But it was astonishing.

"Okay. I'll be here for you no matter what. Okay? For now, get some rest and we'll talk later." I told her while pressing my lips against hers. "Babe we're out of food. Can I go out and get something for us and I have to get your medicine?" I knew she wouldn't say no because she was still extremely exhausted from her nervous breakdown. "Okay Justin. Be good." She said warning me. Before leaving I checked out on her and she was knocked out asleep on the bed. She didn't call the guards, I'd be alone and I could call Jess. She'd tell my mother everything so it's okay. I went over and kissed her forehead.

** Phone Call Third Person **

Justin approached a phone booth. He dialled Jess's cell number as rapidly as he could. The persistency of the bell was killing Justin. This was the only time Justin could get ahold of Jess. "Pick up pick up.. God Jess pick up.." He mumbled to himself. "Hello?" Jess said quite out of breathe. "Hey.." Justin said not sure of what Jess would do. "Oh my Lord. Justin! You're okay?" She said with concern evident in her voice.

"Yes baby. I'm fine. I can't explain everything on the phone. We will have to meet up. Just tell my mom I'm okay. And that I'll keep in contact through Johnny." He told her quickly. Justin could hear that she coughed on the word 'baby' but it was probably because they weren't on the best terms.

"Okay. Justin. When?" She asked. Justin felt like someone was staring at him so he arched back to look. He didn't see anyone and went back to his phone call. "Okay so my concert begins on September 7th. So after that I'll come to Ely. Is that okay?" Justin asked Jess. "Of course, you're still my husband. We may not be together. But I'm here for you" she said consoling Justin. "Okay. I love you. I have to go. I'll have to contact you only" Justin told her quickly. "I love you too Justin. I have to tell you--" Jess was about to tell him about the baby but he cut the phone off.

** Justin's P.O.V **

I walked home with Italian food in the bag. I could only hope that Aria didn't find out anything. I walked up in to our hotel room. I set up the dinner area and decided I should take a shower before waking Aria up. Now, I had a chance to tell Jess what was up with me. I sighed in relief.

* Aria's P.O.V *

I knew that Justin was talking to Jess earlier. My guys were following him the whole time. But I wasn't going to hurt him this time. If he wanted he could've dumped me at the hospital and left." My guards weren't on duty then and he knew that. Or when I was at home under morphine drugs to put me to sleep so I wouldn't use my brain too much he could've left then too. But he didn't, I was going to tell him about Jake. I was actually starting to get better, I didn't feel the need to abuse. Ugh. What was he doing to me what was happening?

I opened my eyes to find Justin only in his boxers and his body soaking wet. I pretended to sleep again. I turned around and peeked at him secretly. His body was perfect, but then I saw those cuts I put on him. I felt guilty and terrible for doing what I did. "You like what you see huh?" I saw Justin grinning at me and standing in front of me in only his shorts. "Mhm I love it" I said while a blush crept up my neck. He bent down and kissed me. "Dinner's ready pretty" he told me. Then I felt two strong arms wrap around my body and swoop me up. "Oh Justin! I love you!" I giggled while burying my face in to his bare chest. His hair was messy and wet.

"Guess what I brought you?! Because I'm perfect and I know what you like!" I cockily said to her. "Oh my God, you got me Italian ?!" She shrieked in happiness! I nodded and put her down. I realized how happy he made me, he was perfect.

"Babe. I'm going to be honest, I used the phone to call Jess." He said bluntly. That made me love him even more that he was being honest. I saw him look scared. I patted his hand that was resting on my leg. "It's okay. I trust you. I know you need proper closure and you may meet with her once" I said firmly. I didn't want him to know that he was in charge now. I still wanted a say in everything he did.

He weakly smiled at me and hugged me. "Thank you" he said happily. He pulled me on to his lap and kissed my cheek. We were done eating, it was the first time he ate fully and properly. He looked relieved. Suddenly he started tickling me. "No no! Justin stop!" I laughed hysterically. He started running towards the bedroom. "Oh I'm going to get you!" I yelled out at him and started chasing him. He stuck out his tongue at me. "Oh no you won't yogi" He said in his boo boo voice. That gave me an idea for our nick names "You just did not. Boo boo! I'm coming!" I tackled him from his back and knocked him on the ground.

I lied on top of him, we both were laughing crazily. Until I felt a pillow hit me. "Justin! You're messed up!" I got up and got myself a pillow and started hitting him. We had feathers flying everywhere until Justin threw me on the bed and lied beside me. We both were out of our breathe and laughing crazily. He moved in closer his lips were brushing against mine until I joined our lips together.

