Chapter 23-   What? I'm Not Going To Dye My Hair

ONE WEEK LATER

Justin POV

It's been a week since I am staying at Stephanie's house.

Stephanie always had her phone with her, she wouldn't go anywhere with it and Brandon been coming to check up on me. Anne reported I been missing last week and Brandon said she looked terrible.

Who can blame her? her husband just disappears without a trace.

"Justin time to get up, we're leaving", Stephanie says.

I groan and roll off the bed, I been staying in the guest room while she fu**s in her bedroom with random guys.

"Where are we going?" I ask as I open the door.

"To get a makeover, starting with your hair, we got an appointment", she says.

She is wearing a jeans pants and a revealing top, her boobs screaming to be let out.

"What? I am not going to dye my hair", I say.

"Well then it's the hard way it is, then", she says and someone knocks me out.

*****

"Omg he looks so handsome blonde suites him so well", a voice says.

"Yeah thanks, Nikki, I owe you one", Stephanie says.

"No it's all on me", the girl replies.

I open my eyes and see two ladies talking and laughing. 

The hairdresser looks familiar.

"He's finally awake", Stephanie says and I rub the back of my head where I got hit.

"Check your hair you", Nikki says turning me around to face the mirror.

"What did you do to my hair?!" I shout.

"Don't get your pants in a twist, it can wash out", Nikki scoffs.

"Stephanie I'll kill you", I growl, touching my blonde hair.

"Blonde is so not my style, I rather black or even chestnut", I complain.

"I told you we should of go with black", a lady says behind a magazine.

"Shut up Jackie", Stephanie growls, "besides no one would recognize him now", she adds.

"Why do I need a makeover anyway?" I ask.

"When we move to Brooklyn in a few days, no one would know you", she replies.

Move? Brooklyn? In a few days? that's all I heard.

"Hold up woman, there's no way I am going all the way across the country", I say.

"Oh really? Have you forgotten my pictures, I can send it in one go", she threatens.

"Wouldn't I need a job?" I ask.

"Yes I got you an interview on Friday for an office job", she answers.

The office isn't my thing, cars are.

"I work with cars only, I'm an engineer", I say.

"Wait, I thought you would take over your father's business", she inquires.

"My son Jake would he's interested in business", I say.

"The owner is a woman and she designs vehicles, maybe you can get a job in that department", she says.

"Yime to open the salon, you guys can pass through the back", Nikki says, watching the time.

"I'll see you guys soon", Stephanie says, I got up.

I have to get that phone, but how?

Brandon POV

"I'm missing Justin", Anne says as we sit by the pool talking.

"Yeah, he been gone a week now and still haven't contact you", I say leaning into my chair.

"What if something terrible happens to him?" She asks and begins to cry.

"We would of known and I know my half brother, he wouldn't leave if it wasn't urgent", I say calmly.

She sniffs, "maybe you're right, I know Justin he can't just leave just so if it wasn't important", she says, I am finally getting to her.

The kids are all by their grandparents, so it's just Anne, Freddie and I here at the mansion.

Anne looks so sad and lost, it's been almost fifteen years since I saw her like this. I should know because I who made her felt so.

"Hey, wanna go to the cemetery and talk to your mom?" I suggest.

She wipes her nose, "yea, but I want you to drive", she says getting up.

I take her hand in my and I feel a familiar shock, she maybe feels it too cause she blushes and looks away.

We drive in silence, no music and no loud traffic, just quietness.

Anne sighs and I see a tear rolls out her right eye.

I want to stop the car and comfort her, but I got to give her some space.

We arrive at the cemetery and Anne leads the way with her flowers.

Then she stops in front of a gravestone.

Gloria Montez

It is her mother's own.

"Hi mom", she says nervously, squirting by the grave," been a while, huh? I just want to say I miss you a lot, you thought me to be strong and confident, and guess what I did turn out a successful businesswoman. I got 5 kids, yep you heard right, three girls two boys, I know you would of love them if you didn't have to die or go to jail, but things happen for a reason, right? I just wanted you to know I brought flowers and that Justin, well...... he...... um....... he's missing and I hope where your spirit is, please guide him back to me, please", her voice cracks and she starts to sob, dropping on her knees.

I embrace her and she cries in my arms.

While I drive us back, Anne drops asleep in the passenger's seat. She looks so beautiful and innocent like she did when she was 18.

I carry her to her room and take off her shoes, then cover her up.

"I promise Justin would return", I mumble and kiss her forehead.

I only said that cause I still loved her a little and can't stand to see her heartbroken again.

***

I leave the house and went home, my sister is in college right now.

"Hi Brandon", a familiar voice says as I got out my car.

I turn around and see the bitch who made me lost my first girlfriend. I clutch my fist, she got some nerves coming here.

"What do you want Nikki?I growl.

"That isn't how you greet an old friend", she snaps.

"Old friend? You were just a slut that slept with me and made me lose the girl I loved", I snap.

"It wouldn't have last anyway, but the good thing is now you can get laid whenever you want", she says coming next to me.

"I know you didn't for a long time" she whispers and rubs my arm.

I curse under breath.

"I know you want to do it", she teases.

I open the front door and she follows behind me, then I close it and slam her to the wall and kiss her.

"Well damn, when I was about to eat", Blake says.

How the hell did he get in here?

"What you're doing here?" I growl, still have Nikki against the wall.

"Just came to check up on my friend, since you're gonna be busy, I'll leave", he says and squeezes pass us, then open the door and shut it behind him.

"Now, where were we?'" I ask and continue to kiss Nikki.
