Title: Jump then Fall
Chapter: 3/?
Pairing: Demi/Selena, Selena/Destiny
Disclaimer: No one could possibly own Selena/Demi. I only own the character Destiny.
Summary: She was only trying to get away from the creepy stalker, she never could have imagined the consequences of banging her way into a random hotel room.
Her moves were flawless. They always were. On the outside it was impossible to know that Destiny’s thoughts were not on her perfectly choreographed moves. Her body was on autopilot. Not that it mattered. When dancing was concerned Destiny just let her body move to the rhythm of the music. Thinking was never included.
Destiny’s mind replayed the events of the last night and this morning over and over in her mind. Even though she knew most of the details she couldn’t understand what had happened. She had gotten drunk with Selena Gomez. She had had sex with Selena Gomez. Selena might have seduced her. What the hell was going on? She was glad that Selena had invited her back to chill later. She really needed to find some answers the questions that raced through her mind. She didn’t think she would be able to rest until she got at least some of them answered.
“That was great,” Alexis announced, as Destiny was snapped out of her thoughts.
Destiny half heartedly listened to the words of encouragement that Alexis felt she had to say since she was the dance team leader. It didn’t matter if Destiny paid attention or not. It was the same speech that Alexis had said a million times and would probably say a million more times.
“You okay?”
Destiny glanced to her left and found Allison stand awfully close to her. She wanted to tell her off for the way she had acted the night before. Then again at the same time she wanted to spill to Allison everything that had happened after she had left the room the night before. She had already told her about the stalker, but she hadn’t told a soul about the night she had shared with Selena.
“Everything’s fine,” Destiny lied, the spilling of her lips easily.
Allison stared at her as if she was considering the words that Destiny had spoke. She felt nervous under the scrutiny of her friend as if Allison had been able to see through the lie. As if she had already known what had happened.
“Ok,” Allison said a moment later, “The teams going to go out to dinner with Derek’s team later. You want to come?”
Destiny pretended to think about it. It was such an easy question and it had such an easy answer. Which did she want to do? Did she want to go chill with Selena Gomez or did she want to hang out and watch Derek all over her ex- girlfriend? That was definitely an easy answer.
“Maybe next time,” Destiny replied, “I promised Jessie I would get on web cam with her later.”
Allison nodded and told her to have fun before she disappeared with the rest of the team. Destiny was left alone in the ball room where they were having their practice. It was just her and the speakers. Her mind was still swimming with confusion. The time to head up to Selena's room was fast approaching and Destiny found herself getting nervous. Which was so stupid. It wasn't as if she liked Selena. Or did she?
So she did the only thing she knew would help. She hooked up her IPOD and began playing some of her favorite songs. Soon Drop it Low by Ester Dean was blaring through the speakers.
Destiny then went to work on perfecting one of her own dance routines that she had been working on for awhile. She was something of a perfectionist and before she needed the dance to be perfect before she could show anyone. As she moved around the floor she soon found herself forgetting about all her problems.

The busy set was a wonderful relief for Selena as she was able to focus her attention on something else. She was able to distract her troubled thoughts from Demi and Destiny for the first time since that morning. While at the same time recording gave her a distraction from her problems, the breaks in between were not her favorite. Her fellow cast members were starting to notice her unusual quiet demeanor. Specifically David Henrie and Jennifer Stone who were beginning to question her. It wasn’t that she didn’t appreciate their concern, but it just wasn’t something she wanted to talk about. Neither of them knew about the fact that she was in love with her best friend Demi Lovato. Neither of them knew that she had told Demi about her feelings the night Demi had come back from her tour.
“Lena.”
Selena glanced up from the script that she was reading and found her youngest cast mate Jake T. Austin standing before her. She had stopped seeing him as a co-worker a long time ago. He was more like an adorable little brother.
“Hey Jake,” Selena said.
“I noticed you were kind of down,” Jake told her.
Selena mentally cringed as she had finally escaped the constant questions she was getting from David and Jennifer. Yet instead of questions Jake pulled a package of Reese’s and a jar of pickles from behind his back.
“I don’t like seeing you sad,” Jake admitted, “I thought this might help.”
Selena took the items from him and placed it onto the table. She grinned. If anyone could turn her frown upside down it was definitely Jake.
“Thanks,” Selena told him pulling him into a hug.
“Anytime,” Jake told her.
Selena was grateful for Jake. The questions seemed to stop completely once Jake had given her a snack pick me up. She got through the rest of the days filming without any problem. She was completely focused on her work. That was until she finally got back into her truck to head back to the hotel. It was then she realized that she was going to be hanging out with Destiny soon. She couldn’t understand why she was getting nervous. It wasn't as if she liked her the way she liked Demi. Or did she?
