Chapter 2: Life In A Glass House

"Do you have all of your stuff packed?" I heard the familiar voice of my mother ask, the sound echoing off of the overly white walls of my room. I grunted as I pulled at the zipper of my suitcase and finally forced it closed.

"Yep.. Lets get out of here" I replied happily as I grabbed my journal off my desk and then turned towards her. My eyebrows scrunched together in confusion as I saw that she wasn't alone.

"Need some help?" Selena asked with a little smile as she walked over and pulled my suitcase off of the bed. I couldn't help but to snort out a laugh as it quickly dropped to the floor with a thud.

"Yeah.. You might want to give that one to my dad" I answered with another little chuckle as a blush covered her cheeks. "What are you doing here anyways?" I questioned with a quirk of my eyebrow.

"I told you I'd be here didn't I?" She replied as I handed her one of my smaller bags. My stomach fluttered nervously as my hand brushed against hers and I quickly tried to shake the feeling.

"You did.." I trailed off. I was about to say I didn't believe you, but I thought better of it. "I just thought you meant once I got home" I said instead.

"Oh.. Umm.." She mumbled with a nervous smile. "Did you not want me to come?" She asked as we started walking down the hall towards the main entrance.

"No.. Its fine that you did" I answered back with a little smile. "You surprised me" I finished as I opened the door and let her walk through first. She smiled at me as she walked past, and I had to will those stupid butterflies away again. Why does she have to affect me so much?

"Good surprise or bad surprise?" She asked with an unsure look on her face. I waited until we had both climbed into the back seat of my parent's car before looking over at her with a little smile.

"You're always a good surprise" I answered back truthfully. I watched as her face lit up and she gave me one of her big smiles. I really missed seeing that smile.

I grabbed my iPod out of my purse and quickly slipped my ear buds in to avoid having to talk anymore. Its not that I didn't want to talk to her because I did.. I really did. That was the problem. I was letting her get to me already..


To say that the ride home was tense would be an understatement, I could practically feel Selena's eyes boring into the side of my head the whole time. Just because she's ready to jump back to the way things were doesn't mean that I am.

So I was more than a little excited by the time we finally got to my house, and I all but bailed out of the still somewhat moving vehicle. I'll probably get bitched at for that one later, but at this time I could really care less. I let out a little grunt as I threw my bag down and flopped onto my bed.

"Your mom is pretty pissed right now" I heard Selena's angelic voice ring out through my room. I sighed and turned over onto my back as she sat down on the edge of my bed.

"I was just happy to be home.. You have no idea what that place was like" I lied as I sat up and scooted over to sit next to her. I felt her tense up a little beside me. "I'm not gonna try to molest you.. I promise" I said with a little roll of my eyes as I quickly scooted back away from her.

"I.. I didn't think.." She stuttered out as a blush made its way to her cheeks. I sighed and ran my hand through my hair lightly. "I'm just not used to being around you anymore.. You've changed" She finished slowly, bringing her eyes up to meet mine.

"Yeah I have.. I guess I have you to thank for that" I blurted out unceremoniously. I watched as Selena flinched a little. "I'm sorry.. I didn't mean to say that" I mumbled out as a feeling of guilt washed over me.

"No.. I kinda deserved it" She replied with a little sigh. I scratched my head nervously as I realized we were actually going to have to talk about all of our issues.

"Why did you leave?" I asked after clearing my throat. "I mean.. was the thought of me being bisexual so bad that we couldn't even be friends?" I finished, trying not to to get angry as I thought about the way she left me when I told her.

"Of course not.. I just.." She trailed off with a sigh. "That wasn't the part that scared me.. You know that" She said making me break eye contact. I picked at the blanket nervously.

"It didn't mean anything.." I mumbled out quietly. I didn't even have to look up to notice that she had tensed up again.

"What?" She questioned, the hurt obvious in her voice. I gulped nervously and then looked up at her.

"I mean.. It was just one little kiss" I replied slowly. "Its not like it meant anything.. I was just confused" I lied, keeping my eyes focused on the bed. I knew if I looked up she would be able to tell right away.

"A kiss always means something.." She whispered making me lift my eyes up to meet hers. Guilt washed over me once again as I noticed the unshed tears swimming in her eyes. "I know it did to me.. That's what scared me" She fidgeted with her hands nervously.

