The Way You Don't Look At Me

Chapter 26 - The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

It's been about three weeks since Demi left for tour. We talked here and there, but not as much as I'd like.

A month and a half until she's back and it feels like I'm just counting down the days at this point.

Today I was feeling extra lonely and sad that she was gone so I decided to post one of the first photos demi and I had ever taken.

@jaderivers: missing you a little extra today.

After a couple of minutes of scrolling through my feed I saw that Demi commented on my post.

@ddlovato: i love you

Almost instantly after that comment was received I got a text from Demi.

Demi🦋: I hope you're having a good day today. I've been missing you a lot today, too. We just got to stick it out for a little longer. I love you.

I smiled at the text, and then began to type my response.

Me: I love you more. Kick ass tonight and I'll talk to you soon.

After getting that message, my day began to look up. Filming for the movie was taking longer than expected, and shooting was extended for a couple of more weeks, so I'll be finishing around the time Demi is done with tour. Which I guess in a way works out, because it'll at least keep me distracted.

Waking up the next day, I checked my phone and saw some messages that caught my attention.

Julie: check tmz.

Mark: you should check your notifs

Confused, I went to Twitter. And my eyes went wide at the headlines.

"Trouble in Paradise? Demi Lovato Preforms New Song At Concert That Might Just Be About Girlfriend Jade Rivers"

"Did Demi Lovato And Jade Rivers Split Up? New Song By Demi Points To Yes."

"New Song By Demi Lovato 'The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.' Written About Jade Rivers?"

I tried to wrap my head around what I was reading. After some scrolling I had found a video of the new song demi had preformed when I assume to be last night.

"This song I'm about to play is new, and I didn't want to keep it to myself anymore. I wanted to share it with you all. I hope you enjoy it."

"I'll take your pain. I'll take your tears. Your intentional cruelty, your irrational fears. Your unstable moods, your unkind remarks. Your insensitive words, that could cut through my heart. I'll take it all and still accept you. I want it all, all that you are"

"I'll take the good, the bad, the ugly. I'll take your words, your best, there's nothing. That I don't see in you that's something. I want it all. I want it all."

"I want your angst. I want your crazy, your emotional baggage, and how crazy it makes me. I want your trouble, I want your sins. I don't care what you do, I will always forgive. I'll take it all, and still respect you. And still want more, want more of this."

"I'll take the good, the bad, the ugly. I'll take your words, your best, there's nothing. That I won't  see in you that's something. I want it all. I want it all."

"And all I ask of you, is that you feel the same. I need to hear you say it. Please say.... You'll take the good, the bad, the ugly. You'll take my worst, my best, there's nothing. That you won't see in me that's something. You want it all. You want it all."

"I'll take the good, the bad, the ugly. I'll take your words, your best, there's nothing. That I don't see in you that's something. I want it all. I want it all."
