Arrangements Gone(Chapter 2)
Janiece's plane had finally landed in L.A. A place that is far away from her friends and her home town. She picked up her book bag and her laptop bag then went to the bathroom and changed into a new outfit that's much fresher. After that she didn't really know where to go so she had to ask plenty of people which way to the baggage claim. By the time she wanted to give up she found as sign with her name on it as she was walking towards the baggage claim. She didn't recognize the guy but assumed he was one of justin's drivers. She walked up to him.
"Hello..." Janiece greeted consciously. The man looked down at her.
"Hello ma'am can I help you?" she wanted to laugh out loud. 'Wow send someone here who doesn't even know what I look like' she thought to herself.
"Well you're the one with my name on your sign." He looked at his sign and to her as if that's a way to really confirm anything. He looked surprised.
"Sorry but I don't think you're who i'm looking for."
"My name is Janiece Bieber." Janiece pointed to the sign trying to make a point.
"Ms.Mallette stated that she had light brown hair-"
"Ever heard of dye?" The man's mouth was closed and he just stood there.
"Look can we please get my bags and go i'm tired when we get there they can confirm who I am than if i'm a fraud you can take me to jail and lock me up yeah?" she said to him getting annoyed at the fact the man didn't believe her. The man nodded and placed the sign in the garbage and started walking to the baggage claim. "and if I am who I say I am you owe me a edible arrangement fruit basket." The man looked at her like she had four heads. "Dipped as well..In white chocolate" she smiled at the thought. Janiece spotted her two bags and grabbed them and gave one to the man. "Hey, What's your name?"
"Phill.Ma-am"
"Ew don't call me that, Call me Drew." She said from the top of her head as they arrived to the car. She didn't want anyone calling her by her first name so she said her middle name. Only her friends can have the honor of calling her by her real name. She opened the car door and sat in the back of the fancy cab. She almost gagged. She put in her headphone and kept her eyes out the window and listened to her music. She watched the scenery past as the car moved past traffic. This was happening. She is miles , and miles away from where her heart is.
"Ma'a- "
"Wanna make that two baskets?" She glared at Phil.
"Drew...We are at the bus now." Janiece looked out side the other window and sees a gigantic tour bus. She took a deep breath. 'Seven years' she kept repeating in her head. It was time for her life to change drastically.She stepped out of the car and stretched her body.
"Let's do this" She whispered to herself. She helped Phil lug in the suitcases putting one under the bus. She stepped onto the bus and looked around. No one was there. She let out the deep breath she didn't know she was holding. Soon after, Phil shared with her that every one was at a rehearsal for the concert the next day.
"Hey There I'm the driver and you must be Ja-"
"Drew." She cut off not very politely but not to mean either.
"Sorry, How about I give you a quick tour?" He didn't wait for an answer he walked in front of her and pointed out that right now they were standing in the living area and kitchen. It was pretty big considering they were on a bus. There was a tv and an xbox. Janiece soon felt happy because she had sent her video games to the house They would be living in when the tour is over. The driver whose name she has yet to learn, showed her the bathroom that had a small shower. Then she was showed The bunks. " This is where the dancers and Justin's friends sleep and now also you."
"And where does Justin sleep?" She asked cautiously. The bus driver opened a door that revealed a king size bed. 'Oh hell no' she thought to herself. "So he get the comfy bed huh?" she placed her hands on her hip and raised an eyebrow.
"Well,Yeah" Janiece looked around and decided to play a nice card. She would need to deal later. She grabbed her suitcase and placed it in the master room. The bus driver thought nothing of it. After that she went into the main room and went on her laptop just playing around on websites. She looked on Facebook at the likes she got. She sneaked a smile and then continued browsing the web. The bus driver sat back in his seat. Janiece took out her hearing aids and put in her headphones and started listening to a girl sing. She loved listening to the girls channel. The best part is that the girl is hidden and unknown and goes by Nicole. Everytime nicole sings she wears a beanie that hides her hair and she wears shades and red lipstick. Weird and mysterious. Nicole with post videos of her own songs or just covers. She had a decent sized fan base and was an amazing singer. As she was listening she didn't notice people walked in on the bus.
"Uh...kenny I think another fan got onto the bus dude" Justin said not noticing that the "fan" was his sister. She was born with brown golden locks like justin's but after she was abandon she wanted a change and dyed her hair fully brown. Janiece was still not aware she wasn't alone. Kenny stepped on and walked towards her .
"Ma'am, i'm gonna have to ask you to leave, you're not supposed to be here." Kenny said and noticed she did not respond so he grabbed her shoulder. Janiece's eyes widened a bit and looked up at keeny. She took out her headphones.
"Can I help you?"
"You're not supposed to be here ma'am-" Kenny was cut off when Justin stepped forward.
