Eyes On Me

Chapter 18

Selena Pov

It has been only three days since my fight with Justin but I missed him so much, today even more because it was finally my eighteenth birthday 

I spent the first day crying and looking out my window to watch what he was doing but I stopped once I saw Hailey entering his house. He didn't even care how I was feeling, he played with my innocent and naive mind and I'm glad I didn't gave him everything of me, he didn't deserve the most precious part of me 

Deep down my heart was still craving his kisses, his touch and was waiting for a sign that he cared, a text, a call, anything. That's why I was disappointed at every text I received today wishing me happy birthday, no matter how much sweet those texts were, they just weren't his

I imagined this day with him, he would've probably let me watch The notebook for the hundredth time. He talked a lot about my birthday saying how he couldn't wait till i was eighteen, sometimes I felt like he was more excited than I was for this day 

Mom wanted to throw me a birthday party but I insisted I just wanted to be at home with her and Dad—who was coming home just for a few days and I wanted to spend all the time I had with him. Who knows when I'll see him again 

Besides I don't have many friends so it wouldn't be a real party and after what happened with Mark at Kade Johnson's party I feel awkward around him, he said he doesn't remember a lot of that night but I feel like he's lying, he's just trying to avoid the situation hoping I will forget everything and our friendship will still be the same— that is only making things worse for me 

I was getting ready for my dinner with my mom and dad at home and even if it was just us I wanted to look cute so I straightened my hair and I put on a bright pink fit-n-flare dress with white heels,I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled 

"Sweetie! Come downstairs" My mom yelled 

"I'm coming" I yelled back while I rushed down excited to finally see my dad after a long time "Dad!" I screamed once I saw him and ran towards him to give him a hug 

"My little girl" He picked me up and twirled me around making me laugh 

"I'm not little" I protested when he set me down and kissed me on the cheek "I'm so happy you're here" Despite feeling like shit because I missed Justin I was feeling much better now that I had my Dad with me 

"And I got you something" He pulled a wrapped little box out of a bag and gave it to me "Its from mom too"

I smiled at both of them ripping the wrapping paper off, my smile faded once I saw what was inside "A miniature car?" I asked confused "uhm..Thanks?" 

They laughed at my reaction and while I was still confused— What kind of gift is that? 

"Sorry baby your gift is too big to come inside but It's waiting for you, why don't you go look at it?" 

Are they making fun of me or are they serious? I ran outside not wasting another minute and I couldn't believe it. There it was, a beautiful silver car in front of our door with a big red ribbon on it  

"Oh my god! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I said jumping up and down and hugging them both "You're the best parents ever!" 

"So you like it, huh?" My dad asked playfully 

"Yes, I love it! I finally have my own car" 

That means I didn't have to take the bus anymore, that Mark didn't have any excuses to text me and that I definitely didn't need Justin anymore. I traced my fingers over the car thinking that Liz will go nuts, she always teased me that I didn't have one and I couldn't wait to see her face when I tell her what my parents bought me
