Be Stupid For Me - Chapter 8
When I went to school after the date which was yesterday, I texted Demi asking if everything’s set. when she replied “Yes” I went straight to Selena’s locker, I saw them talking there and I called them, when they saw me, Miley came and kissed me. Everything happened so fast and on the corner of my eye, I saw Selena walk away. I wanted to chase after her, tell her, this was all for pretend so she’ll see that she loves me. But why? She’d never accept that, I realized it now but even from the beginning she didn’t want to fall for me, she was an end game and I’m stupid enough to start playing. I removed my eyes from her silhouette slowly disappearing and let go of her. She was my best friend, and I did promise to protect her from everything - even pain.
I stopped the kiss.
“Thanks.” I whispered in Miley’s ear.
“My pleasure.” She whispered back.
During lunch, Selena was nowhere to be found, so I was left to eat with Demi.
“Mission accomplished.” Demi said.
“What?” I asked. I haven’t told her that I wanted to stop.
“Well, Selena’s starting to see how she truly feels for you and you know know that she will and forever will be stupidly going to push her thought of you away and you decided to stop because you love her but you realized she doesn’t want you that way and that you’re also hurting her with trying to force her into thinking.”
I smiled.
“How do you know all these things?”
“Because I know you two too well.”
“You liked the kiss, didn’t you?” And then without us realizing Selena sat with us.
“Yeah, I kinda did.”
“Okay.” Selena said looking at her wrist like there was a watch in there somewhere “Look at the time, it’s getting late, I gotta go, don’t want to be late.” Then she left.
“I had to ask.” Demi muttered.
“Demi, can I tell you something?” He asked.
“Sure.”
“I want to stop hurting her and all but I enjoyed the kiss a little because I knew she got hurt, like I was glad she felt what I have been feeling every time I see her and Taylor together.”
She nodded.
“So, you want to do it again?” She asked deviously.
“No, I just realized that I’m not really gonna stop loving her.”
“Yeah, It’s really not that easy.” She said.
“You should know.” I said.
She raised a brow.
“Oh, don’t pretend like I don’t know how you feel for my dickhead of a brother.”
“I don’t feel anything for him!” She argued but her face was red.
“Yeah, right.”
