Selenas POV:
“Are you sure you want me to come with babe, I-I understand if you just want some time ya know to be away from me. I’ll stay right here and get all the stuff we bought the other night here and decorate the apartment?” I ask for the thousandth time, it was already almost 1230 and we were just about to head out the door.
“Selena, stop. It happened so long ago, I’m alright. We’re alright, I want you to come so let’s go.” He said pulling me into the elevator.
It was hard for me to look him in the eyes, I remember how I felt after we stayed together when I caught him cheating. But he was playing it off like he was perfectly fine, he was doing a good job at it too but I know he’s not. There’s no way he’s perfectly fine now… After he said I was still he put my engagement ring back on my finger we cried on our futon for a little bit but then we decided to get ready and fix ourselves up.
“Hey guys” Kenny said to us in the car, he clearly has no idea what happened. No one does, and I hope no one will… but everyone knew what Justin did to me. So I find it only fair to accept it if he tells everyone.
On the way to the interview I lean my head against the window and Justin rubs circles on the back of my hand. Kenny tried to make small talk with us but neither of us were really up for talking so he just turned up the radio. I stared out the window just losing myself I don’t know how long I was spacing out but Justin singing in my ear snapped me back to reality.
So give me a chance, cause you’re all I need girl. Spend a week with your boy I’ll be calling you my girlfriend.
It was my favorite lyric of the song Boyfriend from his album Believe. I turned to him and smiled, he kept serenading me to his song ended and then he places his lips softly against mine… maybe we would be okay. Maybe by some crazy way he really was okay with everything.

We get to the studio where Justin’s going to do the interview, he’s rushed away and I stand with Kenny while we wait for him to get interviewed. I feel Kenny’s fingers on my ring, I give him a big cheesy smile.
“Damnnnn he said he got a rock, but that’s beautiful. Congrats Sel.” She said bringing me into a hug trying to not cause too much of a commotion about it since he must know we just became engaged.
Justins POV:
It was hard hiding my emotions from Selena, but was I going to do. Yell at her, tell her I hated her for what she did? No. That’s not me, I could never intentionally hurt her like that. So I just tell her I’m over it, and it’s no big deal. But really it’s eating me alive. But I know I don’t have any other choice but to move on with our lives. Hearing Boyfriend on the way to my interview was hard too. So I did the only thing I could think of to calm my nerves. I mean, I did write the song for her, it is about her, she seemed to enjoy it. And I think I was really starting to fool her. She knew at the apartment how I really felt, but I’ll never tell her. Anyways we have too many things to be happy about, were engaged , we have our own place, her album comes out soon. Everything’s perfect… I just need to forget about this whole ordeal.
Before I know it I’m in the middle of the interview. Same questions as usual, about my movie, how I enjoyed filming it, what I think of all the hate, how excited I am to be turning 21 soon. Then someone brings a card over to him and I glance over at Selena confused.
“So I see you brought your beautiful girlfriend with you today.” He says gesturing over to Selena.
“Yeah we’re enjoying New York City together this weekend.” I say with a smile, ever since me and Selena started dating she’s been brought up in pretty much every single interview I’ve done, besides when we broke up. But even then, some would ask how I was doing.
“That’s good, this is a beautiful city, Selena want to come sit down with us for a bit?” He asks turning directly towards her. I see her look around confused but she accepts his offer.
“So how are you guys now?” He asks with a big smile.
“We’re great.” I answer for the both of us.
“Yeah everything’ been going really great.” Selena echoes me. I laugh to myself knowing she must be nervous.
“So can I ask about that amazing ring on your finger?” He says pointing to her engagement ring, and I know the cameras zoomed right in on it. Mine and Selena’s acting mode turns on and we hide the shocked expression on our faces but I know she’s just as shocked as I am. Suddenly it’s like were 18 again, avoiding questions about each other.
“Uhm, well. I wear lots of rings.” Selena finally breaks the silence, I can picture what she’s thinking. Stupid stupid Selena that was so stupid. Again I laugh to myself and realize we can’t avoid this.
“We’re engaged.” I say without hesitation, now Selena gives up the act and I see her mouth drop a little bit and just stare at me.
“My goodness. Congratulations!” He says clapping his hands as does everyone else.
For the rest of the interview Selena sits right next to me. When we leave and get back into the car it’s silent.
“Are they allowed to do that?” Selena ask.
“Allowed to do what? You could’ve said no to sitting with me babe.” I said putting my arm around her.
“Yeah… you’re right. I’m sorry, I should’ve said no. It was your interview anyways.” She says and I can hear she really thinks she’s messed up.
“Stop it babe, it’s alright. Haha, the interview doesn’t air till tonight at 9. Good thing we took that picture? Ready to post it to Twitter?” I ask, knowing she wishes we didn’t have to do it so soon. We haven’t even told our parents.
“I guess, I’ll text my mom and let her know why we announced it on Twitter first. But she’ll understand.” She says smiling at me.
I pull out my phone, edit the picture a bit, then post it to instagram and twitter.
“Till death do us part, I promise. Forever Isn’t Long Enough baby @Selenagomez I love you”
I put my phone down and look at her and both of us smile at each other. I feel a lot better, I’m not mad at her anymore. Maybe I wont have to fake acting like everything’s okay and maybe everything actual is.
Then there’s a loud crashing noise, I hear glass shattering everywhere and Kenny and Selena scream.
