Broken Pieces

Broken Pieces Part 47

*Selena's POV*

I could not believe that Justin didn't stand up for me, and then to say what he said in front of Kate, of all people, and Emma. As if I wasn't having a hard enough day.

I sighed and leaned my head back on the pillow, trying to take myself somewhere calmer.

"Hey," I heard Justin say in a small voice from the door.

"What do you want?" I said a bit too harsh, without bothering to open my eyes.

"I came to say that I'm sorry. Not just with the whole Kate thing but even before that. I know you're going through a lot and your emotions are still all over the place, and I'm sorry. I should have been there for you instead of fighting with you," he said as he stepped closer to me. He grabbed my hands softly in his. "I hate fighting with you, Sel. I know that we didn't plan for the baby and we didn't even really know until it was too late but I loved it. And I know that it won't make up for it, but we can try again. When the timing is right. We will be ready this time. He or she will be loved. We'll all be a happy family."

"But we will always be missing a part of our family," I whispered as a tear rolled down my cheek.

He leaned up to kiss my tear away, "I know we will. But we have to move on with our lives. Now we have a little protector. God is holding him or her safe in heaven. And if you think about it, he or she had it better than any of us ever will. He never had to go through the pain of living, of suffering, and heartbreak, dying. He got to skip all the bad parts of living and go straight to the good part; heaven. He will be so much happier up there than he ever would be on Earth," Justin said in his calming voice.

"I'm sorry, Jay. I have been so mean to you lately. You treat me so good. I'm just...I'm so sorry," I said as the tears began to fall like rain.

"Oh it's okay. It's not your fault. I forgive you. Everything is okay," he said rubbing my back as I cried into his chest.

"You- you said that we can try again?" I asked after I had calmed down a bit.

"Of course."

"Can we maybe have it before we get married?" I whispered into his chest.

"We'll see, baby, we'll see."

"Okay Ms. Gomez you are free to go. Remember take it easy for the first few days. Mr. Bieber has your pain medication and you can leave whenever you are ready," the doctor said as he shook my hand and left.

"Are you excited to get out of here?" Justin asked me as he helped me to the car. Since I was in the hospital, all the flooding had gone down and the whole city as now up and running.

*Justin's POV*

"Tomorrow we have the follow up meeting with the Judge to go over the custody plan," I said as I helped Selena get settled back into our room.

Taylor had been checked out right after Emma. Thankfully, she was completely fine and everything was back to normal with her.

Emma on the other hand was a bit shaken up by what had happened. She didn't blame Selena but she was still cautious but she was still aware about what was going on.

"Yeah, I don't think I'll be going to that," Selena said after she finally got into bed.

"Why not?"

"I'm not dealing with Kate again. I don't think you understand how much I despise her," she said shaking her head.

In my perfect world, Kate and Selena would be friends. Able to get along with each other, or at least be civil, instead of wanting to go at each other's throats every time they saw each other.

"Okay, are you all settled?" I asked and waited for her to nod. "Okay well, I'm going to see Fredo. Remember Emma is here. If you need anything call me and if there is an emergency please, please call me."

She nodded again, "I know, I know. Go have fun with the boys. Don't stay out too late."

"Wow you have had a crazy week," Alfredo said as we sat on the sofa's watching a basketball game and enjoying a few beers.

"I know. It kind of feels like Kate and I are together when I'm with her. I forget about the rest of the world and that matters is her," I said sinking my head down.

I knew that it wasn't right to feel this way. It wasn't even normal. But I couldn't control it.

"Bro, that's not good at all. What about Selena?" he asked.

"I know, I know. I would never leave Selena. I love her way past death. When I saw her in that car, basically dead, it killed me. It feels like I'm love with two girls. Is that even possible? Can you love more than one person at a time?"

"I don't know, but I suggest you figure it out soon like before you get married to Selena. You don't want to have to get a divorce a few months later because you found out that Kate was the right one," he said taking another swig of beer.

"So you are saying I should go with Kate? Leave Sel and go with Kate?" I asked turning my head to look at him.

"No, that's not what I'm saying at all. Okay, look at it this way. You, Kate and Selena are all in a car on a bridge that was hit by an 18-wheeler. The car is about to go over the side of the bridge and you only have time to save one girl. Who is it?"
