"You need to get your life together, lets make more music, produce some tracks, star in a movie, something's gotta give! Justin you're twenty two, lets get it together." Scooter spoke sternly into the phone.

I sighed, "I understand, man."

"Good, come over to my place later and we'll talk business?"

"Sure, whatever you want."

"I'm not trying to be or sound harsh, you just got fans who adore you and want the best for you. And so do I."

I nodded to myself, "I appreciate your concerns and you're absolutely right."

"Alright I gotta go, see you soon?"

"Yeah," I hung up, looking down...

What am I going to do?

"When do you think you'll be home?" My mom asked me, "I need to know when I should start making dinner."

I shrugged, "I don't know mom, I'll be back later." I spat back, annoyed.

Friends as in Preston and Justin, I already told Ava, and Rikki is coming with us. So... here comes the truth. Now or never.

I'm on my way now

doors open

******************************

"How are you?" Justin asked concerned. "I'm fine?" I questioned, "why wouldn't I be?"

"Just making sure." He said quickly.

I rolled my eyes, "Justin we had sëx, we didn't kill anybody. Calm down."

"Why did you come over here?" He than bluntly asked. I sighed, "right."

I fiddled with my fingers while looking down, "We're not getting back together."

"And why the hell not?" He spat back in defense. "Because Justin." I glared at him, "We can't— I can't."

"God Malaysia what is your problem?" He crossed his arms, "You're so goddämn confusing."

My eyes widened, "I'm confusing?" I sucked my teeth, "you're unbelievable."

"What do you want Mal! Honestly what do you want from me! Do you want money? Anything you want I'll give it to you. Just tell me!" He yelled. My eyes started to get watery, "Justin I can't—."

"Malaysia tell me!" He yelled again, cutting me off.

"Justin I'm moving!" I yelled out, tears running down my face, "we can't be together because I'm moving to New York."

"Baby..." He walked closer to me, "people have long distance relationships all the time." I shook my head, wiping my tears away, "no, no not us, I can't, you need to focus on yourself and I need to focus on me."

"So what are you saying?" He asked quietly. I nodded, "I'm saying this is it Justin, this is the last time you'll see me."

He stood there shocked and silent. He than nodded, walking closer to me, slowly wrapping his arms around my body embracing me in a hug.

"Just—"

"Sh sh, don't talk." He cut me off, whispering into my hair. He pulled away, softly kissing my cheek.

"I love you Malaysia." He than walked away, leaving me all alone in his living room. I grabbed my keys and rushed out his front door, slamming it behind me.

*****************************

"Wassup Mal?" Preston opened the front door, I probably looked a mess because the next thing he said was, "wait, what's wrong?" I shook my head, "I need to tell you something."

"Sure, come in." He grabbed my hand, dragging me into his house. I breathed out slowly, "what happened at the party?"

"What do you mean?"

"You texted me saying it was crazy, what, what happen?" I asked again, "did we sleep together?" I mumbled.

He chuckled, "Oh Mal please, I like you but I'm not going to sleep with you when we're both drunk out of our minds."

God, we haven't had the best relationship here lately. But thank you God for coming through, oh Lordy Jesus Christ, thank you. I finally caught my breath, closing my eyes slowly breathing out.

"We did kiss, though."

My head snapped towards him, "we did?" He nodded, "Yup, than you disappeared."

Or I went to have sëx with Justin, but who cares?

"I need to tell you something." I whispered, "what's wrong Mal? You know you can tell me anything.."

"I'm moving." I cut right to the chase, I figured it would just be better that way instead of beating around the bush.

"I know, David and Ava told me, why didn't you?" He asked, curiously. "I just didn't how, I—I didn't know how I felt about you, and I just didn't want to hurt you."

He gave me a strange look, "what are you saying?" I ran both my hands through my hair, confused, "I like you Preston."

His jaw dropped, "me? since when?" I shrugged, "since Justin cheated on me, you were there for me and you didn't have to be." I smiled, shyly, "I'm moving so I figured you deserved the truth."

"Well if we're being honest here, I love you."

My eyes widened, completely shocked, "Preston?! You don't love me. Trust me!" He shook his head, "I do, I really do. I've loved you since I've moved here and when I met you sophomore year. It's just being around you makes me want to be a better person, granted I've made some decisions I'm not proud of. I can't help but love you Malaysia."

And here comes the waterworks again, "Preston I can't— I love Justin." He paused, looking at me in the eyes, "So you're saying you like me but you still love your cheating ex boyfriend?"

I sniffled, wiping away my tears, "it's complicated, and that's why I need to just move away with my mom."

Preston sighed, nodding, "do you truly believe in your heart that this is the best thing to do?" I tucked my hair behind ear, "I honestly do, I need to better myself Pres, I need to not be so worried about boys and focus on me."

He caressed my cheek with his right hand, looking me in the eyes, "than you go, you go to New York and become the amazing woman I know you are. And if in the future we find our way back to eachother I will be forever grateful and even if we don't.. it was still amazing knowing you in the years that I did."

I cried looking down as he than started to hug me tight.

"I love you Malaysia."
