They all said, "'Cause we all know how just friends ends". Did they ever think about what would happen to the other girl? The other girl who'd get her heartbroken over and over? Hi, I'm Selena, and this is my story.
The pain burning my eyes was almost unbearable, but the tears wouldn't stop. I felt like a waterfall, and waterfalls just keep going, they never stop. Saneness, I wish I had some. Wasting precious time, I wasted it over him. The boy I gave not only my heart, but my life too. There wasn't a day I didn't stop thinking about him, not a moment my heart didn't dribble when he said my name. It never stopped,
My love for him never stopped.
But, he didn't care. He only had eyes for her, even when we were together, it was her. Before, during and after me, it was, is, and will be, her.
Just as I was about to double-over,
and start a whole new round of tears, I heard my door hatch open.
"Selena…" I heard my best friend say, "Sweetie." She
acknowledged me, and knew I was crying, she only called me sweetie
when I was crying.
I looked up to her brown eyes, filled with only sympathy, and pity. She knew. They all knew. I was heartbroken, while he was in love. Does that seem fair? It sure didn't to me. And now I knew how she felt. After the huge "Niley" break-up, it had seemed like Miley's world had ended. Not really ended. Just, everyone in MileyLand, had moved on; but she was stuck there, facing the world. She went through it, she lost the most amazing guy in the world, and she kept fighting. How? I understand that she and I both have careers we have to keep up with. We both have friends, and family who care about us. We both have fans that would back us up in a second.
But, how?
My lips quivered, and the words just wouldn't escape my mouth. I'm fine. That's all I had to say to her, and she would ignore the subject completely. I'm fine. I'm fine. Just say it Selena! I couldn't. Not only because I wasn't fine, but because I wanted to yell to thin air, explaining how he did it, I wanted to do the stupid hand gestures he would use, to tell me why we didn't belong.
I wanted to be a baby. Miley was, it's how she got over him. Well, it was my turn.
I called Demi over with my index finger, and moved over on my lavender bed; patting the space next to me, which was only semi-wet from my tears. She sat awkwardly, not knowing whether to hug me, or just be nonchalant about things, and talk about something random.
"So, he dumped me." I muttered; she seemed to feel even more uncomfortable. This was weird, she was my best friend. She was behaving vagrant. I thought her and my center was being with each other.
"Oh," was all she said. "Oh". That's it. She didn't speak. We sat in the silence for while my heart beat faster than the annoying fan was rotating.
I couldn't take the silence a
second more. "Say something." I pushed through gritted teeth.
She played her cards well, and knew she was going past boundary
lines, "I'm sorry." She hugged me tight.
"Dem," I moaned like a child, dragging her one syllable nick-name for three beats.
"What?" her voice sounded painfully rude. Was she sensitive to my emotions at all.
"Where's my best friend? Isn't this the part where you tell me he's an asshole, and we talk about his imperfections for a good three hours?" I felt forlorn; deserted. If I didn't have my best friend, and not even the justice of a steady boyfriend, what did I have?
"What do you want me to do?" she said without looking at me. It wasn't an important conversation to her. Discussing the boy who broke my heart wasn't important to her.
I immediately jumped from my bed, the tears streaming down my face slightly faster.
"I WANT you to be my best friend!" I screamed at her. And saw the shock in her eyes; this was not my normal behavior; even in horrible situations like this. Worse situations too, "Why don't you care," I whispered, sounding desperate. "Why don't you care about me!"
She glared at me, and got up from her position on my bed in a very agile cat-like way.
"I do, Selena. But you don't care about Miley. You backstabbed her! You started dating Nick without even asking her if it was okay! That's not cool, Sel. I've been quiet about it. You dated for almost a year; I supported you. But what you did, was wrong. I've never seen you be so desperate, so flirty; so…bitchy."
My lips wouldn't move, they had lost all feeling. She had told me off. My best friend was taking her side; like he took her side. She was the innocent one, and I was seen as the bitch who had stolen her man, taken Nick away from his true love.
"Honestly Dem, I would never ha—" But I couldn't even say anything, I had no excuse.
"You would never have what? Selena, you didn't care about anyone but yourself, and you still don't. Can I tell you something? Taylor broke up with me. He's going off to shoot New Moon, and he says we need a break. But you don't care. You don't care about me. All you can think about is a scheme to get Nick back; that's what you're doing right now isn't it?" I thought she was finished, you know; give me a chance to talk? But she wasn't even close to being done.
"You expect me to be sad about him dumping you? I do feel empathy for you, really Selena, I do. But I can't say I didn't see it coming. I see how they look at each other. It's different with you and him. It always has been. And you knew that too; you told me you knew.
"But, you kept going for him. You tried so hard to convince me, Joe, Kevin, and everyone; you two were in love. You weren't Selena. You were jealous. She was bigger than you, more famous. So, you had to go after her sloppy seconds. I'm friends with her too, you know. We talk about things, and she tells me what your conversations were like. You used to be "All For Niley!". Was that just part of your plan? I love you Selena, we've been friends for a long time. But until you change, change how you treat other people, change how you treat me, him, and her, then we can't be as close as we used to. Stop being a fame-whore Selena. Not all attention has to be on you all the time." And with that, she turned away from me, and walked out of my room.
My mind was bursting like I was crazy; a lunatic. What had just happened? Did I miss something?
I was missing something. I needed to apologize, and fast; but to who?
I knew. I knew who; Miley Ray Stewart.
The girl I've been jealous of since 2006; the girl who was living my life.

HEYY! Okay, so I'm like, really
sorry it's been so long! But, yes, this IS a new story! It's
called: My Side. And I'm completely in love with the plot! Yes,
this is Selena support. And Miley and Demi are going to seem a little
like the bad guys in the first few chapters. Sorry, it's just how
it goes. No, I don't like Selena as much as I like Miley or Demi,
but I felt like every Niley fan was thinking of her as the bad guy.
We all got too caught up in getting Niley back together, we forgot
about how Selena might've gotten hurt. This is VERY loose, and some
situations in the story will have happened in real life, but most of
it will be out of my imagination, for example: Demi and Taylor
dating. You'll understand later. Okay, well, 10-15 reviews please?!
THANKSS! (:
