Broken Pieces

Part 10

*Justin's POV*

I sat alone on the sofa waiting from Selena to get home. Luckily, to take my mind off of it I had invited Kate over. I know I probably shouldn't have done that especially because of how much Selena hated Kate.

"It's open," when I heard the knock on the door, knowing that it was Kate.

"Hey," she said shyly as she walked in followed by Emma.

"Hi daddy!" Emma yelled running over to me giving me a big hug and a kiss.

"Hey Emma, Selena and I got you a present, go up the stairs and look in the room next to ours."

She smiled and ran off to the stairs. The bedroom set had been, luckily, dropped off and set up only a few hours after we bought it.

Kate sat down next to me. "So, where is Selena?"

"Um...she's out with a friend right now," I stated nodding my head a bit. I was feeling a bit awkward with how close Kate was to me. It was even kind of making me nervous.

She nodded her head a bit, "Why did you invite us over?"

"I was lonely. Plus I missed saying good-bye to Emma this morning, and I really wanted to see her again."

For one split second it kind of felt like Kate and I were dating all over again. Suddenly, Kate and I were less than a few inches away from each other. We leaned close and closer, before Fredo came in the house, causing me to stop dead in my tracks.

His eyes practically popped out of his head, "Whoa," he muttered. "You're not Selena."

"Fredo, it's not what it looks like. What are you even doing here? You do know there is a thing called knocking right?"

Kate got up looking very embarrassed, "I should go. I'm going to go get Emma." Then Kate scurried up the stairs to get Emma.

"Dude, what you were thinking?! What about Selena? What if she was the one who walked in here instead of me? You two finally settled thing are you are going to go and mess everything up? You are getting married bro, you're off the market. Stop looking. What you had with Kate is over. Don't you remember how bad that was? How much it hurt both of you? Justin, seriously what were you thinking?"

Before I could answer, Kate walked in carrying Emma in her hands.

Emma started chatting before Kate could, "Thank you daddy from my room! I love it!"

"You're welcome princess," I said simi smiling at her. I turned to Kate before she left, "I'm sorry."

"Me too, I'll call you," and she ran out the door before I could say anything, leaving me alone with Fredo.

"Look, I wasn't thinking okay. You know I love Selena more than anything. I would die for her. I don't know what got into me. We were just sitting there and next thing I know, we were face to face. It felt like we were dating. I just- it won't happen again, okay? Just don't tell Selena, please, for me."

He nodded and went over into the kitchen and grabbed his jacket that was on the table.

"We aren't done talking about this," Fredo said look towards me.

*Selena's POV*

I walked in to the front door already open, which was really weird. The first thing I saw when I came in was Fredo holding his jacket. Justin never told me Fredo was coming over. He must have invited him after I left.

I walked over to him smiling and gave him a big hug, "Hey stranger. I haven't seen you in a while. Are you leaving?"

He returned my hug and nodded, "Yeah, I was just about to leave." He turned to Justin, "I'll talk to you later." Then he was gone.

I brought my attention back to Justin and smiled happily going over to him and giving him a kiss, but he was distant. I ignored it and asked, "Did you and Fredo have a good time?"

"He didn't stay long. He just got his jacket he left the other day," he said while he looked down.

I nodded my head, "Well, I'm going to go get ready for bed. I'll see you up there?"

"Yeah," he said, not looking me in the eyes.

I walked up the stairs wondering why Justin was acting so strange. Was he still mad at me because I went out? Was he mad because it was with Taylor?

After getting my pajamas on, I crawled into my spot next to Justin and cuddled up to him like I did every night. That was 'our thing,' to cuddle before we went to sleep. But tonight, for some reason, he didn't cuddle me back.

I sat up and looked at him, "Justin, what gives? Did I do something wrong?"

His head pulled up and his gaze fell on me. He brought his hand to my face cupping it. "You have done nothing wrong. You're perfect, I don't deserve you."

What had Fredo and Justin been talking about when I got there? "Did Alfredo tell you that? That you're not good enough to be with me?"

"This has nothing to do with Fredo okay? Let's talk about this later, okay? Goodnight." He kissed my head lightly and shut off the lights.

I was going to find out why he was being like this. I was going to call Fredo and get this all fixed. I didn't care how long it took.
