Testing fate

Part 16

*Selena's POV*

It had been 3 days since I stormed out of the hospital because Justin was being a prick. With all this extra time I had I was able to send a lot more time with my best friend.

"Tay, that sounds perfect. There's no reason to do it again. Really it was right on point. You hit the pocket perfectly," I said as Taylor finished listening to her recording.

"I don't know. I feel like ... Something missing," she said tapping her face with the end of a pencil.

I opened my mouth only to be cut off by my phone ringing for the millionth time today.

"Is that Justin again?" She asked.

I let out a fake laugh. "What?" I said dragging out the work. "PSHH no."

"Selena answer the poor boy. You should not be in a fight over me. I honestly couldn't care less if he likes me or not. I'm not worth the effort you are putting forth to ignore him," she said.

That was one of the many, MANY reasons I loved Taylor so much. She always put everyone before her and she didn't care what people thought about her.

"No he's fine. We are in the middle of something," I said shaking my head and turning off the volume on my phone before moving my attention back to her.

“I think I’m done for the day. I just need to sleep on it. Please, if you love me half as much as you say you do you will talk to Justin,” Taylor said as she began to pack up her purse.

I sighed and sat in front of the soundboard messing around with a random beat.

I felt my phone vibrate and I sighed and answered the phone.

“Hello?” I asked.

I heard Justin sigh. “Sel, I’m sorry. Please call me back.”

“Justin, I answered the phone,” I giggled lightly.

“Selena?? Is that really you?” He asked shocked.

“Yeah, Justin. Please don’t make me regret answering the phone.”

“Selena, I am so sorry. I was a jerk. I shouldn’t have done that. I just, I’m sorry,” he sighed.

“It’s fine,” I said trying to ignore the fact that he had really hurt my feelings.

“Do you want to come over to Scooter’s office? We started planning the benefit,” he said changing the subject.

“Okay. Do you want me to pick up some food on the way? It’s getting kind of late.”

“Uh, yeah. You know what I like so yeah,” he said before we said our goodbyes.

I drove to a McDonalds on the way as I called Leigh to see how Brayden was doing.

Apparently, he wasn’t doing much better. I told her about the benefit and she thought that was an amazing idea and that that would make him feel a lot better.

*Justin’s POV*

I was so happy that Selena had answered the phone and decided to forgive me. I don’t know why she did it but I was happy she did.

30 minutes after she called she walked into the office with bags of food.

“MERRY CHRISTMAS!” she yelled as she walked in.

“Babe, it’s only June,” I laughed going to help her.

“Merry Christmas in June,” she corrected with a wink as she walked into the board room setting the bags of food down.

“I got a whole bunch of different stuff not really knowing what Fredo, Scooter and the others would want,” she said with a smile

“We heard there was food!” Fredo said rounding the corner.

“Whoa, word spreads fast around here,” she laughed.

Everyone piled into the conference room and picked and choose what they wanted thanking Selena in the process.

I smiled and kissed her cheek. “This was really sweet of you. You didn’t have to bring it for everyone.”

She smiled and grabbed some food for herself.

Once we finished eating I grabbed her hand and pulled her over to the space I was using as an office for the day.

“I want you to listen to this new song,” I said sitting her in the chair in front of the computer, and handed her the Beats headphones.

She placed then on her ears and I clicked play on the computer.

She closed her eyes, nodding along as the song I wrote a few weeks ago played.

Once the song was over, she took the headphone off and nodded.

“What did you think?” I asked nervously.

“It was okay,” she shrugged.

My face fell. “Just okay?”

“I’m kidding babe. It was great. The message was really sweet,” she winked kissing my cheek.

I let out a breath and kissed her. “Would you be okay with me realizing it?”

“Why wouldn’t I?” she asked tilting her head slightly.

“I don’t know. I’m just making sure,” I smiled.

“Knock, Knock,” Scooter said walking in the room. “You guys ready to talk about the fundraiser?” he asked sitting down.

I pulled Selena up sitting down and pulling her to sit on my lap.

“I was thinking we should have it this weekend. I know that that’s really short notice but the fan will go crazy,” he said.

“I see if we can get other artists there. I think we could really take this places. This is going to bring a lot of awareness and money.”

“We’re really doing this?” Selena smiled and I nodded happily.
