Chapter Four
Selena's POV 2
November 9th
"Are you sure what I'm wearing is fine?"
"It's just three Jonases. It's not like it's Obama or Biden. We're going to talk
about Demi and that's it. Like we're friends who can get along for more than a
phone conversation. We can be civil to them." Miley twirled from putting her
lipstick on in the mirror. "Every Jonas but Joe. We're looking good for our fans
but we don't have to overdo it."
"Right. It's not like we weren't all friends before..."
Miley pursed her lips and shrugged. "Things change."
"Miley! You're making me nervous."
Miley suddenly laughed. "I'm sorry. That was a little ominous." She sat down
beside Selena. "Thanks for coming with me."
"No problem. I have to admit I was a little curious."
"Me, too. I don't know how this night is going to go." She glanced at the wall
clock. "But we better head out before they accuse us of standing them up."
At the Restaurant
"See?" Miley said to Selena as they sat down. "Everything is cool. No
nervousness at all."
"That's because they aren't here yet."
"Smile, Selena. We have to look like we want to be here."
Selena pasted the widest fake smile that made Miley laugh out loud.
"Now you look like I'm holding a gun to your side and making you stay here.
Lighten up, Selena."
Selena sighed. "Well, you sort of did make me smile."
"How about if I mention David? Will that make you smile?"
As Selena was beginning to smile, she heard her name in a familiar masculine
timber. "Selena? What are you doing here?"
Selena froze and twisted around with a mischievous smile on her. "What do you
think? I'm here with Miley."
"Selena!" Danielle squealed her name running in to hug her. "It's so great to
see you again."
"Where is the love?" Miley mumbled.
Kevin winced hearing his wife's scream but he stepped around her to Miley. "Hey,
Miles."
Miley smiled and hugged him.
Selena noticed Nick standing to the side out of the commotion. Not wanting him
to feel left out, she suggested, "Let's sit down." Selena sat down next to
Danielle who sat down beside Kevin who sat by Nick which left Miley to sit by
him. The small circle table left them very close together.
Miley groaned.
Nick pretended to ignore her. "So, Selena, you never called me back-"
"Here we go." Selena said dramatically and turned to Nick with an insincere smile. "Nick, I'm sorry.
Was it important?"
Nick glanced at Miley then returned his gaze to Selena. "Sort of, but private
important."
Miley sat up and Selena noticed her change in mood immediately. She was more
curious now. "I saw that. Do you guys talk about me behind my back?"
Selena shrugged not exactly knowing where Nick was going with this. Maybe he
just meant he didn't want Miley to hear their conversation.
"Miley. Not now. Why don't you take it down a notch?" Nick suggested.
Miley scoffed and Selena shivered, knowing this was going to a bad place. "Are
you telling me to calm down?"
Selena shook her head quickly to warn him.
"No...?" He said unsure.
"Guys." Kevin glared at Nick. "Back to neutral ground. Demi."
Danielle placed her hand over Kevin's.
Selena looked over to Miley, speechless, which was what happened to her every
time Demi came up.
Miley looked over to Nick. "I think the best thing for us is not to think or
talk about Demi for a few weeks or at least until she calls."
"Why?"
"Its just going to make us sad. We can't be like that for the rest of our lives.
I have other things to worry about."
"Oh, and Demi gets put to bottom of your list? Probably too busy taking care of
your Aussy boyfriend." Nick's retort was quick and he was sure, pretty sure once he saw Miley's expression, that he wanted to immediately take it back.
"Nick, you don't know what you're talkin-" Miley cut off Selena by holding up
her hand.
"You sound jealous, Jonas."
"Im not jealous." Nick glanced to Selena who was uncomfortable under his gaze.
"Your mistake is in thinking Miley doesn't care about Demi more than anyone else
can even claim."
Nick looked over at Kevin and Danielle who were observing their exchange. "We
should go. Joe has probably already noticed we're not back yet." He stood up
nodding to Selena. "Bye." He gave her little wave not even acknowledging Miley
before he walked out.
Miley's mouth dropped open in shock and Selena looked down. "No, he didn't."
Before Selena could stop her, not that she was going to with the temper Miley
was in, Miley had rounded out of her chair and stomped after Nick Jonas.
"Oh, he's got nerve, huh?" Selena laughed.
Kevin just stared at her.
"What'd I say?"