"Janiece?" He asked squinting his eyes and leaning forward to her.
"Actually I go by Drew." Janiece looked at her brother. He looked so much older in person than on all the magazines she seen him in. Much taller as well. She put her laptop on the couch beside her and stood up. Justin stood there in shock.
"Uh...Justin I take it you know her?" Kenny asked.
" S-she's my sister." Kenny and Justin just stared at me. Janiece started feeling very uncomfortable. She waited for them to stop staring.
"Since you have your picture want an autograph too?" Janiece said which made them snap out of it.
"Sorry you just look so different.W-what are you doing here?" Janiece made a face for many reasons. Of course she looks differently after 7 years. But most importantly. 'What does he mean what am I doing here?' She thought. She was about to tell him, he was the one who sent her here when she was interrupted.
"Janiece? JANIECE!" She was soon pulled into a hug. She didn't react, just stood there as the woman who gave birth to her squeezed the air out of her.
"Its Drew now..." Janiece replied with a mono tone . Pattie pulled away confused but was soon sidetracked by the brown that covered her golden locks she was born with.
"Your hair!" Pattie reached out to touch it but she stepped away from her mother. This gave Pattie a chance to see how grown up she looks. "You're so tall..." Janiece was indeed taller than her mother. Janiece stood there not saying anything.
"Whoa, Wait! You have another sister!" Kenny shouted clearly confused with the situation he's standing in. 'another?'
"You have another sister?" Janice asked clearly confused with the situation as well. Pattie and Justin looked at one another and then at Kenny and me. 'Wow' she thought. They couldn't even care for her.
"Well not my kids but your father-" Pattie started before janiece cut her off.
"I don't have a father." She said with the straightest face.
"Jeremy had two more kids and got married with another." This caused her to laugh.
"You guys are in contact with him? Like on good terms? and where was he when I was around?" This left them speechless. It's one thing to not have a dad but for your brother to have a dad that's also supposed to be yours... janiece shook her head. 'Wow' she said to herself again.
"so how exactly is she your sister and your daughter-" Kenny asked still confused.
"Listen I came out of her 15 years ago but I haven't been her daughter or his sister for 7 years and i'm not gonna be now." She laid down the fact. She left into the master bedroom. She refused to unpack so she just lived out of her suitcase.She refused to accept the fact that she is not home. She laid on the bed and put in her headphones. She was listening to her favorite playlist. She was just about to hum quietly along until the music stopped. She sat up seeing Justin with her headphones in one hand and her ipod in her other.
"How old is this thing?" He tosses up the old apple Ipod. She snatches it back
"Not everybody got a million bucks alright? Now if this is going to work you never ,ever snatch my headphones out got it?"She snaps at him. It's common sense. Don't stop the music on a teenager. ESPECIALLY on Janiece. "Now what do you want?" she connects her headphones and ipod black together.
"Well um, you're on my bed...In my room." He said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Now it's my bed... and my room." Janiece said giving her fakest smile that didn't even come close to reaching her eyes. Justin looked at her like she was crazy.
"What are you talking about?- Look your bed is in the hall there a bu-"
"Nah i'm good." Justin looked at her confused with her response."
"Okay listen-"
"NO you listen-" She cut him off before she was cut off by pattie.
"Whats going on here?" She asked walking into the room.
"She's not leaving my room." Justin crossed his arms knowing that patti will make her leave.
"I'm the only girl on this bus am I not?" Janiece said knowing the adults are on the other bus.
"so?"
"I'm not gonna share a small bunk space with boys what happens when I wake up to guys in their boxer or when I get cramps or-"
"The room is yours."Pattie says and Justin's face goes red.
"WHAT?" Justin drops his hands. She walks out.
"See she gets it." Janiece said
"Whoa three 's's is a sentence." Justin said making the joke on how she could barely say it throughout elementary. Janiece just rolled her eyes at him as he walked out and she followed remembering that she left her laptop. She walked into the main room after Justin and saw a couple boys sitting on the couch.
"Whoa Justin we just got here and you already cheating on selena." One of the boys says and it took her a while to get what he was saying. Justin looked confused but then he looked at janiece they both made eye contact and shared the same disgusted look. They jumped farther apart.
"That's my sister." Justin explained.
"Haha nice try Justin but we know jazzy is not that tall, or old and developed...I mean jazzy is cute and all" Alfredo looked at her up and down. "But damn this girl is.." He bit his lip.
"I think you should let me get her number since you're taken Justin." Another winked at Janiece. 'You have to be kidding me? So no one knows me?' Janiece thought as she rolled her eyes.
"Guys! Shut up this is my sister! Full blood sister!" Justin said clearly disturbed but not as much as janiece is.
"Wha- How?" Alfredo asked clearly confused
"Well when two people meet and are attracted to each other they te-" Ryan rambled before he was cut off by a slap on his head. Janiece studied Ryan, he looked very familiar.
