Waiting For Superman - Jelena

Chapter Seven: "Let Me Love You..."

Chapter Seven

"Let Me Love You..."

Selena's Point Of View

"Thanks for the ride home,"

Justin nods his head. "Anytime." he says with no emotion.

The whole car ride home was completely silent. Justin didn't even bother trying to ask me what had happened back at the movie theater. I don't know if he's mad at me or what's wrong, but I know for sure he's mad.

"Justin-"

"I'll walk you up to your door." he says, cutting me off as he hops out of the car. I sigh and get out as well, closing the door behind me and walk behind him up to the door.

"I'm sorry about...what happened back at the movie theater." I say as we reach my doorstep.

"Who the hell was that asshole?" Justin suddenly yells.

"I-I don't want to talk about it."

"You said you would explain everything later. It's later. And I would love to know who the hell he thinks he is."

I was praying that my mother couldn't hear Justin yelling. I didn't need her to worry and come to the door.

"I..." I stutter with my words. I know I had said that I would explain everything to Justin later, but I only said that so he would drive off. I don't want Justin to know about my past. It's hard for me to talk about and I didn't want him to see me as a pathetic and worthless person; though I am one.

"Who is he?" Justin demands for me to tell him.

I sigh. "I'll explain if you stay with me here for awhile."

"You promise you'll explain?"

"Yes. Please, stay."

"Alright," he says, nodding his head.

I pull out my house key and unlock the door. We walk inside and I hang up my jacket.

"Mom?" I call out.

Seconds later, my mom came down the stairs. She had a relieved look on her face.

"You didn't call me to let me know when you were on your way home." she says.

My mom gets worried about me very easily. She used to not be so overprotective of me. But ever since what happened between Tristan and I she has her eyes constantly on me. The thought of what has happened with Tristan and I makes me cringe, so I push the thought to the back of my head.

"Sorry." I say. "I forgot."

My gives me a look of disapproval but makes it disappear as she looks at Justin. "Thanks for taking her out tonight." she says sweetly.

"It was my treat. I had a lot of fun." Justin replies.

"Is it okay if Justin stays over here for a little while?" I ask, picking at my nails.

I know my mom was skeptical about this. She doesn't want me to be alone with a boy ever again after she found out what Tristan has done. I literally had to beg her earlier today for me to go to the movies with Justin. She almost didn't give in, but I somehow convinced her into letting me go.

"Uh, sure." my mom says. Although I know she was wanting to say no. "I was just about to run to the store to get a few things. But-"

"You can still go to the store." I cut her off. "We'll be fine."

She gives me a worried look.

"Okay. But I'll be back as soon as I'm done shopping." she informs both of us.
