*Laura's POV*

Back in New York, I drove home. Still with a bad feeling in my stomach. I unpacked and started my laptop. Opened my notes from the interview, which I made on the plan. And began to write...

Well, there wasn't really much I could write, since our interviews were more of a flop. I tought, the faster I would finish that article, the better to end up that topic. Well one part of me wanted that. The other one would immediately have called Demi after I saw her message with our pics on my phone after the landing. That was like the best meetup I had in a long time if I hadn't found that little package. That changed everything. I wrote the first couple of lines. Then I search for some radio interviews she gave about her new Album, to get some more answers to some questions, it didn't want to ask her. I know what is that a young journalist, who wants to be that professional and then steals from other interviews. I didn't want to do that, but without them I couldn't write a whole article. What would result, is that I might lose my job or at least disappoint my boss or even Demi?

Demi Lovato on her new album, being a survivor and what she learned through that hard time By Laura Jean Smith

In her first interview with TIME magazine, she opened up about her new album and why she shared that whole process with her fans.

Demi spoke in an exclusive interview with TIME- 'Today's star' editor-in-chief Laura Smith last weekend in Los Angeles about how her journey influenced her current album.

"My intention behind that documentary is, to tell the world and especially my fans: please ask for help, don't think that you have to do it all on your own. And that you can do everything you want, even when you're at the deepest point in your life." - by that she meant her fantastic appearance at the Grammys and her singing the national anthem at the Superbowl, which was one of her biggest dreams of her since she was a child. .... At the end of our interview, Demi revealed her favorite songs of the album "Well, I love them all, but my most favorite ones are 'The way you don't look at me' and 'The kind of lover I am'." Also, she said: "At the moment, there isn't a big tour planned, except some concerts in the US and some appearances on a few line ups at festivals. I'm going to play one in three weeks in New York! "; What a strong and inspiring woman to all of us. To clarify that, here is a quote she once said - "I used to think that confidence came from what other people thought about me and boys and everything else. But now I realize that confidence comes from what I feel about myself and reassuring myself that I can do whatever I want and be whoever I want. Just knowing and setting up my future for a great life."

After I finished writing the article, I wasn't really happy with it, but couldn't write anything either. I safe it and shut my computer down. It was almost 2 am and I had to be in the office at like 8 am, so I went to bed and looked through Instagram before I fall asleep.

*One week later*

My boss liked my article that much, well he liked the response from our readers and statistics, that he promised me, that I have to do such articles only until the end of the year and then getting shifted to another department. I finally had done it, to get out of that departure, although the article wasn't that good. I also send the article to Demi and her assistant, but I just got a response from Jordan with a Go for publishing it. A few days ago I wrote Demi a couple of messages, but without any response. Well, I wasn't that wrong with my first opinion of her. She was so upset that I was leaving earlier, but then she does not respond to my messages... I get that, that she has a lot to do with her music and stuff, but I mean she got time to post random stories and posts on Instagram. Well, I think that's normal for people like her, when you're with them they play a role, being nice to you and playing that they like you, but when you left, they don't even know your name anymore.

* Two more weeks later*

I was working on a new article about Taylor Swift, her beginning with country music and her switch to pop and the huge success it came with that, as I got an email from Jordan.

Hey Laura!

Hope you're doing well! Demi would like to invite you to her concert on Friday in the Barclays Center. Please just reply till Thursday evening, so I can reserve you some tickets. You can also bring some friends if you want!

Best regards

Jordan Jackson, Personal Assistant of Demi Lovato ________________________________________

Oh, that was unexpected. She does remember me. Who would have thought that? Well, a little part of me had hopes on that.

I called Aurora on face time. "Hi, LJ! What's up? "- "Hi, something happened. I just got an email, from Demi's assistant. She is inviting me to her concert on Friday. What should I do? You know what happened in LA. On the one hand, I would love to see her again plus I can give her the clothes back. But on the other hand, I don't want people like her, who deal with drug use, in my life. Please help me, Aury. I'm in a dilemma. And on top of that, I hate decisions." - "Okay honey, calm down. We will figure that out. Together. So first of all, would you go I you haven't found the cocaine in her car." - "Well, yes of course. She was so nice to me... and is very attractive. And ofc there is her amazing voice too." - "Did you ask her about it? "- "No." - "So, you don't even know if it was really hers. Or was her name on it?" - "No of course not! But who else should it belong to!" - "I don't know, maybe it was just the rest of one of her old hiding places and she just forgot to throw it away. Or it belongs to a friend of hers or even to one of her team." - "Yeah, that could be possible. So, you mean I should go and see her again?" - "If I were by your side, I would. Just because of that amazing concert. Other people pay for those tickets 80 bugs or what. And it is just a plus if your hang out afterward. Don't be dumb. Live your life. What can happen, expect that you fall in love with her. Hahaha. Otherwise, you can always drop her afterward!" - "Not funny! But your right, I should go! Oh, and by the way, I can bring some friends. So, if Rose, Sam, and you want to come too?" - "Wait, are you joking right now?" - "Hahaha, no for real! So do you want to come? xD" - "Yes, of course, I want to come. You know exactly, how much I love her music and Sam does too. And when I'm going, then Rose will too. She would never let me go alone to a Demi Lovato concert. Hahaha! That's going to be a great evening. Trust me!"- "Okay if you say so! But, I almost thought so! I will answer right away! So, I have to get back to work! See you later Aury!" - "See ya LJ!"

And I replied to Jordan's Email.

Hi Jordan,

That is such nice of Demi! I would love to come to her concert with three of my friends if that's possible.

Thanks in advance

A half an hour I got a second email with 4 tickets attached. And with a request. 'Please come after the show to the backstage area. Someone will pick you up there. You can also bring your friends with you!'
