Thanks for all the reviews guys, they really mean a lot. This chapter is a lot more focused on Jennel and Selena, so is the next chapter. I think that by the next chapter Demi will be more involved, idk yet. Just know there is a lot of drama.

I'm thinking of writing a new story, not sure where I wanna go with it yet.

Suefanficlover: Here's the next chapter, I hope you enjoy it(:

Demenaforever13: I don't hate Wilmer, I just like him and Demi together. Selena and Demi were made for each other.

LovezObsessed: Lol you're right, there's already too much conflict, but I just added more.

Manhattanpizza: Of course Demi and Selena will be together in the end!

Aperson3: Thanks for going back and reading it. Hope you like this chapter.


Jennel's Pov

"Hey, how'd it go?" I don't know why I did it, but I just needed someone to comfort me. So I hugged her, tight. She wasn't Demi, but I won't see her till later on, and I needed this now.

I felt her wrap her arms around me. She rubbed my back and pulled me into her even more.

"You're gonna be okay."


I wasn't sure where she was taking me, but I didn't really mind. It was actually relaxing. We sat in silence, but it wasn't awkward. I could tell she had a lot on her mind. And that worries me.

I don't get what she has to say to me. I can't get it through my head why my girlfriend's best friend,who she has stopped talking to, wants to talk to me.

"Where are we going?" I finally break the silence.

"A coffee shop. I mean if that's okay?"

"Yeah it's fine. Thanks for, this."

"You don't need to thank me. I should be thanking you for giving me the opportunity to be able to talk to you."


"I'm in heaven. This doughnut is perfection." I take another bite and let my taste buds experience the chocolaty goodness once more.

"Wight? Twis ish dwefintly the best donwuts I've ever had." I don't say anything, I just stare at her, and she looks back at me. We both break out into a fit of laughter, causing some old lady to hush us.

She swallows the mouthful of doughnut she had and we continue laughing a bit more. Now that that's out of the way, I hope we can get down to business.

"Demi told you everything right?" It's like she read my mind just now, maybe she just wants to get it over with.

"I hope she did. You're scared of telling her something? "

"Does it really seem that simple?" She asks me, and I don't know how to respond.

"I don't know. That's how it seems, but obviously to you it isn't that simple because you haven't been able to tell Demi. I think you should though, because no relationship should have secrets."

"I wanna tell her. I've wanted to tell her for years, but I just can't. It would change our friendship. I don't wanna lose her."

"But you're gonna lose her if you keep things from her." I think I might have struck a chord with that; she's tearing up.

"I'm sorry Selena, did I say something?"

"N-no. Just, Demi." She couldn't speak properly.

"You're gonna be okay." I repeat the words she had said to me earlier, hoping they would have the same affect on her.

Fortunately they did because she smiled at me. I watched her as she took a deep breath before speaking up again.

"She said that to me. That I'm gonna lose her if I keep things from her. I just don't know anymore. I want to tell her, but I could lose her if do. Either way I'll lose her in the end."

"And what if she doesn't leave you? What if she doesn't change? Demi's been through so much, she's in no position to judge, and you know that she wouldn't."

"I know, and I kinda need your help."

"My help?"

"Yeah. I don't wanna lose Demi, and I thought you could help me. I don't know if you could maybe convince her or something?"

"Why should I? I can't force Demi to be friends with you."

"I'm not saying that, like just make her be not so hard towards me. She texted me earlier today, she was in a good mood. We were joking around like nothing happened, but I know she won't let it go that easily."

I guess I get what she's saying, and I'll help her, but only because I want Demi to be happy.

"Okay. I'll see what I can do." She smiles at me, but blushes once her phone goes off.

I look at her, and smile. I automatically think of the time Spongebob found out Squidward likes Krabby Patties. She looks back at me and smiles. She's just, she's something else.

"Is it bad that I wanna laugh right now?" She shakes her head at my question and starts giggling.

"You know, that's her ringtone whenever you text or call her. You guys are so cliche."

"Are you serious? I didn't think she would have that as her ringtone." Her phone goes off again, playing One And The Same once more. They are so meant to be friends.


"So am I taking you to Demi's?" Things had been quiet between us after we walked out of the coffee shop. It wasn't awkward, we had been talking a lot actually, but as soon as we left the shop, the talking stopped.

