My Best Friend's Brother (Jelena)

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Selena's POV

"Did you hear who suddenly decided to join the camping trip this weekend?" Taylor asked me randomly as the credits to the movie we were watching rolled on the TV screen.

"No who?" I asked curiously. Our class was going on a camping trip up an hour away for the weekend and the majority of us were going.

"Sasha and her entire clique." She rolled her eyes and I let out a groan.

Sasha was the typical school slut and her clique were the mindless bimbos who followed her around.

Now I'm not going to lie and say she's fake because honestly she's drop dead gorgeous, it's just her attitude that's nasty.

And there's also the fact that she hates me and Taylor. Why? We have no clue.

Maybe it's because we won't bow at her feet?

She tries to make our lies hell but she fails mainly because we don't really care.

The key to high school is to ignore rumors.

"You sure you still want to go?" Taylor teased me when she saw the scowl on my face.

"Of course I'm still going. Someone needs to get her screaming because she got mud on her Jimmy Choo's."

"Sooooo..." She dragged out.

"Sooooo..." I mocked, gesturing for her to go on.

"Are you spending the night?" She looked everywhere but me and a cheesy grin made it's way to my face.

"Depends. Is someone by the name of Adam expected to visit?"

"Maybe." She mumbled as she blushed, her blonde hair coming down to cover her face.

"Then no. I'm not spending the night." I laughed.

"You could if you want to, I'll just tell him you're here."

"Na, it's cool. You two have fun."

"Well it's getting late so what time are you leaving? I don't want you driving too late." Always the protective best friend.

I glanced at my watch seeing it was quarter to nine. "In about fifteen minutes."

She nodded and was about to say something when the door slammed and Justin's figure was seen running up the stairs.

"I'll be right back. I'm going to see if he's okay."

She came back a few minutes later. "He won't talk to me."

The door bell broke the silence that had ensued us and Taylor sprang up to go get it. I heard murmuring then giggles and then the happy couple appeared at the doorway hand in hand.

"Hey Selena." He raised his hand in a wave.

"Hey Adam. You spending the night?"

"Yup."

I shot him a look and he laughed as Taylor buried her head in his neck, mortified which made me laugh.

"Well I'll leave you two kids to it then." I began walking out. "Oh wait. I'm gonna use the washroom before I leave." I said.

I walked upstairs and knocked on Justin's door.

"I said go away Taylor!"

"Baby? It's me. Open the door please?" I knocked softly.

I heard shuffling and then the door swung open and I was pulled in before it was locked again.

I didn't even have time to see his face before his head was buried in the crook of my neck and his arms were wrapped tightly around my waist.

I wrapped mine around him and used one hand to rub his back while the other played with his hair.

"What's wrong baby?"

He didn't say anything but his grip on me tightened.

"Does Taylor know you're here?" He mumbled.

"She thinks I'm in the bathroom but that's not important. What's bothering you?" I pulled back slightly and saw the troubled expression on his face.

"Can...can I come over to your place? I don't want to be here tonight."

"Of course. I'll go downstairs and you can sneak out okay. Adam is here so I doubt she'll notice you're gone."

He nodded and pulled away, opening the door for me.

I walked out, shouting my goodbyes at the couple that was currently making out on the couch and made my way to the car.

Justin came out around three minutes later and strapped himself into the passenger seat. He leaned his head against the head rest and stared out the window, the same tortured look in his eyes.

I took the hand I wasn't using to drive with my took his hand that was on his lap in mine, giving it a squeeze which he returned.

We pulled up at my house around twelve minutes later and we got out, going straight to my room since my mom would be home shortly.

I flopped down on the bed and he joined me, laying his head on my chest and draping his arm over my stomach.

My hand found it's way to his soft hair and I began playing with it. Again.

"Want to tell me what's wrong?"

He swallowed and squeezed me tighter.

"I saw my dad kissing another woman."

I gasped. "What?"

"And that's not the worst part. Taylor's mom in sleeping with Ryan's dad."

"Please tell me you're joking." I pleaded.

"I wish. I went over to his house this morning and saw them but she doesn't know I know. Then we went to that Italian place and I saw my dad there."

"Does Taylor know?"

"No. At least not that I know of."

"Will you hate me if I say I want to tell her about us?" He spoke again after a few seconds.

"No, of course not. I kinda want to tell her too because if she knows we're keeping all this from her it'll only hurt her more."

"Yeah, that's what I was thinking. When do you want to tell her?"

"I don't know. Whenever you want to I guess."

"Your birthday is next Saturday, how about the day after that?"

"Yeah that makes sense." I agreed.

"Well let's hope that she changes her mind about us. That'll be one less problem to deal with."

"What are you going to do about that?" I asked.

He sighed. "I'm going to have a talk with dad and tell him I saw him with that woman?"

"Are you going to tell him abou Andrea?"

"No. She's not my mom so it's not my place to say. Or should I tell him?" He looked at me for guidance and it was my turn to sigh.

"I have no idea. If it were me I would probably keep it to myself though. But just know that whatever you decide to do, I'm behind you all the way."

"Thanks babygirl. I honestly have no idea what I'd do if I didn't have you in my life."

My heart swelled at the sincerity in his words and I sent out a silent prayer that Taylor would accept our relationship.
