Justin’s POV:
“We wish you the best with your record Mr. Bieber” the interviewer told me while we finished up the interview. “Thank you” I told him before leaving. I got in the car to head back to the hotel and then take off to the airport. I finished all my interviews sooner than we had expect so I was able to go back home today. I grabbed my phone and texted Selena.
Hey baby. I’m going home today! (: How did it go with you guys?
We got to the hotel and I ran upstairs to pack everything up so we can leave as soon as possible. I couldn’t wait to be with Selena. I heard my phone ringing and I knew that it would be her. “Hey baby!” I exclaimed to her, excited to hear what she was going to tell me about her new sibling.
“Hey.” she responded not sounding very excited. “What’s wrong Sel?” I asked her confused. “How did everything go? Do you have a little brother or sister?”
“I have nobody yet.” she stated. “ We didn’t get to see any babies today.”
“Why not?” I asked.
“Something happened with my mom. It was really weird.” she explained to me.
“What do you mean?” I asked her. “Well when we were talking to the head lady of the foster and adoption home, this girl, that looked like she was around my age, walked into the office and when she left, my mom started crying hysterically. I don’t know why though and Brian had to reschedule our next visit.” she told me.
“Have you talked to your mom?” I asked still confused.
“No we got home and she went into her bedroom and now she’s talking to Brian. They told me that they would explain later so I’m in my room waiting for them to talk to me.” she explained. “I don’t know why but I feel really nervous to hear what they are going to tell me.”
“Everything will be fine baby,” I reassured her. Then I heard someone knocking on Selena’s door. “I’ll call you later Justin,” she told me. “I love you.” and then hung up.
Selena’s POV:
“Come in!” I yelled. “Hey Sel,” Brian said as he came into my room. He looked like he had been crying also. “Your mom and I wanna talk to you.” I got up and walked towards Brian. He put his arm around my shoulder and walked with me to my mom’s room.
“Hey sweetie,” my mom told me, “come sit down.” she said patting to a spot on her bed. My stomach was turning because of how nervous I was. Brian sat down next to my mom and held her hand.
“Honey there’s something that I’ve been wanting to tell you.” she continued. My mom and Brian looked at each other and then turned to me. “ Sel, two months after you were born,” she paused starting to tear up again, “ I got pregnant again.” My heart stopped hearing my mom say those words.
“Your father and I were struggling so much taking care of you and we knew that we wouldn’t be able to take care of another child. We were only 16.”
My eyes started to tear up. She continued, “We knew what we had to do. When she was born, we gave her up for adoption. We made sure she was in a great home.”
When I heard my mom say she, I couldn’t believe that I had a sister out there somewhere. “W-what?!” I yelled as I started to cry.
“Wait honey let me finish,” my mom interrupted me, “ that girl that we saw, Sophia, I knew that that was her as soon as I saw her. We named your sister Sophia right before we gave her up for adoption. Knowing that she was in foster homes almost all her life, when I thought she was with a great family all this time killed me. That’s why I ran out.” she stopped to see what I had to say.
“ All this time I had a sister and you kept her from me!” I yelled at her. I had never yelled at my mom like that before but I was so angry! “Selena calm down,” Brian told me calmly. “How can I calm down?!” I snapped back. I got up and ran to my room. I needed to talk to Justin.
Justin’s POV:
“Hello?” I answered the phone when I saw Selena was calling. “J-Justin.” she cried. “Baby what’s wrong?” I asked worried when I heard that she was crying. “I have a sister.” she told me. “That’s great babe!” so you’re getting a girl after all!” I said.
“N-no Justin,” she continued, “That girl that we saw at the adoption and foster home that came into the office, she’s my sister. My mom got pregnant again two months after I was born but they gave her up for adoption.” she told me.
“What?” I asked in shocked. “Sel are you okay?”
“N-no Justin. I need to see you. I wanna get out of this house!” she yelled. “I’m almost home babe. You can take off to my house already. I’ll meet you there.” I told her. “Okay,” she replied.
Selena’s POV:
I hung up the phone with Justin and grabbed my purse and my car keys. I quietly ran out of the house so my parents wouldn’t hear me and took off to Justin’s place. I really wanted to go back to that foster and adoption home and just hug Sophia. I could only imagine how hard her life must have been. The way Ms. Scott grabbed her arm made me angry, I could tell she hadn’t been treated right by her.
I got to Justin’s house and quickly knocked on his door. He opened it and I ran into his arms and sobbed into his shoulder.
“Shh baby it’s ok” he whispered to me as he picked me and took me to his room. He laid me down on his bed and I put my head on his chest. Justin didn’t say one word to me. He just laid down with me and let me cry until I fell asleep.
