Fame Or What?

Part 37

Throwback to the last part: Justin met Selena to discuss some things for the Ellen Show. Paparazzi took photos of them as Selena almost kissed Justin. You got home and a had a weird conversation with your mom.

*Your pov.*
»Wow, you're already here«
»Of course, boo. I'm always on point«, Y/FN mentions and winks at me.
I roll my eyes playfully and laugh. She enters my room and lays on the bed. Shortly after I take out my make up from one of the drawers in my desk. I walk up to my mirror and fix my look. Can't believe Justin saw me like this and didn't run away, I think to myself jokingly.
»I'm waiting, Y/N«, my best friend says.
»For what?«
»You have to tell me all about yesterday«, she replies excited.
Instantly all the memories of the day at the festival pop up in my head. I already forgot about it. At least I tried to. I explain Y/FN everything that happened now: from the kiss with Luke till the moment I fainted. When I stop talking she needs some time to process all the information. Her eyes widen and I notice the shock on her face. I'd probably react the same way. The whole day was a disaster but luckily I got Justin by my side.
»You were in  hospital?! Are you kidding me?«, Y/FN wonders dismayed.
»No, it's not a joke«, I respond and chuckle amused,»I was drunk and suddenly it was all too much.«
She stares at me still not believing what I told her. I look at my best friend for a second before continuing my make up routine. As I want to put some of the powder on my neck to hide the red spot Y/FN gasps audibly. Quickly I turn around to make sure everything's okay.
»Is that a hickey?«, she asks me with a smirk on her lips.
I catch sight of myself in the mirror again and blush. Every time I examine the almost purple discolored place on my skin I think about Justin and the way he kissed me that night. It makes my cheeks go all red.
»Yes«
»Oh my god, you tunred in a real bad girl. So did you had-«
»Why is everyone asking me this today?«, I wonder chuckling lightly,»No, we didn't. A hickey doesn't necessarily has to mean someone had sex, right?«
Silence surrounds us for a moment. My eyes are on Y/FN after I put away all my beauty products and sit myself on a chair in front of her.
»That's true but I like to see the great progress you make«, she replies laughing.
»Shut up«, I say joining her laughter,»How was your date with Fredo though?«
All of a sudden she stops smiling. Instead she bites her lower lip and looks at the bedsheets dreamy.
»We were at a swimming pool. It was very nice. We had a lot of fun«, Y/FN tells me.
»Do you get followed by paparazzi sometimes?«, I want to know.
She nods but it doesn't seem to bother her.
»There are some but it's not too much. How is it with you?«
»Sounds good«, I respond,»Justin is always being stalked. It's crazy but I think with the time I'll get used to it.«
Y/FN looks at me understanding but with a bit of sympathy in her eyes. I know exactly what she's thinking. She doesn't want me to get hurt or loose myself in the crowd that is slowly surrounding me. She cares about me just like I care about her.
»So Fredo asked me this morning about those free words you didn't say back«, Y/FN changes the subject.
»What do you mean? Why would Alfredo a-«
»He talked with Justin«, she replies causing me to frown,»He said that Justin thinks he did a mistake by telling you that he loves you since you didn't seem ready for it.«
Totally surprised I stare at my best friend. In an instant the quilt builds in my body. I hate this feeling.
»I know I did a mistake, Y/FN because I do love him. But in that moment it all kind of overwhelmed me. I want to make it up to him but how can I do that?«
»Ask him out on a date«, she tells me.
A frown forms on my forehead. Then I grab my phone and unlock it. I go on Justin's chat and send him a text. Only a minute later he responds.
»What did he say?«
»He'll pick me up at 7 pm«, I tell her and smile bright.
Quickly I stand up and walk to my closet. I look through it and sigh. Why do I never have anything to wear?, I ask myself.
»Wanna go shopping?«, Y/FN wonders and I nod happily.
I'm glad to have her as my friend. If she wouldn't be here I'd probably die of boredom and wrong decisions. I tell my mom that we'll go out now and just a moment later we make our way to the city. The whole day we spend by shopping, eating and having lots of fun together. At some point I notice paparazzi following us and some people on the street recognizing me. Nevertheless I come back home successfully. I bought myself a black long evening dress which exposes my legs a bit and some matching high heels *pic of the dress above*. Sitting in my room I wait for Justin. I already straightened my hair and took on my clothing. Bored I grab my phone and check my Instagram feed. I notice that I got 50 thousand more followers and smile wide. Then suddenly I see a picture of Justin and Selena. It's a recent photo on which they are together in Starbucks...kissing. Without really noticing it tears roll down my cheek. I want to send Justin a message and cancel the date but it's already too late.
