Louder Than Words

Chapter 29

~ Selena's P.O.V ~

I waited with Justin on his couch. He made me call my dad so that he could try sort something out with him about the wedding. I let out a nervous breath making Justin glance away from the TV to look at me. He squeezed my hand reassuringly. I rested my head on his shoulder as he wrapped his arm around me, pulling me closer to him.

He kissed the top of my head, mumbling, "Everything will work out babygirl. Just wait."

I nodded, not saying a word and kept my eyes on the TV, waiting to hear a knock on the door.

Eventually there was a knock on the door. My head snapped up to Justin who just gave me a small smile as he let go of my hand to stand up and answer the door. I sat on the couch nervously, not sure whether or not I wanted to hear what my father said. Don't get me wrong, I trusted Justin but when it came to my dad, I'm not sure if Justin was just trying to reassure me or what.

I watched as Justin pulled the door open and my father walked into the room, his eyes landing on me. I stood up and glanced at Justin who shut the door and quickly made his way back to my side, taking my hand in his again.

"Hi Selena." My dad greeted quietly.

"Dad." I replied giving him a nod.

He looked at Justin and began speaking again.

"So, you guys wanted to talk to me."

"Yeah." Justin grunted, "We wanted to talk about the wedding."

My dad glanced between the two of us nervously before nodding.

"I'm not going through with it dad." I told him, "I can't allow myself to go through with it.."

"I know." He mumbled, "Believe me, I know."

"Then why are you putting me through it?!" I barked.

Justin kissed the side of my head, rubbing my back in small circles.

"Baby, calm down."

My dad stared at us for a few seconds before talking again.

"Your mom.. She wants the best for you."

"Justin is what's best for me dad! When are you two going to see that?!"

"I do see it... Now." He replied.

"Look." Justin cut in, keeping his eyes on my dad, "I can't get her out of this mess without your help.."

We both stared at my dad as he stared at us blankly with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"What do you want me to do..?" He asked quietly.

I let out a breath that I didn't know that I was holding in and stared at my dad in shock. He looked at me, giving me a small smile. Justin let out a light chuckle, pushing me forward slightly into my dad's arms. I hugged him tightly, as if I was a little girl again.

"Thank you." I mumbled into my dad's shoulder.

I pulled back from the hug and looked at Justin who smiled at me and winked playfully.

From there on Justin and my dad talked about the wedding and how they were finally going to put an end to it.