I could tell she was thinking about something, it's like she wasn't even there, she was basically lost on her own little world.

"Yeah, please?"

"No prob. I hope this won't be the last time we go out."

"Of course not." I smile at her, and she smiles back.

Again, we fall into another silence.

I wanna talk to her, I have so many things I wanna ask her, I have so many questions that I'm pretty sure she has the answer to.

I know something's bothering her, she's kinda easy to read. Her walls aren't put up all the way. But what would I even say? I don't want her to close me out like she's done to Demi, I wanna actually get somewhere with our conversation.

"Selena, I, well. Um." She turns to face me, but makes sure to pay attention to the road.

"What's wrong?" I blurt out, causing her to sigh.

"Just a lot on my mind."

"No shit. Seriously Selena, what's wrong? It's not good to keep everything in. I know you wanna talk about it."

"I can't."

"You can't or you won't? Look I have nothing against you, I respect you and whatever you say stays between us. Demi doesn't even know I'm with you, hell she doesn't even know I'm back in LA. I lied and told her I'd be back tomorrow."

"I like Demi, and I think I always have. There you happy!" She screamed and slammed the steering wheel, making the horn go off.

"What?"

"I like Demi okay? You have nothing to worry about because I wouldn't dream of getting in the way of your relationship. That's why I left Demi. That's always been the reason for our fall outs, because I like her more than a friend!" Her screams turned to sobs.

We had just arrived at Demi's apartment. I decided to stay quiet until she parked.

She didn't face me, her face was in her hands as she sobbed. I took of my seat beat and hugged her tight. I was surprised when I felt her hands wrap around me. She rested her head on my shoulder and continued to cry.

"It's okay Sel, just let it out." She took a deep breath and pulled away.

"I'm sorry." Her voice was still a bit shaky , but she was finally able to speak up.

"There's nothing to be sorry for."

"Yes there is. I've hurt Demi because of this. I fell for my best friend Jennel! Do you not understand that?! And I just told you, of all people I told you! You're Demi's girlfriend for crying out loud,I'm stupid! You probably hate me! I'm sorry." Tears were quickly racing down her face, she was struggling to breath properly.

I didn't know how to respond, so I just hugged her again. I knew if I spoke up she would say the opposite, and I really don't wanna argue, I know she's stubborn.

"You should be mad at me."

"I'm not mad. I kinda always knew. I had my suspicions, but you just confirmed it, and I'm okay with it. You can't help who you fall for right? As cliche as it sounds it's true."

"Y-you knew?" She pulled away once again. My hands immediately went up to her face as I brushed away the tears.

"Yeah. It just all adds up. You were jealous of Demi spending time with her coworkers, and you kinda overreacted when you um saw us on the beach.

I've noticed the way you look at her, your eyes automatically light up. Whenever her name came up in our conversation just now, I would catch you smiling. You're not very subtle." She seemed calm, she was most likely processing everything.

"We're cool though right?"

"Yeah. There's no reason for us not to be. I know you wouldn't get in the way of my relationship with Demi, and I"m not gonna treat you any differently. Surprisingly,I'm not even jealous of you spending time with her. You're not a problem, but-"

"Wilmer might be?" She cut me off and finished my sentence for me.

"How did you know?"

"He makes Demi happy, and she'd leave me for him sometimes. I understood though because they were in a relationship, but when you left the first time I came over and saw them together. And then he went to the set of X Factor and they took pictures together."

I remember getting the notification when she posted those pictures. I tried to not let it get to me, but in the end it did. I always feel so insecure when it comes to Demi, I'm scared of losing her.

"But whatever she loves you, she always talks about you. I've never heard anything bad about about you. And even when she complains about you, which is hardly ever, she says it's cute. The girl is head over heels in love with you Jennel."

I couldn't help but smile, but also I couldn't help but notice the change in Selena's face as she spoke. I know she means well and everything, but I can tell it hurts her to think about Demi being in a relationship.

"I'm gonna go. Thanks for, well everything."

"We're okay though right?"

"Yup. I'll treat this as if it never happened, if that's okay with you?"

"That's more than okay. Thanks Jennel, for being here for me. It really means a lot to me." I pecked her cheek and opened the door. I threw my bag over my shoulder and waved.

She waved back, but she didn't leave, not till I reached the door. Time to go see my princess.


"Demi?" I ended up whispering her name. I was hoping to surprise her but she beat me to it.

