I'm Gonna Love You Through It

Part 25

I’m gonna love you through it

Part 25

*Justin’s POV*

After a long night on the bus, we had finally made it to Phoenix. The crew had already set up the stage before Sel and I had even woken up. I carefully got out of bed, trying not to wake Selena and headed into the arena after getting ready.

We had been practing for quite some time when a sleepy Selena came walking in looking around at the big arena. I smiled and laughed to myself talking into the microphone. “Good morning love.”

Anyone could easily tell she was embarrassed by the scene I had caused, by her cheeks turned right red and she slumped into a seat near the back of the floor seat that the team had set up.

I went back into singing ‘Fall’, getting lost in the song, remembering when I had met Selena. I had written this song about her the night after we met. It almost didn’t make the album but I managed to beg the record label to let it slid and somehow it made it on the album.

Before I knew it, we were in my dressing room. One hour until show time. It had been a while since I had performed in front of people but I was no where near nervous. I at one the sofa in the room with Selena’s legs on my lap. I was so glad she was the one here, sharing this experince with me. “Sel…My mom’s going to be flying out to join us soon. She really excited to meet you, you know?”

She sighed softly talking without opening her eyes “What if she doesn’t like me Justin? I can’t handle your mom not liking me.”

I hated when she assumed that everyone would hate her. “Sel, she’s going to love you just as much as I do. Well, maybe not as much as me cause that is a lot of love.” I smiled towards her trying to lighten the conversation.

"You don’t know that, Jay. I had a lot of …. flaws. What if she thinks I’m… I don’t know… using you to pay my medicial bills, or something?"

I let out a soft laugh, “Selena, listen to me. My mom is going to love you. You have nothing to worry about. Okay? I promise.”

Just as our lips were about to meet Scooter burst into the room. “30 minutes JB. We still have to pray and do the chant, and you need to get your mic on.” I sighed knowing that meant my alone time with Selena was up until after the show.

We both got up from the sofa and walked hand and hand to where the crew was all gathered around.

They quickly got me into my mic and we all got into a large circle was we started to do our prayer.

Religion was a big thing to and thankfully Selena felt the same and I was so glad that that was something we could share. After we finished praying we all put our hands in and started our chant.

"DUCKS, DUCKS, DUCKS, DUCKS, QUACK, QUACK, QUACK, QUACK, ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!" We all chanted before I kissed Selena and ran off on to the stage.

The crowd was wild and I felt the energy in the room the moment I stepped onto the stage. The crowd went even wilder as I began to sing the first of many songs.

*Selena’s POV*

I watched the whole concert from the side of the stage. I saw a smile on Justin’s face that I had never seen before, and that caused me to smile. I watched as the concert came to an end and Justin left the stage pulling me into a kiss.

"EW! JUSTIN YOU’RE ALL SWEATY" I laughed and pushed him off my gently. He laughed running back stage. I went back over to where I had watched the whole concert play out and smiled wide as the crowd cheered for an encore.

I watched confused as Justin rushed pasted me onto the stage with a guitar. After watching him in rehearsals time after time I had never seen him practice and encore.

"This is a new song I wrote… for someone who means the world to me. This is my first time performing it so I hope you like it." I watched from the side of the stage still very confused.

I felt a tear fall down my face as he started to play my song.

'She dropped the phone and burst into tears

 The doctor just confirmed her fears

 Her boyfriend held it in and held her tight

 Cancer don’t discriminate or care if you’re just 18

 With people who need you in their lives

 He said, “I know that you’re afraid and I am, too

 But you’ll never be alone, I promise you”

When you’re weak, I’ll be strong

 When you let go, I’ll hold on

 When you need to cry, I swear that I’ll be there to dry your eyes

 When you feel lost and scared to death,

 Like you can’t take one more step

 Just take my hand, together we can do it

 I’m gonna love you through it.

She made it through the surgery fine

 They said they caught it just in time

 But they had to take more than they planned

 Now it’s forced smiles and baggy shirts

 To hide what the cancer took from her

 But she just wants to feel like a woman again

 She said, “I don’t think I can do this anymore”

 He took her in his arms and said “That’s what my love is for”

When you’re weak, I’ll be strong

 When you let go, I’ll hold on

 When you need to cry, I swear that I’ll be there to dry your eyes

 When you feel lost and scared to death,

 Like you can’t take one more step

 Just take my hand, together we can do it

 I’m gonna love you through it.

And when this road gets too long

 I’ll be the rock you lean on

 Just take my hand, together we can do it

 I’m gonna love you through it.

 I’m gonna love you through it.’

By the time Justin was finished singing I was balling. As soon as he stepped off the stage I ran into his arms, throwing my arms around his neck. “Thank you so much,” I whispered up to him. “I love you Jay.”

"I love you, Sel. And I’m gonna love you through it.
