The Journey to You | D.L.

4.

Nicks POV:
I was so proud to be a part of this family. Not just the Jonas family, but the family that's formed over the past few years. Demi and her family became really close with ours. And I would never change that for the world.

One day when we get married It'll be worth it because everyone will already know and love each other. I know we are only 16, but I also know that Demi is my soulmate. I know we are going to last forever, and one day she will be my wife.

And we will have adorable children, but hopefully they look more like Demi because she has the better genes.

i was the most proud boyfriend watching her tell her truth and watching her walk away from not only our team, but the fact that she knew they were the ones who helped her get famous. and who knew how quick they could take that away.

Even though we no longer had a manager, we still had our wardrobe, hair, and make up team. We had to get ready for our interview so we went to wardrobe to get on our outfits. After we were dressed we went to hair and makeup. i sat next to Demi and held her hand. i could feel how anxious she was after everything that happened and we still had an interview and a show to do tonight.

Demi's POV:
my anxiety was at an all time high, yet there was still a sense of calmness that took over some of those thoughts. i knew i needed to get better. i had for a long time. i just didn't know it was going to happen this soon. after we were done getting ready, Nick and I got in the back of the black Suburban and my mom followed us in one right behind us with Nicks mom.

the boys and Eddie, as well as Kevin Sr. had to go prep for our show tonight. I cuddled up next to Nick and laid my head on his chest feeling his heartbeat, that was extremely calming to feel. he held me tight against him and played with my hair.

Max, my head of security, was the one driving us to our interview. I hadn't paid enough attention to know what show we were going to be on, but I didn't care about anything other than my perfect boyfriend in that moment.

"Hey Dems" his voice was so deep and calming it made my heart swell.

"Yeah Babe?"

"I just wanted to say that i am so proud of you and you are doing amazing. I am going to help you through this and your mom will too. please don't give up. you are a warrior." god.. with every word he says i fall in love with him all over again. i truly don't deserve him.

We got to our destination and I could tell just by what the area looked like, what show we were going on. It was Ellen!!

Nicks POV:
we were on in 20 minutes. we were going to answer questions mainly about how tour had gone, and how the whole experience has been. tonight was our last show, and we got to be in LA for it. we came back a few days ago, and had been staying in a hotel. after the show tonight we could go back to our normal schedules before tour.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard Ellen, introduce us on stage. I was first, but gave Demi's hand a comfort squeeze before i walked on. It was really a surreal moment. I walked in and hugged Ellen and sat down in one of the Chairs. She then welcomed on my beautiful but secret girlfriend. She did exactly what I did.

The time flew by, and I hadn't even realized by the time it was over. that was one thing i really enjoy about Ellen. she was sweet and really interested in what we had to say.

Demi's POV:
I can tell that Nick really enjoyed everything. I enjoyed it all, I was still just very anxious. I was really craving to just run off stage, grab my pills and take a few.

But I knew I couldn't. I had to stay strong, no matter how hard it got.

After we were done with the interview, I talked with Nick and we decided that we were going to go to my house. I asked Max to take us and my mom came home with us.

"Dems, we need to start the process now instead of later. I need you to cooperate and work as hard as you can because if you don't... i will have to ask for professional help, and i know you don't want me to do that." my mom told me. she was almost always honest with me, and i could tell she was being serious.

"Ok. I will try, I promise." I knew it was dumb to promise on things, but if I didn't I knew I wouldn't take it as seriously.

"We first need to go through your room and bathroom and anywhere else you might have something stashed. We need to get rid of all of it."

Damn it. I knew this was going to happen, I just didn't know it would happen this soon. what would she think when she finds my drugs, and sees that i am just like my dad? i always told myself that i never would be, but here I am. This is no longer cute. this is no longer fun. And I am just like my dad.

I would drink Vodka out of sprite bottles and sneak drugs everywhere. Back stage, Hotels, even Airplanes. It hit me then thinking of all of this. I need support to get through this, I can't do it alone.

"Have you told Eddie yet?" I asked my mom. her response was a simple nod. it was followed by words I knew were coming but I hoped they wouldn't.

"He is on a plane here, and he knows everything as do I. Demetria we know that you have an Eating Disorder. We know you self-harm. And we know about the drugs and alcohol. We aren't mad, just sad we didn't notice sooner. I am so sorry babygirl. But we are going to get you through this right?" at this point I was sobbing into my pillow with her rubbing my back and Nick sitting next to me holding my hand.

I didn't care anymore about secrets because all of them were out. I sat up and started kissing him passionately. Soon enough he pulled away and looked at my mom.

All she said was, "And we know about that too." and we all started laughing.

It was amazing to know I wasn't alone no matter what my demons told me. and that I was going to be ok, as long as they were by my side. I felt something I hadn't felt in a long time. Strength. <3
