Selena's P.O.V.

I sat back down on the curb. Not only did I hurt Nick. But I hurt my best friend too; Taylor. Justin walked back over to me. He sat down next to me and hugged me. "Selena it isn't your fault, it's mine." Justin said. I knew Justin was trying to comfort me. But him and I both knew that this wasn't his fault.

"Justin this isn't your fault at all." I said while we stopped hugging. "This was all my fault." I said. Tears began rushing down my face. All the worst possibilities of what was going to happen to Nick and Taylor were running through my head. What if they died. I would be a killer. Wait would I be considered a killer? I couldn't stop crying.

I regretted not talking to Taylor, and not accepting her apology. 'She wouldn't even want to be my friend after this.' I thought, 'But why was Taylor with Nick? I didn't even see her in Nick's car when I was at Justin's house.' There were so many questions that I needed to be answered.

I felt Justin's finger on my cheek. His finger wiped the tears off my face. I sniffled and looked at him. I moved my hair out of my face. "Justin the text may have been from you, but it's my fault." I said. I took Justin's hand off my face. I felt more tears coming down my face; I wiped them off. "I'm not letting you take the blame." he said.

"But I'm not going to let you." I said. "Selena, please." Justin begged. "Justin the last thing you need right now is an accident on your driver's record." I said. I knew Justin's parents didn't like the way he was driving lately. I didn't want him to get in trouble.

Justin's P.O.V.

Selena was right. Right now I couldn't have an accident on my driving record. My parents would ground me from driving forever. But I didn't want Selena take to the blame. This had to be Nick's fault. Somehow. But how could it be? Selena was the one who went into the road when it was a red light.

"Do you know why Taylor was in the car?" Selena asked. I was wondering the same thing. I shook my head. I tried to figure why Taylor was in the car. Every reason I was coming up with made no sense at all. An officer began walking towards us.

Selena looked nervous. "Don't worry." I whispered. "No guarantee." she whispered back. Selena and I stood up. Selena bit her lip. I thought it was so cute how she always bit her lip when she was nervous. The officer walked up to us. Then I noticed that this was the officer who had pulled me over 2 weeks ago for my driving.

"You again?" the officer asked. Selena looked over at me while I looked down. Really out of all all the cops in the city it had to be this one. "C'mon I know you caused this. Let's go." the officer said while pulling his handcuffs out. I loved how he assumed that it was my fault.

I turned around and let the officer put the handcuffs on me. I couldn't let Selena take the blame for this. 'Could I go to jail for this?' I thought, 'For lying to the cops?' I knew I was going to be grounded forever.

"I thought you would learn by now." The officer said. Another cop came over. "We found out the names of the victims in the car." she said. "What are they?" the officer asked. The female cop looked down at her notepad then said, "Nick Jonas and Taylor Swift."

"Did you find the owner of the car that was in the middle of the intersection?" the female cop asked. "Maybe." the male officer said. The male officer tightened the handcuffs on me.

"Can you make them looser?" I asked. "Well if you would quit getting in trouble with the law then-" he got cut off. I felt a soft hand grab mine. I grabbed the hand the best I could. I looked over my shoulder and saw Selena.

"Officer. This wasn't Justin's fault. It was mine." Selena said.

Selena's P.O.V.

I knew if I let Justin take the blame he would never like me. I had to tell the cops the truth, and that's what I did. "Look, girl. You don't need to protect this delinquent." the cop said. Justin was no delinquent. He was sweet, and the officer would know that if he saw that Justin was lying to protect me.

"I'm not lying." I said. "Yeah, sure. I know who this kid is." the cop said. 'If you you really knew him you would know how sweet he is.' I thought. "Seriously, I'm not lying. You see that car over there?" I asked while pointing to the middle of the intersection. "That's not your car." the cop argued. "Oh really?" I asked. I walked over to my car.

I hated how the cop assumed it Justin. I opened the car door. I looked around the driver's seat to see if there was anything I could use the prove this was my car. Then I saw my phone on the floor. I picked it up and walked back over to the cops and Justin.

Justin was still handcuffed. The officer turned around and asked, "Well?" I showed him my phone. "This is my phone, and it was in my car." I said. "Prove it. Unlock it." The cop said. I took my phone and unlocked it, then showed the officer the screen. "Now unhandcuff him." I demanded.

"Did you really think unlocking a phone would prove to me this is your car?" the cop asked. 'Not really.' I thought. "Just unhandcuff him, this was my fault." I admitted. The officer unhandcuffed Justin. 'Finally.' I thought. "I'm not handcuffing him because you told me to. I'm not handcuffing him because we had no proof of who did this." the cop said.

"Uhm....hello? Did you not hear me confess to doing it?" I asked. The cop unhandcuffed Justin. Justin ran over to me and put his left hand over my mouth.

Justin's P.O.V.

The cop looked over at Selena. "What did you say?" the cop asked. "She said: Did you dress it?" I lied. I was such a terrible liar. "Dress what?" the cop asked. I felt Selena's mouth moving. I went behind Selena and put my right hand over my left hand. I moved my head to the left to see the cop.

I shrugged. The officer looked at us suspiciously. An ambulance came rushing in, and another behind it. The officer turned around and rushed over to where the ambulances parked. I felt Selena's tongue run up my hand. I took my hands off her mouth.

"You're hand tastes weird." Selena laughed. I shook my hand then wiped them on my jeans. "Justin, what am I going to do?" Selena asked while turning around to face me. "We could leave." I said with a smile.

"I can't do that. My best friend is sitting in that car over there." Selena said. I looked over at the car. It was demolished. 'How fast was Nick going anyways?' I thought. I looked over at Selena. She bit her lip and looked at Nick's car.

"Sel. Stop worrying." I said. "Justin how can I? I'm going to jail forever." she cried. I went behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist. She turned around. My arms were still wrapped around her waist. Selena put her forehead on mine. She put her arms around me. I looked into her eyes. Her eyes were looking down and tears were falling down from her face.

"You won't go to jail." I said. Selena didn't look up. "I am." she cried. I took my hand and put it under her chin and gently moved my hand up. Her head moved up and her eyes looked into mine.

"Sel, stop crying. Nothing bad is going to happen." I said. Selena closed her eyes, she then leaned in towards me. I leaned in to kiss her. "Excuse me." the cops said. We were so close. Selena pulled away from me. I let go of her waist.

We always got interrupted when we were about to kiss. First it was my mom and now this cop. Selena wiped the tears from her face. She should've let me take the blame for this.

Selena's P.O.V.

We were that close to our first kiss. But no, we were always interrupted. The cop explained to us that he would have to question us separately. The cop pulled Justin to the side and questioned him first. I looked over at Nick's car. The people in the ambulances came out of the ambulances and went over to Nick's car.

They took Nick and Taylor out of the car and put them on gurneys. When I saw Taylor on the gurney, I felt like the worst best friend in the world. What if Taylor died when we were in the middle of the fight? She would die thinking I hated her. I began to crying more.

I ran over to Nick's car. I went under the caution tape. "Hey! Get back here!" the cop yelled. I kept running towards Taylor. Then I bumped into a cop. He was blocking my path. "Where do you think you are going?" he asked. I didn't answer. I noticed his legs were shoulder width apart.

I had to talk to Taylor. So I went down on my knees and crawled in between the cop's legs. I know I could've gone around, but I didn't want to take a chance of him blocking me. I got up and ran faster to Taylor.
