By the time it had reached 12:20am, I had decided that I should head home. Darren had decided to stay and party with Taylor, Shane, and the other celebrities that we had been hanging with which was along the lines of Lea Michele, Selena Gomez (which was slightly awkward for Justin) and a few others.
I was just going to call a taxi to take me home but Justin had decided he was going to leave as well, so he offered me a lift home. Of course, once we reached his car I groaned and rolled my eyes at him.

Justin hadn't really thought it all through once again as he drove us around in his leopard print Audi. The paparazzi had already crowded around us twice and by the time we reached his house, him insisting I stay the night as it wasn't safe to keep driving, many photos of us had been taken but he knew I was pretty shaken up by the insults they had yelled at me, which had led to Justin lashing out at them again. They had yelled some pretty offensive stuff at me that I do not care to repeat.

We sat at his pool, our legs dangling into the water. Justin had let me borrow some clothes that were too small for him and fit me almost perfectly. I had rolled up the bottom of the jeans to reach my knees, the top simply being a basketball jersey and of course I had my converse still on. I knew we had been out here for at least twenty minutes now. The moon was in the air but there was the small solar garden lights that Justin had scattered around the garden providing light.

I had my head buried into his chest as I cried, Justin just rubbed soothing circles on my back and hushed into my ear, he understood how hurt I was by the paparazzi. Alfredo Flores had been here about ten minutes ago, and I faintly had heard him taking a photo of me and Justin by the moonlight and the pool before he left. This made me smile, even though it was a semi-bad memory there was the picture of Justin comforting me like he always did and Fredo was always taking pictures anyway, it was his thing.

I looked up at Justin and he smiled reassuringly at me. He started to him lightly and I felt myself laugh softly. He started to sing for me and I let more tears fall as the emotion overwhelmed me. He was such a good friend, even better than Naya and Taylor. Maybe even better than Shane.

"I know it's hard babe to sleep at night, don't you worry because everything's gonna be alright." I smiled at him and he pulled me in for a hug.

He stood up and helped me up from the edge of the pool and we walked into his house, the lights automatically turning on. We sat on his couch, my knees brought up to my chin as he scrolled through his phone. He let out a sound of achievement and pressed the screen.

A tune started playing and I laughed, it was U Smile. We screamed along and danced around, he had a studio version from a few months ago and they had done a rock version. We laughed and just in general had a really great time. We calmed down afterwards but we both agreed that we could not possibly sleep after that rush so we settled on trying to find a movie on the TV.

Justin had managed to make some popcorn but only due to the fact it was microwaveable. He had also poured both of us a cola, before promptly returning with our cinema combination. As we flicked through the channels, we passed an entertainment news channel and unsurprisingly, a video of Justin and I from tonight was being played. It showed the paps yelling the insults at me, and then Justin turning on them before I pulled him lightly away.

"BIEBER ATTACKS AGAIN."

The headline made both of us roll out eyes and Justin finally found the movie channel. We ended up watching some movie that had dolphins singing about fish and leaving Earth, which I later found out was called The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy when Justin had to check the time.

By the time the movie had ended, I insisted that I should go home even though I said to Justin I would stay. I mentioned how Naya would be worried about me after that whole paparazzi thing and he nodded, letting me borrow one of his old car's that he had never actually used. It had been left by a bodyguard but then they quit and had never came back for it.

I hugged him goodnight and left his house, glad to see there was only three or four paparazzi outside. I wasn't going to stop but they looked pretty content with me leaving so I pulled up beside them to hear what rubbish they would be posting.

I rolled down the window and they all filmed me as I spoke to them. "So, what's the main headline?" I asked sarcastically and one man grinned like a weird looking rat. I blinked the thought away and focused on his words.

"Helson plays Criss's own cheating game." The said man spoke and I rolled my eyes.

"For the record, I love Darren very much thank you. I love Justin too but as a friend, just the same way that I love Taylor and Naya and Shane and everyone else I love and hang around with. Don't you dare claim I don't. Have a nice night." I spoke slowly and sweetly, before rolling my window back up and driving away into the night.

I was along the highway when I felt my phone buzz and I looked down to see a tweet from Darren. I smiled and I quickly pulled out my phone and took my eyes of the road for a second while I typed out my response.

"@ItsCiaraHelson: @darrencriss love you too baby, i'll be home in a few minutes"

I slipped my phone back into my pocket and looked back up and into the road. It was dark apart from the streetlights that illuminated it for the safety of everyone.

I turned on the radio and tapped along to the familiar tune of Justin's song As Long As You Love Me. As I saw my turn to leave the highway which was only five minutes away from my home, I turned the steering wheel and started to pull in to the side road.

White lights shined from my left and I looked over to see car headlights.
