Stupid in Love

Surprise Guests

•Justin's POV•

By this point, my "fight" with Letterman is everywhere on social media. It's only been a couple hours and I'm finally home because I told my driver to drive around for a bit.

I need to clear my head and think about what I need to say to Selena. Plus the fact that I've been crying for two straight hours and I don't want her to see that.

Like I said, I have to be strong for her.

It's kinda fucked up. I'm not one to show emotion but the passed few years of my life I feel like I've cried too much for my own good.

Sorry about that.

I quietly walk into the house and throw my jacket on the floor as I start to unbutton this damn button down.

It was my first interview for a while so I had to dress nice. What a fucking joke.

I stop when I look up and see Selena standing a few feet away from me. She gives me a weak smile and her eyes glance at my bruised knuckles. I slowly drop them and try my best to smile at her. I can tell me eyes are still puffy and red so she probably knows I've been crying.

"Hey." I say and she glances at my eyes again.

"Hey." She says back quietly and walks closer to me. I stare at her as she glances up at me before she brings her shaky hands up and starts continuing to unbutton my shirt.

"You um.." she swallows hard before continuing, "Ignore what he said. He doesn't know us. He doesn't know the struggles we face." She finishes unbuttoning then she looks up at me.

"I appreciate you sticking up for me and our family. And I know you acted on impulse and the emotions you were feeling at that moment, but just know that anybody who insults you or us like that isn't worth it. They're already low enough, we shouldn't give them our time of day."

I stare at her as she grabs my hand and leads me into the bedroom.

Our bedroom.

Which is surprising because we don't even sleep on the same bed anymore. I usually go into a guest bedroom because she says she needs her space.

That basically means we're both too stubborn to cry in front of each other so we do it when one another isn't around.

"I wasn't gonna let him get away with something like that. He had that smug smirk on his face and I-"

I didn't realize my fists were clenched until Selena rests her hands over them.

"It's okay. I know you were angry and I'm not mad at you Justin. I'm the complete opposite. I just.. The world isn't going to understand how hard this is because they aren't personally going through it. We have to understand that."

I nod at her and she tries to give me another small smile before she walks into the bathroom. She comes back seconds later with a first aid kit and I look at her confused but stop when she sits down in front of me and grabs my bruised hand. Her fingertips trail over my knuckles as she stares at them before she clears her throat and looks away. She wipes it off just in case, before she starts wrapping it up. I smile slightly as I watch her focus intently on getting it perfect.

"Thank you."

She glances up at me as she finishes before giving me a small smile.

"I am your girlfriend. The least I could do is take care of you." She says quietly and I can feel for just this moment, things are going back to normal. She stands up and holds her hand out.

"I'll take your shirt."

I pull it off my shoulders since it was already unbuttoned before I hand it to her and she thanks me before walking into the bathroom again. She comes back about two minutes later and I notice her wearing my button down but it's more like a dress on her. She quickly walks to me and I glance up at her as she stands in front of me.

"You're so beautiful."

Her cheeks heat up and she crawls onto my lap; straddling it as her arms come around my neck. I hold her hips and glance her over. This is the closest thing to intimacy we've had in almost a month. Her hands slowly run across my shoulders and I hesitantly run my fingertips over the bare skin of her thighs before I pull her even closer to me.

"I miss you. I miss this." She whispers to me and I swallow hard as I listen to her.

"I don't mean to push you away when I know that you're the only one who can make me feel better. Sometimes the pain of seeing you just.. Is a reminder." She continues and let's out a breath.

"Truth is being closer to you is the only thing keeping me sane right now. I know you're hurting just as much as I am and I'm so sorry." She adds and pulls away just enough so I can look at her eyes.

"Don't apologize. I just.. I miss how we used to be. This ignoring each other thing really fucking sucks Sel."

She nods in agreement before her small hands make their way to my jaw.

"We can work on that." She whispers and my heart beats faster when I notice how close she actually is. My hands wrap around her waist and I can feel our lips brushing together making that familiar butterfly feeling come back to my stomach. I lean in half way, our lips millimeters touching before-

"JUSTIN!"

Selena and I both jump and she squeals in shock and nuzzles her face in my neck after we both have a fucking heart attack. I glance behind her seeing Ryan and Chaz looking like two dead caught in headlights.

"Jesus fucking Christ have you ever heard of knocking?"

"We just flew all the way from Canada to see your sorry ass and you're gonna yell at us for not knocking?"

I hear Selena laugh into me before she quickly climbs off the bed and runs to both of them.

"Ryaaaan! Chaaaaaz!" She says happily and the both pull her into a huge bear hug making her laugh even harder.

"Can't. Breathe." She says breathlessly and I smile as she actually seems genuinely happy. I stand up and walk to both of them and we do our old handshakes that we made up when we were kids.

"I can't believe you idiots are here." I say and they both give me goofy grins.

"When our best friends need us, we come." Ryan says.

"First things first, you have no food. I already raided the kitchen. This is a problem." Chaz says and Selena and I stare at him.

"We should go out to eat then." Selena says and that catches me off guard. She never wants to leave the house.

I glance at her as she looks at me and I notice her eyes brighter than usual as she gives me a small smile with a nod indicating she wants to.

"Hell yeah. Anywhere that has more food than just cans of soup, I'm fine with." Chaz says again and I laugh quietly as Ryan nudges me slightly before mumbling something as Selena Chaz run out of the room to get ready.

"We'll talk later, alright?"

I nod at him and glance at where Selena once was.

"You both need this Justin. That's why we're here. You both need to laugh a little again.."

I glance at him and give him a small smile.

"Thank you. Seriously Ryan you don't understand how much this means to me. To us."

He returns the smile before he puts his fists up and playfully punches my jaw making me roll my eyes and laugh.

"Good job fucking letterman up. Man I wish you would've killed the guy."

"I would've if the security guards weren't three times my damn size. And the fact that I'd rather be with my girlfriend in our own house rather than during visiting hours behind bars."

"You right, you right. Now, you need to spend some one-on-one time with your girl and not in this house. Which is why Chaz and I have something planned if you're down for it."

"Ryan the one thing I really need is some one-on-one time with my girl."

I bite my lip before I nod and talk quieter in case Selena can hear.

"Tell me."

A/N: SO NOT AS SAD, RIGHT????