I slammed the door and ran back out. I heard her yelling, but I kept running. She hadn't even seen me, she was probably just scared cause someone had opened the door to her house.

My lungs were quick to give out. I threw myself on the ground, I could barely breathe, I was crying too hard to control my breathing.

I didn't care that it was dark, or that the rain was soaking my clothes, that was the least of my problems. Where am I staying?

"S-selena." I couldn't speak. My breathing was still uneven, I couldn't stop sobbing. My body was shaking terribly, my throat was tight.

"Jennel? Jennel is everything okay? Are you okay?"

"Come. Please, come pick me up." I hung up and let my phone hit the wet road.

She was the only person I could think of calling. I'm not ready to see Demi yet, and I don't no anyone else here.

I opened my eyes when I felt a light hit my face. A loud bang brought me back to the real world.

"Jennel what the fuck happened!" She pulled me into her, I didn't respond, I didn't even flinch, I just let her hold me.

"Jennel, what happened?" I could hear the worry in her voice.

I knew she was trying to stay calm, but she was having a hard time doing it. She was growing impatient, I didn't want to worry her. The last thing I need is for someone to care about me, Demi obviously doesn't, so why would anyone else?

"Can you just take me somewhere else?"

"Yeah, come one I'll take you back to my place."


"Jennel? Jenn wake up?"

I feel my arm being shoved. I shift my body and face the window.

"Jenneeeel." She drags out my name and slaps my arm, this time I turn and face her.

"We're here come on." I had forgotten everything in that moment.

I get why people like to sleep so much. It's the only moment when you don't feel any pain, nothing can get to you. It's like your dead for that little while.

I follow after her and just stand at her door, unsure of what to do.

My clothes are still soaked, I wouldn't wanna get anything wet, even though the seat of car is most likely wet as it is.

"Follow me." I walk behind her and follow her up the stairs.

I take a look around and let everything sink in. Her house has that homey feel to it.

"I'm not sure if we're the same size, but it'll do for now. You can pick out what you want. Just bring your clothes downstairs so I can put them in the dryer. And I'll take your bag downstairs so I can go ahead and start drying these clothes. I'll be downstairs if you need anything, we need to talk."

"Y-yeah. Sorry, for this."

"Shh no, don't apologize. We'll talk when you get downstairs."


"You hungry?" I shake my head and pull the stool closer to the counter.

"Fine, looks like you'll miss out on my famous cookies." She walks over with a plate of cookies in her hand.

I know she's trying to cheer me up, and it's working, a little.

"Take your time." She smiled at me, I just nodded.

I decided to go ahead in tell her, there's no use in keeping it in. There's no one I could talk to this about anyways, no one knows abut my relationship.

"Well Demi didn't know I was flying in today, I told her I'd be here tomorrow since you were picking me up.

I knew she had been spending time with Wilmer, and I called her out on it. I told her that we weren't spending too much time together anymore. I know she's busy recording, but she started spending her free time with him.

We haven't even been on a proper date in a while. Whenever I want to ask her out to dinner she already has plans with him. I'm okay with it, to an extent.

I'm happy that he makes her happy, but he's her ex. I automatically get jealous and insecure. He's older, he's a celebrity, they've known each other longer. I'm just some girl from the X Factor that she had to mentor, it's like I'm just some charity case.

I've always been so insecure about it, but she always told me otherwise, and I actually believed her.

But I don't know what to believe anymore." My voice was starting to get shaky, I honestly don't understand how I made it that long with out tearing up, and I'm not even done yet.

I guess this is what it's like to be numb.

"I walked in, hoping to surprise her, but things worked out differently.

She didn't even notice me. She was too busy shoving her tongue down Wilmer's throat.

I ran. I slammed the door and took off. I heard her screaming, but she was most likely sacred that someone had opened her door.

I kept running, not once looking back. I gave up and just threw myself on the ground. I had been crying so much, and the running didn't make it any easier to breath." I hated how that sounded.

'She was too busy shoving her tongue down Wilmer's throat.'

It sounded so cruel the way I said it, it disgusted me to even have to say that. I just never thought I'd be talking about Demi that way.

"I'm sorry." She leaned in and gave me a hug. She started rubbing circles on my back.

"You give really nice hugs." I tried to lighten the mood, I didn't want this to be so gloomy.
