Starstrucked (Lolena Fanfic)

Chapter 11

Logan's P.O.V

Nothing really happened yesterday after we all had lunch. Just the usual things. Justin drove back to wherever he was, while Selena, Charity and I got back to the shooting area, or more like our base camp. I took some scenes, and then I was done. I got back early last night.

Now I'm on my way to the coffee shop, just as arranged, to meet Justin and talk about Alex. Well I gotta remind you that I'm a late person, since it's like a quarter past 8, and we promised to meet at 8, and I'm still on my way. I guess my relationship with time is just not that good.

Justin has already sat in one of the empty chairs inside. The mirror beside him shows the morning empty streets of the city, making him to abandon the mug of coffee in front of him and look outside instead. "Hey," I say, rather in a whisper.

"Hey man," he turns his head to see me, and smiles fadely. "I was about to order something for you but I don't know how you like your coffee, so-"

"Yeah I know it's fine, and also I'm sorry for being late," I quickly apologize. "I haven't been so good at showing up on time." Sad, but true.

"All good man," he says, taking his mug and sips his coffee. I get up and get a mug for myself, and then sit on the chair in front of him. For a moment there's a silence between us.

"So," I say as I sip my coffee, "how do you know Alex?" I just can't contain my curiosity any longer.

"Does it matter?" He asks back. "It's not what we're talking about."

"I thought we're going to talk about her?"

There's a complete silence between us. I would like to think that Justin's sad and it's hard for him to say it but somehow there's just this thing that makes him look.... fake. It is as if he's putting on an act, like he's trying to trick me.

"Selena, she.." Justin says again, continued with another short silence. "Well what Alex has said to you, it's true. Alex overheard the crew asking Selena to go out with me for her fame-"

"And you believe her? Just like that?" There's something going on here. I'm sure of that. I just need to find out what.

"Ye-yeah, of course, Alex is my friend, of course I believe her. Besides, I saw it myself. I saw her manager asking her to keep things good between us, she said it wasnt the best time to break up with me," Justin says.

"So why didn't you break up with her?" I ask him. These questions need to be answered. "If you know that she's just a famewhore, why the fuck do you still date her? Why still call her precious?"

"Because- because she's..." Justin hesitates for awhile, as if he's thinking about something. "Because I love her. You know her. It's nearly impossible to resist her. Even if she's just using me, I just can't help it anymore. I've fallen for her and that's the worst part."

For a moment I don't say anything. I'm putting all the pieces together. Weird, but somehow most of the pieces don't fit well, and that's when my mouth can't hold the questions in my brain anymore. "Then why do you cheat on her?"

Justin looks surprised. Either I just asked the right question, or it's just he's purely surprised because it's not going according to his plan. I'm going with the second option, personally. He opens his mouth several times but no words come out. "What?"

I don't say anything. This time I just look at him, signalling him that I don't need to repeat what I said, since I'm sure I made that clear. This really doesn't work according to his plan, and he doesn't prepare any plan B.

"I didn't- I don't cheat on her! How can you say that?!" Justin says, his voice loud, shouting a little with anger. "How can I cheat on her?"

"Well you tell me about that. How can you cheat on her with Emma? You know, the pretty smart blonde girl with beautiful eyes and smile," I can feel my chest starting to burn with anger too, but I try to keep it to myself. "Stop playing dumb, Justin. I know you cheat on her, it's just a matter of time for the world to know that, including that 'precious girl' of yours."

His face changes into an mad one, and this time i can tell that it's real. Well Justin if you wanna trick an actor you better be good at acting. I can see his jaws tightened, his hand clenching, his eyes full of anger. Now that's real. Before it was just words with intonation, no action.

"Okay smart guy. Yes, I cheat on Selena. What are you gonna do now? Tell her? Go ahead. I don't care. She's way too in love with me to break up with me. Tell the media?" He stops to chuckle for awhile. "Go ahead and see what happens to you. You see? There's nothing you can do to threat me with."

True. All the things that he said are true. There's nothing I can do. Telling the media will just make my name bad. I remain silent at his speech.

"Besides, I regret cheating on her," Justin continues. "I uh, I- everybody makes mistake, and cheating on her is probably my worst mistake ever. The thing is just- I love her. A lot. Alex told me that you have feelings for her, and uh-"

I'm done with him. You're right Charity, he's an asshole. "Stop. Talking. About. Love. What do you know about it?! Stop acting like you're all in love with her, when what you did to her is clearly hurting her. A mistake? If you knew that it was a mistake, you wouldn't keep on secretly meeting Emma! If you knew it was a mistake you'd stop texting her before things got complicated! I may not know anything about love, but at least I know how to be loyal."

With that, I stand up and head to the door. "I'm sorry but I have to time for this kind of shit."

A hand wraps my wrist and pulls me back, stopping me from leaving. "Don't you dare, lay your hands on Selena." Justin says, half whispering. "I'm warning you."

I shrug his hand off my wrist, my eyes looking at him with disgust, hate, anger, all become one. I don't care Justin. Threat me with all the threats you can threat me with, I'm still gonna make Selena realize that she deserves better than such an asshole like you. I don't care.
