I could hear Selena sniffle after I told her why my mom hasn't been around. So I just went back to stroking her hair. We didn't speak, and as time past I could feel her drifting off into slumber. I would be tired from all that crying too. It took so much for me not to cry at the sight of her tears.

I tore my eyes away from the top of Selena's head and saw Holly standing in the doorway with tears in her eyes. Why is every girl around me crying? She heard didn't she? ..Neither one of us said a word to the other while a few moments past us by. Holly just put her hands up like she was driving a car then pointed to Selena who was falling asleep on my chest, then drew a box in the air with her fingers. She was telling me she had to take Selena home soon, luckily I understood Holly's fairly bad attempt of sign language. The last place I want Selena to be is at home but if she doesn't go it'll be worse. I shook my head 'no' and nodded towards my keys on the side table. Holly didn't seem to understand and put her hands on her hips and pointed to her leg. She was obviously trying to tell me there was no way I could drive. She was right I can't and I won't. I again shook my head no and mouthed 'not me'. Then nodded my head in Selena's direction. Holly's face practically lit up. She understood and waved a goodbye with a bright smile, then brought her hand up near her face and signaled for me to call her later. I'm going to have to tell Kendra soon cause she'll kill me if she finds out from someone else that I like a girl enough to let her take my car.

Selena let out a soft snore which pulled my attention back to her. She must have finally fallen asleep. She looks like an angel laying there. Too bad I'll have to wake her up around five so she gets home on time.

I'm seriously gonna hurt that her dad when I get the chance.

…..

It was almost five so now would be a good time to wake her up. "Selena." I patted her back but she didn't wake. So I went for a different approach and put my mouth close to her ear. "Come on gorgeous wake up." She stirred a bit and snuggled her head further into my chest. This is something I could definitely get used to.

I lightly scratched her scalp and she let out a soft moan before opening her eyes. She looked up at me and I saw panic in her beautiful brown eyes. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to fall asleep on you." she spat out as she rushed to get off me.

I knew I should've said something when she was getting off but seeing her worried about something she shouldn't be worried about was cute. "You don't have to be shy around me anymore. I actually wa-"

"Where's Holly? She was supposed to be here by now!" Selena said cutting me off. I was going to ask her out but now since she's freaking out I don't think it would go over well.

I reached over to the side table and retrieved my keys. "She came by earlier but you were asleep. I didn't want to wake you." I extended my hand to give her the keys to my car. "You can take my car for now. It's got a full tank."

Selena threw her hands up in protest. "No, I really can't. How would I explain a car to my parents?"

Damn baby stop being difficult. I raised an eyebrow at her. "You could always tell them it's your new girlfriends car." I said with a wink.

"Demi."

"What?"

"Really. You really want me to say that?" Yes. Well no. "Wait. What makes you think I'd date you in the first place?" Cause I'm awesome.

"Cause I'm awesome." And I love you. "and I lo- lo love the way you dress." aw man that was dangerously close and now she's staring me down. I hope she didn't catch it. I can't believe I almost said that. I don't know what's gotten into me lately. "Are you going to take my keys or…"

"um.. Right." she grabbed the keys from my hands. "How do I explain the car?" That's a good question. I should've thought of that ahead of time. I chewed down on my bottom lip and scanned the room hoping to see something that would give me an idea. Nothing. Just think harder. That's all I just have to think. Saying it's any girls wouldn't work even if they were straight. Her dad seems like a control freak. Maybe a boy. But what boy. I need one that would actually cover for me.

I gasped. "Nick! Say it's your new boyfriend Nick's car." Yeah he's perfect.

Selena looked at me with confusion written all over her face. "..the nerd?" Why is she so confused? Yes Nick.

"Yea, Nerdy Nick. He's perfect. He's the only guy I can trust for this." It's pretty simple.

"Oh, I didn't know you guys were friends." and she's still confused.

"What? Do you think I'm that superficial?" I said with a giggle that soon died because she didn't say one word. "…Wow you do." again she said nothing. "Alright well. I think you need to get to know the real Demi Lovato… This weekend, me, you, Chinese food and a movie. What do you say?" I said with a smile and praying she wouldn't turn me down.

