Missing Song (Nelena) | Book 1

Selena

We were on our way back to the airport- we were taking a private jet back to L.A because I had to hurry up for the VMAs. I wondered what song I was going to perform now- should I do Rare, or should I still do Wolves- Wolves. I'll do Wolves.

I was about to drone off to sleep when Taylor shook me by the shoulder- "Selena, wake up! We're nearly there!"

"I wish I could wake up-" I groaned. "But too bad I was already up so I couldn't wake up." Taylor looked at me blankly, so I just ignored her and sat up straight. We were going to sleep in the plane anyway- I'm literally dead.

We arrived soon enough and shuffled up the plane steps. I wanted to just fall over the rail- but I forced myself not to. I found my seat, grabbed a blanket, eye mask, and collapse into my seat, sleeping instantly.

***

It had been about 3 hours and I saw the sunrise at the window, I took off my eye mask to look at the view of the hills. We were there, and I had a great time in Las Vegas. I folded the blanket neatly and placed it in the pocket of the seat in front of me- we were landing soon, so I didn't want to get up.

I saw a buzz in my phone- I know I shouldn't have my phone on, but I forgot to close it last night, due to the fact that my eyes were closing in mid-air. It was- Taylor!? What is she doing texting me!?

Hey friend!

What is it that you want- you're texting me at literally 5 in the morning!  -_-

Ooh- someone's awake, and someone's grumpy!

I'm grumpy because of YOU 

And the reason you're awake?

IS YOU. You woke me UP. : (

Okay, stop with the capital letters, you're freaking me OUT.

Well, sorry about that. :D

I threw my phone down, not wanting to violate the rules of being in the air and texting.

Nick

Today was the day. Well, there are many reasons it's the day- one, Joe just restocked my fridge with another pack of Sunkist OJ- I am loving it. Also- it's the VMAs night. I was getting an award, so I'll get the award without performing- I would be there anyway so, why not?

I woke up and took a nice warm shower- I was thinking bath, but I gotta meet up with Sel- Aleen, at the soundcheck. We- Joe, him, and I- need to plan out what we're supposed to do at Selena's performance.

I know she's doing Wolves because she told me when we were talking- arguing.

I took out a nice sailor's t-shirt with some blue stripes- they make me look like a kid. And I got some short-legged trousers, with those big pockets on the side. I was gonna go get coffee with Joe- hopefully not Taylor.

I went downstairs to grab my shades- I had to pick up Joe, making this harder than ever. 

I grabbed my car keys off the nightstand and walked out, putting on my shades and shoes. The morning was beautiful, and I walked down the steps to my car, opened it, and got in. I turned on the engine, making the most beautiful sound I have heard in so long. 

I backed out of the driveway and onto the streets of L.A. 

Joe

"Nick's picking me up. I mean, us up," I said to Taylor. She was coming along, and we were trying to basically... make Nick like Selena, and Selena like Nick again. Regarding the fact that he has been miserable these past few days.

"I'll call Selena! We could pretend to make them third wheel us!" Taylor said, jumping up and down. "But it would start rumors of course-" I nodded, rubbing my chin. I liked doing it because I just recently trimmed my beard and now- it is looking pretty hot.

"But it's gonna be fine, Tay, they wanted this!"

"Did they?" said Taylor, tilting her head. I nodded back, "Yes they did- I mean, we wouldn't have to do this if they didn't get mad at each other in the first place!" 

Taylor nodded in agreement, so we decided to call Selena over.

I paced around the room as Taylor ringed Sel- she could be still asleep... "Hey, Sel!" I nearly jumped. For God's sake Taylor- you need to calm down with these "best-friend" greetings, they are freaking me out.

She looked over and saw me clutching my heart, "Sorry-" she mumbled. I smiled at her and walked over, putting my hand on her waist as I listened to her talk. "What're you doing?" I heard Taylor say as I put my head on her shoulder blade. 

"Oh- you're at the gym? Wait what gym?" Taylor stayed quiet until she looked back and patted me on the head. 

"What- oh! The gym at YOUR house! Hah- I knew there was something because I know one thing- gyms don't open at 6 in the morning!" 

I chuckled and took my head off of her shoulder- when was Nick coming? I mouthed my girlfriend that I was going to pick up Sel from her house, and she agreed. 

I took my car keys and drove to Selena's house. 

About a while later, she walked out and came in. "Hey, Joe!" I smiled at her greeting and said, "So- how are you doing? I heard you went to Las Vegas yesterday- came back at night?" She nodded, "My head nearly fell off from being too sleepy."

I laughed at her comment, "You're an early-bird, who wakes up at like 5 to workout!?" 

She nodded slowly and said, "Well- I like to keep fit, especially when I'm sober." 

I raised my eyebrows- "You're- sober? From what?" She looked out the window and said a single word that would've made my little brother's heart drop- 

"Nick." 

We drove in silence back to my house, and Taylor was there, standing at the front door. I smiled and got out. I gave her a peck on the lips and Selena came out after me, hugging Taylor. 

I smiled as the two embraced. 

I saw Nick's car drive up to my house- I metaphorically heard Selena's heart drop and SHATTER. I know- I think I'm being way too dramatic. I saw Nick's eyebrows crinkle to see who the two girls were and he did not look happy.

I felt a smack on my shoulder- Selena grabbed it and pressed, REALLY hard- "What.is.Nick.Doing.Here?!" Taylor and I gave her a small smile- "Sorry, we just- didn't want to waste car fuel!" 

I saw Sel facepalm herself- "This is not gonna get any worst." I heard her mumble.
