"Selena! Get up and go get Demi! You have twenty minutes to get ready!" My mom yelled from downstairs.

"Urgghhh." I groaned and rolled out of bed, onto the floor. I landed with a thud. "Ouch." I groaned again. I gathered all of my energy and shouted to my mom, "I have just severely injured myself! If you are a good parent, and care about my well being, you will tell me to go back to bed!"

"Selena, suck it up!"

Wow, great parenting mom.

"You are, like, the most amazing mother in the world!" I shouted sarcastically.

"I know, sweetie. I know."

I rolled my eyes as i pushed myself off of the ground and into the shower. I hesitantly turned the water on cold, and sqeaked as it hit my body. It was freezing, but it woke me up. I washed my hair and soaped up with my lavender body wash.

I got out, put on my bathrobe and walked over to my closet. I picked out black stockings, a purple mini skirt, a white blouse and a grey coat. I pulled my hair into a loose ponytail and let the shorter layers fall forward and only put on some lip gloss and mascara; no one was going to catch me on camera today.

I picked up my black Coach bag, and my blackberry and headed down the stairs. I went to the shoe closet by the front door and pulled on some black heels; they were designer, but i didn't really pay attention to that when it came to shoes.

I grabbed my keys off the rack and opened the door. As soon as i was fully exposed, i was blasted by the cold air. I smiled and whispered "Its Christmas" before quickly walking to my car.

I got in, turned on the heaters and got out my phone.

Hey Dems. On my way now. Cant wait to see you!

Send.

I drove for thirty minutes before arriving at the airport and got a good spot- close to the entrance. I got out and practically sprinted to the doors; I couldn't wait to see my best friend.

As soon as i got inside i saw her, standing there, holding a sign that said I belong to Selena Gomez. I laughed and ran towards her.

"Demetria!" I sang.

"Selena!" She sang back.

I wrapped her in a warm hug. "How you been guurrll?"

She laughed "The same as i was four days ago, when you saw me."

I wiped a fake tear. "To me, it's like an eternity."

She laughed harder, "You're such a loser!"

"I know, but im your loser." I said as i smiled my biggest smile.

"Of course you are, now take me to your home."

"Okie Dokie." We had decided that Demi would stay with me and my mom, until her parents came, which was about four days later.

Once we were in the car she turned to me. "What are you going to do about tonight?"

I sighed. "Dems, I have no idea."

(***)

"Wear the turquoise top!" Demi shouted from my closet.

I was lying on my bed, on my phone, texting Joe. "Okay." I shouted back.

Buzz

You have one new message from... Joey! (the coolest)

Haha, yeah, i remember! Good times. Anyway, come to Phillipe Chows 8. Kay?

I had been texting Joe for the last few days, before Demi had arrived; there wasn't really much else to do, and my old friends were out of town until right before Christmas.

Throughout the whole time Joe and i had been texting back and forth, he never once mentioned Nick, and for that i was grateful.

Reply

Sure Joe. See you then. (:

I put down my phone and walked over to Demi. "What are you going to wear?"

"Oh, i have my silver top with me."

"Kay, cool. So we need to start getting ready, like now, because we have to be there at eight."

"Oh shit, Sel! We should have started like an hour ago!"

I rolled my eyes at her. "Just get ready."

(***)

An hour and alot of preparation later, we were downstairs ready to go and we had about ten minutes to get to the restaurant. I grabbed the keys to my baby and we made our way outside.

"Tonight is going to be super awkward." Demi said, on the way there.

"Thanks for reminding me, Dems."

"Okay, Sel. Remember. Joe and Kevin. Friends. Got it?"

"Got it." I mumbled as we pulled into a parking space.

We walked towards the entrance, heels clacking as we went.

I sighed as we reached the doors. "Here goes nothing."

I was about to walk in when Demi put her hand out, blocking my way. "W-w-w-w-wait." She rushed out.

I raised an eyebrow, "Yes?"

"Tonight, you should fix things between you and Nick."

"Demi! I cant fix a 9 month long thing between me and Nick in one night!" I said, exasperated.

"At least try!" She whined.

I crossed my arms and rolled my eyes; sometimes she could be such a child. "Okay, fine Demi. Lets just get this over with."

I pushed open the door and walked up to the woman at the reservation table, "Hi, we are here with Jonas."

"Oh, um, im sorry, um, i am going to have to ask you your name." She said, looking extremely shy and scared. It was normal for them to need a name for people asking for the Jonas brothers, so i didn't really mind. "So, can i have your names?"

I smiled encouragingly at her, hoping to put her at ease. "Of course, Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato."

Her face filled with recognition and embarrassment at the same time. "Oh! Um, im so sorry, Miss Gomez! I should have recognized you earlier! Oh gosh..."

"No, no, no. Its alright. Dont worry about it. Have the boys already arrived?"

"Um, yes. Right this way, Miss Gomez and Miss Lovato." She said as she turned around. Demi and I followed her to a table at the back, and we saw the boys waiting. Only, it wasn't all three of them. I sighed as we walked over to them, disappointed.

They stood up, and gave us both kisses on the cheek before we sat down.

Demi smiled at them, "So guys, long time no see."

Joe grinned, "Yeah, how you been Dems?"

"Good, but before we get into that, why isn't Kevin here?"

Nick laughed, "He got forced into last minute wedding details, so he couldn't make it. But he said that he will see you soon, and you can meet Danielle."

Even though i was upset that it wasn't Nick that had decided to skip out on dinner, i was going to be good, and try to make things right. "Aw, I cant wait to meet her. I still cant belive Kev is getting married!"

"I know. They are going to be so happy together." Joe said, with a smile on his face.

I loved the brothers for lots of reasons, mostly because they were just so genuine, all the time. Even when Nick broke up with me, I still couldn't bring myself to belive he was a bad guy.

The waitress came and we all took turns ordering. After she left, Nick turned to me. "So Sel, hows the music going?"

I looked into his eyes and smiled. At that moment, i realised how much i missed him. I missed him kissing my forehead, holding my hand and hugging me close. I missed his smile, his smell and his laugh.

I miss nick.

"Sel?" Nick spoke again, snapping me out of my little bubble, and back into the real world.

"Oh, um, sorry." Selena, he dumped you, remember? Just stop it. "Yeah, the music is good, and the album has been doing well. My live performances haven't been so good; ive been sick and it affected my voice alot. But the fans have been really supportive." I smiled.

"Sounds great, Sel." Joe said.

We all talked together, not really going into anything personal. We had just finished eating when Demi's phone went off.

"Sorry guys." She said as she pulled it out. She read whatever it was for a few seconds, "Oh, gosh. Guys, i have to go. Joe, can you take me?" Her eyes were pleading.

Joe looked surprised, but was willing. "Sure, Dems. Nick, you can take care of the bill, right?"

Nick nodded, "Yeah. Sure, man." Demi and I were used to the guys paying for us; it had been going on so long, that we stopped insisting on paying. It was a waste of breath anyway; they wouldn't dream of making us pay for dinner.

"Kay, come on, Joe." Demi said as she got up.

There was definitely something going on between her and Joe. I made a mental note to ask her when we got home.

But, as they walked away from our table, i realised what was really going on. Demi was leaving me. Alone. With Nick. Oh no.
