{Later That Night}
"Hey Justin?" Demi questioned causing the nineteen year old to look up from his computer where he was currently working on a new song.
"Um yeah?"
"I uh um… never mind, it's none of my business."
Justin watched as Demi sighed and looked back out the window watching all the buildings and people that they passed by. He sat his computer down before making his way over to the window seat and sitting beside her. "What's up Demi?" He watched as she slowly shook her head and her eyes started to glisten, allowing him to know she was trying not to cry. "It's about Selena hu." He stated as he softly wrapped an arm around her shoulder not exactly sure what to do.
"She's just so different now."
Justin let out a small chuckle as he ran his free hand through his hair, "You have no idea just how different."
That caught Demi's attention quick. "What do you mean?" she questioned as she turned to look at him before quickly glancing at the back of the bus to make sure there was no sign of Selena even though she had retired to bed three hours ago, Demi just had to make sure.
"It means when I first met her, yea she was shattered and broken but she was still so sweet and caring and had hope. Then it just kind of changed. She turned into the total opposite. Instead of dealing with her problems and moving on from them, she took them all to her heart and buried them to the point where she doesn't allow herself to feel and trust. I don't think she even knows how to have any kind of emotion besides anger and hurt anymore."
"That doesn't sound like my Selena."
"That's because, that Selena is dead. But every now and then you'll get a glimpse of her but only when…. Um yeah I should just stop there."
"When what Justin? Please I know where not friends but I need to know."
"You'll find out soon Demi I'm sure 6 months is a long time to be away from each other so I'm sure they'll find a way to see each other and when that happens you'll see what I'm talking about."
"Who's he?"
Justin quickly shook his head before standing. "I'm sorry Demi I've already said to much, just know you'll find out sooner or later."
"What do you mean you've said to much?"
"Selena didn't want you to know any of this; she didn't want you to know that what happen with y'all and among some other things, how bad it affected her. She doesn't want anyone to know, the only ones that do know beside me and Miley is her manager and well someone else."
"Justin…"
"It's late, I'm going to bed; I'll see you in the morning Demi. Sweet dreams."
Demi watched as Justin disappeared into the back of the bus. She was beyond confused and had so many questions and no answers. But what she did know, was that one way or another she was going to help Selena, bring back the old her, the Selena that she loved. But what she didn't know was that someone was already doing just that.
…oOo…
Selena groaned as she felt herself slowly waking up as the bus came to stop. She sat up stretching her arms out as she let out a long, refreshing yawn and rubbed her eyes. She got out of her bunk and slowly made her way into the sitting area of the bus looking for Justin but only came to find Demi sitting at the table eating a bowl of cereal and writing. Selena cautiously made her way over to Demi and sat down in front of her without the camp rock star noticing. She watched as the pink hair beauty bit down at her bottom lip and tap her pen on the book as she always did when she was thinking. Selena smiled as she reached over taking Demi's bowl and taking a bite of the soggy cereal, earning the attention of the surprised yet confused pop star.
"I see that you still bite your lip when you're stuck on something." Selena stated as she took another bite of the cereal.
"And I see you still like stealing my food." Demi pointed out as she motion for Selena to give her, her food back.
Selena smiled as she dipped the spoon back into the bowl gathering up cereal and then looked over at Demi with that famous smile that melted everyone's heart, as she brought the spoon up to Demi's mouth. Demi raised her eyebrow searching the brunette's eyes for any kind of answer for her friendly behavior but found nothing. She slowly opened her mouth allowing Selena to feed her like old times. Selena smiled one last time as she brought the spoon out of Demi's mouth and gathered up herself a bit and looked into Demi's eyes as she slowly pulled the spoon out of her mouth seductively. She smirked as Demi looked down at her hands and softly chewing on her bottom lip as her cheeks turned a slight shade of pink.
"So what are you writing?" Selena questioned before taking another bite of the cereal.
Demi slowly looked up at Selena, finding herself studying her yet again for a few seconds before reaching and closing her book and setting it in her lap. "Um nothing."
"It's obviously something if it had you biting her lips, you always do that when you're working on something really important and get stuck." Selena stated as she sat the now empty bowl down and looked at Demi who just her eyes down on her book. "Come on, I know it's important. I know you."
Demi looked up at her for a split second before looking back down; she didn't understand what Selena was trying to get at. Just yesterday she was throwing herself on Justin when she got the chance and flirting with Dallas and being a bitch to her, what was she trying to do? Confuse her? Well it was working pretty well because Demi was confused as hell and she didn't like it. From what Justin said last night, this is not what she was expecting from Selena at all. She let out a small sigh before responding to Selena's statement. "You use to know me Selena." Demi spoke truthfully; Demi had changed a lot as well since that day.
Selena began to boil with hurt and anger at Demi's response as she stood up and looked down at Demi, with her fist balked up at her side as she tried to speak as calmly as possible, but the anger was evident and her voice, it sent a chill down Demi's neck. "Well you made damn sure of that didn't you Demetria?"
Demi looked up at the now furious Selena, her eyes filled with anger, pain, and hurt but mostly Demi saw just how broken Selena really was. Demi sighed and looked away trying to keep tears from coming; she had to keep it together. "I'm sorry Selena, I truly am."
"You're sorry?! Oh how thoughtful of you!" Selena spat angrily, her voice rising with each word she said until she was just out right screaming. "DO YOU THINK JUST A SIMPLE I'M SORRY COULD TAKE BACK WHAT YOU PUT ME THROUGH?!" Selena felt a pair of arms wrap around her waist and only then did she realized that she was right in Demi's face screaming at her as tears fell down both of their faces.
"Selena calm down, come let's take a walk and cool off. Come on." She heard Justin's voice as he pulled her away but all she saw was red as she kept kicking and screaming.
"I FUCKING HATE YOU DEMI! I WISH I HAVE NEVER MET YOU!" Selena screamed as Justin pulled her down the steps of the bus ignoring the looks that people where giving them. He turned her around in his arms and held her tight as she clung to him, crying into his neck.
"It's going to be okay Sel." He whispered into her ear as he ran his fingers through her hair.
…oOo…
Demi sat there as tears ran down her face while Selena's words ran through her mind. Her breathing became hard and uneven, she felt herself gasping for air but she didn't care all she wanted was for the pain to go away. She could feel that familiar itch coming on. She took off running to her bunk and searched through her things and sighed in relief when she finally found her phone. Quickly dialing the number as she slid down the wall she waited.
"Hello?"
She started to ball at the sound of the voice.
"N-nick, I need you."
…oO…
