Can You Be My Nightingale? (Demi Lovato/Lesbian fanfic)

Chapter 7: Moving Out

I woke up the next morning with about 100 texts from Sam. Mostly about all the buzz on twitter, or the fact I'm dating Demi. I didn't think the news would travel as fast as it did. The house was silent, well except for my phone vibrating off the hook. I'm pretty sure Demi is still asleep, so I didn't wanna take the chance, and wake her up.

***

About an hour went by of me just thinking. I heard a light knock on my door.

"Mack can I come in?"Demi said softly.

I didn't reply, so hopefully she would just walk in, and she did. I had my eyes shut just so she thought I was sleeping. I wasn't sure how early it was, but it must have been early since there was no light shining through the window. She put her head on my shoulder, soft enough that I could barely feel it. She was silent for a few minutes, just softly tracing circles on my hand with her thumb.

"Mack"She whispered in my ear.

"Yes Demi."

"Can I sleep here."

"Sure. I was just about to get up."

As I went to stand up she wrapped her arm around my waist, and pulled me back.

"No. I want you to stay."

I couldn't refuse the offer.

"Okay."

I could barely speak. I was surprised. I slowly fell back to sleep

***

As I started to wake up again, she was laying in my arms with her head on my chest. The sunlight barely hit her face, but from what I could see she looked so perfect. I could lay her forever. About 5 minutes later my phone rang.

"When are you coming home sweetie?"

It was my mom and I didn't know what to say.

"I will be getting my stuff later. Demi will be coming with to help me get all my stuff." I had hoped she understood what I meant. I didn't wanna have to explain it all too her.

"Your father will be home soon, and he isn't too happy. So you better come soon."She seemed scared. I wasn't sure why either.

"Alright mom thank you. Are you okay?"

I was extremely worried about her. I then heard the phone click, before I even got a response. I knew I was gonna have to go now. I didn't wanna wake Demi up so I called a cab.

***

I arrived at my house shortly after. I knocked on the front door, and waited to be let in. Mom came and opened the door for me, and happily let me in.

"Get what you need, and then hurry up and go. Don't ask questions. Just please do it. I sat suitcases on your bed."

I didn't know how to respond, so I ran upstairs, and began to pack. I never quite realized how much stuff I had until I had begun packing stuff

***

My stuff was almost packed, and then my door opened. I thought maybe it was my mom, or maybe Demi woke up and decided to come. I was wrong...

"I see you decided to come back"

I froze. I went to turn around, and respond but before I knew It I was on the ground. A sharp pain shot through my jaw.
