demi and i watched as sam and selena talked.
"do you think they'll get back together?" demi asked.
i smiled, "yeah. yeah i think so. they love eachother. what they went through was very hard and difficult but they will eventually pull through. i just hope sam doesn't screw up again. she really hurt selena."
"do you think it will happen soon?"
"i don't know. i think selena needs time to trust sam again. it will take some time to build up that trust again." i explained.
demi nodded, "i agree. so anyways. how's the fiance?"
i smiled, "he's good. great actually. we couldn't be happier."
"well well well. looks like juliet finally found her romeo." she teased me about my old song love story from the fearless album.
"well what can i say? he's the best thing that's ever been mine." i quoted my other song mine from the speak now album.
we both laughed.
"we should get going. sam! selena!" i called out.
they turned around, "coming." selena said.
they walked over and sam stepped close to me, and farther from selena.
i noticed the tears in their eyes. oh god.
"well. i'll see you guys. sel, tay. call me okay?"
"of course dem. see you." i said and hugged her.
she hugged selena.
we walked to the car, "i really hope i don't need to watch you two like 5 year olds." i said to them through my smile.
"well that depends on who will act like an adult." selena said through her smile.
"maybe if someone used their time wisely to think i wouldn't have to be so stubborn." sam said.
i sighed and we got in the car.
they sat on each side of me and both looked out the window. you could literally feel the tension. what happened back there?
flashback to the building
sam pov
"so. um how have you been?" i asked selena.
"good. you?"
"as good as you can be in rehab i guess. my favorite part was when they had to check my room for drugs or alcohol every hour and test me for traces of alcohol." i joked.
"sam. don't joke." selena said and sighed.
"well i have to make light of it somehow." i defended.
she smiled and signed autographs and took pictures.
"so...are we? together?" i asked nervously.
"sam. i can't talk about this now." selena sighed.
"why not? i've surely been waiting long enough." i said.
"sam. seriously. i told you i needed space."
"and 6 weeks isn't enough?" i said.
she sighed and turned to me, "sam. look. i haven't really thought about it! okay?"
i got upset, "how could you not think about our relationship? are you seeing someone else?"
tears instantly filled my eyes.
"no! god no sam! of course i'm not! it's just that...i didn't think about our status at all! i was busy with the music and the video."
"Which is all about us selena! i don't get it! don't you love me?"
she whipped around, tears in her eyes, "of course i love you sam! didn't you see the video? i love you so much but it's toxic! you hurt me so badly sam...maybe i should just go back to being your aunt..."
my heart dropped.
i swallowed, "well...you don't know how wrong you are about this. you are making a mistake selena."
"i just haven't put much thought to it sam." she said softly.
"sam! selena!" mom called.
selena looked at me with tears in her eyes, "coming." she replied.
end of flashback
selena pov
we got out of the car but sam didn't. she was in a trance, "sam. let's go." i said.
she turned to me, "whatever you say aunt selena." she said and walked passed me.
i swallowed the lump in my throat.
i felt tears welling in the back of my eyes but i blinked them back.
"samantha." taylor scolded.
sam shrugged, "what? i was just doing what she wants. right aunt selena?"
"sam. stop." taylor said.
"i'm just listening." she said.
her words cut into me like a knife.
"sam. would you please just-"
"NO!" she cut me off.
"YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO IS HURT HERE! I SPENT 6 WEEKS IN THAT NUT BARN AND ALL I THOUGHT ABOUT EVERYDAY WAS WHAT I DID TO YOU AND HOW I COULD WIN YOU BACK! BUT TO THINK YOU DIDN'T EVEN PUT ONE THOUGHT TO THIS THE WHOLE TIME?!" at this point she was crying.
"god selena i love you so much it hurts! i saw you on television at those interviews and it hurt me to see you in pain! i was hoping that i would mend your broken heart! i am trying to put the pieces together! but all you want is to be my aunt again?! do you know how much that hurts me?!" she screamed. at this point paparazzi was surrounding us.
"guys maybe we should go inside." taylor said.
"no. i want to do this here." i said.
i stepped closer to sam, "you know what sam. i did love you. and i sure as hell still do. i know you were hurt. you don't think i know that?! ezra told me constantly how much you asked about me! i asked taylor all the time how you were doing! i wanted to make sure that you were safe in there! so don't you dare ever think i didn't think about you because i did. all the time. god sam! you are crazy to think that i didn't think about you! i didn't think about us because i didn't know if there was an us anymore! and you being a child doesn't help!" i screamed back.
"oh so you're saying i'm too young for you?" she said.
i bulged my eyes, "WHAT?! i don't think i said that!"
"i think you did! you said i was being a child!"
"BECAUSE YOU ARE! YOU ARE BEING STUBBORN! I ASKED FOR TIME!"
"AND I GAVE YOU TIME! 6 WEEKS SELENA! I GAVE YOU 6 DAMN WEEKS TO THINK ABOUT IT! I SPENT 6 WEEKS AWAY FROM YOU! I WANT YOU BACK!"
i went to talk but i closed my mouth.
"i loved you." she whispered.
"and i love you sam. so much. but...i can't right now. please. this is too much to take in in one night. i just need rest okay?" i said as i held her shoulders.
she sniffled and nodded slightly, "i'm sorry for what i did..." she said.
"i know you are." i replied.
"i just...need time to forgive you that's all i'm asking for...please sam. for me?" i asked quietly.
she nodded, "okay."
i pulled her into me and hugged her.
she wrapped her arms around me the way she always did. i felt warm in her arms and safe.
when she pulled away i cleared my throat and looked at the paparazzi, "alright then." i said and walked inside.
i need to keep my distance from sam for a while. just to clear my head. no matter how difficult it will be, i have to try.