He licked my lips for entrance. I parted them and let him. We stayed like this for while until I whispered "Jake" in to his bare chest.

* Justin's P.O.V *

I sat up straight up looking at her seriously. "Aria. I need to you tell me who Jake is. It'll help you. Babe. Let it out" I whispered gently to her. Tears rolled down her face and she nodded while shifting closer to me. I picked her up and put her on my lap. I watched her as she wrapped her legs around my waist. She buried her face in my chest and cried. "Shh beautiful" I whispered soothingly in her ear. I stroked her hair and let her calm down. I felt her nails dig in to my bare back. I winced in pain but shook it off. "Aria talk to me" I reassured her that I was here for her.

I put hand under her chin and shifted her face so that her face wasn't in my chest. I looked at her with care evident in my eyes. "Jake.. Was my one and only.. ex boyfriend" she managed to say. I nodded and firmed my grip on her so she knew that I was here for her. "He..he... He used to abuse me." She said with her voice cracking. I kissed her cheek. "Oh my God. You're so beautiful.. Why would he?" I formed to say. "I don't know..." she said. "He used to tell me I was beautiful.. Then come and cut me and hit me..." She said while crying. "He raped me too... Several times.. I wanted to wait till marriage.. But... I---" she burst in to tears.

"Oh baby. No no." I said getting angry at that guy. I felt my jaw clenching tight and my knuckles were going white at the tip of the bones. "He uh I did this because of him. I felt the urge for the pain. It's like a drug. He uh made me like this.." She said not sure how to talk. I rubbed her back and nodded.

"No it's okay. Just promise you won't do it like this anymore. I can help you through this." I said. I couldn't take more pain either. Her eyes bloodshot red from crying. "I don't deserve you.. Look at me I'm so ugly... All my cuts and bruises. I'm ugly. He made me ugly. I'm not pure. I'm ugly. IM UGLY!!" She screamed. I pulled her in to a hug and kissed her cheek.

"No you're beautiful" I whispered to her. She was crying loudly it was hurting me. I decided to sing to her. I pressed my lips on her ear and sang soothingly.

Said all I want from you is to see you tomorrow

And every tomorrow, maybe you'll let me borrow your heart

And is it too much to ask for every Sunday

And while we're at it, throw in every other day to start

I know people make promises all the time

Then they turn right around and break them

When someone cuts your heart open with a knife, now you're bleeding

But I could be that guy to heal it over time

And I won't stop until you believe it

'Cause baby you're worth it

Now how about I'd be the last voice you hear tonight?

And every other night for the rest of the nights that there are

Every morning I just wanna see you staring back at me

'Cause I know that's a good place to start

I know people make promises all the time

Then they turn right around and break them

When someone cuts your heart open with a knife, now you're bleeding

Don't you know that I could be that guy to heal it over time

And I won't stop until you believe it

'Cause baby you're worth it

So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me

'Cause you might look around and find your dreams come true, with me

Spent all your time and your money just to find out that my love was free

So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me, me

It's not a bad thing to fall in love with me, me

Not such a bad thing to fall in love with me

(Not such a bad thing to fall in love with me)

No I won't fill your mind

With broken promises and wasted time

And if you fall, you'll always land right in these arms

These arms of mine

Don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me

'Cause you might look around and find your dreams come true, with me

Spent all your time and your money just to find out that my love was free

So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me, me

It's not a bad thing to fall in love with me, me

Not such a bad thing to fall in love with me!

I finished singing I saw her looking up at me. She wasn't crying any more. She had a crooked smile on her face. I took my thumb and wiped the last tear rolling down her eyes. "Don't waste your tears on people who aren't worth it. Okay?" I told her. She nodded and kissed my cheek. She hugged me inhaling a deep breathe. "I love you Justin. I'm sorry. Thank you for being here. Please forgive m-" I cut her off by putting my lips against hers. "No. I understand why you did it. Just no more. Promise yogi? I said holding my pinkie out. She wrapped her pinkie with mine and smiled at me. "Promise boo boo".

I think I was actually starting to fall for her. Maybe, I was only going to see Jess for closure. Maybe her and I shouldn't get divorced but separate and be able to see other people if we please. September 8th was day I'd see her. And today was August 29th. Around in 10 days I'd see the woman I loved. Why did I use past tense? Did I not still love her? I was thinking while I noticed that Aria had fallen asleep holding my pinkie. I rested my head on her head and fell asleep as well.