"Guys this is my sister from same mom and dad...janie-"
"My name is Drew." She cut him off reminding him of her changed name. Justin and everyone stared at her. Ryan slowly stood up.
"whoa... you grew so much..." Ryan exclaimed clearly remembering her from way before Justin even thought about singing. Janiece only stared at him. Ryan was no better than Justin. She nodded.
"Why is it everyone is saying that? I mean i'm not gonna look the way I did when I was eight." She rolled her eyes.
"So wait.. where have you been this whole time? Why is it we just learned that you exist?" Alfredo said earning a slap on his head this time.
"I wouldn't know..." We all stared at Justin. I turned towards my laptop hearing it ding. She walk over to where I was sitting before Justin came onto the bus and accused me of being some obsessed fan who broke in. she looked at her laptop and saw that Ty was skyping her. She answered the call and his face popped up.
"Hey babe." Ty said in a deep voice either from being tired or crying. Janiece was hoping it was first option. By this time she feels all eyes on her. She looked at ty smiling with her eyes but not letting it play on her lips. As she smiled she opened up her hearing aid case and put each hearing aid in each of her ears.
"Hey baby can I call you back tonight?" Ty looked confused but nodded understanding.
"Okay I love you."
"I love you too" she ended the call and closed her laptop. She looked at Justin and his face was a bit shaded. She was confused but ignored it. Well atleast she tried to.
"You have a boyfriend?" Justin asked surprised.
"Obviously.." Ryan said like it had to be the most obvious thing in the world. This comment resulted in justin glaring at
"What are those things in your ears?" Alfredo asked
"a hearing aid duh."
"those aren't hearing aids-" Justin said as if what ryan stated was a idiot statement. Janiece looked at them.
"Yes they are..." She clarified slowly. She watched as confusion rose onto
"Wha-what?"
"What's going on now?" Pattie walked in.
"Mom did you know that Janice has hearing aids?"
"Wait- what's?" Pattie looked at Janiece, more like her ears to see to believe.
"Ok one it's Drew not Janiece and two, i was diagnosed with hearing loss." she stated glaring at justin. this comment only made them speechless and confused. Jareds mom always took care of janiece. She would take janiece to the doctors and appointments. It all started when it never made sense how she failed all classes. Jared's mom even payed all 6 thousand dollars for a pair of hearing aids.
"I don't understand..." Janiece let out a bitter chuckle as pattie spoke those words.
"That actually explains a lot when you think about it..." Ryan pointed out smartly. "I mean she always talked funny." 'And he lost it.' Janiece thought to herself as alfredo slapped him upside the head yet again. "Ok.DUDE SERIOUSLY! i swear i'm growing like another head in the back of my own!"
"Hopefully THAT one has a brain." He shot back as ryan rubbed the back of his head. Janiece noticed that justin and pattie were still look at her strangely.
"Guys seriously my hearing isn't perfect no biggie." She just wanted them to stop eyeing her like a lab rat.
"How did i not know this?" Pattie sat down next to her and placed a hand over janiece's hand that was placed on her knee. Janiece looked down at their hands and snatched it back quickly and scooted over a bit.
"What happens when you're not around..." She wouldn't even dare look in her mother's eyes as he pattie stared holes in her face. She felt everyone looking at her. It was awkward now and i'm sure everyone felt it in the air. The phone rang and they all looked at justin. Janiece let a breath out of relief as she wasn't the center of attention at the moment.
"Hey." Justin said into his iphone. 'Pft fancy phone he got there' their grandparents got her nothing' she smirked to herself. "Oh yea i forgot. We will check it out now." with that he hung up. She payed attention to the window that let her see the outside world. There were no stars around like how they were at home.
~Flashback~
"Oh my god shut up Hannah seriously it's not even that cold." Jared barked at her. carrying a basket and flashlight.
"Is too! I swear there should be snow falling." She defended while hugging her arms tightly.
"its summer..." Kate pointed out.
"Uhm helloooo have you seen frozen?"
"You mean the cartoon where a girl has powers and turns summer into winter!?"Jared spoke enthusiastically hoping to get his point out in the clear as he is holding the flashlight to his face like he is telling a scary story.
"Hey anything can happen!" Hannah once again tried to defend herself. Failing miserably.
"Wait stop!" I shouted causing everyone to look back at him scared. "There is a...a..." He looked around fearfully before pointing out. "A singing talking snowman!" some of us glared but we soon all started laughing. Hannah pouted.
"Har Har so funny..."
"Shut up guys we are here." Mecha shushed everyone as she was in the front glazing ahead of her. We all soon looked and stared in awe as we were surrounded by stars.
"Beautiful" I spoke looking at the beauty around us. We were on a cliff that was covered in grass. we had to travel a bit to get here but it was worth it.
