Everything Would Change

Gift Of A Friend

Chapter Two

MAC

I sat, my knee jiggling, as I waited for Demi to come out. I couldn't stop my palms sweating or my knee from jiggling I was so nervous, I was torn between wanting to see the end of the concert and wanting to go home. My emotions were so raw and after the initial shock of it all, my emotions have worn down and I just feel empty and lost. I know my blade will fix this, surely I have enough time to visit the bathroom before Demi gets back...

NO!what are you doing! You promised Demi before the concert remember! I tried reminding myself but the pull was so strong. I got up to go tothe bathroom but as I looked left and right I couldn't figure out which way to go. I turned left, right meant going back towards the mosh pit and the crowd and even the thought of that made my heartbeat so fast I almost couldn't breathe. As I turned left I heard someone shout "Hey!..."

DEMI

I finished singing skyscraper and thanked everyone for coming out. I waved and walked off stage laughing when I heard the crowd cheering my name begging for an encore. I ran back and started dancing to give your heart a break, once I had finished I waved goodbye and thanked everyone again for coming out and ran off stage! I sighed and drank down half a bottle of water Max handed to me. Suddenly I remember the girl "MAX! The girl!?" I nearly screamed, spitting the water I had been drinking. "Demi, she is just over there sitting waiting for you" he said pointing down the stairs towards my dressing room.I walked down the stairs and saw her looking towards my dressing room and stopped just watching to see where she went. "Hey! Where are you going?" Max! Oh the poor girl, she spun around so fast and looked so scared. "Max, go do things please" god he can be so stupid sometimes, bloody bodyguards I just hope she still wants to talk to me after this.

MAC

"Hey!Where are you going?" I spun around when I heard Max yelling both him and Demi staring at me, oh god they must think I'm crazy wondering around backstage. "Max, go do things please" Demi did not sound happy, oh god I'm probably just a burden to her, another thing she has to deal with before she can leave, please don't make her hate me. "Demi, I-I – she cut me off before I could finish"What's your name sweetheart? I'm so sorry about Max he's sometimes a bit harsher than he means to be and he wasn't angry that you were wondering off just concerned, I really hope he didn't scare you when he yelled at you" She looked worried, Demi was biting on her lower lip her brow furrowed. "N-No...He didn't scare me...I-I was worried he would t-think I was wondering about backstage aimlessly, instead of staying put like he asked..." I stuttered, why couldn't I even form a sentence right and in front of Demi at least! "Nah, It's okay were you looking for something? Also...you never did mention your name...?" God Demi is so cute...with her half smile oh wait conversation you need to talk Mac! "My names Mac...and I was just looking for a bathroom but I'm okay now..." And now she's going to wonder why I don't need a bathroom anymore, wow I'm so smart. "Okay Mac, that's so cute! Is it a nickname or..? Also let's head to my dressing room I'd love to take off this crazy make-up and get comfy!These leggings are riding up my butt!" laughed Demi as she started walking off, towards her dressing room I guess. "Yeah umm my name is Mackenzie, but I prefer Mac" I giggled "You were amazing tonight I just wish I didn't miss skyscraper I was really looking forward to it all night!" Demi smiled turning her head towards me and pushing open her dressing room door " Aww that's so sweet thank you! I always love performing skyscraper and I love seeing everyone in the crowd responding to it! Well this is my dressing room, why don't you sit down on the couch and I'll quickly change and then I'll come out and take off my make-up!" I sat down on the couch as Demi picked up some sweats and walked off to change. I looked at my hands and saw smudges of blood over them, I quickly pulled my sleeve up and winced at the friction against the cuts. Shit! They're still bleeding a little and I need to get the blood off my hands so Demi won't notice. Slowly walking around the room I see tissues next to her giant mirror, grabbing a bunch I wet some using my water bottle and wipe the blood off my hands and the rest I wrap over my cuts to help stop the bleeding. Pulling down my jacket sleeves I toss the used tissues in Demi's bin next to her mirror and walk back to the couch.Demi walks out then, smiles, and goes to her mirror "So much better in sweats! Now just to get rid of this make-up! So Mac are you from around here or just here for the concert? OH! How old are you" she giggled at her last question, she's the most adorable person ever.I laughed "I agree sweats are the best! And Yeah I live not far from here right near my school, Westmore High. I'm 15..." Demi smiled and removed the rest of her make-up as she tossed her make-up wipes in the bin I froze...what if she sees my dirty tissues!
