Chapter 14: It's Confusing.

Three days after my chat with Selena, I met Miley at the library after school. We were supposed to read "Romeo and Juliet" and dramatize it in front of the class. We were going to play different scenes but they had to be a sequence of the other one so we needed to work together. She was going to be Juliet just like me and Nick and Joe were going to be Romeo.

"Hey Dems!" Miley hugged me when I got to the library.

Every time I looked at her I couldn't stop thinking about the thing Selena told me. I felt like I was betraying Miley but at the same time I would betray Selena. Like I said before, I'm between a gun and a wall.

"So, have you thought about which scenes should we play?" she asked me.

"Not really, I've been a little distracted these days" I answered.

She looked at me and said with a little concern "Really? Why is that?".

"I can't tell you" I thought for myself.

"Jeez, I don't know. Probably I'm just a little overwhelmed because of school and the album thing. There are a lot of things in my mind now" I replied very careless about the topic.

"Oh well, I'm sure everything is going to be just fine" she tried to cheer me up and continued with her reading.

I was there in presence but in mind I was somewhere else. I couldn't stop thinking about the secret and then I remembered something important.

"Miles, aren't Joe and Nick supposed to be here rehearsing with us?" I asked her.

"Yes but he and Joe had soccer practice. Nick is going to my place for dinner and rehearsing later. Why don't you and Joe join us there?" she sounded excited.

"Uh, sure." I answered once again careless about the topic.

I knew something was wrong about the fact of Nick being at soccer practice but I couldn't remember what. After a few minutes of analyzing it I got the answer. I jumped of my chair and screamed "OH DEAR GOD!".

Miley got freaked out and asked "What the hell is wrong with you? What happened? Demi! DEMI!" she started questioning me because I didn't answer.

I couldn't believe what I just discovered. Nick at soccer practice on Wednesday. That day the soccer field is closed because of cleaning, and Selena, she told me she was going to go to the gym to practice with the cheerleaders after class. They were T O G E T H E R. Oh my Gosh. I didn't explain anything to Miley and I just grabbed my things and went to the gym. When I entered, I saw Selena with the cheerleader outfit chatting with Nick on the benches, a little too comfy. I was super mad and not because of Sel, because of Nick who was lying to Miley, my best friend.

Apparently my face was showing everything inside of me because everyone was looking at me in some weird way. I was walking with strong steps so he could see me. I got where both of them were and I confronted him specially.

"Nick can I talk with you for a second?" I gave him an intense look.

He looked scared, "Okay."

Looking at Selena, "Hang on a second, I'll be right back".

Selena smiled and gave me a "go away" look and replied "Okay baby".

Nick smiled and I just pulled him by his hand.

"What the hell are you doing?" I questioned him.

"Well, as far as I know I'm just talking to Selena" he said careless.

"I can't believe what you are doing and you know what? I'm not letting this happen" I sounded so secure of myself.

"Demi, you are seeing something where is not. We're friends and you can't decide to blow up my relationship with Miley because of some crazy thoughts you may have!" he affirmed.

I was so mad that I wanted to punch him in the face and just run.

"FINE. I won't tell her anything but if I see something else between Selena and you, I swear to God that I will tell her" I told him and left.

I think he said something but I didn't stay to hear his lies.

While I was walking home I started to think about everything. I mean, I know what I saw and Selena's secret was another big issue I had in my mind. I'm so confused. I have too many thoughts about Miley, Selena and Nick and their love triangle. I am frustrated about what I need to do. I can't tell Miley because I will be betraying Selena and about Nick, I wasn't a hundred percent sure about he liking Sel more than a friend. I just can't handle this, I have to do something, NOW.

When I got to my house I sat in my bed and my thoughts were just all over the room. I didn't want to remember or think of everything, try to understand or to decide what I was supposed to do. I sure needed an advice, then I heard my mom in the kitchen so I went downstairs.

"Hey mom" i greeted her.

"Hi Demi, how are you?" she asked while she was preparing a sandwich.

"I'm.. confused." i replied with a slow voice.

"Why? What's the matter sweetie?" she asked really concerned.

I told her everything about the BIGGEST PROBLEM I'VE HAD IN THE WORLD.

She just stared at me and said "teenagers." I burst into a laugh while she continued "honey, you really don't have to mess with other people's issues even worse if it is romance and friendship between them.." she started.

"but mom i mean, she's my best friend and well.." she didn't let me finish.

"yes honey, i know she's your best friend but this is none of your business. First of all, you were in the wrong place and at the wrong time, it's such a hard situation for you now. All I can tell you is wait to see what is really happening between Nick and Selena and if it's not your imagination and you see something going on then tell Miley and see how you can fix that problem but don't worry that much honey, everything is going to be alright" she comforted me.

"Thanks mom, now I feel better" i told her from the bottom of my heart.

All I could do was wait and see what was gonna happen.
