Missing Song (Nelena) | Book 1

4: Bumping Into Justin ?

I spent the rest of my morning talking with Taylor, she was just telling me about her new boyfriend, Joe Alwyn. 

'I know every time I talk about him- it feels as if I'm talking about 'That guy'.' She looked down sadly- remembering Joe. We don't say his name because me and Taylor never really liked guys who broke up with girls on the phone. We always thought anyone who did that was cowards. 

'Anyway- you and Nick?' she piped up, showing me a pic on her phone- it was an article with me and Nick on the cover. He was holding my hand and the cover said 'Nick Jonas on re-runs for the THIRD time?'

I felt hurt thinking about the fact that we both dated each other twice. The first time we dated, he broke up with me on the phone for Miley.

I felt Taylor put her hand on my shoulder and say, 'Don't worry, I know it's just a rumor. He helped you out of that paparazzi mess, did he?' I nodded, thinking about how he cared about me.

'He is a lot better than Joe...' I laughed at the last comment and softly smacked her arm- 'No, I'm sure Joe felt SO bad- Nick did the same, Tay, he broke up with me on the damn phone... Miley over me.' 

Taylor smiled at me and said, putting her finger into the air- 'No worries! Men are dolphins! Apart from Joe- Alwyn, of course.' I laughed and I got a text from Nick.

Suddenly I remembered- Nick asked me to go to lunch with him- I checked my watch- 11:28 am.

'Oh no, Tay, I have to go meet up with someone! I'm going to be late if I don't hurry out now-' 

'Go,' said Taylor, getting up and pulling me with her. I headed out the door, bringing my purse and a pair of sunglasses with me.

Nick

I sat on the couch looking at the clock. I decided when the clock struck 11: 50, I'd leave so I'd get there at 12 sharp. I loved being perfectly present when I was out on a date or a business date. 

I considered this- as a date :)

The clock struck 11:49 and I grabbed my car keys off the counter and made my way to the front door- I stopped and stood there for a whole minute. 

Whilst I waited, I made my way to the car and started the engine. My brothers say it was pretty childish about me- but I would say it's pretty fun.    

Selena

I decided to walk instead of taking the car because I thought that since I sat all day, it would be nice to take a quick jog-walk to the restaurant.

I was just about to go around the corner, I bumped into someone and my shades fell off- I smelt the scent of an expensive designer cologne and I knew- This is definitely not happening. I grabbed my stuff from the ground and put on my shades- I was not going to even look at him.

I tried to move away from him but he grabbed my wrist- 

'Going somewhere?' There it was. That sly cunning voice. Justin is not going to ruin my lunch date with Nick.

'It's none of your business, knuckle-head.' he laughed and I used to opportunity to slip away, but he still grabbed me. 'You need to answer to me first, Selena, I believe you have some explaining to do.' 

He showed me the same article- but this one had a different pic- it was me leaning over to hug Nick. I don't even know what to tell him so I just spat at his face- 'It's none of your business! It doesn't matter if I'm meeting up with someone that's not you!' 

It just slipped. I don't know what happened but it slipped out of my tongue. 

Justin just stood there, smirking and holding me by my wrists. He suddenly grabbed me and headed in the opposite direction- I tried screaming for help but Justin had a hand over my mouth. I saw a black jeep and a familiar face- Nick.  

Nick

I was driving and listening to some of Rihanna's hits until I saw something that caught my eye- it was a guy in shades and his fashion would be known anywhere- hoodie, oversized shirt underneath, ripped jeans, and a baseball cap. I knew it was Justin, and when I saw the girl- 

I knew it was Selena.    

My car skidded to a stop- I quickly got out and rushed over to Justin. 'What's your problem man!?' I looked over to Selena's scared, frightened eyes and gave her a calm look, telling her that I was here.

'Well- I wouldn't have had to do this if you weren't hooking up with Selena in the first place!' he shot back- his face reddening as he held onto Selena.

'What the fuck- let her go you freaking phsyco! I wasn't even hooking up with her! You're in over your ass!' I took my chance and pulled Selena out of his grip. I put her safely behind me and punched Justin in the nose.

It bled and I heard a crack. His shades fell off his face and he shot a punch back at me, I ducked, but he had another coming- heading straight for my stomach. I felt the pain giving in and everything was numb.

I collapse onto the ground, clutching my stomach. Justin gave a sly smirk and a laugh and ran off.    

I felt my eyes fluttering and Selena's face hovering above mine. I gave a slight smile and tried to get up, but a sharp pain hit me. I gave up and laid down on the concrete pavement. My face felt fine- but it was my stomach.

Selena

I returned the small smile he gave me and stared at him. He gave a slight groan and tried to get up. 'Ugh'.

I laughed and patted him in the head- 'You okay?' I knew he was a strong guy and a punch wouldn't take him down. 

'I'm so good...' he groaned again- trying to sit up. I helped him up, of course. I gave him a quick smile and said: 'Thanks, for saving me, Nick.' It was pretty cringing but it came out that way. He laughed and said-

'No problem- I was going to have to save you of course, or else, I would be eating alone.' I gave him a small punch and said- 'You're such a bully, Jonas! Now get up cause your late for your date!'

'I wouldn't call it late...' he trailed off clutching his ribcage and limping. I laughed, it felt so good to be with him and not Justin...
