A/N: Sorry this update took so long. I've had writers block big time and I haven't been quite as into this story. Anyway, thank you so much for reading and reviewing. Hope you enjoy the next chapter.

Demi assumed after her confrontation with Justin, he would go away. That wasn't the case. After her parents had met with the principle, she was allowed to return after a week long suspension instead of two. The basketball coach also decided to allow her to continue to play. She was very unpleasantly surprised when Joe and Gunner brought up the fact that Justin was all over Selena constantly.

"What the fuck are you guys talking about?" Demi said, irritated.

"He has been following her around school all week dude." Gunner said.

"Hasn't Selena said anything?" Joe asked raising an eyebrow.

"No. She didn't." Demi muttered.

"Damn dude. That's some scandalous ass shit." Gunner said crossing his arms.

"Ok. Enough. Selena is not scandalous." Demi snapped at the two boys.

"Chill the fuck out Dem! We are just telling you what we've seen going on since you were suspended. It seems a bit odd. I'm a bit weirded out by the fact that she hasn't told you about it." Joe snapped back.

"Joe, I swear to god, if you talk to me like that again I'm gonna smack those fucking caterpillars right off your forehead." Demi responded, her tone low and menacing.

Gunner started laughing. "Bro, you got some seriously bushy eyebrows."

"Fuck you both." He mumbled. "Fine. Whatever." He added rolling his eyes at Demi. "When this shit comes back to bite you in the ass, don't even say shit to me about it. I tried." He said, before stuffing his hands in his pockets and walking away.

"What crawled up his ass?" Gunner asked as he watched his freind storm off.

"Who fucking knows." Demi answered, as she walked off leaving Gunner standing there alone.

Demi spent the rest of the morning in a bad mood. She wanted to text Selena but decided it would be better if she spoke to her in person. The longer she thought about the situation, the more pissed off she became. Selena hadn't even bothered texting her once this morning. Sure, maybe she was busy in class but she always at least sent her something. Maybe she's hanging with Justin, Demi thought frowning.

"Hey." She heard Miley say as she slid into the seat next to hers.

"Hey Miles." She responded unenthusiastically.

"Really? You could at least pretent to be happy to see me." Miley drawled.

Demi sighed. "I'm just having a shitty day. Sorry." She mumbled.

"You look like you got a case of the my hot ass girlfriend is spending time with her gay ass ex boyfriend and not telling me about it's." She said with a smirk.

"Dude! Am I seriously like the last person to find out about this? This is such bullshit!" Demi said as she slammed her math book closed and left class. She stormed throught the halls. Once she reached her locker, she yanked the door open and threw her school books inside. She knew she was letting her anger get the best of her. She was so tired of Justin and his bullshit. Before she could escape the hallway and get some fresh air, she heard the bell ring. Fuck, she thought. She navigated through the sea of people hoping she could make it out before anyone who actually cared spotted her. He wasn't so lucky. She scowled as Selena spotted her and headed her way. Instead of returning Selena's smile, dhe walked right by her without uttering a single word. Selena was stunned.

"Demi!" She called out, trying to catch up to the tattooed girl. She frowned when she realized that Demi wasn't going to respond or stop. She watched as the brunette dissappeared through the front doors. Selena was confused. She could tell that Demi was upset as she walked by. Her face and body language said more than words ever could.

"What the fuck was that all a about?" Matt asked as he walked up to his confused friend.

"I have no idea." Selena said softly.

As he looked at the raven haired girl, he could tell she was trying her hardest not to cry. "I'll talk to her." He said as he ran out the door after his sister.

"Demi!" He called out to her back as he caught up to her.

"What?" She snapped as she continued walking.

"Would you stop please?"

"No. You can walk."

"Dem! Fuckin stop!" He yelled at his sister.

"What Matt?" She said back very loudly as she came to an abrupt stop. "What!?" She repeated.

"What's your fuckin problem?" He asked.

"You. You're my fuckin problem. Joe. Gunner. Miley. Selena." She spat. "All of you seem to be aware of Selena and her new best buddy Justin."

"Oh shit..." He trailed off.

"Yeah. Oh shit." She said a she turned and walked away.

"Dem! Wait! It's not what you think!" He called out to her as he chased her.

"I really don't give a fuck anymore Matt. I'm tired of this shit. I don't have time and its just not worth it anyway. We graduate soon. Lets be honest, high school relationships don't fucking last. I'm done."

"You're so full of shit. You're such a dick Demi. I knew you'd do this."

"Do what? Let Selena fuck with my head? You're a dick Matt."

"That's right Dem. Typical. If you can't punch it in the face you run like a little bitch. Good luck with that." He stated as he let her walk away.

She simply responded by sticking her middle finger in the air as she walked to her truck and left school. Matt knew shit was about to hit the fan. He immediately ran back to Selena.

"Sel, we have a problem." He stated. "Demi found out about Justin."

"What?! How?!" The clearly stressed girl asked her voice higher than normal.

"I'm assuming the fucking rumor mill."

"So she thinks..."

"Yup. He interrupted."

"What do I do?" She asked as she stepped into her friends arms.

"Tell her what's going on. Hopefully she will listen." Matt stated. "We should probably let her chill a bit. Our conversation was not very pleasant." He added.

"You saved all the texts right?" He asked her.

"Yes."

"Good."

"You know she's going to kill him. She's going to lose everything she has worked so hard for."

"We will just have to put her in a position where she can't do anything."

"Like what?"

"Joe is throwing a party, we will get Nick to get her to come. She won't come if any of us ask and we will explain everything there. We will wait until she's drunk. It's easier to handle her outbursts when she's drunk."

"This plan sounds terrible."

"It's all we got. She's gonna leave you Sel, if we don't tell her."

"I know. I just feel like I'll lose her either way." She whispered.

"You won't. I'll knock her out if I have to."

"Ok." She smiled weakly. "She going to mad about us keeping this from her."

"She will understand." Matt assured her.

Selena sighed as she walked to her next class. Justin had started stalking her. Her skin crawled as she remembered the way he pushed his body against hers when he followed her into the bathroom. If it wasn't for Matt, it would have probably went further. To make matters worse, several people saw both Justin and Matt exit the restroom before her. She's surprised that Demi didn't catch wind of that particular rumor. Since then, Justin's been threatening to tell Demi that they had sex. He was contantly texting her and sitting with her every chance he got. She didn't know what to do. She didn't tell Demi, because she knew if he found out the way he touched her, she'd kill him. She had already gotten in enough trouble this year. She didn't have any more room for another outburst. She'd be expelled and she'd probably lose her scholarship for college. Selena didn't want that. Maybe I should just let her break up with me, Selena thought. At least that way I know that she wouldn't sacrifice her future to try and protect me. She quickly wiped away a tear as she realized what she had to do.