1 week later
taylor pov
it's been 1 week since their big fight and it has been hell.
i don't know what to do. sam and selena don't talk to eachother and i know it's killing both of them inside.
"do you think sam will be okay?" i asked ezra as we layed on the couch infront of the fire.
he rubbed my arm, "sam is a very strong young woman. she will be fine. especially with someone like you by her side tay. she loves you so much."
i sighed, "she's a junior in high school now...she's gonna be looking at colleges and soon she'll be all grown up. she won't be my little girl anymore." i said.
"oh taylor. sam will always be your little girl. she loves you. and no matter what happens, nothing will change that."
i smiled and turned in his arms. i kissed his lips, "thank you. i love knowing that." i said honestly.
he smiled and held my hand. i lightly closed my eyes to rest.

i was driving home from volleyball practice when i saw a group of guys infront of starbucks.
"hey selena, since you and sam are done how about you come home with me?"
i stepped out of my car.
"guys can you please leave me alone?" selena quietly said.
"playing hard to get? okay baby. i love a feisty girl." one said and pushed his body against hers, he has a boner and it was pressing up against selena.
heat rose to my face.
"please. stop. just leave me alone." she begged as she tried to continue walking.
"come on baby. damn. look at that ass." one guy said and smacked her butt.
i ran over and punched him in the face.
he fell backwards, "hey! what the hell man?!" he said.
"don't you dare touch her. you hear me?" i hissed at them all.
there are 5 of them.
"or what?" one said.
"or else you will end up in the hospital." i warned.
they all laughed, "ooh! i'm so scared of a little 16 year old girl!" one teased.
"come on baby. let's get out of here." one said and took selena's hand.
"no let go of me." she slapped his hand away and held my arm.
"hey! i said let's go." he said and gabbed her.
he yanked her over to a car and squeezed her butt.
she jumped, "LET GO OF ME!" she cried.
they all followed their friend and selena was being taken to a van.
"HEY! I SAID LET GO OF HER!" i screamed and ran over.
i tackled one guy and punched him in the face several times.
i was taken off of him and lifted up by my arms.
i kicked my foot backwards into his nuts.
he cried in pain.
i kicked another guy in the chest.
one spun me around and punched me in the face, sending me spiraling backwards.
"SAM!" selena screamed. she was being shoved into the van. she was wriggling and kicked her feet against the side of the van to try to escape.
i stood up and punched the guy across the face, sending him to the ground.
i ran to the guy with selena and i grabbed his shoulders and threw him to the ground.
"hey she's not your girl anymore. why are you so protective of her?"
my eyes flared, "because she's mine. nobody gets to touch her like that. she doesn't like it." i said and kicked him in the balls.
he grunted in pain.
he stood up and pulled out a gun on me.
"SAM!" selena cried.
i stood still.
"don't move. or i shoot." he warned.
i gulped.
selena stood up and walked over to me.
"no. selena stop." i said.
she had tears flying down her face.
"sam..."
"selena it's okay. stay there."
he stepped closer and grabbed selena.
"you move, she dies." he hissed.
"please. don't hurt her. she didn't do anything. please." i begged.
he smiled, "not so tough now are ya?" he laughed.
his friends stood up and laughed at me.
i looked at selena.
i gave her a look, "run." i mouthed.
she stepped on the guys foot and he screamed.
i took her hand and we sprinted as fast as we could away.
"HEY! I'M NOT DONE WITH YOU!"
i gripped selena's hand tighter.
i dialed mom,
(s-sam t-taylor)
t-sam? where are you?
s-mom! i need you! we're in trouble.
t-who is? sam what's going on?
s-me and selena! there's guys chasing us. gun mom he has a gun. please hurry. call the police. we're near starbucks somewhere.
t-oh my god. sam keep running okay? we'll be right there. be safe baby i love you so much.
s-i love you too mom.
i hung up the phone and we rounded a corner.
there's a wall.
"sam. what do we do?" selena cried.
i heard footsteps.
i pulled her into me and she cried into my chest. just a random couple.
i held her tightly. i pulled away and wiped her tears, "listen to me. you are gonna hide okay? i will distract them and you run."
"no. sam no i'm not leaving you."
"listen to me. selena please do this for me okay?"
she cried, "no sam. i'm not leaving you. you'll be killed."
"well i'm not letting him lay a hand on you. i love you too much."
we heard footsteps.
i instantly pulled her into me and connected our lips.
i pulled away and kissed her forehead, "hide in the dumpster. now selena. go please." i said.
i pushed her over to the dumpster and she got in.
the footsteps rounded the corner, "where's the prize?" the guy said amused.
"she's not a prize." i said.
"yeah well. oh well."
he held the gun up to me and cocked it back, "NO STOP!" selena cried and got out of the dumpster.
"selena! what are you doing?!" i said.
"not letting you die for me." she said.
he smiled, "well i have to kill someone."
"me." selena said.
"WHAT?! NO! no! me!"
"sam. stop. i am going. not you. taylor needs you. she can't lose her daughter. nobody needs me."
tears fell down my face, "i need you." i whispered to her.
she cried.
"so who is it?" the guy asked.
"me." selena said.
he cocked the gun and shot.
"NOOO!!"
i ran over and jumped infront of selena.
i collapsed on the ground in a thump. there was a burning sensation in my lower stomach.
selena pov
after the guy shot it was like everything went in slow motion. i closed my eyes.
sam screamed and i heard a thump.
i opened my eyes and nothing hurt. i was fine.
i heard police sirens.
i looked down and saw a lump of blonde on the floor, "SAMMMMMMM!!!!!!"
