Why Fall For Him

Chapter 11

*Selena's pov*

-

I woke up to the smell of bacon. Before I crawled out of bed, I checked mg phone. I was hoping Justin had called or texted me during the night, but he didn't. Every morning, for the past two months, the first thing I do is check my phone. I knew it was basically worthless. I had questioned myself as to why it was so much easier to let go of him two months ago, because now I can't stand a moment without him. Every night before I settle down in bed with George, I question myself, was it really with worth letting him go? I ask myself every night and I can't seem to find an answer.

I crawled out of bed and made my way into the kitchen. George was cooking eggs. As I took a step closer towards him, I noticed the bottom of the pan began to burn. Within a few seconds smoke began to rise from the pan. I shoved George out of way as I moved the pan to a different burner. I turned around, George's cheeks were a pinkish-red color.

A smile crossed his face as he said,

"Good morning beautiful."

I felt my cheeks burn as he spoiled me with kisses on my cheek. Butterflies fluttered my stomach. As hard as I was trying not to develop feelings for him, I couldn't help but develop feelings for George. Each day my feelings grow stronger and stronger, against my will.

I felt his arms wrap around my waist. I rested my head on his chest. I heard his heart beating through his shirt. My heart raced as he looked into my eyes. When I looked in his eyes, I didn't see pain, hatred or fear in his eyes like I did once I looked into Justin's eyes. However when I looked into George's eyes, I saw love.

"I promise I'll treat you better than he ever did." He whispered into my eyes. He pulled away as there was a faint knock on the door. The faint knock at the door became louder with each second. Neither George or I answered the door. I pulled him closer to me each time he took a step away, to answer the door.

"Selena!" I heard someone call. I stood in silence waiting for the next call.

"Just hear me out." I stood in silence as I realized who it was ; Justin. "George." I faintly whispered. Chills ran down my spine. I ran to the door but I questioned myself if I should open the door or not. Suddenly, everything that I had felt earlier, wanting to see him, wanting to hold him in my arms and wanting to make contact with him, suddenly vanished. Something inside me froze and told me to ignore every emotion I was feelings.

George looked straight into my eyes. He gently pushed me out of his way and opened the door.

I heard Justin sigh in relief, as George opened the door.

"What do you want?" George said with complete disgust in his voice.

"Why does it matter?" Justin said, fiercely.

I froze up against the wall. I didn't want to see Justin, but I knew as always, he would end up getting his way.

George stood still, without saying a word. I imagined Justin shooting George a straight face with anger and hate. I imagined George starring at Justin, waiting for his next move. Neither one of them said a word but I could feel the tension rising between all of us.

"We need to talk.." Justin paused. He lowered his voice but somehow his voice sounded so fierce and controlling. Without question, George stepped outside. They were now together, face to face and now my biggest nightmare is becoming reality.

*Justin's pov*

George blankly starred at me. Neither one of us said anything. I have a lot to say but I won't say it all.

"Why do you care so much?" I asked. I starred at the ground, avoiding eye contact. George's arms were crossed and his expression was blank. He stood in silence for a few seconds.

"I'm just trying to give her something she's never experienced before." he said. I looked up, with tears in my eyes. I felt a knock grow in the back of my throat.

I felt like someone had shot an arrow right through my heart. I knew what he meant, and that what hurt the most.

"And you?" He asked nearly whispering.

I sighed. "Um," I paused.

"She's everything I live for. When she walked away I felt like there was a part of me missing. Like, she was the other half of me." I paused for a minute. "Maybe it's because she is. Maybe she is the other half of me." I paused as I looked at George.

"She broke my heart-" I barely whispered. "It's the worst feeling."

All of the anger that had boiled up inside of me, all of the hatred I kept inside toward George vanished. I no longer had hatred towards him.

Neither one of us said anything for a few minutes.

"Meet me at the train station tomorrow night." I broke the silence.

Before he could say anything, I walked away.
