Part 19

*Selena's POV*

"Come on, Selena. You have to get up. It's not good to mope around all day. Get up, put some make up, put on real clothes come on," Taylor said to me as she pulled the comforter off me.

"No. I just was to stay in bed. You go out. I'm fine here," I said putting my head under the pillow.

"Selena, I'm not going to say it again," she said in a stern voice.

I groaned and got up, "Happy?"

"Yes. Now let's get you cute and let's go."

"Do we have to?"

"Do you want all the paps saying that you're so hurt by the break up, or do you want to go out there with your head held high and act like it had no effect of you?"

I sighed, "Okay, I see your point."

"Of course you do," she said giving me a sweet smile. She walked over to my closet and grabbed an outfit throwing it at me. "Now, go put this out and I'll get your make-up kit out. Chop, chop."

I heard her laugh lightly to herself as I walked down the hall to the bathroom. I sighed looking at myself in the mirror. I really did look like a hot mess. I know that it had been almost 3 weeks since the break-up, but the image of Justin kissing Kate played over and over right in the front of my memory.

I wanted so bad to take Justin back. I wanted to tell him that I forgive him, and that we would work things out together. It took everything in me not to. I wanted so many times to drive to our house and run into his arms and just not let go. I had to be strong. I couldn't allow myself to do that and be weak. I wasn't going to let myself get walked on by Justin and especially not by Kate.

I shook the thought of him out of my head and rushed to put on my new clean clothes before going back into my new bedroom where Taylor was waiting with a large array of make-up.

As I sat in the chair while Taylor did my make-up for me, I decided that I need closer. I grabbed my opened a blank new message.

Can we meet up? I think we need to talk.

I leaned my head back and closed my eyes, letting Taylor finished her masterpiece.

As Taylor put away the kit my phone buzzed in my hand. I bit my lip and look a deep breath before opening it.

Of course. Tell me the time and place and I'll be there.

I looked at Taylor, "Can we meet Justin. I want to talk to him."

She looked at me slightly taken back, "Um... are you sure about this?"

I nodded, "I need this. I need closer."

She sighed and nodded her head.

Park near the house. I'll be there in 5 minutes.

*Justin's POV*

I couldn't believe Selena texted me. And even bigger than that, she wanted to talk. Maybe she was coming to understand how sorry I really was. Whatever the reason was, I was glad I was going to be able to see her.

I grabbed my keys off the entryway table going out to car. I got in and quickly made it to the park. Not knowing if I should get out and wait for Selena or just stay in the car, I decided on staying in the car.

I sat back in my seat keeping my eyes locked on the rear view mirror waiting and watching for Selena.

As soon as I spotted her pulling into the park I began to get nervous. I wiped my now sweating hands on my pants and I began to bounce my knee watching as she walked over to my car getting in the passenger side.

With neither of us knowing what to say, we sat in silence for what felt like hours.

I swallowed hard and decided I would speak up first, "Look Selena, I'm sorr-"

She quickly cut me off, "I'm tired of hearing that you're sorry Justin. Sorry isn't going to undo what you did. Sorry won't take Kate," she winced as she said her name, "out of your life. Let's face it, Justin. Sometimes love slips away and you just can't get it back. You and I aren't meant to be you and Kate are."

I stared at her with wide eyes, but before I could talk she started again. "I know you still have feeling for her. And everyone knows she still has feeling for you. And then there's Emma. She wants her parents to be together. You should be with Kate."

"Selena," I whisper grabbing her hand softly. She quickly pulled her hand away from mine. "I love you, not Kate. Kate means less to me then the rocks on the bottom of my shoe. I want to be with you. Start a family with you. Our love is still there. It's not gone. I feel it. We belong together, not Kate and I."

"Well, you should have thought about that before you kissed Kate. Plus, you already have a family with Kate. Why should I get in the way? I'm not going to. I'm stepping aside. I'm not mad anymore. I want you and Kate to be together."

"Selena, what I did with her was a mistake. Please, give me one more chance. I'll never hurt you again. Just please," I looked at her with pleading eyes.

She tried hard to avoid my eyes, "We'll see. I need more time. I'll text you when I'm ready to talk again. Until then just think about what I said. I have to go. Taylor's waiting for me."

Before I could stop her or even say another word she was gone. I sighed and slumped into my seat. I hit my steering wheel and gridded my teeth.

Kate was going to pay for what she did. She was going to pay for messing up my whole world.
