Why Love When Its Hopeless?

Chapter 27

~Justin's POV~

"Selena?" I asked, standing up once she closed the door behind her and her HUGE suitcase. She turned her head, her hair swinging around to her back. Once her eyes landed on me, she smiled.

"Hey Justy!" She excitedly yelled, dropping her suitcase, running over to me. She flung her arms around my neck hugging me. I sat my hands on her waist.

"Shh, Shelly's asleep." I whispered, knowing Shelly is some-what of a light sleeper. Selena froze against my body. She released her grip on me, still a smile on her face. But something was off.

"You mean, Shelby? Why is she asleep? It's like 12 in the afternoon!" She shouted, as if she was at a party, wanting to have fun.

"Shh. She has been stressed and the whole point of her coming is for her to not be stressed, and worried. She has been through a lot." I whispered but had a yelling tone.

"Yeah, Shelly seems like to much of an awesome girl to have been through everything she has." Fredo pitched in. He didn't know the whole ex boyfriend-suicide- thing, but he knew about her family and her cutting, along with the crew since they saw the Ellen show.

"How come I keep hearing about how brave and how such an amazing girl this "Shelly" is and I haven't even seen her or heard what happened?" She asked, crossing her arms, like she was pissed. I really didn't want to have to deal with this. Selena gets WAY too jealous and honestly? I'm glad she is only staying for 2 weeks instead of the 2 months left of the tour.

"Well, maybe if you would give her some time, and become a friend that she can trust then she could probably tell you. It just takes time Selena." I said sighing looking down at her with pleading eyes.

"Why does it have to take time?" She asked impatiently, lightly stomping her foot.

"I've told you Selena, she has trust issues!" I raised my voice a little, getting slightly frustrated at the fact that Selena is purposely not understanding this. I took a breath, trying to ease my anger. Selena was about to say something when we heard a door open and close down the hall way.

~Shelby's POV~

I woke up to someone yelling in the other room. I groaned, and turned over so I was laying on my stomach. I kept groaning into the pillow, but stopped when I heard nothing else, meaning I could go back to sleep. I sighed, and focused on going back to bed, when someone yelled again. My head shot up when I heard the words,

"I've told you Selena, she has trust issues!"

I could tell it was Justin's voice, but what shocked me was hearing Selena's name. I thought she was coming in a week? I grunted a very unattractive grunt when I sat up. I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes, took a deep breath causing me to yawn. I took out my hair tie and grabbed my brush and brushed through my tangled hair before getting up. I straightened my clothes, and opened the door. I closed the door behind me, and walked down the hallway to see Ryan and Fredo sitting at the table in the booth watching me.

"Hey guys." I told them tiredly. They smiled awkwardly at me then moved their eyes to the right. I looked over to the right to see Selena with a hand on her hip looking at me with a smile. Next to her was Justin with an awkward look on his face. I walked completely in, Justin stepped out in front of Selena to face me.

"Hey, Shelly, you feelin' better?" He whispered to me once he got in front of me. He looked down at me with a concerned face. I smiled up at him.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Guess it was just a short sickness thing." I said nodding my head, looking down at my feet. Justin chuckled at my shyness. I looked up at him smiling, hearing him laugh and seeing that he is happy makes me feel good inside. Justin put his hand on my back, and stood beside me.