She stared hard down at the floor. "I don't know." now she's started to pick at her nails. That can't be a good habit to have.

I took a hold of her hands to stop her from picking her nails off of her own fingers. "Selena, Nick can be your cover. I can handle it and I'll make sure your safe." I tried to reassure her.

She stared at our hands. "Fine." then lifted her gaze to meet mine. "Just one date." she said waving her finger at me. Yea one, sure. I'll put that in my speech at our wedding.

…..

As soon as Selena left I picked up my cell phone and called Nick. Now I just hope when he gets here he'll agree to my plans.

"Hey Demi, check out what I brought." Nick said as he entered the room with a black bag slung over his shoulder. I call it a purse, he calls is a satchel. Whatever. He was dressed still as nerdy as ever but it's what made him, him.

"Hey Nick. What's in the bag?" I asked sitting my self up.

Nick walked over to the tv and changed the channel to input 1. "This is what's in the bag." He said pulling out his PS3. Thank god. I have been video game deprived. With basketball and all the time I've spent thinking about Selena, I haven't had any time to play games.

I watched as Nick plugged in all the wires and put in a disc. I wonder what we're gonna play. "Here." He said throwing me a headset and the opening scene played. Time for some Black Ops. Let the trash talking begin. I put on the headset and Nick handed me a controller. "You ready?"

I looked over at Nick who was now sitting next to me. This is so much better than any of the flowers that have been sent to my room. "Thanks for this."

"Are you kidding me? You haven't been online in weeks!" I laughed at Nick's dorkyness.

"Yea there's actually a reason for that." I put the controller down. "and I need to ask you a huge favor."

"Can it wait. The game is starting in 6..5..4.." He counted down with the clock.

"Ok. But, after this match I need to talk to you." Nick just nodded his head and the match started. Of course our team won. Nick is a beast at CoD. I'm good too but this guy is amazing. It's some crazy unnatural ability he has.

Once the match had finished I turned off the PS3 with the wireless controller I had in my hand. "Ok, so I need your help."

Nick turned to face me. "With what? You always seem to have everything under control."

I deeply sighed. I wish it was that simple this time. "Yeah but this is different." I ran my hand through my hair. "This girl is different."

"Whoa! Are you asking me for help with a girl!" Nick said shocked.

"No!.. it's just.. I don't need help to get the girl, I need help to keep her parents from finding out." I explained.

"Oh.. So what is it you need me for?"

"..pretend to be her boyfriend? Please?.." I said with a pleading smile. "I let her take my car and I kinda told her to say it's yours."

Nick adjusted his glasses. "You what?"

"Nick come on, please do this for me. I really like this girl." I begged.

"ok, ok who is she?"

"Selena."

His jaw dropped open. "Gomez?" I nodded my head slowly, not sure of why Nick was yelling. "You actually got a date with Selena Gomez?" again I just slowly nodded my head. "Demi, there's a whole slew of our peers that have attempted to date her." I'm beginning to feel doubted. First Selena thinks I'm some kind of social ass hole and now Nick thinks it's beneath me to get a date with Selena 'The Hotness' Gomez. "How'd you do it?"

"It's a little on the complicated side. Right now all you need to know is to keep your Saturday night free. Me and you will pick her up at six, you'll go to the door, she'll come out blah blah blah. And then I'll take you home and pick you back up so you can walk her to the door after our date like a good fake boyfriend." I said smiling. "Can you do that?"

"Miss Demetria Lovato." Shit its that crazy nurse again. "Come. We have to get you used to walking on the crutch. Levantarse." thank jesus she's speaking English. Whoa that rhymed in like a weird off kind of way.

"Uh.. Yea ok." I said to the nurse, standing up and placing the crutches under my arms. I turned back to Nick. "Thank you so much for doing this. I owe you big time."

"Na, what are friends for right? I can't count how many times you've helped me out." Nick said as he packed his things. Its true I have helped Nick out a lot but it was never anything this big. All I did was stop him from getting shoved in lockers or trash cans.

"Come. We walk around the hall." the nurse said waving for me to follow her out the door.
