Buried Emotions

*Bethany's POV*

I arrived off of the plane, this was the very first time I had been on a plane by myself, it was really cool, being so much higher in the sky, feeling a sense of power.

"Are you Bethany Grayson?" A guy in a smart outfit, and hat asked me,
"Um, yeah" he opened the limo door for me, I gasped so loud earning glares from people, "thanks"

After ten minutes of driving the chauffeur pulled up to a huge mansion.

"Oh my God" I gasped, as my mom came out with a tray of cookies,
"Baby" she yelled opening the door with her free hand,
"Mom" I stepped out,
"Hun, you've grown up so beautifully" she hugged me with one hand, offering me a cookie,

"Thank you" I looked over by the door, a girl long brown hair, matching brown eyes, sorta tall, was staring at me, I assumed that was Selena,

"Sweetheart, let's go inside, I need to show you, your new room, oh and that's Selena" she pointed at the girl "she's your age, so you should get along" I just nodded,
_________
I got settled in, my room was huge, it had regal curtains, a queen size bed, two wardrobes, and a en suite,
I placed the picture of me and Justin on the nightstand, and trailed my finger along the frame,

Knock knock.

"Come in" I said while un-packing the rest of my clothes,
"Hey, you must be Bethany" my moms husband came up to me,
"Hello, yes I'm Bethany, and you must be Dylan?" I sat on my bed,

"Yep, I hope you like your new bedroom" he walked to the nightstand and picked up the picture of me and Justin,
"This your boyfriend?" He asked putting it back down,

"Yeah" I said sadly,
"You miss him?" He came back over to the bed,
"Yep, I do but I can't do anything about it" I shrugged,
"You can always go back to visit" he said kindly,
"Thanks" I walked down the spiral stairs,

"Are you ready for dinner Hun?" She asked me, why was she suddenly acting so nice, she used to neglect me, and abuse my trust,

"I don't know" I sat around the dinner table,
"I want pizza" Selena jumped in,
"I think Bethany should choose Sel" Dylan spoke, turning to me,
"Maybe pizza" I looked at Selena,
"Ok pizza it is then" I tapped my fingers on the table, muttering the song Justin sang when we were in the woods,

We sat around the table as a broken down family to say grace,
I don't usually say grace, and neither did my mom but I guess she was trying something different.

Somehow Justin was on my mind,
I couldn't help but think about him getting another girlfriend, and me getting another boyfriend (never gonna happen by the way.)
It made me feel sadness churn in my stomach.

"It's good to have you back Bethany, so how's everything?" Mom asked,
"Everything's..ok" I said bluntly,
"She has a boyfriend" Dylan blurted out,

"What! Seriously, that's not like you Beth" mom said as I picked at the one slice of pizza on my plate,
"Yeah, I do have a boyfriend his names Justin, but um.. right now we're seeing other people" I confessed,

"Sounds like you broke up to me" Selena scoffed,
"No one fucking asked you" I muttered, throwing my pizza in the trash after asking to be excused from the dinner table.

"Knock knock" I heard moms voice outside the bedroom door,
"What" I said with slight attitude,
"What's your problem? Is it hormones and all that shit?" Mom sat next to me, she wasn't good with these talks since she missed out on most of my life,

"No, I'm just tired" I lied, faking a pretty convincing yawn,
"I know you're not tired, if you really miss Justin why don't you text him, remember you can do that" she placed her hand on my lap,
"Okay" I looked away,
"Well if you're actually tired, I suggest you get some sleep since I have to show you the rest of Beverly Hills, "goodnight hun" she kissed my forehead before leaving,
