Louder Than Words

Chapter 11

Selena POV:

I slipped back into the car and pulled the door closed. I was too busy thinking about what Justin was talking about to even acknowledge that my mom was sitting in the driver's seat staring at me.

"Who was that boy Selena?" She asked.

I jumped at the sound of her voice, instantly coming back to reality.

"Huh?"

"That boy." She repeated, gripping the steering wheel, "Who was he?"

"Oh right." I murmured, "Just some boy I know from school..No big deal."

School.

I couldn't come up with something a little bit more original than school?

My mom raised an eyebrow, "Yeah?"

I nodded putting on a smile, "Yep."

"Hmm..Then what did he want?"

"What?" I frowned, looking at her.

"What did he want?" she replied slowly.

"Mom." I huffed, "Really, it's not of you business, ok? So just drop it, yeah?"

She stared at me for a few more seconds before letting out a sigh and starting the car. I shook my head and looked out the window, turning up the radio only to have my mom turn it back down.

I turned my head to glare at her. Seeing that smirk of satisfaction on her face made me sick.

"Oh, by the way." She said, "I forgot to tell you that tomorrow night we're having dinner over at Chase's parents house so don't make any plans with anyone."

By anyone I'm assuming she meant Justin in particular.

"Oh and I'll also need you to look your very best for his parents, they hardly got a chance to look at you the last time." She frowned slightly.

I smiled to myself at the memory of me storming out of the hotel, leaving everyone behind.

"Is that ok?" She asked, not expecting any other response but a yes.

"Fucking perfect." I muttered, turning the radio back up.

I hated mainstream music but right now, it was my only escape from listening to my mother.

I sat back in my seat and closed my eyes tightly together, praying that somehow Justin will stick to his words and get me out of this situation but I couldn't get my hopes up. I wouldn't allow myself to do that. He is Justin after all. You never know when he means something or when he's just taking the piss out of you for the laugh.

Things don't always work out the way you want them to. I'm the perfect example of that.