"Just like you." Kate said nudging me and winking. This comment made Ty gasp.
"I was going to say that!"
"Well I said it first so suck it!" She snapped at him
"She's my girlfriend go flirt with the tree over there." He points referring to the time we tried to teach kate how to flirt pretending the tree was a guy.
"We swore not to speak of that!" she pouted.
"Hey give me that blanket!" Hannah shouted at Nat scratching the blanket.
"Hey no i was using that!" NAt grabbed the blanket as she was about to wrap it around herself.
"You were just holding it!" he proclaimed and argued.
"It was warming my arms!" Jared then jumped in soon later and i just layed down on a blanket matt helped me lay out and looked up at the sky. I admired the beauty of the view and i admired the pain of the sounds from my friends. Cause it assured me that they are there.
~end of Flashback~
"Drew!" Ryan shouted.
"Oh sorry what?"
"See i told you you had to shout cause of her hearing duh!" Ryan stated to alfredo. This caused janiece to roll her eyes.
"Can you chill? I just zoned out nothing more and just cause i can't hear a couple things doesn't mean you have to shout>" she explained, annoyed that she has to go through this information she always have to go through when she meets new people.
"Sorry" Ryan apologized looking a bit down and embarrassed.
"Anyway we wanted to know what kind of pizza you wanted?" justin explained to her. she did not even have to think about it.
"Pineapple and sausage." She let out easily. Pattie nodded.
"Ill order the food while i'm on the other bus. When the food get here we are gonna take off to the next stop for the concert." Janiece almost forgot that her brother is a teenage heart throb that dances and lipsyncs on stage in front of a bunch of screaming crying teenage girls and even older women. She looked over at janice s. "Good night love." Pattie reached for a hug but she backed away.
"Don't call me love it's Drew and just stop touching me alright?" She snapped at her mother unintentionally but no guilt played on her face as a sad one played on patties.She was soon off the bus.
Justin gave his sister a look but didn't say anything to the unrecognizable girl sitting on the couch.He turned on the tv and Ellen was on. Janiece loved this show. She always watched it with kate. There was a knock and ryan got up to get it. Ellen was talking to the audience about her segment. For the first time ever Janiece did not laugh or even smile. She refused to let anyone see the smile everyone grown to love. Ryan came back and we all dragged in.
"Hey bro your on now." Alfredo points to the tv making justin look up from his constant texting on his phone. He put his phone down getting a bit excited.
"Oh yeah turn it up." He repositioned his seating so he is all attention to himself on tv. Janiece looked down to her phone now not paying attention. She scrolled down her facebook newsfeed and likes a picture of hannah and kate doing the splits. she soon got a message.
Matt: The guy from six flags asked Hannah out on a date!
Mecha: Damn it I wanted to tell her you hobknocker!
Matt: Whats a hobknocker?
Mecha:I have no idea...I just heard it on icarly.
Mecha: EWW JARED JUST TOLD ME.

Janiece: Love you
She looked up from her phone when something from the tv caught her ears.
"So how about you tell me about your siblings?" Ellen asked looking up from her blue note cards. Justin's face lit up when the question was asked and he smiled brightly.
"Oh i love them so much especially my baby sister." He ranted causing the audience to "aww
"Not that you have favorites right?" ellen joked patting his knee. The crowd laughed and justin chuckled.
"No not at all haha. shhh." more laughter. "But seriously i miss my little sister so much." Janiece was more interested in the interview and locked her phone and sat up.
"Thats so sweet do you see her often?"
"Well you know i have so many gigs and work and albums... I'm just so busy but i think about her allll the time it's crazy. She lives back in toronto that makes it even harder to see her."
"That makes sense.Now twitter has been having a little back and forth argument about her name.."Ellen looks at her cards again. "about how it's spelled actually haha i thought maybe you can settle this." This caused justin to chuckle again.
"Her name is spelled J-A" Janiece eyes widened looking at the tv not able to believe her ears. "Z-M-Y-N"
"So it's not spelled like princess Jasmine? Haha that settles it. so it's just Jaxon Jazmyn and you?" Ellen asked. Justin nodded
"Were the biebers." He smiles. Janiece got up grabbing her laptop and stuff. She took a box of pizza and went into her room closing the door. She sighed and put down the box on her new bed. She layed in bed and listened to the music she had on her ipod. This was her first night away from where she wanted to be. She took another slice of pizza and bit into it. Layin on her back she stared at the ceiling listening to her favorite song. this has been her favorite song ever since it came out. her phone was vibrating on the night table but she left it along not wanted to socialize at the moment. something caught her eye she sat up and looked next to the nigh table was a edible arrangement fruit basket. She stood up and walked over to the basket and picked it up. there was a note.
"To Drew
From Phil"
