Hello, From the Other Side

Chapter 10

Joe

It was a long trip from Toledo to Philadelphia. This your went by so quickly, it really snuck up on me. This is the last show before the one in New York and that's my stop. I'll be going back home and I'm scared of how my relationship with demi will be affected.

Most of all, I'm scared for demi in general. I'm not necessarily scared that she'll cheat on me, I know she wouldn't. I'm scared for her health. For her well-being. I'm scared Barb is going to ruin her help and every shed of personality she has left.

"Good morning," demi said kissing my lips. "Good morning," I said back to her. She smiled at me and ate her breakfast. Barb wasn't here yet, so Demi snuck a couple pancakes.

I opened up my Twitter and saw my notifications had gotten blown up. I went to check some to see what happened. Did I get hacked?

There was a picture of demi and I kissing on the Ferris Wheel in Ohio. Everyone knew who I was too from the magazine company I work for. I wasn't sure if I should tell demi or not but in the end I decided I would.

Demi

I handed Joe back his phone. "Are you mad?" he asked. I shook my head. "No, I don't have anything to hide about you. I just am worried about your privacy," I told him. He smiled and kissed my cheek.

I didn't tell him but I really was scared of barb finding out. She's going to eat me up and spit me out. A little part of me just doesn't give a shit anymore though. I'm 22 years old and I can do whatever I want to. I don't need her permission to date anybody, especially just because he isn't as A-list as I am.

I went to a selfie on my phone of Joe and I that I'd taken while somewhere on tour and I posted it on instagram. No shame here, he's my guy. #mcm I posted the picture and immediately my feed started blowing up.

I sat down at the piano and started to play. "I love you guys so much," I said to my crowd. I looked at Joe backstage. "Joe come out here," I said into the microphone.

He looked at me weirdly so I got up and pulled him on stage. The crowd yelled and clapped as soon as they noticed who he was. I smiled at made him take a seat in the middle of the stage.

"Since this is our last show before you have to go home, I decided to sing a song for you. Thank you so much for coming into my life and thank you for everything that you do to make my life better. I'm so fortunate to have you and you're not only my boyfriend, but you're my best friend. And I'm going to miss you." I said kissing his cheek and going to the piano.

"If time was still
The sun would never never find us
We could light up
The sky tonight
I would see the world through your eyes
Leave it all behind

If it's you and me forever
If it's you and me right now
That'd be alright
Be alright
If we chase the stars to lose our shadows
Peter Pan and Wendy turned out fine
So won't you fly with me."
