RECAP:

"You did an excellent job. Best performance I heard today." My uncle patted his back.

"Thank you so much, Jerry."

"It was so good, I want to offer you a record deal."

Justin's POV

"Justin."

"Justin, are you okay?"

I was so woozy. I open my eyes and all eyes were on me.

"Wha-What happened?" I looked at everyone confused.

"Well, my uncle offered you a record deal and you fainted." Demi spoke up.

"Oh." I said, as one of Jerry's bodyguards helped me up.

"So, what do you say? Are you in?" Jerry asked, hoping I would say yes.

"Uhh, I'm going to have to think about it." I lightly smiled.

"Well it's alright, take all the time you need. Demi's got my number if you want to talk business." He shook my hand as he left the store.

Demi's POV

The car ride back was silent. Justin say a word to me the whole time.

"Justin, what's wrong?" I asked concerned.

"Nothing." He mumbled.

"Why didn't you take the offer? It would open so much doors for you. I mean, getting awards, hitting red carpets and let's not forget the huge stacks we'd be getting. You sh-"

"HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT I THINK? I FEEL LIKE YOU'RE JUST DOING THIS FOR YOURSELF." Justin interrupted.

"Justin I-"

"NO. BECAUSE IT'S ALL ABOUT DEMI IS IT?" He scoffed heading upstairs to the bathroom.

I definitely messed up this time.

------------

Justin's POV

I headed upstairs to the bathroom. I needed time to think.

Don't be mad at Demi. She was only trying to help you.

She didn't help at all. She was being a selfish bitch.

"STOP!" I yelled at the voices in my head.

I mean, a record deal would be sick, but I can't leave my gang. They were my family ever since I left my own. They were there since day one. I can't just leave them after everything they've done for me.

I stood there. Staring at myself in the mirror. I heard a light knock at the door. I opened the door to see a sad Demi.

"Um, I just wanted to say I'm sorry. I-i should've asked you about what you thought about this, but I got carried away. So you can be mad at me. I understand." She shyly spoke.

"I'm not mad." I reassured.

"You're not?"

"No. It's just I don't feel like the famous life is for me. I mean, I got my gang and all. Also, I got my amazing girlfriend. Let's not forget the money we get from the missions and from your uncle. That's basically all I need right now in my life." I hugged her, resting my chin on her head.

"Well if that's what you want, I'll go tell my uncle." She smiled, pulling out her phone.

I'm glad that I have Demi by my side.

Demi's POV

So Justin didn't agree with the whole music career thing. I understand that he doesn't want to leave his gang. He considers them his family and it's honestly so sweet. Whatever decision he made, I will support him no matter what happens.

"Babe, come here! I made a lit dinner!" Justin yelled from the kitchen.

It smelled so good. Justin has been cooking a lot lately and I couldn't have been more impressed. I remember the first time he cooked for me. He almost set the house on fire.

I quietly laughed at myself as Justin looked over at me, furrowing his eyebrows.

"Why you laughing over there?"

"Oh nothing." I grinned.

"I know, it's weird of me cooking and all."

"No, I love your cooking." I reassured, wrapping my arms around his waist.

"Okay, well let's eat."

Justin finally finished making the delicious meal. Ouu, pasta.

I took a bite into the pasta and it tasted like heaven.

"Mmm,this is so good." I moaned.

"Thanks Dems. And save the moans for the bedroom." He joked, causing me to roll my eyes at him.

As I was eating, I felt a little queasy. I suddenly felt all the food, I just ate shot all the way up my stomach.

I ran as fast as I can to the bathroom and through up everything in my system.

"Demi, you alright babe?" Justin was in the door way.

"Yeah, I'm aaauhhhh" I continued to throw up in the toilet.

Justin came in and held my hair up. He started to rub circles in my back as I continued to vomit.

I hate throwing up. It's disgusting.

"You're actually boyfriend goals." I looked at Justin and admired how helpful he was being.

"Haha, of course I am." He cockily stated.

"Maybe, I shouldn't cook at all. Clearly you don't like it." He added with a frown on his face.

"No, it was really good. Honest. It's just, I don't know what happened, I just felt sick that's all."

"Well alright, I'll get you some medication for your vomiting." Justin walked out of the bathroom.

What would I do without a guy like Justin?
