I Hate You, Don't Leave Me ~ Nemi

Trick

DEMI P.O.V.:

Talking with Mike felt amazing for the first two weeks. He was interesting, handsome, funny and a complete gentleman. It wasn't an easy decision to ask him out but I needed to try.

From Demi to Mike ~ hey, if you're free tonight, would you like to go out with me? Just eat something and that...please let me know what you think about it x

I sighed loudly and glanced at Nick, who was some meters away playing the piano. He sent me a frown and I shrugged.

"What happened now?" He asked still glued to the piano.

"I asked Mike out." He stopped playing and looked at me with raised eyebrows.

"You did what?!" I sighed and covered my face with my hands.

"I know, that was so stupid, I should've never done that. He's so gonna reject me...too dumb Demi."

"N-no, I didn't mean it in that way. I was just surprised but I don't think he'll reject you." I glanced at him again and he nodded. "I mean it. Stop fricking out."

He stood up from the piano and headed to his bedroom silently. I was wondering if Nick was okay when my phone vibrated. I unlocked it and saw his text.

From Mike to Demi ~ tonight? Sounds like a plan. What about going to a chill restaurant? Or maybe a bar...I know you don't drink but we Could have fun either way.

I smiled and jumped a little.

From Demi to Mike ~ damn yes! I would love to, send me an adress and I'll meet you there tonight.

From Mike to Demi ~ okay, I will. See u tonight ;)

From Demi to Mike ~ see ya x

NICK P.O.V.:

I sighed loudly and grabbed my jacket before dialling Joe's number.

"Hello." He answered and I ran downstairs.

"I need your help, see you in ten minutes at yours. Bye." I hang up on him and found Demi was looking at me from the sofa with a frown.

"What's going on with you?"

"Uh, nothing." I grabbed my car keys and looked at her with a slight smile trying to look calm. "I'll be back later, have fun with tour boy..."

"Alright, thanks. Have fun you too." I nodded and left the house.

I drove to Joe's house as fast as I could and ran to the door once I was there. It didn't take too long for him to answer.

"I fucked up. I'm ruined." I said out of breath and his eyes opened widely. We walked into the house and he cleared his throat.

"So, did you get someone pregnant? Or killed someone?"

"No, it's even worse. I madre a fake dating apps' account to impress Demi so she wouldn't want to talk with real boys and of course it worked but now she has a date with Mike, and that means I'm fucked up cause I'm Mike but she can't find it out."

"Okay...let me just..." We walked to the kitchen, he handed me a beber and grabbed once for him before closing the door of the room. "Can you tell me why did you decide to do that to her?!" He practically yelled at me and I shrugged.

"I don't know, she talked about hanging out with boys from dating apps and I felt jealous so I made this perfecto man up and she liked it."

"What the fuck are you gonna do now?" He sighed and we sipped on our beers. "But...why did you say yes to the date?"

"I didn't want her to feel rejected." He chuckled.

"Awesome, now she's gonna be heart broken when he doesn't show up to the date."

"It doesn't have to be like that."

"Any good idea?"

"I could pay someone to fake being him."

"What?! No, you couldn't!" We both turned around to the sound of the voice and found Sophie with Willa in her arms at the door of the kitchen. "Yes, I heard everything cause you both are yelling."

"Tell me then, you're a woman...what should I do?"

"And you're stupidly dumb." She said before giving Willa to Joe. "You can't pay someone Nick, it's time for you to stop with this or it'll be worse in the future."

"But I don't wanna break her heart or make her hate me."

"I mean, she'd have a right in hating you." Joe said and I sighed glancing to the floor.

"It's either breaking her heart or telling the truth. You know what to do."

I nodded with a sigh. "She'll get over it, right? It's just another let down. Maybe it doesn't break her heart."

"What?!" They asked shocked and I shrugged.

"I can't risk losing her again for a lie. She'll move on from him but not from a lie. Mike won't show up and will stop texting her."

"Damn, I hope you're doing the right thing." Sophie said with a sigh. "You need to go to wherever she's going tonight and fake being there was a coincidente cause I'm sure She'll need someone to cheer her up after that asshole of Mike doesn't show up."

"It's a bar."

"A bar? Nick you must be the worst person in this world. You really sent Demi to get her heart broken to a bar? And alone? That could be fatal for her."

"Ugh yes, I know but I'll be there to stop anything bad from happening."

"And Joe will be there too cause as far as I can see...you're gonna make a thousand mistakes more if you go there on your own." We nodded and I kissed Willa's forehead softly.

"Hey baby." Joe glared at me. "What?"

"I knew you liked Demi, I told you so and you said it wasn't like that...care to explain what changed?"

"Nothing changed, I don't like her."

"Oh really? So you don't like her but thinking of her hanging out with another boy gets you jealous? Seriously? Stop lying." I rolled my eyes and shrugged.

"Fine, I may like her but that won't ever happen. She would never see me with other eyes, I'm just her best friend."

"I wouldn't either if you rather break my heart than telling me the truth." Sophie said and I knew she was right.

"I'm a horrible person, she doesn't deserve me anyways. Anyone is better than me."
