Ricky's POV

Never knew how much I hated being here, like seriously I hate it. Well you hate it when you're here but then when you get out you're totally grateful. But right now... I fuckin hate it and I wanna get out. Right now I'm just lay in my room throwing a ball up against the wall in sheer boredom. I've had my session with my shrink in here, yes they do that thing where they sit there and ask you "So how does that make you feel?". It's pointless. There's too much that goes through your mind when you're on your own for so long, like, why am I here? Where the fuck did I go wrong? I'm back in treatment I must be fucked up in some way right? Why the hell would Demi ever want me back.. I've screwed this up so much.. She's never gonna want me back now is she.

"Rick? You have a visitor" - My nurse said to me from the doorway.

"Tell them to fuck off I don't wanna see anyone" - I said dryly as I continued to throw the ball back against the wall.

"Not even me Rick?" - I let the ball bounce to the floor and I turned my head slowly to the side to her stood in the doorway.

"Demi..." - I said quietly as I kept my eyes fixated on her.

"I'll leave you two" - My nurse said as she left Demi in the doorway.

"Can I come in?" - She said quietly as I sat up and gestured to my bed, I kept my eyesight down on the floor as she came and sat next to me. Silence is golden... This is well.. Awkward. We've never had an awkward moment before... Why now?

"Rick I just wanna say I'm sorry I shouldn't have put you in here" - I just bought my head up, ran a hand through my matted hair and stroked my thin beard that was growing on my face. Yeah it doesn't take me long to grow a beard so I've got this Zac Efron thing going on.

"Demi stop please..  because it's only gonna bring me down.. I'm here because of me not you" "But Rick what happened between us must have affected yo-"

"No Demi!!" - I said raising my voice as I got up off the bed onto my feet. "I'm just saying-"

"Well don't just say! It's not gonna help anything!" - I said slamming my fists against the wall resting my head against it. I stayed resting my head against the wall with my eyes shut for a few minutes until I felt Demi's arms hesitantly slide around my waist and rest her head on my shoulder.

"Rick.. please just listen to me.. I'm here and you know I am.. I always will be.. I know things between us have been rough but I made a mistake and I know that now.. I should've believed you that you never meant to sleep with her and that it was a drunken mistake.. I never ever meant to hurt you" - She said in a low voice as she traced circles around my waist with her fingers. I took a deep breath and turned around resting my back against the wall so I could see into Demi's eyes for the first time in ages. Hurt. That's all I could see in them.

I hesitantly put my hands around her waist and saw her eyesight drop and her breath hitch in her throat. Shit I forgot about my sleeves. I just stood there paralyzed as Demi pulled my sleeves up and took my right hand in hers and bought it up to her mouth and gently pressed her lips against my cuts. As she took my other wrist in her hand and gently kissed it she looked up at me into my eyes and started singing gently.

I kissed the scars on your skin

I still think you're beautiful

And I don't ever wanna lose my best friend

I was just frozen I couldn't move at all everything that was going on was overwhelming, she kept leaving small kisses on my wrists, when she looked up I looked straight back into her eyes and gently pulled my hand away from her grip. She looked down and back up with sadness in her eyes as if what I was doing was a bad thing, I placed my thumb under her chin and slowly moved in, taking her bottom lip in-between mine. I felt her arms wrap around my neck as she sunk into the kiss, I dropped my hands to her waist and kept them there as she started waking backwards towards the bed.  

I turned around just in time for her to push me down onto the bed slightly before putting both legs either side of me. I have Demi Lovato straddling me who wouldn't want to be me right now?! She flipped her hair outta the way and leaned down pressing her lips against mine again in another soft but tender kiss. I kept my hands on her waist to holding her close to me as her hands came up and rested either side of my neck. God I've missed these lips, her body pressed against mine and her gentle touch. I went to move my hands down her waist when my door swung open.

"Rick ar- oh.. Afraid to inform you that Demi your visiting times over" - Fucking hell are you kidding me?!!? It was just getting good!! Stupid bitch. Demi let out a small laugh she climbed off me and headed towards the door, she turned around and flashed me a smile and a wink before heading out the door.  

And just like that she was gone again.
