Selena's POV:

"Selena, would you like to explain what the fuck happened that night?!" Priscilla says through the phone.

"Okay look, me and Justin have been dating for a few weeks now and he took me out to dinner." She sighs.

"When were you planning on telling us this?" She sounds disappointed. I hate my family seeing us together through the media and not through me.

I guess it's only me to blame since I did kiss him in front of the paps. "We're were gonna tell y'all soon, Ashley kinda already knows." She scoffs.

"Really Selena? Friends before family?" It's not that Priscilla doesn't like Ashley l, it's that I've grown up with Priscilla my whole life, so I get why she feels hurt.

"Ashley only found out because she kinda caught me and Ju-"

"I don't even want to know." She says in a straight tone. "Not like that, he came over and I didn't know Ashley was gonna come home early and she saw him. So I kinda had to explain." The line goes silent for a while.

"Well I'm just mad that you didn't tell me before all the pictures came out. Justin's a great guy, definitely has matured." I'm surprised Priscilla isn't playing mom right now.

"Thanks Priscilla, I appreciate it, and so does Justin." I say looking over to Justin in bed next to me asleep.

"Well I have to go and feed Aidan, good luck convincing everyone else." She says laughing.

"Oh I don't even want to think about it. Alright I'll talk to you later, bye." I say before hanging up.

I look over to Justin sound quite like a baby. His lips always look plump and pink in the morning.

His phone buzzes. It's very tempting to not see who it is. Fuck it.

Jayde: hey, when are we gonna meet again?

Who's Jayde? And why is she texting Justin? I knew how he was with girls, but why now?

No matter how wrong and how hurt I will be after I look at this messages, I have to know.

I scroll through his messages with her and all they text about is where to meet at. Damn this hurts.

I go back to see his other messages and find other girls he's texted. They're random girls I've never heard of. All they want is him.

Does he really love me?

"Selena?" He says with a raspy voice. I put his phone down and he knows what I did.

I stare at him and shed a tear. "Justin, are you texting other girls?" He reaches over to me and I jerk away.

"Don't touch me, answer my question." He sighs.

"What did you see?" He says like nothing is completely wrong.

"Enough to convince me you don't love me." I say getting up from the bed and rushing to the restroom.

The one time I thought it could last, it breaks in a heart beat.

"Selena, it's not what it looks like." I sit in the bathroom floor as goes after me.

"Really Justin? It doesn't? So some girl named Jayde didn't just text you asking if y'all can meet somewhere?" He sighs and sits next on the edge of the bathtub I was sitting next to.

"Selena, did you see the last time I texted her? Three months ago. I would never ever, sleep with a girl that I had no connection with."

Unbelievable. If he never had a "connection" with anyone why would he sleep with them?
