She didn't even bother asking if Michael was even at his dorm because even if he wasn't, she would have sat outside his dorm waiting for him to get there. She just couldn't keep bottling everything up inside and she needed her best friend to vent to for a little while. Once she got to his dorm after stopping and getting them both hot chocolate from the student lounge she knocked on his dorm. "Michael Julian Russel, you better be dressed because i'm coming in whether you are or not." She said before putting her hand on the door knob and turning it before coming in.

She sat the two hot chocolates down on his dresser in his room before collapsing on his bed face first. "I hate my life." She groaned before lifting her head to look at him. "I have so much to tell you. And I really need my nonjudgmental best friend who loves his little Justine very much."She said looking him in the eyes making hers all big and puppy dog like. "Declan and I broke up last week, and he was cheating on me..." She said feeling her eyes get water again. "I brought hot chocolate," she added in hope that would help make him talk to her. She hadn't been out of her dorm much since the break up happened except to see Max who was on the verge on committing suicide and to stay at Thalia's. So she really needed a friend to talk to at this point.

Michael had actually been in his bathroom doing some, err, man grooming, when he heard Justine come in, in which he immediately shut off his electronic razor and set it back on his bathroom counter and lifted his boxers and shorts back up, reaching for his shirt and placing it up, over his head, and onto his body, as quickly as he could before Justine could see what he had been doing, or well, did (the bathroom door had been wide open, considering he didn't feel the need to close it, not expecting anyone over).

Grinning when he saw the hot chocolate, he picked a cup up and took a sip, but frowned slightly when he saw how upset Justine was, "Want me to hit him?" he tried, setting the cup back down and laying down on the bed next to her, then tried offering her a smile, brushing some of the hair out of her face, then scrunching his eyebrows when she told him what had happened, "Who would cheat on a girl like you? That's what I don't get about the guys here, they cheat and they cheat, and unless they're going to do it with somebody better than the person they're with, why do it?"

Michael shook his head, "You're like the most amazing girl I know, why would he do that?"

Justine nodded, "hard. Right in his penis." She got the chills from his touch and looked up at him leaning up on her elbows. She listened to what he was saying and as he said she was the most amazing girl he knew she felt her cheeks get red. "Thank you," she leaned over and hugged him before sitting Indian style on his bed facing him. She ran her hands over her hair to get it out of her face before looking at him once more. "It wasn't just that he cheated on me, Michael. He was fucking a guy. He's completely gay, and I let him take my virginity." She said looking down at her hands.

"Not to mention Isabel is making people hate me. She's telling everyone i'm a lying sack of shit who's just jealous Declan never loved me. She was calling me a whole bunch of names and then Declan's twin Dylan joined in and he was making me feel like shit too. I'm just so sick of people at this school." She looked down at Michael, "Am I really that bad of a person that they feel the need to hate me?"She couldn't help but blink a couple times to keep her eyes from watering because she felt it coming.
She went to go lay back down on the bed but her phone beeped. She had it set that everytime the burn blog posted she could read it. Pulling out her phone she slid the screen and began reading the recent burn blog post. When she finished reading it she flipped her from around and set it in front of Michael so he could take a look at it.

"But look, you shouldn't believe me. I might try to have sex with you and accuse you of rape apparently." She said as a couple tears came from her eyes. "What do I do?"

"Don't listen to those people, okay?" Michael shook his head, scrunching his eyebrows. He hated how everybody here spread such bullshit lies about each other. The things he heard about his brother, his sister in law, his friends... it pissed him off, but he never said anything about it just because he didn't want to stoop to their level and become victimized himself.

He reached an arm over around Justine after she showed him the post on the burn blog, biting his lip in anxiousness, "None of that is true and nobody deserves to say things like that about you," he flipped her phone over so the screen wasn't visible for her to see the vicious words again. Michael looked Justine in the eye and tried to smile, "I'm here for you. The only thing you need to do is keep your head held high," he shrugged, "keep being you, don't let them get you down because that is exactly what they're trying to do," he poked her nose, then wiped away a few of her tears with his thumb, "you're a wonderful person, J. Don't let them make you think otherwise."

When Michael wrapped her arm around her she leaned into him gently sighing. "Thank you." She smiled up at her best friend and couldn't help but giggle when he poked her nose. That was one thing she loved about Michael. She could be at her saddest point and he always knew how to make her feel so much better about everything. "Thank you for being here for me Michael. I love you." She tackled him in a hug wrapping her arms around his neck making them both fall backward on his bed, herself practically on top of him in the process. She laughed and rested her head on his chest just laying there for a little bit before rolling over beside him.

She rested her hand in her hand as she laid there facing him. "So, Michael Russell. Tell me, what's going on between you and Sonnie?" She raised an eye brow at him looking him in eyes. "Are you two still talking? Being safe?" She asked him before laughing and moving herself up to the top of his bed resting her back against the wall looking to this middle of the bed where he still was. "Do you liiiiiiike her?" She teased with a smile. She knew a month or two ago they went on that date to her place where you jump on the walls and floors and stuff, but her and Michael never really talked anymore about him and Sonnie.
