Why Love When Its Hopeless?

Chapter 2.

~Shelby's POV~

After watching The Ellen Show, it was about 4 o'clock. So I decided to go out to eat. I grabbed my purse with my wallet, my keys and my phone and headed out the door. I got in my car and drove off. I pulled up to Mc Donalds and got me a Big Mac, fries and a chocolate shake. I know its a lot but I am stressed. I let the thoughts of my insecurities go to the back of mind, although I know they won't stay away for much longer.

Once I get back home I eat and throw the trash away and decide to just watch T.V till I fall asleep. I go upstairs and change into sweats and a T-Shirt. I put my hair in a messy bun, and went into the bathroom to brush my teeth and hair. I turned off the bathroom light and turn on my T.V as I climbed in my bed. I snuggled into my fluffy sheets, sighing happily at the warmth of my bed.

I flipped to MTV to see what they were saying about Justin. They were talking about how he pissed in a bucket, again. They are so fucking stupid. They have nothing better to do but criticize someone who has saved so many peoples lives. Including me. It's just stupid. I sighed and turned off the T.V and turned over to my side and feel asleep, hopping my mom would make it tomorrow for my birthday. I drifted off into a deep sleep.

~~Morning~~

I was woken by, hearing "Boyfriend" go off. I got up and rubbed my eyes and looked around my room. My phone was going off. I got out of bed and grabbed my phone, mom was calling. I sighed and answered.
"Hey mom." I said into the phone. I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes.

"Hey sweetie! Happy Birthday!" My moms loud voice made my ears sting. I quickly pulled the phone away. Jeez, ma.

"You coming home today?" Was I said as I put the phone back to my ear.

"I'm so sorry honey. They are having me work all day . I'm so sorry. Don't worry though I'll make it up to you baby girl." I could hear the sorrow in her voice. My heart sank and my eyes became heavy.

"Honestly, don't worry about it mom. I gotta go." I said, trying my best not to sound upset.

"Oh alright, sweetheart. You have a good day, okay? I love you!"

"K, love you too. Bye." I spoke, in a monotone voice.

Once I hung up the phone I fell to the floor and put my head in my hands, and burst into tears. I can't believe she isn't going to be here for my birthday. She promised. But that promise was broken, I should have seen it coming.

....

After about 10 minutes of crying, my Skype alert was going off. I stood up and climbed on my bed and grabbed my laptop. I quickly wiped the tears off my cheeks and hopefully the redness went away. I answered the call.

"Hey! Happy Birthday sista!!!!" Kierstin said once it loaded. I smiled small and looked at her.

"Haha thanks." I said, my smile fading. She looked at me with concerned eyes.

"What's wrong?" She asked her smile fading as well.

"Nothing" I said hoping to forget it.

"Don't you dare tell me its nothing, it's obviously something." She said more sternly. I sighed a long sigh. I swallowed a lump that was forming in my throat. I looked at her through the camera.

"Mom called. She....*sniffle* She isn't coming. S-She isn't coming for my birthday." I stuttered and felt a couple tears slip and run down my cheek. Kierstin looked at me with a frown.

"I'm sorry. Don't worry your birthday will get better, trust me." She said with a smile forming. I lightly smiled.

"Ok, I'll try to make this lonely birthday good." I said with a sigh.

"Hehe. I have to go. Have a fun birthday. Love ya sis." she said waving.

I smiled, "Ok, I'll try, bye, love ya too." I told her before ending the call. I took a deep breathe and wiped away the tears. I looked over at the clock and it read, 12:00 pm. I sighed and walked into the bathroom and hopped in the shower after getting undressed.

I let the water run over me, letting the sadness wash away. After washing my body and washing, conditioning my hair I turned off the water, and stepped out while wrapping a towel around my body. I dried off and walking into my room and grabbed a pair of underwear and a bra. I put them on and walked in my closet. I got out a cute casual dress. I put it on and walked into the bathroom and brushed my teeth and my hair. I decided to curl it a little at the ends.

After I finished I put on a little makeup. I went downstairs and decided to just eat some grapes. After I ate I checked twitter and Instagram and Justin tweeted.

"Gonna be a great day."

I smiled, at least he is going to have fun on my birthday. I tweeted,

"Today's my birthday! I have nothing to do..."

I took at picture on Instagram and said the same and posted. I then heard the door bell ring. Who the hell could that be?
