Garden Boy

Chapter 12

Selena POV

"And he just left with the bottle in his hand, without even paying for his drinks" Demi explained, drying some wet dishes with a towel as I sighed due to what she told me about Zayn.

"I hurt him that much, didn't I?" I looked up at her, as she sighs and gives me a sympathetic look.

"It's not your fault"

"Yes it is Demi, I hurt him! I broke his heart because I'm rejecting his-"

"Love for you?" she cuts me off, making me nod slowly as she gives me a sympathetic smirk.

"But the question is, do you love him?"

I closed my eyes, slowly nodding, opening my eyes as I heard a small gasp escape from her lips.

"Yes Demi, I'm falling for Zayn"

She smiles at me excitedly, covering her smile with her hands as she's tries not to shriek which I found kind of funny.

"I knew it!" she jumps around with the towel in her hand, making me chuckle at her reaction.

"And it was all thanks to that kiss you both shared" she smiles, leaning against the counter with chin over her fist.

That's my best friend.

"So, if you love Zayn...."

"What?"

"What about Liam?"

What about Liam?

Should I stay with him when I know I have strong feelings for someone else? My gardener?!

"I guess I'll cancel the wedding" I bit my bottom lip, looking at my best friend as she smiles and nods.

"You do what you feel is right Sel, I'm always here right beside you"

I smiled, walking over to Demi before pulling her in for a hug. I knew she would always be there for me, especially at a time like this.

It's a time when I really need her to be there for me right now.

"Thanks Dems"

"No problem Sel" she chuckles, pulling away as she sighs, looking around the counter.

"Now shoo! I need to get this cleaning shit done"

"Ha, okay" I chuckled, turning away from her as I walk out of the kitchen.

I'm going to do it, I'm going to convince my mother to cancel the wedding. I can't get married to someone I don't love, I'm not going to let my mother take control throughout my whole life.

Hopefully no one overheard my conversation with Demi.

============================

Demi POV

"Ha, okay"

I smiled at my best friend, cleaning the counter before hearing her walk off. I turned to the sink, washing my hands with soap before hearing footsteps walk in the kitchen. Probably Selena, again.

"What is it now Sel? Did you already talk to your mother about the wedding?"

"No she hasn't, nor to me"

My eyes widen, turning around as my brown eyes meet other brown ones, but filled with anger.

"L-Liam...."

"She wants to cancel the wedding on me, for the gardener?!" he shouts angrily, walking up to me as I begin to step back away from him .

"S-She loves h-him, a-and-"
