Demi POV
A few hours later I woke up in Justin's arms. I sighed. I was happy he came but I still didn't plan on telling him my secret. He would be so worried about me instead of focusing on his career. I couldn't let that happen. I slipped out of his arms and went to take the pills the doctor prescribed me. When I walked back in Justin was still sleep. I smiled. He looked so peaceful. I went downstairs and fixed me a sandwich. I really need to think about my situation. What was I going to do? I slumped my shoulders. I felt like there was nothing I could do about. Well lets face it there IS nothing I can do about it. I need support. But from who? I can't tell Justin. Me and selena are no longer friends. And before we even dated Nick was a close friend, but I can't go to him either. I decided to go for a walk. I went to the park that was a five minute walk from my house. I walked along the parks trail with my head down. I was lost in my thoughts when I bumped into somebody. I mumbled sorry and started to walk away when they called my name. I knew that voice to well. I turned and saw the last person I expected to bump into.
Justin POV
I woke up and realised that Demi wasn't by my side. I sat up confused where could she have gone. I went downstairs and found a half eaten sandwich on the table. I looked at it confused. I pulled out my phone and typed in her number only to hear her phone ring from upstairs. I hung up frustrated. Why would she leave her phone? I started to panic. What if something happened to her? I walked out of the house and looked for any sign of her. I walked through the neighborhood and came across the park we used to play at. I was about to keep walking when something caught my eye. As I got closer I knew I wasn't mistaken. I saw Demi and him together sitting on a bench. He said something and she laughed. First time I seen her laugh in awhile. So this is why she left me. She left me to meet him. I felt betrayed. Here I was trying to help her and here she was laughing with him as if she didn't have a care in the world. I wasn't going to let this slide either.
Demi POV
"Remember that time when you just finished getting your hair done and Kevin ran by accidentally knocking you into the pond?" I busted out laughing
"Oh my gosh yes. I was so mad" I looked at Joe grateful that he could make me laugh while I was feeling so sad. It felt good to forget about my problems for even just a second. Truth be told I missed Joe and the rest of the Jonas family but Nick had to ruin it. At first when I bumped into Joe a couple of minutes ago it was awkward because I remember he used to have a crush on me. But that was quickly forgotten as he told me he was in a relationship. I looked down at the time and realised I've been gone for half an hour.
"Well Joe its getting late and I have to get back to Justin" as soon as I said that a voice came from behind us.
"Oh no need to because Justin's already here" I turned and saw Justin staring at me and Joe. I swallowed a lump in my throat knowing how this must look.
"Justin its not-" he cut me off
"I know Demi its not what it looks like. But what it looks like to me is that you disappeared right after crying your heart to meet him"
"Justin I-" he cut me off again
"Is that why you said sorry? Because you were cheating on me with him?" Joe held his hands up
"Whoa whoa dude I just-" Joe started
"Oh shut up we all knew you has a crush on her. But I thought we were bros"
"We are man. I-" Joe started again but this time I interrupted him.
"Justin I went for a walk and bumped into him" Justin scoffed
"Sure you did. Demi I'm guessing you don't understand how this looks. You-"
"I understand perfectly how this loo-"
"Let me finish. You-"
"Why should I! You haven't let me finish or explain" I said clenching my fists. I was angry now. He wouldn't even let me explain.
"Because of how this looks. Of how this is hurting me. You don't answer my-"
"Justin will you shut the fuck up and let me explain. Jeez if I didn't know any better I would say you are treating me exactly how Nick did" as soon as the words came out my mouth I instantly wished I could take them back. I saw how what I said hurt him.
"Justin I-I didn't-"
"Nope you said exactly how you felt. I guess I act too much like Nick for this relationship to work. Even though I would never think about laying a hand on you" Justin said and then walked away. I felt horrible. I can't believe I said that. He was right he would never hurt me. But Nick would and he was about to before Justin stepped in. I ran after Justin. I made it to him just as he was about to get in his car. I grabbed his arm to stop him.
"Justin I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that I was frustrated and I-"
"I don't understand you Demi. I offer to be right by your side through whatever you're going through and I comforted you while you were crying and couldn't stop and then you disappear and I'm worried sick about you only to find you perfectly fine on a bench in the park laughing with an old crush" he shook his head again as if he still couldn't believe it. I grabbed his head and forced him to look at me.
"Justin I bumped into him. I went for a walk to clear my head and I bumped into him. That's it. I didn't go to meet him. And I only stayed and talked to him because he made me forget about my problems even if it was just for a minute . I know that sounds bad as if I don't think you could do it. Its just that I'm scared to be around you with my problem. I don't want it to ruin your career by you worrying about me" he shook his head again
"Demi that's what I'm suppose to do. I'm suppose to worry about you. That's what people do when they love someone . So just tell me Demi" I took a deep breath I knew he was right. Maybe I could tell him
"Justin I'm...... I have...I..you"
