I Know You Love Me

In the morning I could already smell breakfast cooking and my mouth starting watering. That Pattie was really something. If I could...I would keep her forever.

"Shaunshaunshaunshaun!" Justin ran into my room and jumped on top of me. "Get up!" He was smiling from ear to ear. This couldn't be good.

"Whaaat?" I groaned.

"I pretty much finished your song." He pulled off the covers and I swung to hit him but he was already standing, attempting to pull me off the bed.

"I'm going to kill you Bieber" I said just as he pulled me off the bed forcing me to stand up.

"Just come on," He dragged me down the hall into his studio and he got everything ready and started singing.

I always knew you were the best
The coolest girl I know...

The star of my show

So many times I wished

But never knew it'd get like this
Girl, what you do to me

You're who I'm thinkin' of
Girl, you ain't my runner up
And no matter what
You're always number one

My prize possession, one and only
Adore you girl, da da...
The one I can't live without
That's you, that's you

You're my special little lady
The one that makes me crazy
Of all the girls I've ever known

My favorite, my favorite
My favorite, my favorite girl
My favorite girl

You're used to goin' out your way
To impress these Mr. Wrongs
But you can be yourself with me
I'll take you as you are

I know they said da da da...
It's a dream that can't be real
So da da da da...
And show 'em da da da...

You're who I'm thinkin' of
Girl you ain't my runner up
And no matter what
You're always number one

My prize possession, one and only
Adore you girl, da da da...

That's you, that's you

You're my special little lady

He took off his headphones and smiled. "I haven't finished it yet completely but it's good right?"

I was speechless. I really didn't know what to say. I didn't even think he was going to put that much effort in it and here he was, a couple hours later almost finished. It sounded kind of silly with the 'da-da's' in it but it was still amazing. "It's...great!" I said.

"I know it's a little over the top," He was talking fast and I could barely keep up. "But songs don't always have to be true ya know? Selena's definitely going to think it's about her because it sounds a little romantic but that's okay, because, ya know, she is my favorite girl." He smiled.

"Um, sure." I laughed not knowing one word of what he said.

"I'm so excited!" He jumped.

"Calm down!" I grabbed his arm and pulled him down onto the couch with me.

"I've never wrote a song for really...anyone." He explained and then groaned. "Selena..."

"What?" I frowned.

"I never wrote a song for her...even if she thinks this one's about her...it's not the same. I feel bad." He rubbed his forehead.

"Don't feel bad!" I put my arm around him. "I pretty much forced you into this." I reminded him.

"That's true..." He said. "I'm going to write a song for her though...someday."

"And that's cool!" I smiled. "You really love her don't you?"

"I-I gue--"

"Breakfast is ready." His mom came in in Betty Boop pajama pants and an over sized t-shirt.

"Nice!" I pulled him up and went to eat.

Justin's Point of View

"That's true..." I said. "I'm going to write a song for her though...someday." I felt horrible for writing a song for Shaun and not Selena.

"And that's cool!" Shauna smiled at me. "You really love her don't you?"

"I-I gue--" I didn't want to say I loved her and thankfully my mom interrupted us.

"Breakfast is ready." She said.

"Nice!" Shaun pulled me into the kitchen. "Yum!" She ran over and started stuffing her face.

"We should have prayer," My mom giggled and looked at me, her eyes shining.

"Hey mom, is grandpa and grandma bringing Jazzy home today?" I kissed her on the side of her head.

"Yes, they are!" She said excitedly. "So, let's have prayer and eat so we can get on with our day."

She prayed and I sat down with Shaun to eat.

"This is delicious, Ms. Pattie." Shaun said with her mouth full. She looked so cute when she ate and I couldn't help but smile. I felt so...right when she was around. That's why I had invited her to spend the night. I was sick of feeling so alone.

"Thanks honey." Mom smiled at her. She made mom happy too. I couldn't argue with that. I couldn't argue that she was a better friend than Selena was, as much as I didn't want to admit and would never admit that to Selena.

~~

"When should I tell my dad I'm coming home?" Shaun asked me and I panicked. I didn't want her to leave just yet.

"Later?" I tried.

"I know that!" She rolled her eyes. "How much later?"

"Eight?"

"Okay," She texted her dad and shut her phone. "What are we gonna do today then?"

"How about I introduce you to some of my friends?" I asked.

"Not until you tidy up this room!" My grandma came in.

"Hey grandma," I went over to hug her.

"Hey sweetie," She kissed my cheek. "Now get this room in order before you go out."

"'Kay." I started cleaning up really fast.

"At least she keeps you in order." Shaun laughed and started making the bed.

"You don't have to help," I said.

"Please," She scoffed. "Don't be proud."

We finished cleaning and headed out the door.

"So who's your friends?" She asked while I was texting them to go over to Chaz's house.

"Well, I have a lot of friends obviously." He laughed.

"Dude!" She pushed me.

"Ryan's gonna be there, and Chaz and...Christian, I think." I said and shoved my phone into my pocket.

"Oh, cool."

~~

"Justin!" Ryan, Chaz, and Christian ran out of the house yelling when we got there.

"Hey guys!" I started laughing. It was so good to be back with my friends. Including Shaun...

"Who's the hottie?" Ryan raised his eyebrows at Shaun and I got defensive automatically. I didn't like the way they looked at her. Even Chaz, who had already met her.

"This is Shaun," I put my arm around her shoulders, protectively.

"Hi," She smiled and waved at them.

Shauna's Point of View

"Hi," I smiled and waved at Justin's friends, trying not to be awkward but not succeeding.

I tightened my arm around Justin's waist because it made me more comfortable. I was never like this around anyone. I was always pretty outgoing.

"Hey," The little, cute one with braces popped up in front of me, waggling his eyebrows.

"Hey," I couldn't help but laugh. "You are so cute."

"Nice," He winked at me. "Want to...get together?"

"Oh my God, Christian!" Justin pushed him and laughed. "I'm sorry, Shaun. He tries..."

"He's so cute!" I whispered.

"Let's get inside. I'm going to kick your ass on Black Ops." Ryan said to Justin and ran up the stairs into the house.

"He doesn't know what he's talking about," He grabbed my hand and walked towards house after Ryan.

"Shauna," Chaz grabbed my arm before we were in the house.

"I'm going in." Justin let go of my hand and disappeared inside.

"What?" I turned to Chaz.

"Justin's been texting me about you..." He trailed off.

"And?" I frowned.

"You shouldn't be doing this to him."

"And what exactly am I doing?" I crossed my arms over my chest.

"He...okay, so since he's been in "show business" he's been...different. Like he's been really distant from all of us and stuff." He explained. "But you...ever since he met you he's normal again."

"What's wrong with that? If he's normal again."

"It's not! That's not what I'm saying...I just think that you're not good for his relationship with Selena. He was in love with her."

I laughed. "He still is in love with her. Me and him are just friends."

"But he sees it more than that."

"You're mistaken," I said and turned to walk into the house. I didn't need this friendship ruined. Even though Justin was a celebrity he was a good friend. Chaz was just jealous of me.
