Let Me Teach Ya (Nemi)

Future

Demi's POV

Hearing Nick say that my cysts were not cancerous made me ecstatic. I was so relieved, I wanted to cry. As I started to talk to Marissa, I noticed how quiet Nick was being. I figured it was just because he wasn't used to hanging out with other people. I didn't bother bringing it up, instead I just carried on with the night and enjoyed both of their company. Every so often the nurse would come in and check on me. She told me that visiting hours were ending at eight, but that they could come back tomorrow. I was sad to hear that Nick couldn't stay, but I was pretty exhausted so I knew I wouldn't be awake much longer.

As soon as it was eight o'clock, Marisa and Nick said their goodbyes to me. Nick told me that he would be back first thing in the morning, and it made me smile. He leaned down and kissed my lips, and before he walked out the door I made sure to stop him.

"Hey, babe," I said, trying to get his attention.

"Yah?" He said as he turned and looked over at me.

"I didn't get to say it earlier, but I love you, too," I said with an even bigger smile than before. Nick shifted his weight on his back foot, and headed back over towards me. He placed his hand on the side of my face, and brought his lips down to mine. He gave me a long, passionate kiss, which made me stir a bit, and before I knew it, he was heading back out the door. When everyone left my room, I pushed the button for my bed to recline, and before I knew it, I was out like a light.

I woke up the next morning to someone knocking on the door. I opened my eyes and saw Nick walking in with some white roses. I sat up a little, and smiled as I watched him set the vase of flowers down by my bedside. "How are you feeling today, babe?" He asked as he sat on the edge of my bed.

I shrugged my shoulders, "I am alright. A little sore, but I am feeling better now that you're here," I said as I reached over for his hand. I watched as he kissed my hand. God, I loved him. "So.. my parents should be here later tonight, so if you don't want to be here when they come, I understand. I know meeting the parents is a big deal," I said to him. Nick looked over at me quickly.

"Babe, I don't have an issue with meeting the parents. I told you that you are my future. That means I want to be apart of it all. I want to be here for the long haul. I shouldn't be worried now, should I?" Nick asked as he let out a soft chuckle.

I shook my head. "No," I said with a laugh, "There is nothing to be worried about. My parents will love you, well, my mom will love you! My dad can be a little overprotective. I am his 'baby girl'," I said as I rolled my eyes.

"I haven't met very many parents, but I'm sure that is normal for the dads to be protective of their daughters. I would probably be the same way if I had a little girl," I said to her. Demi looked at me and laughed.

"Wow, look who's getting soft!" I said, which caused Nick to laugh. Nick and I continued our small talk, and before we knew it Dr. Callaway was knocking on the door, and making himself present in the room.

"Dr. Callaway, Hi" I said, as I looked at at him. Nick got off of the bed, and took a seat over in the chair next to me.

"Demi, how are you feeling," he asked me as he walked over and set his folder down on the table next to my bedside.

"I am doing good. Like I was telling Nick, I feel sore today, but it's manageable," I said with a smile.

"Good to hear. Did your boyfriend here tell ya about the results?" Dr. Callaway asked as he looked over to Nick, who appeared to be looking distraught now. I gave him a weird look.

"He told me it's not cancerous, so that's good news," I said excitedly as I looked at everyone who was in the room. Nick wasn't smiling, and neither was the doctor. I felt myself becoming worried.
