Love is Louder (Sequel to Addiction) A Jemi fanfic

Chapter 26: Special News

Demi's POV

We get in the golf cart to drive to the trail we're hiking up this morning, I yawn seeing the sun through the silhouette's of the trees. The weather is perfect right now, there's no chilly breeze of blazing air to bug us. it feels just right, Kate said it was perfect for today. She still hasn't given me any hint of what this ' Special News ' is which is driving me insane. 

The last time she gave me big news, was when she said Joe could visit. So I have no idea if he's visiting again or something else. I just hope it's good news, if it wasn't, my excitement is being waisted right now. I'm also a little scared though about this news, what if it's something that I won't like? 

I just try to think of other things to make the time go by faster,  it isn't helping that much though. The trail we're going to hike today seems more out of the treatment center's area. This is probably the longest drive we have had to get to a trail, I hope it's different than all of the other trails we've hiked. I'm getting just a bit bored of those since we've hiked them so much. 

When arriving to the trail, we park the golf cart and grab our stuff to start heading up. I look over at Kate with a smile, she just laughs.

" I'm not telling you until we reach the top. " She says making my smile drop, we then start to hike up this trail. The trail is lined with beautiful flowers that I haven't seen around here before. It's defiantly a gorgeous hike, I'm glad we're hiking this one today. 

After an hour of hiking, we finally reach the top which has a pond and small waterfall. It's one of the most beautiful outdoor sights that i've ever seen. There's small flowers surrounding us which makes our noses filled with their pleasurable scent. The water from in the pond is a super clear blue which stands out so beautifully against the flowers and the grass. The sun is shining just perfectly to make the water sparkle, this place is amazing.

" Kate why haven't we been before? It's breathtaking. " I say unable to keep my eyes from traveling all around. 

" This place is special, a client at the treatment center gets to come here only once. " She says setting her stuff down by a huge rock by the water, which she then sits on. 

" Why only once? " I ask curiously, I go sit by her on the big rock looking down at the pond which has a few little fish in it. 

" Because, coming here is an award...a goodbye privilege. " She says with a sad smile, I look at her in shock. Does that mean I get to go home? 

" I'm going home? " I ask with a huge smile, I can feel a lump in my throat start to form. I'm going to be with Joe again.

" Yes. You're going to fly back in thirteen days, all you have to do is pass your finale test and then I'll graduate you. Then you can go. " She says giving me a side hug, I can't believe this is actually happening.

" Thank you so much Kate. " I say feeling the first tear drop, I'm so happy right now. This all is just so unbelievable.

" Demi, you know you're so beautiful right? " She asks looking me in the eyes in a motherly way, I just nod my head truthfully. I've never felt so beautiful in my whole life. 

" You also know that you don't have to harm or starve yourself to feel beautiful? " She asks with all seriousness.

" Yes. Thank you for making me realize that. " I say hugging her knowing that i'm going to miss her, she's almost like my mom. We've gotten really close since i've been here.

" You're welcome Demi. You just make sure to stay strong for me, I don't ever want to see you back at this treatment center again. Well unless you're visiting. " She says with a smile as we release our hug, I smile back and we watch the water for a while. Thirteen days, I'm going to see Joe. I seriously can't believe this. 

It's insane that I actually made it, a few months ago, I could of sworn that I was never going to get to leave. It's all because of Kate and Joe though, their support has defiantly inspired me to stay strong. I can't wait to tell Joe about this, he will be so excited. 

When we leave, I take a mental picture of this place so I can remember what it looks like. I can't help but smile so wide when we hike down the trail. I don't even know how to handle the excitement.
