Harry's POV

Haricella left. I ran upstairs to check up on Selena. When I reached my room, I peaked in to see how she was doing. She slept like an angel. It's funny how I hate her, yet she's te only source to help me. She began to move around a bit.

"Harry?" Damn it.

"Just checking up on you."

Selena observed the ceiling for a bit. Her hands went up to 'touch' it. The nails went across the top. The palm touched the dried up dripped white paint. She began to giggle.

"Your ceiling, reminds me of something."

"What do you mean?"

"Ariana."

Her smile got wider and wider when she kept observing the ceiling. Her giggles and murmurs became happier.
Selena was having fun. She was having a memory.

"What does the ceiling have to do with Ariana?"

"When I was younger, before Ari had to go, she used to touch the dried up dripped paint from the ceiling."

"That's weird." She smiled and glanced at me.

"But was perfect."

"You want anything to eat?"

"Sure, Billy Billius' Big Bunches of Bamitches?" She suggested.

"Yes!"

I was kinda hungry anyways. Selena got off the bed and into the living room. I went into my closet and picked out some clothes to wear. I finally found what I was gonna wear, even though it only took 3 minutes. I sat on my bed and thought about Selena. She's so strong. Stronger than me. And clever. I would have ever thought that she would be relate to Ariana. But it was eating her alive.

"Harry!" I heard Selena scream.

"It's time to go!"

I ran down the stairs and took a good few seconds to look at Selena. I wasn't even going to lie, she looked cute. And surprising, because most girls take like an hour to get ready. Her hair was straightened and there was split just down the middle of her head. She had a Ninja Turtles hoodie, with booty shorts and combat boots. She looked good, being herself.

"What?"

"You just look," I true to think of a word that was just right.

"yourself." I finished off.

At first, she gave me a 'you-are-such-a-creep' kinda look. Then, she smiled and hugged me. I didn't reject the hug. But hugging her felt right. She pulled away and began to walk. Billy Billius' Big Bunch of Bamitches wasn't that far. It was dark, so pretty hard to see. I grabbed Selena's hand, she didn't mind. We continued to walk.

"Harry?"

"Yeah."

"Do you still love Ariana?"

"Always."

"Then why are you holding my hand?"

"Just because."

"Because what?"

I turned to Selena. I didn't let go of her hand, hell I held both of her hands. I looked straight into her eyes. Her hands were soft, but not as soft as Ariana's. Her eyes were dazzling, but not as much as Ariana's. She was beautiful, but didn't compare to Ariana.

"Because you deserve it."

"Deserve what?"

"To be loved."

I leaned down and kissed her. Not because I like her, because I know what she's been through. She's in this hole and she's stuck. I felt her lips. Not as soft as Ariana's, but it'll do. Selena pulled away.

"Don't do that." She kinda whispered.

"Why?"

"Because you're supposed to be with Ariana."

"I know."

"Then why did you do it?"

"Selena, I know you're hurt. I just wanted you to feel a tad bit better."

"Can we just forget about it?"

"Sorry."

"I cans deny that I liked it though."
