This Is What You Made Me [Episode 30] Sometimes The Bad Guy Wins PART 3

Selena's P.O.V
As soon as they left the room, Demi and Nick walked in, Demi with teary eyes and Nick with an unreadable expression on his face. "Dem, Nick..." I whispered, smiling that they actually came, even after all that I did to them. "Sel!" Demi runs over and hugs me. "I'm so glad you're okay, and I am SO sorry about slapping you. I was angry, and upset and I didn't understand. I get it now. Kind of. And I forgive you, I really do. You're one of my best friends and I should have never let a guy come between us." "It's okay Dems. I'm sorry too. For everything. And for not telling you about Joe... you deserved at least that much." Demi wiped away some tears and smiled at me, "So we're still friends?" I smiled back, "the best." Demi hugged me again and then looked at Nick and then back to me again. She made a jerking motion with her head and Nick moved forward and he hugged me too. "You don't understand how sorry I am Nick," I whispered into his ear, "I never wanted to hurt you." He pulled away and gave me a soft smile. "I know that Sel. I never gave you a chance to explain, and I really regret that. I want to hate Joe for what he did to you, but at the same time, I saw how he reacted when he ran away and I know that he has feelings for you." Nick closes his eyes for a second before opening them again and looking at me boldly, "And I know that you have feelings for him too. I'm not saying that I understand it, because I really don't, but I guess love isn't supposed to make sense. But I respect it. I'm not going to lie and say that I don't have feelings for you anymore, because it doesn't work that way, you can't just fall out of love with somebody without reason, there's no off button, but... we were best friends before all of this happened, and I don't want us to ever lose that." By the end of Nick's little speech, tears were running down my cheeks and I pulled him into another hug. "I love you so much as a friend and Brother Nick" And it was true. I probably loved Nick more than anyone else on earth, but it was just different from the way I loved Joe. My love for Nick was completely platonic; my love for Joe... wasn't. Sometimes I wish I could have fallen for Nick the way he fell for me, because it just would have been so much easier, but I guess love isn't supposed to be easy. Nick smiles again, "I know you do Sel." Demi taps Nick on the shoulder, she's smiling and it finally feels like things are going to be okay between all of us. "We need to go now Nick. Miles and Joe need time to come and see her too." "Miley and Joe are here?" I smiled. "Yeah," Nick replied, "We'll go get them now." Nick and Demi both left the room, with a final hug from each of them, and a few minutes later Miley and Joe entered. "You look great Sel!" That's the first thing that comes out of Miley's mouth and I can't help but snort which is bad idea because I get a back up of air in my tube which makes me feel weird for a few seconds. "I'm attached to a breathing tube." "But you're doing it in style," she says and we both giggle, "besides; you look a lot better now than you did when you came in." Miley smiles and squeezes my hand, "I'm glad that you're okay selly belly." She hasn't called me that in a while, and the nickname opens up the floodgates for me and I start crying again, "So you still want to be my friend?" "Of course I do Selena. I was stupid before. Everything that was going on had nothing to do with me, and I shouldn't have tried to get involved. I didn't understand anything that was happened, and just took Demi's side because it seemed like the right thing to do; that was wrong of me. When I moved here from Tennessee in 6th grade, you were the first person to be nice to me, the first friend I made, and the first person to stick up for me whenever people used to make fun of me because of my accent. I should have been there for you the way you were there for me. I was a bad friend and I just hope that you can forgive me for that." "I do forgive you miles. I get why you did what you did, and I don't blame you for anything. Now come here and give me a hug!" Miley laughs and then pulls me into a hug.
