You Can't Fly Unless You Let Yourself Fall (Jelena Love Story)

A Conclusion of Some Sort

Hello again in 2016! As some of you may know, I am still not continuing this story. I feel it's such a shame though that I didn't exactly give y'all an outcome when you deserved at least that much...so, I've decided to look back through my notes and unpublished parts of this story and include them here. They may not be in order, but at least it will help you guys see what I had planned in my mind for Justin and Selena before life got too busy for me to continue! Also, if you get a chance, check out my new story, One Last Spark. It's different from anything I've ever written before but I am so excited for it! Also, you might notice I changed my username but I just feel this one suits me more as a person. Okay, that's all, I love y'all, thanks for everything, and enjoy! ~ Yazmin

I had this intended for chapter 28:
Selena's POV

The healing process hasn't been great. Walking around on crutches with a cast on my foot for the past six weeks hasn't been great. As I sit in the doctor's office with my mom waiting on the doctor to appear so I can get my cast removed, I find myself feeling utterly impatient. I just want to get this thing off and go home. After a few more minutes of waiting, they finally call my name.

The process doesn't take long, but I'm really not looking forward to the car ride home with my mom. Justin didn't want to tell me what she said, but I got it out of him. The fact that she had the audacity to tell him to break up with me makes me so mad. Why can't anything work out just once?

So after the accident, I had intentions of bring in Nick, Selena's ex. The way this played out in my head was that Selena's mom would invite him over to dinner and try to push them back together she would leave Justin. Throughout this dinner, Mrs. Gomez is badmouthing Justin and Selena sits and listens while everyone around her, except her father, laugh about the comments being made. Selena, obviously not okay with that, lashes out at her mom and decides to move out. The following scene was written when I first got the idea:

"Stay away from him! He's no good for you, Selena!" My mom screams.

I look at her with shock running through my body. "How the hell do you know what's good for me? You and dad have never been there for me! I can't wait till I'm 18 so I can leave this damn house and never come back!" I scream back.

I run up the stairs and into my bedroom slamming the door as loudly as possible. I glare at the white door for a while and hold back the tears. How dare she? How dare she tell me that Justin's no good for me? I think back to last thing I said. Why wait till 18? Waiting would only be torture. I'm getting the hell out of here.

I grab a suitcase out of my closet and fill it up with clothes and everything else. I shove my phone, laptop, and other school stuff into my purse along with their chargers. I got my keys off my vanity and grab my suitcase in my other hand. I made my way downstairs calmly to wear my mother's pacing anxiously. She looks at my suitcase and her mouth drops open.

"Selena, where do you think you're going?" she asks.

"I'm going to the one person who I know loves me. Don't count on ever seeing me again." I say as I leave what I had once called home.

The follow-up to this takes place once she gets to Justin's house:

I ring the doorbell with shaking hands and wait for someone to get the door. I hear the click of the lock and look up to see Justin looking at me confused.

"Selena? Babe, what's wrong?" he says, concern dripping into every word.

I take a deep breath. "My mom and I had a huge fight and... I was just so sick of it. I didn't know where else to go..."

From here I saw the story just playing out with the romance, conflicts being out of the way, and Justin and Selena just basically being happy. I wanted to end the story on the night of their high school graduation. That's one of the things that I wasn't really sure how exactly it would end but I knew that after her accident and after her moving out nothing else would stand in their way and that they would be happy for the rest of the story.

I know this is probably not what you would have wanted especially since I could have finished the story if I were still super enthralled in this world but I thought I owed you guys this much and as many times as I have said it your love and support for the story never seizes to amaze me and I want to thank y'all once again for that. Just the fact that this story got to 90.9k reads, that in itself is incredible to me and I will never be able to thank you enough. Thank you for making this journey worthwhile and I hope that you'll still be interested in my writing enough to read something that doesn't involve Justin or Selena.

With much love,

Yazmin 💕
