Demi's POV

The next few days at the center have been a little wild. There have been more findings of beer in people's dorm rooms which isn't making any of the advisers happy. Specially Kate, she hates the fact that someone is ruining other people's chances of recovering and going home. I have realized something today that makes me a little happy. I realized that if someone brought in razors, that I probably would say no to taking one. 

Right now, i'm just waiting for Kate to come back while I play my guitar in our room. She said once she gets back, we can see the YouTube views and comments. I know there's gonna be hardly any since no one really knows about my YouTube account and that it's only been a week that its been up on-line, but I hope there is some. Kate said she already looked, I asked her what it turned out to be, but she just smiled and left.

I'm a little nervous, but excited. The last few days, I have been writing songs like crazy. I just feel very inspired. I have been working on this one that I think will be good for me to play, it's about overcoming all the people who have hurt me in the past. I'm still unsure of what to call it, but it's still in a working progress. Most of my songs though have been about Joe, he's just so easy to write about. Every time I think about him, a new different tune comes to mind. I love it. 

Kate walks in with her laptop with a smile on her face, I put my guitar down excited. She then sits beside me on the bed and says " You are going to be happy about this. " 

" Is it good? " I ask trying to look at the screen of the laptop but she quickly hides it leaving me confused. 

" Yes, let me tell you something first though before I show you. I tried to promote it as much as I could on different social networks so it would get a lot of views, and it worked. I've been working really hard for people to see it, so you are going to be a little surprised on the views that it has already. " She says with a grin. 

I look at the screen and my mouth drops, how the hell did Kate get me so many views in just a week? Like I guess its not really that many, but to me, having 41,513 views is a lot for only having the video up for a week.

" How did you get that many people to watch it in only a week? " I ask Kate with a smile on my face, she just chuckles before she answers.

" I have my ways Demi. " She says with a huge smile as well, she then continues pointing at the computer and saying " Look at the first comment. "

I look down at the screen and see that the first comment is by someone with the user-name @J0eIsAwes0me.

I laugh out loud at his user-name knowing that's just like him to call his that, I see what he writes letting a bigger smile come to me. It says Who is this girl? She's amazing! I think I'm in love ;)

" You have a funny one there. Don't let him go. " Kate says with a smile when she see's that I've read it.

" Trust me, I will never let him go. " I say smiling, then starting to look at the other comments that people have left.

@SarahL1056: I'm pretty amazed by this, you are great! I can't wait to see you on my I-Pod!

@JustinBieberForever20483: Great, now this song is gonna be stuck in my head for a long time. It's so good, I love it!

@XXSoccerXX: This girl is hot.

@AG123<3: Love this, I've watched it quite a few times now since I love the song and your voice:)

There's a lot more as well, I can't stop myself from smiling. I'm so happy about this. Of course, there are a few comments that are not the nicest, but all of the good comments make me forget about the negative ones. And if i'm gonna walk out of this center of only learning one thing, I want it to be that I don't give a shit anymore about what people think of me. As long as I have Joe and my friends, that's all that matters.

*****

The next few days, I check for new comments. There are some, and the views are rising too. Kate says I should put another song on there soon thinking it would be good for me. I told her that I don't want to jinx it though, what if people only liked Made in the USA. I have no idea if my other songs would be liked as well. I'm going to do it anyways, I think I like that people are hearing my voice.

Right now, I'm walking over to Miley's room to see if she want's to hang out. I haven't seen her in a few days, so I want to see how she's doing. I feel that I've grown closer to her, I'm defiantly going to miss her when I leave.

When I get to her door, I just knock on it lightly. I hear footsteps coming closer, Miley opens the door and smiles a weak smile when she sees me. She doesn't look that great, her eyes are red and tired.

" Is everything alright? " I ask hoping everything is okay. She just looks at me with sad eyes and I see tears start to escape. I lean in and hug her, she immediately starts to cry into my shoulder. I walk us both into her room and close the door behind us so we can have some privacy. I set her on her bed and sit next to her.

" What is it? " I ask wondering what happened. She sniffles trying to stop the tears, I give her a minute to collect herself before she talks.

" You know my boyfriend Liam? " She asks with sad tears still streaming down her cheeks.

" Yeah? " I say expecting the worse.

" Well he called me the other night telling me he slipped up, he said...he slept with another girl." She says starting to cry harder, I hug her again feeling bad for her. How could he do that to her?

" He's stupid Miley. You don't deserve that. " I say hoping it will cheer her up, it is true. She doesn't deserve the pain of having to be here and her boyfriend cheating on her.

" Well he told me it was the biggest mistake he's ever made...I just don't know what to think of him anymore. " She says wiping away tears with her hand.

" I would just give it some time, maybe your mind will be cleared then. " I say telling her what I would do, honestly though, I have no idea what I would do if Joe ever did that to me.

" Well I'm going to have plenty of time since I'm not leaving as early as I thought. " She says looking even sadder now.

" What do you mean? " I ask curiously, why would she be staying longer?

" Well when I found out what Liam did, I found the guy who is sneaking in alcohol and got drunk. My adviser caught me and said I have to stay longer. " She says surprising me.

" I'm so sorry Miles. "
