Forever

Chapter 9

I stand there, frozen. Who would do this to me. To us, I think. "Come on baby it's nothing" Justin says as he pulls my hands laughing a little. "It's just a stupid prank". I stare at him. Tears start to stream in my eyes. "Justin this is not just ' a stupid prank'" I say, tears now streamed down my face. He walks me over to the couch and sits me down. "Everything's going to be okay" he says trying to keep the fear out of his own voice. "I'm going to call the police" he says.

10 minutes later the police arrive at our door. He looks a little scrawny to be a police but I guess he made it. Justin greets him and shows him around the house so that he can investigate. When he's done he stands in the middle of the living room and looks at me directly. "Well there are no signs of break in so either they got in because one of the windows were left open or they had a key". My eyes widen at the thought of them breaking in so easily. Justin joins me on the couch and wraps his arm around me. "So what should we do?" Justin asks, starting to get angry. "The best thing to do would probably put up a gate around your house or get an alarm system" the officer says sympathetically. They talk about more things but I can't function because I'm so scared. What if we were here and they had a gun I think to myself. "Right now just make sure all your doors and windows are locked" the officer says. "Thank you very much officer" Justin says getting up to shake his hand and locks the door when the officer leaves. All of sudden I start to cry, hard. "oh baby shh don't worry I won't let anything to you or our babies" he says. "I just don't know what to do. Why would anyone want to do this to us?" I ask. "I don't know but what I do know is that it will never happen again" he says. "Come on let's go to bed" he says holding his hand out to me. I wipe my tears away with the back of my hands and take his hand.

My heart is beating really fast and hard. It feels like it's about to rip open my chest. Then I hear a window shatter. I jolt up and realize that I was having a bad dream and that Justin is not in bed with me. It's really dark in the room and I can see a figure standing at the edge of our bed. It must be Justin but why is he wearing a hoodie. "Justin" I shall out to him but he doesn't answer. In an instant the figure darts across the room to where our window is. Not knowing what else to do I scream so loud. Within a matter of seconds Justin is back in the room. He turns on the light. "Selena what's wrong?!" He asks panicked. "THERE WAS SOMEONE AT THE EDGE OF THE BED" I say shaking. Justin rushes to to my side. "We can't stay here" he says. "Pack clothes for tonight. We're going to stay with Harry and Taylor for tonight" he says. I just start throwing things into our suitcase. "Okay come on this should be enough" he says. We run downstairs and he grabs his keys and we immediately get out of the house.

Once we're in the car I feel a little safer. "I was making a stupid fucking sandwich" he says quietly. He runs his hands through his hair in frustration. "It's okay you didn't know" I say. "THIS IS NOT OKAY!!" He screams. "SOMEONE IS TRYING TO HURT YOU AND I DON'T KNOW WHO IT IS". At first I think he's screaming at me but then I realize that he scared for me. "Justin just calm down we're okay now" I say grabbing his hand he's shaking and it pains me to see him this way. "I just don't know what I would do if I lost you." and then he places his hand on my stomach "any of you" He says, now calm although I can still hear the panic in his voice. "You won't" I say as I place my hand on his face and lightly brush it with my thumb.

It's 5 a.m. When we get to Taylor's house and I'm exhausted because I haven't slept much since yesterday. We ring the door bell and almost instantly Taylor is at the door. "Are you okay?!" She asks looking at both of us. "Yeah we'll be okay" Justin says. "I was so worried" she says stepping out of the way to let us in and hugging me and Justin tightly as soon as we're in. She turns on the kitchen light and it illuminates the whole living room. Me and Justin take a seat. Harry comes downstairs shirtless, probably because we woke him from his sleep. "Hey. I'm sorry about what happened to you guys" he says as he takes a seat on the couch in front of us. "Yeah me too" Taylor says once again, looking at me as if I was a wounded animal. "We're safe now. Here" I say trying not to worry them to much. "Feel free to stay as long as you want" Harry says. "Thanks" Justin says.