"So.. It meant so much that you just left?" I inquired, trying to keep my tone of voice from coming across as accusing. I think I failed miserably though as I watched her face fall with each word.

"I didn't know how to react.. I didn't know how to deal with the feelings that I was having" She answered quietly. "By the time I figured things out.. It was too late.. You didn't pick up" She finished, standing from the bed to lean against my dresser.

"It wasn't too late.." I assured her sadly. "I was hurt.. And I just wanted you to hurt too" I sighed loudly and felt guilty for trying to put all of the blame on Selena. We both had made mistakes where the other was concerned.

"I was hurting Demi.. More than you'll ever know" She replied softly. I let out a long breath and nodded my head. Deep down I had known all along that she was probably feeling the same as I was.

"So where does that leave us?" I asked before looking up to meet her eyes. I saw her shoulders shrug before she replied.

"Friends?" She asked in an unsure voice. I smiled a little and nodded my head at her. "With potential?" She finished making the small smile slip from my face as I thought about all the pain that she had put me through the last time.

"Why don't we focus on the friend part for now.. I'm not sure I'm quite ready for the rest" I answered her questioning stare. The bed dipped down as she sat down next to me and reached out to hold my hand. I took a shaky breath in as I looked down at our hands.

"I think we can handle that" Selena said with a little smile that I couldn't help but return. "Wanna have a sleep over friend?" She ended with a little chuckle.


"Dammit" I growled to myself as the hair band I was trying to put my hair up with snapped in two. I rolled my eyes in annoyance as I threw the useless band into the trash before sitting down on the bed and running my fingers through my hair.

"I like your hair that color" Selena commented as I heard the bathroom door swing open. I glanced over out of the corner of my eye and noticed something that made those stupid butterflies start going crazy. Selena was standing in my bathroom.. In a pair of booty shorts and a tank top.

"Umm.. Uh.. Thanks" I stuttered out as I ran my eyes over her body unashamedly. Luckily she was looking in the mirror now and not paying attention to the eye undressing that I was currently giving her. She has definitely changed her pajama choice since our last sleepover.

"So what movie do you wanna watch?" She asked excitedly as she bounced onto the bed snapping me out of my little trance. I looked over to find Selena giving me an amused look. I hope she doesn't know I was just checking her out.

"Uh.. You can pick" I replied shakily as I tried to get my mind to focus. I heard Selena chuckle as she climbed out of the bed and bent down to look at the DVDs. My eyes widened as they focused directly on her ass.. This was definitely not helping the situation.

"How about She's Out Of My League?" She asked glancing over her shoulder at me. I gulped as my eyes snapped to hers. "Are you checking out my ass?" She asked with a little chuckle making my face heat up in embarrassment.

"She's Out Of My League is fine with me" I replied nervously, ignoring her last question completely. Selena smirked at me knowingly before dropping it as she put the DVD in to play.

I tried to busy myself by climbing under the covers and getting comfortable as Selena flipped the lights off. I kept my eyes strictly focused on the TV as the bed dipped down next to me and Selena slipped under the covers too.

"Dems" I heard Selena whisper after a few minutes of watching the movie. I tore my attention away from the movie and glanced over at her.

"Hmm?" I raised my eyebrow in question.

"Do you think we could cuddle? ..You know.. Like we used to?" She asked quietly making my stomach flutter nervously. I really don't know if I can control myself if she's that close.

"Uh.. Yeah.. Okay" I replied, my voice wavering slightly as I opened my arms. I saw a little grin form on her face as she scooted her body closer to mine and wrapped her arm over my waist. I sighed and closed my eyes as she laid her head on my shoulder and turned her attention back to the movie.

"I've missed this" She whispered, her breath ghosting over the skin of my neck making me shiver slightly. I really hope she didn't notice that.

"Me too" I replied quietly before bringing my hand up to play with her hair. I tensed up a little as she slowly slid her leg across my thigh and then let it rest there.

"Mmmm.. You're comfy" She sighed out before nuzzling her nose against my neck lightly. It took every ounce of will that I had to keep myself from shivering again. I cleared my throat nervously and shifted a little before letting my hand rest on her lower back.

I felt the breath on the side of my neck start to even out as Selena fell asleep. I closed my eyes and tried to clear my mind, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't keep my thoughts away from the beautiful girl who was sleeping soundly in my arms. The same girl who I had been in love with for most of my life. The same girl who broke my heart..
