It All Started with the X Factor (a Demi Lovato Fan Fic)

Chapter 4

Demi's P.O.V

It had been a week since i had first met Jess and the past week had been amazing. I had spent all of my days off with her, just getting to know her better and every time i found out something new about her i just fell for her more and more.

It was live shows tonight and i could barely focus. I barely focused yesterday in rehearsals with Cece, i'm such a bad mentor and if she gets voted off it's not her fault and it's mine and then i've gone and ruined someones dream which i really didn't want on my conscience.

[Hey good luck tonight, i'll be watching you from home. Cannot wait to see how gorgeous you look tonight xx]

She was sweet, so sweet and she was the gorgeous one.

"Who are you texting?" I glanced up to see Simon hovering above me his brows raised.

I realized i had been staring at Jess' text with the biggest smirk on my face for the past few minutes.

"Just my girl-.. Friend, my friend" Shit Demi. He's going to suspect something, how could he not?

"Your what?" I watched him chuckle smirking down at me.

I swallowed the lump in my throat before opening my mouth to speak, but my phone went off and i glanced down to see Jess' name appear across the screen.

[You know... It is going to be so hard to not see you till Friday, like i'm already go crazy here!]

My heart raced reading the text, like it always did when i recieved a message from her.

"Yeah, just a friend... Mhmm.." I looked up and caught Simon rolling his eyes at me as he walked away.

[Hey at least you get to see my face appear on your screen! :(]

I got up off the couch and made my way towards the stage. Khloe and Mario were just about to step out onto the stage and then we'd follow behind them.

[It's not the same though! The screen does not taste like your lips!]

I couldn't help but chuckle, she was too cute. I glanced up to see L.A and Simon raising their brows at me.

"What?"

"So still just a friend?" Simon said smirking at me.

I frowned my brows huffing before handing my phone over to one of the crew members as Mario called out our queue to walk on stage and we made our way down the small steps and onto the stage. A wide grin planted across my face as i looked out at the audience blowing them kisses.

Friday.

Demi's P.O.V

Seriously, Friday couldn't have come faster. I barely focused at all this week, i am so glad Cece made it through even though she was in the bottom two once again. I promised her i'd work harder with her next week and that we'd focus, focus, focus! And make sure we were on our A games!

Although hopefully i could stick to my word. But Jess got me so damn distracted.

She was coming over for a movie date and i had been posting all over twitter.

'Jess, where the hell are you?! I will eat all this popcorn myself!'

People were beginning to like our friendship and i was so glad. Except Lovatics only thought we were 'friends', 'best friends' and i hated the fact that we were keeping this a secret.

But there was a lot on the line. For one i might maybe lose my job, although Simon loves me too much to fire me. His rankings would go down. People just love the show to watch our playful banter and secondly my fans, not all of them would be supportive and then i didn't want them sending hate to Jess. She doesn't deserve it.
