Louder Than Words

Chapter 4

Selena's POV:

"Hey Justin.

You were still asleep and I didn't want to wake you.

Just wanted to say thank for letting me stay the night and sorry that you had to sleep on the couch.

Text me later?

C-ya

Selena x"

I dropped the note on the coffee table in the middle of the living room and quietly started to make my way out.

"Leaving without a goodbye kiss huh?" I heard Justin's voice mumble.

I yelped and turned around. Justin was still lying on the couch, his eyes open with a smirk on his lips.

"I left you a note." I replied lamely, feeling my cheeks burn.

He looked at the coffee table and reached out, picking up the note. He chuckled as he read it before looking at me.

"Text me later?" He smirked, "That's all I get?"

"Hey I gave you a kiss thing at the end." I retorted, smiling foolishly.

He laughed and got off of the couch and walked over to me, placing his hands on my waist and looked down at me. Our bodies were unbelievably close to each other.

"Y'know." He smiled, "You look good in my clothes."

I looked at his grey Nike t-shirt and black Nike sweat pants.

"Y'know, I was going to give them back."

"No need." He replied, "They look better on you."

I looked at him and rolled my eyes, "Do these clichè things usually work on girls?"

He grinned, "Yeah, they do. It's only when I come across stubborn girls that I have to add a little more charm to please them."

"Stubborn, huh?" I asked, grinning.

"Yeah." He replied, "But don't worry, the stubborn ones are always the best ones.. I like a girl that can put up a fight."

I laughed and slapped his cheeks lightly, "I better get home before I'm grounded for the next few months."

He laughed, "Oh yeah, I forgot you're only seventeen."

"Yeah." I sighed and shrugged, "Well... I better get going."

He kissed me quickly before giving me a cheeky grin, "I'll text you later."

I opened the door to my house and made my way inside.

"Selena!" My mom's voice instantly filled the quietness in the house.

I rolled my eyes, "Yeah!"

My mom came out from the living room with a cup of coffee in her hand. No doubt that she was angry.

"Where the hell have you been?!" She yelled, "You just ran off for the night!"

I sighed, "I'm fine, I just spend the night at a friend's place."

That's all that me and Justin were. Friends. We weren't dating, hell... I don't even know if you'd call us friends.

"That's still no-" She stopped as she looked me up and down.

Oh shit.

I forgot I was still wearing Justin clothes.

"What on earth are you wearing?" She frowned, with a disgusted look on her face.

"Clothes." I replied.

She glared at me, "I can see that but where did you get them?"

"Like I said, I spent the night at a friend's and she had some spare clothes."

My mom nodded and took a sip from her coffee, "We have to talk about your behavior towards Chase and his parents last night Selena, the way you carried on was totally unacceptable. Not only did you embarrass me and your father but you also offended Chase by storming out of their like that."

I rolled my eyes, "Do you think I care?"

"You should." She growled, "I understand that you'll do everything you can to get out of this which is why me, your father and Chase's parents have decided to-"

"What?" I interrupted.

"We've decided that we're going to move the date of the wedding."

"What?!" I yelled.

"Now now." She sighed, "Instead of waiting 7 months for the wedding, we've moved the date to 5 months instead. It'll be easier."

"But.. I won't even be eighteen! Surely that can't be legal!" I yelled.

She smiled, "We've thought about that Selena but it is legal with parents permission, which of course, we'll give."

I stood there, staring at her in shock, unable to say anything. My mom smiled as she walked into the kitchen, leaving me standing in the hallway.

5 months..

That's all I have.

5 months until I'm getting married.
