Demi's camp getaway

Chapter 16

Broken promises

Demi's POV
"Hey babe I missed you!" Noah smiled widely walking up to Hayley kissing her on the cheek then embracing her in a hug.
Hayley looked over at me and I didn't even try to hide my Fury.
"What??, what the hell is going on?" I shouted looking at them completely unimpressed "oh didn't Hayley tell you?" Noah smirked at me evilly. "Tell me what?" I said grinding my teeth. "Hayley is my girlfriend" Noah smiled amused pulling her closer to him.
I looked back and forth between them in utter shock waiting for someone to break the silence. "I was going to tell you Demi" Hayley admitted.
"You made me a promise, Hayley"
I stuttered taking a deep breath.
"What promise?" Noah demanded looking at Hayley, there was another moment of silence "I promised her that I would tell her if I got a boyfriend" Hayley lied. "Oh" Noah said turning to look at me "calm down Demi, it hasn't even been 24 hours" Noah smiled. I looked at Hayley in disbelief. There's nothing I can do, if Hayley wants to be with Noah then I can't physically do anything, all I can do is protect her and hope it doesn't work out and she calls it off herself, I wanted to yell, and kick and scream, I wanted to jump on top of Noah and repeatedly punch he's smart ass face until he was unconscious, but of course, I couldn't do that, I felt betrayed "Okay, well. Congratulations you too. I have work to do. I'll see you later Hayley" I tried to say calmly as if nothing was wrong then turned around and walked away with angry tears filling my eyes.

When I returned to our lobby I ran into Nick and everyone else just getting back from their activity "hey Demi, how did the appointment go? We're sad you missed out on Canoeing" He said closing the door behind the last kid walking in "yeh it went fine I suppose, we'll go back in a couple weeks for another check up and should be alright, how are the kids? Did they enjoy the activity? Everyone getting along okay?" I fake smiled, he gave me a questionable look "hmm somethings wrong, what's up?" He asked, of course Nick would notice something was up and there was no point in trying to lie to him "I'm just having trouble with Noah" I whispered, a look of horror crossed he's face "what's he done??" He asked getting protective "no no nothing, well, yeh I guess he hasn't really done anything wrong" I trialed off a little embarrassed "but?" Nick questioned. I took a deep breath "he's dating someone from our group and-" I started "whoa whoa, our group? He's 19, is that even legal?" Nick almost shouted, we were interrupted by our phones beeping. "Our next activity is ready but we will definitely finish this conversation later" Nick reassured me and I gave him a nodd and a smile "okay every body we have 10 minutes till zip lining! So Fill your water bottles go to the bathroom do what ever you need to do then meet back here so we can head off!" Nick announced, some kids went to their rooms and some stayed and waited, excited laughter and chatting filled the room and I looked over to see Hayley with her friends walking back to their room, "you guys go I'll wait out here" Hayley said to a girl with long dark braids "okay will be quick!" They responded.
"Hey.. Demi, can we talk?" Hayley asked running over to me. I didn't know how to play this out. I was hurt, angry and upset and I wanted her to know how she made me feel but I also know that she's been through a lot and I don't want to get angry with her and ruin any relationship we have left. "Yes" I smiled professionally. "Look" she started, looking down at her feet. "I never meant to break our promise. I understand why you think he's a bad guy. But I can look after myself, and I said yes to him before I knew what happened, I'm sorry." She apologised. I thought about it for minute and responded "you don't have to apologise. You are old enough to make your own decisions, I'm glad your happy" i turned to walk away but she grabbed my arm, we locked eyes for a moment as I was trying to read her emotions, her small blue eyes, the whites of her eyes red from crying, every freckle perfectly in its place, a concerned look on her face, "are you mad at me?" She whined. My heart broke hearing those words, she looked scared, I took a deep breath, "we'll talk about this later" I spoke calmly shaking her hand off me, I need to be professional. The look on her face when I walked away made my heart break more.
