Let Me Teach Ya (Nemi)

Determined

Demi's POV

I stood there, staring at Nick, completely unsure of what to say. While everything processed through my head, I finally spoke up. "I guess Wilmer just doesn't know his own strengths," I said as I tried to laugh it off and then pulled the button out, so the elevator could start moving again. As soon as the elevator started moving, I heard Nick make a noise in disgust.

"Are you serious right now? You think that is funny, Demi?" Nick said as he made his way around, so that he was now standing right in front of me.

"What I think... is that this really is not any of your business," I spat out just as the elevator doors sprang open. Nick stared down at me without saying a word. I shook my head, abruptly moved around him, and quickly headed out of the building.

As soon as I got outside the building, I started to slow down, and made my way over to the taxi that was sitting along the curbside. I had the driver take me home. I was so worked up, and emotionally overwhelmed, I just needed to be alone right now.

When I got home, I threw my stuff down on the couch, and went straight to my room. I jumped back on the bed, and was reminded of how sore I was. I laid there, for a few minutes, just thinking about everything. Thinking about how hard it was to see Nick at JOCO, and about how hard it was to act like I didn't care about him. It was hard to pretend like I hated him, when really, I was deeply in love with the man. I shook my head when I felt the tears starting to form in my eyes. I sat up and looked over at the full length mirror that was propped up against the wall. I wonder if my back was really all bruised or if Nick was exaggerating. I stood up, took off my shirt, and stood in front of the mirror. I stared at my body for a few seconds and then turned around and looked over my shoulder, and into the mirror. There I saw my back with multiple bruises and scratches that ran in which ever direction. I closed my eyes as I took myself back to when Wilmer was behind me, clawing, and grabbing my hair. Remembering the things that Wilmer did to me last night, made me feelings warm and made my mouth water. I wasn't scared or worried about what my back looked like, because truth be told, I experienced something that was so indescribable last night. Something that was wild and crazy and just down right fun! I was drawn to the high that it gave me, and I wasn't sure if it would be the last time that it happened.

After examining my body, and being reminded of my hot s.ex with Wilmer, I immediately put on my shirt, and then just hung out around the house for the remainder of the afternoon. My meeting with my new boss went incredibly well, and she was wanting me to start first thing tomorrow. I was feeling a little bittersweet about the new job. I was thrilled that I was able to get in so quickly with someone else, and I was so happy that I wasn't going to have to see Nick every second of the day, but I was also feeling a little sad and uneasy. The more I thought about it, the more saddened I became of my new reality. I was no longer working for Nick. It was no longer, Nick and I. I think what hurts the most is that it wasn't anything that Nick and I lacked, that tore us apart, but it was the fact that he wanted something more with someone else. I wasn't good enough for him, and I had to suffer the consequences. I had to suffer the broken heart. I had to suffer the changes.

All night, I had random thoughts run through my head. I had thoughts about Wilmer, and some about Nick. I had thoughts about work, about my family, and about my friends. I tried so hard to just sit and relax and try not to think of anything, but when you are left alone, with nobody to talk to, that's kind of where your mind goes. Eventually, when the night started to come to an end, so did my brain. Once I was all showered and ready for bed, I laid down, and closed my eyes. The thoughts soon began to stop, and soon enough, I was left with the most peaceful thoughts of all, my dreams.

When the sun soon came through my curtains, I knew that it was time to get up. I rolled over and quickly got out of bed. I spent the next hour getting ready for work today, and I made sure I was wearing something hot, incase I ran into Nick. I needed to show him what he was missing.
