Hidden Secrets (Jelena)

Chapter 22

SELENA'S POV

I waited in Rebecca's room with Ryan. Anticipating Rebecca's arrival.

"Thanks a lot for letting Rebecca go to Justin. It really means a lot to me," I smiled at him.

"Don't worry about it. I just hope she deleted the pictures off their phones," he replied.

I nodded my head in agreement.

My anticipation continued to grow until the door finally opened and Rebecca rushed inside. A huge smile plastered on her face.

"Okay, all done" Rebecca chirped, happily.

"Really?" I shot up.

"Yeah, he made it so much easier for me," She laughed.

I pulled her in for a bone-crushing hug.

"Thank you so much!" I said to her.

"Don't worry about it. I just hope they don't have the pictures anywhere else other than their phones"

"Me too" I answered as I frowned at the possibility.

"What did you tell them to get their phone?" Ryan asked, wrapping his arm around her waist.

"I just said that I wanted their phone numbers."

"Thanks a lot again," I smiled.

"No problem, now go and rub it in his face," She laughed.

"Yeah, I can't wait!" I smiled, "Alright, see you guys later. Take care" I walked out of their room.

I walked straight into Justin's room, feeling confident.

"Selena?" Justin said, shocked to see me.

"So how are my pictures doing?" I asked, walking closer towards him.

"And why do you care all of a sudden?" He asked, putting a smirk across his face.

"Because you can't threaten me anymore," I chuckled.

"What's that supposed to mean?" He asked.

I laughed again, "Think twice before you hand your phone over to a random girl, even if she says she just wants your phone number."

As the words escaped my lips, Justin was quick to get off his bed. He grabbed my arm, pushing me to the wall behind me. He pressed his chest onto mine, now holding both my hands still above my head.

He held my arms back with one hand and with his other hand he pulled out his phone, scrolling through his photos.

"She fucking deleted them!" He snapped.

"Look, Justin, none of this would have happened if you just stayed out of my business," I said to him, "You both disrespected me and you let Luke hurt me!"

"You're going to regret this," He gritted, breathing heavily on my neck.

"I think we should end this. I won't tell anyone about Becky okay. But just stop forcing her please," I told him.

Rebecca told me that she will talk to our dad about hiring her. I don't like her, but I am done being a part of this problem. I want this to be over with.

"Fine. Look, I'm sorry," He said, surprisingly letting go of my hands, allowing me free of his escape.

"Don't expect me to forgive you," I said, clearing my throat.

"I know. I just got so pissed over the fact you didn't like me," He replied.

"I would have considered it if you hadn't done all this. It's too late to put this behind me. I really can't trust you," I said as my eyes teared up.

He chuckled "This might sound weird but I'm going to try to make it up to you"

"And how are you planning on doing that?" I asked.

"Just give me a chance. No games okay?" He smiled, letting his perfectly straight teeth show.

Should I give him a chance? My mom always said everyone deserves a second chance.

But no, not him. He's only being nice now because I took the source away from him that allowed him control over me.

"Uhmm, I don't know Justin," I said.

"I get it. Just take some time and think about it okay?" He asked.

I nodded.

"Thanks, I guess," He bit his lip and then backed away from me, giving me space.

"I'll see you tomorrow in class then," I said, trying to find an excuse to leave already.

"Wait," he called out to me.

"What?" I asked.

"Before you leave, I want to tell you something," He said, walking to his closet and pulling out a USB.

"Your pictures are in this too," He started.

"Justin, don't-" I started to panic.

"Look, I want you to give me a chance, so I'm going to give this to you," he said, handing it over to me.

"Thanks, a lot," I said, meeting his gaze.

"I want to prove to you that I'm not all bad."
