Wait I have a sister?! (Selena Gomez story)

Sleepless nights.

I sat on the hospital bed and Simon sat beside me, holding my hand. I could see he was still sweating and he was shaking even more than me.

"I'm okay you know.." He turned to look at me.

"I am." I smiled.

"You didn't see how you looked, you looked...I thought you.." I tightened my grip on his hand.

"Simon, it's okay. I'm okay now and.." Before I could finish the doctor came in.

"Hello you two, Nina, your nose is absolutely fine, very close to being broken actually, you were lucky. Your ribs were the same, very close to being cracked. The fall you had, must of not wanted you to break anything." He laughed to himself as if he knew we were lying about all these injuries coming from a fall.

"Well you know skateboarding, it can be dangerous." Simon added in.

"Yeah, well my daughter used to skate, then actually broke a rib, put her off. So, I hope it doesn't put you off!" He laughed again and I tried to laugh also. I laughed at the thought that I had never skated in my life because I was too scared I was going to fall and break something. Would of rather fallen off a skateboard than getting my ass kicked.

"Well, you'll just have a few bruises. Your black eye will go down in a couple of days, the bruises on around your body may take longer as they are quite severe. You won't be able to skate, so just stay away from the board okay?" I nodded slowly. In my mind, it was like he was saying stay away from Nicole and I intended too. 

The thing is, I didn't want Selena finding out. Yes because Nicole would come for me but also, Selena likes Nicole. It seems like they have a good friendship from hanging around with them. Selena has so many friends, but not like Nicole. Nicole barely even knew who Selena was. Just because she's crazy towards me, I don't think she is crazy. I think maybe something happened in her past, that has made her jealously set off like fire.

"Well, you can now go home, rest up." I smiled and I jumped off the bed, still in pain. He had said the pain would subside by tomorrow. Simon helped me outside and we got in his car. He began the journey back home. 

"So remember, just explain to your Mum and Selena, that you were at my house, we were sliding down the stairs on mattresses but you slipped off and flew into the bookcase at the bottom of my stairs. I took you straight to the hospital and the Doctor said you were fine okay?" I nodded.

"I wish you could tell them."

"I know, but I can't, but I can tell you which makes everything so much better. You are my Prince Charming." He laughed.

"I think I'm more of, a superman or Iron Man or something, maybe Spiderman. Yeah, let's stick with Spiderman." I rolled my eyes and laughed. We arrived back at my house and he kissed me. I pulled back and looked at him for a minute. His brown eyes glowing.

"Thank you Simon." He smiled.

"No, thank you." His lips fell onto mine. We laughed and I jumped out of the car. I waved. Luckily, it was only 5 o clock. I hadn't been long at the hospital so it wasn't that bad. I went inside and I could hear voices, it was just the tv. I didn't know where everyone was.

"I'm home, if anyone..is here." Selena ran out looking at her phone, not paying attention.

"God, I thought you were never coming home, you always take so long when you're at Simon's, I mean what possibly could of held you up for th..." She looked up while talking and stared at my face. Her face changed. Her rosy cheeks turned to ghostly white.

"Nina, what happened?!?"

"Don't worry, it's a funny story actually."

"How is ....this funny?!?" She pointed at my face and threw her hands up in the air. I explained the fake story to her about the mattresses, the stairs, the bookcase. She believed it all. In a way, I had hoped she hadn't believed and she had turned around telling me that I had just lied to her, but I guess she didn't know me that well yet. That's when a sudden sadness fell over me. I had just lied to my sister about getting beaten up by her friend. It wasn't even just getting beaten up, it was nearly having bones broken. I felt broken.

"Well, least the doctor said the bruising would go down." I didn't show her the bruises all over my ribs, that couldn't be explained by the story. It just wouldn't add up. 

"Come on, Mum's got the dinner on." She slapped my back, exactly where Nicole had kicked me. Selena went into the kitchen and I quickly bent down because the pain was incredibly bad. I began to get dizzy. I couldn't pass out. I couldn't. I stood there for 5 minutes and started to breathe slower as I had noticed my breathing was very fast paced. I slowly walked into the kitchen while Selena was explaining to our Mum what had happened.

"Gosh, you two really need to be careful."

"Yeah, I know, we were, just not paying attention I guess." Selena and my Mum were making jokes, but all I could think of was Nicole. Beating me. The visions of her fists flying towards my face and forceful kicks into my ribs made me have a horrible taste in my mouth.

"Uh, can I be excused?" I tried to cough it away.

"Nina, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm just going to be..." I ran forward to the sink and was sick. I felt the sweat dripping down my forehead from trying to hold it back.

Selena ran over and rubbed my back and tried to comfort me.

"It must be from falling down the stairs, come on, let's get you to bed." That's where I wanted to be. I wasn't even hungry, which wasn't like me at all. Selena carried me up to bed and slowly placed me onto my bed and tucked me in.

"You're going to be okay. Just a silly fall." She kissed my forehead and left the room.

But it wasn't just a silly fall. It was a horrendous, horrific fall that nearly killed me, that included being beaten on the way down. But she didn't know that, and I couldn't tell her. I just couldn't. 

I ended up falling asleep, but then woke up in a puddle of sweat. I had had a nightmare of the beating again, except it was worse. It was ongoing and she didn't stop. Finally I had managed to wake up. My hair was stuck to my face. I quickly sat up and got out of my bed and went downstairs. I turned the kitchen light on and got a drink.

"What are you doing?" I jumped and spilled my water, I spun around to see Selena.

"Just, getting...water."

"Why are you so wet? Ew, sweat?"

"I had, had a nightmare. It's fine."

"About what?" She came closer.

"It doesn't matter, I don't really wanna talk about it, but can I uh..." I scratched my head. I didn't even have to say the rest.

"Of course, you don't even need to ask." She came over and hugged me. I went upstairs and followed her into her room. I fell onto her bed and she got in the other side. It made me feel better, safer. 

I lay there while Selena had already fallen asleep. I think it's going to be a sleepless night.
