Upgrade You

Justin's P.O.V.

I panicked okay?

It was all starting to get a little too heavy for me. I knew what was gonna come next, I just knew it. She was opening up to me, we were all close and everything was all sweet and smooth and then BAM I was gonna kiss her.

Or drool all over her because I've never kissed anyone in my seventeen years of life.

I just couldn't do that y'know? I couldn't kiss her. Plus, Jake could've walked in and caught us and he would've killed me. Then that would ruin Selena and I's friendship. I just got so damn nervous... and nauseous.

I was currently sitting in my bedroom, with a concentrated stare to the bags of new clothes on my floor that still haven't touched. I'd have to put them up before my mom said something about them.

Damn, I should've kissed her.

I pulled my phone from my pocket and looked at the four texts messages that all came from Selena.

From: Selena

What the fuck just happened? Are you okay?

From: Selena

Did I make you late for something?

From: Selena

I'm sorry I made you feel uncomfortable again. I was being weird.

From: Selena

Why are you ignoring me? Are you okay? Like I said before, I'm sorry...

See? I didn't even kiss her and I'd already fucked up our friendship. She was finally opening up to me and I ran out like a little bitch. I was about to text her back but I decided to just call her instead. Maybe, she'd hate me a little less if she heard my voice? If... that made sense.

It rang once, twice, three times, four times, five...

And it went to her Voicemail. "Hey, as you all know this is Selena. And if you don't know then their is no reason why you're calling at all because you clearly don't know I'm Selena and we clearly don't know each other. But, if you do know me then you know I'm doing something really important and I can't get to the phone right now... like really important because I have my phone with me like at all hours of the day. If this is Trent, go die. BEEP!" Only Selena would have her voicemail greeting twenty minutes long.

"Hey, um, Selena, It's me J-Jieber--Bieber--Justin! It's me Justin and, um, I just w-wanted to apologize for practically sprinting out of your room tonight... it's just that..." I really wanted to kiss you and I was about to but I froze and started over thinking things and got really nervous. "I forgot I had something in the oven at home. I uh, didn't want to get in trouble for that y'know?

B-But you definitely didn't make me uncomfortable. I was actually really comfortable. I just..." wanted to kiss you. "didn't want to burn my house down.

I'll-I'll uh, um, s-see you at school tomorrow, yeah? And-And maybe we can hang afterwards? If you don't have cheerleading practice after school. I could watch you practice? No, that's creepy. I'll j--"

"Voicemail capacity reached. If you'd like to replay your message, press one. If you'd like to--" I hung up after that.

Way to keep my ranting to a minimum...
