Justin's POV

“Do you want me to go—” before I could even finish my sentence, Selena had grab my hand bringing me with her. I bit my lip, tightening my palms around her hand.

We slowed our pace as we reached the exact room the nurse had told us. Selena was breathing heavily and slightly shaking.

“Do you think my mom's inside?” Selena asked, momentarily glancing at my way. She looked nervous and not sure about it, her eyed started to show hint of unshed tears.

I wanted to pull her to me, to reassure her. I just squeezed her hand, leaning a little on her side.

I cleared my throat not knowing what to say, “um... Maybe you should call her?” Thinking it sounded stupid and not really helping, I quickly added, ‘‘I can call her.”

She just nodded at me but didn't do anything about it. She brought up her hand and let her knuckles knocked at the door.

The door instantly cracked open. But it wasn't her mom. It was a lady, with pale blue eyes that was a little bit red from, I suppose, crying. I think she's a family member.

“Selena,” she warmly smiled at Selena pulling Selena into a hug. Selena hugged her back, and I now hear her crying.

“She's gonna be fine, mija.”

Then Selena pulled back, bringing her hands to wipe her tears away. I wanted to. The lady acknowledge me, giving me a warm smile, like she had gave Selena. I smiled back, feeling the urge to introduce myself but I doubt she doesn't know me. I've been all over the TV, radio and the papers with all the things... especially the bad ones I had done. And things I had with Selena...

“Justin Bieber.” I waited for the raw disgust and hatred curling around my name. But she didn't give it to me. Instead she smiled.

“I'm Selena's aunt,” she told me before turning her head to face Selena. “Mandy's out for a few days, she have to do some papers for the case against the reckless driver and do such things. And I'll be down for a moment, just call me if you guys are... leaving.”

Selena immediately shook her head at her aunt, “no, please , go get some rest. I can handle staying with Gracie. I'll just call my mom later.”

Her aunt hugged her again and insisted to go. But Selena was consistent and convinced her to go. She said goodbyes pulling Selena on a brief embrace then smiling at me.

After she's gone, me and Selena went inside the room.

Gracie lied on the bed with white sheets wrapped around her small frame. I look down at her examining her condition. She is.... she was this cheerful girl, with cheeky grin all over her pretty face. Don't forget she's a smartass. Because of her I got to talk with Selena again after she had blocked me. I enjoyed staying in their house for weeks, she provided me amazing company along with her silly jokes and trivia about Sel. She's...

I can't believe what I am seeing.

She looked spiritless and beaten up, completely different from the Gracie I used to know. She had bruises, thankfully healing now, scratches on her tiny arms, and she's paler than white.

Selena crouched down, tears streaming down her cheeks. My eyes sting just seeing them like this. She reached to touch Gracie. Her hand graze over Gracie's limp one.

Selena gently lift her hand to kiss the back of it. Gracie flinched.
Selena panicked.

I place down my hands on her shoulder calming her. She look up at me, “she's gon' be all right, right?”

I smiled down at her, “yes, the pain will fade away and sweet Gracie will back.”

~•×•~

“Justin?” the girl with a high ponytail, pitched at me as I turned in the hallway. I was on my way back to Gracie's room after getting Selena something to eat.

It startled me for a bit but eventually recognize her face. I sighed in relief, “Jade.”

“What do you think you're doing here, huh? A surprise visit? Or you got some girl in here pregnant?” Jesy said, raising her brows at me in disbelief.

“Bieber? Have you forgot how to answer questions with your lies?” Leigh-Ann shrugged.

My throat was dry so I shook my head.

“Just tell us what are you doing here,” Perrie rolled her eyes.

I cleared my throat awkwardly. Meeting their gazes, “I was with Sele—”

Leigh interrupted me, her eyes wide  like the owls, “no fucking way.”

Jade and Jesy sighed as Perrie slap her hand on her forehead in disbelief.

“It's not... like that.” I avoid their eyes looking down at the white tiles on the floor. “We are friends. I... And Gracie's been a part of me... once. Selena needs someone... she... broke down.”

Eyeing me carefully the girls nodded. Jade mouthed an ‘I'm sorry for that’ as we walk quietly.

Just as we reach the room, the door burst open. Selena stomp out of the room, her hands clutching her phone to her ear.

“Why would you think like that? You're overreacting! He—” she yelled over the phone and clamp her mouth shut as she noticed us.

“Is everything okay?” Jesy's voice softened, as she looked at Selena worried.

Selena nodded abruptly. “Yeah, just gotta sort things out.”

Selena's POV

“NO!”

“Char—”

“You're with freaking Justin Bieber right now in Texas? What is it like a vacation?’’

“That's—”

“Are you fucking cheating on me Selena? I was just away for a few days you were like clinging to other man? I knew it Sel, I know he's you're fucking ex-boyfriend! Who told me? Oh, let's say—”

“Stop it!” I spat new tears started coming down my face.

Anger building up my throat, “I am not cheating with you! And this isn't a fucking vacation! You are just this...”

“What Sel, huh? Are you gonna —”

I wanted to scream at him until his ears couldn't take it and fall off his head.

“I'm not fucking cheating on you! How could you? He doesn't love me! He doesn't Charlie! He's a friend! And it fucking hurts because I am fucking in lo—”

He yelled back something but I couldn't make the words he was saying because I frost.

I couldn't believe I had said those things...

“Sel...” Justin's voice startled me as warm hands rest down my shoulders. I twisted facing him.

He smiled at me reassuringly, “everything alright?”

I shut my phone off, nodding at him. He smiled once again before throwing his arms around me, enveloping me in his arms.
