Louder Than Words

Chapter 25

~ Justin's P.O.V ~

I stared down at my hand as I sat on the grass, not caring who looked at me. I waited patiently for Selena to show up, truthfully, I could've waited a lifetime. Anything to put this off.

"Justin!" I heard her voice chirp.

I quickly scrambled up from the grass and turned my body towards her. Watching as she made her way through the grass with a smile on her lips. She looked gorgeous.
When she reached me she threw her arms around my neck and hugged me. I wrapped my arms around her waist tightly, closing my eyes as I dug my head into the side of her neck, savoring the feel of her body against mine.
She giggled into my skin, sending shivers up my spine.

"I missed you too." She joked.

I let out a sigh as I peeled myself away from her. I couldn't even bring myself to smile at her, knowing that what I was about to do would only hurt the both of us. Not just me but Selena too. I could see hurt flash through her eyes when I pulled away, I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat and took a deep breath, preparing myself for what I was about to do.

"Babe?" She questioned, "Is everything ok?"

I shook my head, taking my eyes off of her and brought them down to my feet, suddenly finding a great fucking interest in them.

"Why? What's wrong?" She asked, wrapping her arms around me.

Reluctantly, I unwrapped her arms from my body and brought them back to her sides as I began to speak.

"I uh... I can't do this." I choked out quietly.

She frowned in confusion, "Do what Justin?"

My name sounded amazing coming from her mouth. Everything did. It hurt me knowing that this is probably the last time she'll say it, unless she's bitching about me for what I'm about to do.

"This." I repeated, "Us. I-I can't do it."

It felt like someone was squeezing my heart as I looked at her. Those gorgeous eyes of hers were filling with tears as she realized what I was doing.

"It's not-"

"Don't." She growled, "Don't give me that speech; it's not you it's me Justin because I swear on my grandfathers grave that I'll beat the shit out of you."

It was obvious that she was angry and hurt. I watched as a tear slid down her cheek, I had a urge to wipe it away, to pull her into my arms and kiss her, telling her that I was stupid and that I didn't care about the law then beg her to forgive me for making her cry.
But I couldn't do that.
I've been in enough trouble with the law through my life as it is and every time they let me off with me promising that I'll stay out of trouble, yeah.. I don't think Officer Doyle would appreciate me coming into the station under arrest for kidnapping.

"I-I wasn't going to say that.." I murmured, "It's not because I don't love you Selena-"

"Did you ever love me?!" She hissed, cutting me off.

I looked at her in shock, "Of course I did."

"Did?"

"No." I frowned, becoming annoyed with myself, "I still do, believe me I fucking love you Selena."

"Then why are you doing this Justin?! Huh?!" She yelled at me, causing a lot of people to look our way.

But she didn't care and neither did I.

"Because we can't be together." I told her, "I'm eighteen, you're seventeen. It's the law. I can't get you out of the marriage unless I get myself arrested and even then that won't do any good, your mom and dad-"

"Wait." She frowned, "You talked to my parents? When?"

"Not too long ago.." I replied.

"So they're the cause of this?" She growled, "They're the ones who told you all of this shit about the law?"

She didn't give me a chance to explain. She already took off running out of the park, towards her place. I looked around at everyone who was staring at me anxiously. I rolled my eyes. Nosey fucks.
I took off running after Selena. Knowing that she'd only make things worse by trying to start a fight with her parents.

" Selena!" I screamed, trying to catch up with her.

She didn't stop, she just continued running, leaving me behind, running after her like a madman.

~ Selena's P.O.V ~

" Selena!" Justin screamed again.

By now I was barely half way home and was already struggling to catch my breath. Justin took the chance of me slowly down my pace in attempt to get some air back into my lungs to grab me, stopping me from running off anywhere.

"Let me go Justin!" I yelled at him, not caring who was around to stare.

I kept pulling away from him, trying to get out of his grip but he wouldn't let me go, no matter how hard I tried. Justin grabbed both of my shoulders, holding me in place as he turned me around to face him. I stared at him through my tears for a few seconds before looking away. I couldn't bare to look at him without bursting into tears. I stared at my feet but Justin cupped my face in his hands, forcing me to look at him.

"Listen, alright?" He told me, "I love you, alright? None of your parents threats will even change that, understand? But I have no choice but to stay away from you.. I'm sorry Selena.. Really, I'm so sorry."

He placed his lips on mine one last time before pulling away and letting go of me. I saw a tear run down his cheek, one that he was quick to wipe away. He gave me a small, but it looked as if he was in pain.

"Chase is one lucky guy Selena.. I'll tell you that."

"Jay.." I choked out.

He quickly turned on his heels and hurried down the road, leaving me standing on the side of the road, my vision completely blurred by my tears. I wanted to scream out his name, begging him to come back and I wanted to run after him. But I couldn't move. It was as if I was numb. I felt nothing but the aching pain in my chest as I watched the love my life go away...
