My Life

Chapter 8

Joe POV

I never meant for her to cry. I wanted her to smile and love life. It's too short. I wasn't being a push over was I? this is what I do when people are stubborn. I try so hard and I make them cry. Good for me huh? I heard thunder and I sighed. I walked slowly as the rain covered every inch of my body. I let myself cry no one would know the difference between my tears and the rain.

This disease is killing me slowly and I hate every moment of it. It has made my life a living hell. A heart transplant is hard. You need to have a correct match which is one in a billion. I look up and see I'm home. I walk in and go straight to my room. I take of my clothes and put on dry ones. I wrap the blanket around me and lay down on my bed. The door opens and in comes my mom. She sits in front of me as I'm still laying down.

"What's wrong?" she said running her hand through my hair.

"Demi was crying in a abandoned house and I know its because of me. Mom I can't take this anymore. This disease is going to kill me and I'm acting so cool about it. Life is too short and that's what I wanna teach Demi before I go. Shes stuck on whatever happened to her and just looking at her and family go through trouble hurts me." I said crying and hiding my face in my blanket.

"I'm so sorry I don't know what to say. You should tell Demi what's up. You can't keep hiding it maybe she will understand then" my mom said and I pull my face out of the blanket.

"No way I'm not doing that. She doesn't need to know no one does. I don't need other people's pity" I said and my mom shook her head.

"But joe" she said sighing after.

"No mom I'm not going to ill tell her on my own time" I said and she nodded. She kissed my head and went downstairs. I wiped my tears and let my heart break into pieces and I felt it shattering. I didn't sleep at all. I was awake until 9 in the morning. I didn't go for a jog I just laid there. My mom came in but I just said ill be down in a second but that second turned to hours. I thought I could never lay in bed this long and I'm not even sleepy. My mind is on Demi and only her.

I finally decided to get up. I got dressed and went downstairs. I looked at the time 12 in the afternoon.

"Hey look who's here?" my mom said smiling. I moved my head to see who it was.

"Hey! ready to go" Dianna said and I remembered about the restaurant. Shoot. I wasn't feeling it but I already promised her.

"Yea lets go" I said smiling a little. We both headed to the restaurant and when we reached there the one and only Demi was there. I avoided her as much as I could.

"Ok everybody thank you for coming it means alot to me and my family especially Patrick. Um joe here is a wonderful person. He has helped me so much with everything and asked for nothing in return. I'm thankful that he came into my life" Dianna said side hugging me and I smiled at everyone.

"Thanks dianna that means alot. Ok so we will have some people spray painting and some people cleaning." I said starting to get everyone to work.

"Three people cleaning, three people spray painting, three people go with decorations. Ill go with Dianna and get some food prepared" I said but I was interrupted my Dianna

"Actually I will like to stay behind and you can take Demi. I have a headache and heat of the stove is not going to help." She said and I nodded. Headaches are horrible she can't possibly wok but really it had to be Demi.

"Mom no I mean sterling can go with him" Demi said smiling but it was so forced

"No Demi you know where everything is and sterling doesn't" Dianna said and demi sighed. She totally hates me. Dianna winks at me then leaves. Darn it my mom told her. I'm not going to say anything until she does. I walk to the kitchen not really caring if Demi was behind me or not. I put my apron on and my chefs hat. I heard laughing and I was surprise to see it was Demi

"What?" I said and grabbed a knife and the ingredients I needed.

"You look funny that's all" she said and I was shocked my her outburst.

"Whatever" I said an started cutting. I was making ratatouille. Basically a vegetable dish.

"Look I'm sorry for what I said my emotions are all over the place and I just don't know when I'm going to burst out. I'm really sorry" she said looking me in the eye. I sighed and nodded.

"I wasn't mad at you I was just sad to see you so upset all the time and you could loosen up a bit" I said and put the vegetables to the side and sautéed them. I got ready to make the sauce.

"Look I'm fine where I am. I don't need you. I'm a happy person. I'm just apologizing that's it. Don't let it get to your head." She said and walked out. I sighed there she goes again pushing people away. I prepared the food and waited for a costumer to come in. It never did but just when we were about to give up a couple came in and ordered and it was a good amount of people comibg in, alot if you ask me. I saw Dianna smiling and I was happy for her.

"Lets all go out to the club to celebrate what do you say?" sterling said to me and I smiled giving him a hand shake.

"Go ask Demi if she wants to come" I said and sterling nodded going to Demi and I looked at them talking. She looked at me and I looked away. I looked back and I saw sterling put her head up by the chin and kiss her forehead. She smiled and thought for a minute. When he did that I turned away and felt a pang in my chest.

"She said yes" sterling said smiling bringing me out of my thoughts. I nodded and after we closed the restaurant we headed off to a club. It was near by so we walked. We all didn't talk on the way but whatever. The club was called mango so we went in and it was flooded with people dancing to the loud music. I made my way through the crowd to the bar and ordered a few drinks. By the time Demi and sterling reached me the drinks arrived. I smirked and pushed the drinks in front of Demi.

"Don't prove anything to me if you know how to have fun then you would have no problem drinking all of these. Demi stared at them wide eyed.
